HELP!! Container managed authentication problem with Apache 1.3 + Tomcat 4 + Warp
Subject: HELP!! Container managed authentication problem with Apache 1.3 + Tomcat 4 + Warp From: Hyunjin Kim [EMAIL PROTECTED] === Hi, I have recently set up TOMCAT 4 + Apache 1.3 with ***Warp connector***. Although I have failed to have Apache forward *.do calls to jakarta correctly (for struts Action servlet calls), everything else seems to work fine(it's kinda outta subject, but my struts is now configured to be called when /execute is seen). My problem is: - I have set up my app with default JDBC realm container managed security, and it works fine when called from :8080... but when I try to access the security constrained folder (/admin in my case) through Apache(port :80), it forwards me to the correct page(login.jsp page). However, when I put in the correct username/password(that works find in :8080), it ALWAYS forwards me to error page. Strange thing is, my login attempt through apache doesn't even get logged... When I try to log in from :8080, all my attemps are logged, like following: 2002-04-01 16:11:41 JDBCRealm[/adsf]: Username hyunjin has role administrator 2002-04-01 16:13:12 JDBCRealm[/asdf]: Username hyunjin NOT successfully authenticated ...

Re: Character Encoding
I have used: request.setCharacterEncoding(ISO-8859-1); and when I want to display the following line (in Danish): Sjclland og Rerne Is it supposed to be ISO-8859-1, in the first place? Danish should be in the Latin-1 subset, AFAIK. Also, why are you setting request and complaining on what is displayed (which is correlated to response object)? I get these results: Mozilla (Linux OS):Sjclland og Rerne Netscape (Windows OS):Sjclland og Rerne Explorer (Windows OS):Sjýlland og ýerne The data are fetched from a PostgreSQL DB Server encoded to LATIN1. When I am using the data from DB directly within my JSP pages there are no problems. It is only when I am using the parameters received from other pages I see the problem with the character encoding. One thing that might be bugging you is the encoding of the HTML document. Is it se to ISO-8859-1? Your page should look something like this: % page contentType=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 % ... html head titleTest/title meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 ... /head ...

Re: How to do filter after Servlet?
You have to implement a response wrapper class to do something with response. The wrapper class is to give successors in the filter chain a fake output stream. The original output stream should be kept unused. By the way, be careful to overload ServletResponseWrapper.getOutputStream() as well as getWriter(). These two methods are correlated, and you don't know which methods will be used by the continuing filters and servlets in the filter chain. If you overload just one of these two, you cannot assure a consistent behaviour out of Tomcat.

How to debug Tomcat itself?
Hi all.
I would like to get some advice on debugging Tomcat itself. I have downloaded
Tomcat-4.0.3-src and managed to make a JBuilder 6 project out of it.
I can start Tomcat and I can enter a debugging session. My main goal is to see
what is going on with those JNDI JDBC resources (JNDI troubles - several threads).
I figured that my main problem lies in TyrexDataSourceFactory class, since it
reads JNDI object and tries to create a DataSource object out of it. It is
surrounded by one large try {} catch() clause, which masks all exceptions and
just returns null, without logging anything at all.
So, I compiled everything and set a breakpoint in:
TyrexDataSourceFactory-getObjectInstance()
but JBuilder never stops there. I also tried to run step by step, but JBuilder
gets lost around XML parsing code (enters an interface source, insted of
implementation).
QUESTIONS
-
1. Any immediate advice?
2. What is the flow of operations?
3. When is Tyrex actually invoked? Upon parsing or upon deploying a context?
Nix.

RE: Reloading Web Applications without manager and without reloadable=true
I stand corrected. I didn't think you could override the default manager role since it is not defined in the web.xml. So you have manager working with a user without the 'manager' role? Or are you adding another role requirement to to the manager path? This is what it appears that you are doing in the example as opposed to replacing 'manager' with 'myappmanager'. Certainly you could add another role requirement on top of manager - you would just have to make sure that each webapp's manager does the same if you want users to only have access to their own app. Charlie -Original Message- From: Jeff Larsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 10:34 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Reloading Web Applications without manager and without reloadable=true Not true.

Direct login without login form between pages
I've got container-managed form-based login working fine under the following scenario: User starts on page A, which is accessible by all visitors, including unauthenticated visitors. User clicks on a link to page B, which requires a role of 'admin'. In this case, Tomcat brings up a login form and the user enters information, then is directed to page B. Here is an alternate scenario I would also like to get working: User starts on page A, which has a login box in the upper right hand corner. User enters information that maps to an 'admin' role. User is directed to page B, which is the welcome page for admin users. Does anyone know how to get the second scenario working? I have tried a form with method=POST and action=j_security_check, but it seems you can't specify the login URL as a direct action, and anyway I'm not sure how I tell Tomcat to go to page B.

You will want to get the JNDI specs (http://java.sun.com/products/jndi) as you look into this. A good starting point would be to look at the following classes in the org.apache.naming.resources package: * BaseDirContext - Convenience base class for resources implementations * FileDirContext - Implementation used when you run a webapp from an unpacked directory * WARDirContext - Implementation used when you run a webapp directly from a WAR file The mechanism by which the right resources implementation is selected is a little obtuse, and I've never actually tried replacing it via the Resources element, but it should be possible. ANY help you be greatly appreciated! Vlad Craig -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Reloading Web Applications without manager and without reloadable=true
As long as the role-name in the manager app web.xml matches the role assigned to a user in tomcat-users.xml, it works. - Original Message - From: Cox, Charlie [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Tomcat Users List' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 10:15 AM Subject: RE: Reloading Web Applications without manager and without reloadable=true I stand corrected. I didn't think you could override the default manager role since it is not defined in the web.xml. So you have manager working with a user without the 'manager' role? Or are you adding another role requirement to to the manager path? This is what it appears that you are doing in the example as opposed to replacing 'manager' with 'myappmanager'.

Mapping *.abc requests to Tomcat
All,
I have been having lots of fun attempting to setup Apache/Tomcat on my
MacOS-X box. We have been using the older Apache/JServ combination for
years now with no problems whatsoever. However the move to Tomcat has been
more than painful. I have managed to get it to do many wonderful things,
but nothing close to the way JServ use to work.
Here is the problem.
We have the ApacheWebServer (AWS) and we wish it to handle a number of
Virtual Hosts. No big deal there. Each of the these virtual hosts has its
own document root and various other configurations. So far so good. We
have a special file extension, [*.abc] that must be passed to a particular
servlet for processing. These files are everywhere.
So ... we want a file that ends with .abc to be processed by Tomcat.
After much buggering around with Tomcat4.0 we could only get it to process
all files; ie the main ApacheWebServer was taken out of the loop and was not
even doing the static files such as images etc. Read somewhere on Google,
that Tomcat4.0 couldn't do this just yet, but move down to Tomcat3. To
which we did.
Moved down to Tomcat3.0. Modified the {tomcat}/conf/web.xml and added in
our mappings ... but this never made a difference. Our servlet is to load
at startup and nothing. It wouldn't load for love'nor'money. So we moved
it to {tomcat}/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml and it loaded there with no
problems. However still doesn't get hit.
Here is the relevant section from Apache's httpd.conf:
--] httpd.conf
ApJservManual on
ApJServDefaultProtocol ajpv12
ApJServSecretKey DISABLED
ApJServMountCopy on
ApJServLogLevel info
ApJservDefaultPort 9007
AddType text/abc .abc
AddHandler jserv-servlet .abc
ApJServLogFile /tmp/mod_jserv.log
-
I have attempted adding [ApServMount / /root] but that doesn't seem to make
a different, except our ABC files are sent back to us as plain text!
--] server.xml---
Host name=www2.myhost.org
Context path=
docBase=/home/webroot/www2.myhost.org
reloadable=false
debug=1 /
/Host
-
So ... the question's are:
Q1. I feel so close ... but no cigar. What am i missing?
Q2. Should {tomcat}/conf/web.xml be getting read?
Q3. How do i setup Tomcat 3 (or 4) so that .abc are processed across all
VH's and across all directories.
thank you very much,
alan

Re: Mapping *.abc requests to Tomcat
First question - with tomcat3.x, are you still using mod_jserv ? If it
worked before with jserv, it should still work with the exactly same
apache config and module as before, assuming you have a 'recent'
mod_jserv ( i.e. 1..2 years old - but I think '99 would work too ).
Just replace the java jserv with tomcat.
If you use mod_jk - the same apache settings and module will work with
both tomcat3.x and 4.x. You probably need
JkMount *.abc WORKER_NAME
( where WORKER_NAME is typically ajp13 or whatever you define in
workers.properties )

RE: Mapping *.abc requests to Tomcat
Thanks for that Costin ... however ... i am on a new server ... everyone has
been raving about the Apple so i am moving up to that! :)
With respect to the mod_jk library ... whats the difference with this and
mod_jserv?
Also ... if i use that method ... does all the .properties files that were
with JServ of yore, come back into action again?
thanks

mod_jk and load balancing
Hi, I am using two tomcat severs load balanced by mod_jk(with apache). The load factor (as specified in the workers.properties) for the both the tomcat servers are the equal. To test whether the load is being distributed equally, I sent 100 requests to the apache server. The servlet code under both tomcat being identical, I found that When the servlet to which the request is being sent responds quickly (less than few seconds), the number of request sent to both tomcat1 and tomcat2 were equal (50 requests each). When the servlet take a longer time (say 3 minutes) to respond, the request distribution is not so equal (3 request for one server and 97 for the other). I did a Thread.sleep(1000*60*3) to delay the response. Is there any way I can make the load balancer distribute the load equally among the servers? viswa. -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Process for using Manager reload of war file?
I'm trying to understand the complete process of getting the Manager application to completely reload a rebuilt application. I'm on Win2k, with TC 4.0.4b2, and JDK 1.4.0. With Tomcat down, I make sure I have a valid WAR file copied into webapps, and the unpacked directory is gone. I then start Tomcat and test the app. Now, I make a minor change to one JSP file and rebuild the WAR file. At this point, I've tried various things, starting with copying the new WAR file into webapps. I've tried the reload op. I've tried using stop, and then start. I've tried deleting the unpacked directory, but while Tomcat is running, this never completes (Tomcat probably has something open). None of these things seem to result in Tomcat reloading the app. When I retest the app, it doesn't show the minor change I made to the JSP. I've verified that the Manager app basically works, as I can execute the list operation, and I can use stop and start on an app to see its different output in the list output. I'm just using wget to interface to the Manager app, writing results to standard output. I wondered whether the unpackWARs attribute in my Context element in server.xml would make it NOT unpack the WAR into the directory, but this seemed to have no effect. I set this to false, made sure the unpacked directory was gone, restarted Tomcat, and it unpacked the WAR again. -- === David M.

When I perform an action from the 2nd popup window, it closes it self and refresh the 1st popup. The 1st popup doesn't seem to have the right session info.

Re: Process for using Manager reload of war file?
Here's the deal with unpacking of war files: It only happens when Tomcat starts and autodeploys apps that do not otherwise have a Context element in server.xml. If you manually define the context, it won't unpack the war file! If you update the war file and reload, it won't re-unpack the war file! Absolutly NOTHING will get tomcat to re-unpack a war file except stopping tomcat, manually deleting the unpacked directory, and restarting tomcat. And again, it ONLY unpacks auto-deployed apps. I've given up on war files, because I need my app unpacked so Apache can serve the static content. Luckily, I have an ftp client (CuteFTP) than can upload an entire directory structure with one command. Then, with the files already unpacked (I have reloadable=false in my Context), I use the manager app to reload my application. Personally, I fail to see the purpose of auto-unpacking of war files if the only way to reload is to manually delete the unpacked directory (Tomcat developers: are you listening?!?!?).

And the same thing happens to the main window when I perform an action on the 1st popup. None of this happens to IE 5.5 or netscape 6.x. Does anyone come across this problem before? Work around? Please HELP!!! Thanks in advance!!! -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: HELP!! Container managed authentication problem with Apache 1.3 + Tomcat 4 + Warp
Subject: Re: HELP!! Container managed authentication problem with Apache 1.3 + Tomcat 4 + Warp From: Hyunjin Kim [EMAIL PROTECTED] === uh oh... I just found out that tomcat example application's security stuff works fine from port 80. That means the apache-tomcat connection was not the problem... I also found out that the username/password combination defined in /jakarta-tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml works(go through the authentication with role defined in that tomcat-users.xml file). and that doesn't make sense here's my server.xml for the application i am developing: !-- Nano Enc Context -- Context path=/nanoenc docBase=nanoenc debug=0 reloadable=true Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger prefix=nanoenc_log. suffix=.txt timestamp=true/ !-- Using JCBC Realm for security reasons.. -- Realm className=org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm debug=99 driverName=com.jk.jdbc.Driver connectionName=sa connectionPassword= connectionURL=jdbc:jk://211.333.999:1433/database=Nano userTable=tblUSER userNameCol=user_name userCredCol=user_password userRoleTable=tblUSER_ROLE roleNameCol=role_name / /Context I haven't deleted the Realm className=org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm / section that came with server.xml file, but it said realm from lower level would override the global one.. so.. this should work right??

I need to have apache understand that I am going to use different authentication method for context nanoenc. (it might be impossible for me to fix this without changing code for warp or tomcat.. i guess..) If you give me any idea or helping hand, I will really appreciate.

You probably want to have tomcat 'ready' before starting apache - otherwise users may send requests and get error messages ( since tomcat is down ). If you have most of the information static, and only few services on tomcat, you'll probably want to start apache first - so the downtime is minimal. The tricky part is keeping all the things running all the time- even when you change the system, and for that you'll have to use loadbalancing and all kind of tricks. Hopefully this will become easier in next jk.

Libraries problem
Hello, I use TC 4.0.3, my web app used XML parser and transformer (throught the XML Jakarta project FOP). Before I was using TC 4.0.1, with this version my application was working with all libraries (jar files) used to run it who were inside my WEB-INF/lib. I do not understand why now I am with TC 4.0.3, I have to put a transformer jar (xalan) in my TC/common/lib repository ?

AW: AW: sessions, security, and the RFCs
As I understand it, the spec doesn't say much about the session bahaviour in this scenario. So it's quite legal that different containers implement opposite behaviours for the switch between http and https.

Re: Libraries problem
Hi Raymond, Supposedly having the XML parser in the webapp itself is against the Sun classloading spec. The spec was beginning to be implemented in 4.0.2 (in fact, if you look at 4.0.2-b2, you still get the 4.0.1 behavior). 4.0.3 is pretty much an exact copy of 4.0.2 except with a security fix. 4.0.4 betas are starting to get the classloading issues right (before you would see a lot of ClassNotFoundExceptions even if the lib was in the proper directory in Tomcat outside the webapp). Here's the official bug on this behavior: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6374 (note that it is fixed, btw) Much of this has to do with the fact that j2sdk.4.0 now contains an XML parser by default. You may have noticed the new lite builds without most of the libraries since 1.4.0 already includes them.
