No stack trace?

[Andoni]

Hello,

I am currently trying to implement a system which sends me an email if the site 
ever has an exception (not that it ever will of course!). To this end I have 
inserted a simple exception into my code and when I run the code in Tomcat 
there is no stack trace! Either in the HTML of the JSP or in the console! I 
simply did:

String nullStr = null;
nullStr.trim();

both in a servlet and in a JSP and neither seem to have any effect. Going to 
other applications that I am working on at the moment I can cause a stack trace 
in them no problem.

Under what conditions (if any) will Tomcat swallow the output of an exception 
(a stack trace)?

Thanks in advance,

Andoni.

Re: java.lang.ClassCircularityError

[Andoni]

Hi Jagadish,

Do you have a drawing of all your inheritance relationships? This error seems 
to be caused by a circular inheritance relationship i.e.:

class ClassOne extends ClassTwo {
...
}

class ClassTwo extends ClassOne {
...
}

Obviously there could be many more than two classes involved so it may be best 
to draw out the class tree. Specially if it is complicated.

Hope that helps.

Andoni.

Just thinking aloud here... is there anywhere in your program that you are 
using Java Reflection?

Beyond this I am afraid I have no more ideas for now :-(

  HI  Andoni, 
  Thanks for the reply, It uses association that too unidirectional, I 
have seen the option in sun forum as have you explained to me. I tried to 
compile classes like this for just to get that error. This scenario won't 
compile, It gave me a error saying cycling inheritence.
  Do you know any other scenarios which could cause this problem.

Re: Apache/Win32 + mod_jk problem

[Andoni]

Hi,

Try using the version of mod_jk.dll which you can find here:

http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/win32/jk-1.2.6/

Called:
mod_jk_1.2.6_1.3.31.dll

Don't forget to change the line which refers to it in httpd.conf. Also don't
forget to rename it to mod_jk.dll.

I think the .so version is only for Apache with SSL built in.

Andoni.

 I cannot run apache with mod_jk on Windows XP Pro + SP1. I have had no
 troubles doing the same thing with multiple versions of Apache  mod_jk on
 multiple versions of Solaris, Linux and FreeBSD. This is, however, my
 first attempt at mixing Windows with real software :-S

 I'm running the following versions:

 Apache  1.3.33  ${APACHE_MIRROR}/httpd/binaries/win32/
 apache_1.3.33-win32-x86-no_src.exe
 mod_jk  1.2.8

 MD5SUMs:

 ea33398544fe6ecdccecf81307c86211mod_jk-1.2.8-apache-1.3.33-eapi.so

 The Apache one agrees with that listed on the website, but I can't find an
 md5sum listed for mod_jk...

 -
 C:\apacheapache

 The mod_jk file has been renamed mod_jk.so and placed in the
 c:/apache/modules directory. I have tried with it renamed as .dll and it
 makes no difference.

 I've also tried introducing intentional typos in the LoadModule command
 (eg LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_foojk.so), and found that this
 changed the error message to something like module not found, so it's
 definitely finding the module.

 I'm somewhat stuck here. The only documentation that mentions this error
 is for mod_ssl, and it suggests that I have an error in the AddModule
 line... Which I don't think I do...

 Could someone advise?

Re: Apache/Win32 + mod_jk problem

Hi Richard,

If you have been reading this list for any period of time you may have
noticed that JK is more to do with Zen and Voodoo than real computer
science! It causes so many people heartache that it is unbelievable. The
only reason I knew the answer to your problem is because I have recently had
the same problem myself.

While researching I was happy to hear that JK2 is being put out to pasture
because of a lack of interest. At least this makes one less decision for the
likes of you and I to make when choosing a binary to download.

Basically my advice would be either:
Take it up as a hobby, sort it out, decompile it, write to the developers,
re-write the documentation, champion the cause and sort the whole thing out
for everyone for once and for all... or:
Thank the Zen gods for getting it working for you and move rapidly along to
your next job! ;-)

Can you guess which one I'd pick?

Later,
Andoni.

 Thanks Andoni, that appeared to work.

 However, I don't really understand why.

 I had actually thought that this might be related to EAPI, which I
 understand is the primary difference (apart from mod_ssl itself) between
 Apache without SSL and Apache with SSL. However, I couldn't find any
 mention of this in the JK docs, nor in the Apache or Tomcat docs, and
 given that there was no option to download an EAPI/SSL Apache 1.3.33, and
 no option to download a non-EAPI/SSL mod_jk 1.2.8, I presumed that they
 were compatible. Certainly more likely than this one, which is allegedly
 for Apache 1.3.31, and is an old version of mod_jk anyway.

 Does this mean that there is no binary Win32 Apache 1.3.33 and mod_jk
 1.2.8 that can be downloaded that work with each other? This seems a
 little odd to me... Surely I'm missing something?

Hi all,

First of all thanks to all the people who helped in the first place (I
am grateful). The problem was resolved and was due to some problem with
the home grown framework we were using with the application.

Tomcat had nothing to do with the problem and content type is the only
thing required to make it work. As far as the database persistence was
concerned, oracle did no mistake in storing the data but when our
framework was persisting the values, it somehow corrupted the data
somewhere in the middle of submitting the page with non-english
characters and writing to the database.

We found this problem by simply writing a simple jsp page without using
the framework and rendered some non-english characters successfully.

Thanks again,
Arnab

Why would I want the admin app separately? What previous versions of TC will

When would I use an embedded version?

Re: UTF-8 Encoding in Jsp

[Andoni]

I would recommend that you make the Entire Site UTF-8. The parts that are in
English will still work no problem but I would really not try mixing the
encoding for requests.

The junk characters you are getting back are also not actually junk. You
can work out what encoding is being used by interpreting these string and
knowing what the intended string is. Also the fact that you are not just
getting lots of ? characters means that it is not Oracle that is having
the problem.

I will read the other reply when I get a chance and see if I have any
further contributions but for now I really strenuously suggest making ALL
the pages/servlets UTF-8.

Regards,
Andoni.

catalina.policy in $CATALINA_BASE/conf was modified with:
 grant codeBase

file:/iobox/Sw_comercial/Tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/server/webapps/admin/
 WEB-INF/classes/- {
   permission java.security.AllPermission;
 };

I would recommend that you fix the problem by taking out the directory here
and starting with full permissions to be sure everything works then:

grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
}

Assuming that this box is not live on the web and that you trust everyone
who has access to it! Then add the directories one at a time, testing as you
go:

grant codeBase file:/iobox/- {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
}

Then grow it up until something breaks again.

Subject: Admin and Manager applications don't work with modified
CATALINA_BASE and startup.sh -security


Hi all,
I have problems to run jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31 with CATALINA_BASE other
 than CATALINA_HOME using security.

I use startup.sh -security.

My CATALINA_HOME is /iobox/Sw_comercial/Tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31
My CATALINA_BASE is /iobox/servicios/desarrollo/mms
My admin.xml is in /iobox/servicios/desarrollo/mms/webapps
My manager.xml is in /iobox/servicios/desarrollo/mms/webapps

admin.xml and manager.xml were modified following
 http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/RUNNING.txt
 so, admin.xml has
 Context path=/admin

docBase=/iobox/Sw_comercial/Tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/server/webapps/adm
 in
 debug=0 privileged=true
 and manager.xml has
 Context path=/admin

docBase=/iobox/Sw_comercial/Tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/server/webapps/man
 ager
 debug=0 privileged=true

catalina.policy in $CATALINA_BASE/conf was modified with:
 grant codeBase

file:/iobox/Sw_comercial/Tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/server/webapps/admin/
 WEB-INF/classes/- {
   permission java.security.AllPermission;
 };

 grant codeBase

file:/iobox/Sw_comercial/Tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/server/webapps/admin/
 WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar {
   permission java.security.AllPermission;
 };

When Tomcat is starting I get the next exception:
 - Root Cause -

 Any idea will be appreciated.

Re: UTF-8 Encoding in Jsp

[Andoni]

Hello,

First and foremost I would say: be absolutely sure that it is the JSP's
fault. I hope you are not getting some data from a database and trying to
show it? Be sure that your editor is saving the JSP in UTF-8 format.

Add the flag:
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
to the CATALINA_OPTS environment variable in your catalina.bat (or
equivalent) startup file.

and use:
req.setCharacterEncoding(UTF-8);
to set the encoding on the request.

This may help:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-userm=105524550416364w=2

Though you can ignore the method wich is used to set the encoding as the
above line does the same job in servlets.

Andoni.

Re: [OT] SCWCD Exam 1.4

[Andoni]

Hi,

After reading this mail last night I found a shop in Dublin which had the
book in stock. I raced into town after work to get there before the shop
closed and got there 5 minutes before closing.

I was so relieved and when I saw the book on the shelf I was well pleased.
Only when I opened it to take a look did I realise the true extent of what
you meant by jokes, cartoons and fill in the blanks pages. It looks more
like a children's nursery rhyme book than a Java Certification book!

I just put it back on the shelf and walked back out of the shop :-(

Thanks, but no thanks, I'll be waiting until January.

 I'm part way through the Head First book. I really didn't like Head First
 Java though it got rave reviews when it came out. And I did like the first
 version of the Manning SCWCD book.

 That said I'm finding the Head First Servlets and JSP book enjoyable,
though
 I've only read the first 150 pages or so. The authors are from
 www.javaranch.com and I'm sure you can get plenty of additional
information
 there. Of course a lot of fans of the Head First books hang out there too.

 Whether you could actually use it for certification I'm not sure. I think
 that you probably could based on what I've read so far because it strives
to
 get you to understand servlets, jsp and everything connected with them on
a
 basic level. It does so with jokes, cartoons, fill in the blank pages,
etc.
 I'm sure a lot of people will hate this manner of learning just as others
 can't stand the drier approach of the Manning book. My feeling is that if
 you are not someone who gets offended by jokey material that you can read
 this book and learn enough to pass the exam, esp. if you also read the
specs
 as the book suggests. But take this with a grain of salt as I've not taken
 the 1.4 exam and I'm only 1/8 of the way through the book.

 If you like your books serious though, then steer very clear.

 Hope this helps,

 Ken

 I'd be completely remiss in not mentioning that Manning is putting out a

 Manning's ISBN is 1932394389 (that's the one scheduled for January)

 HeadFirst is 0596005407  (the one out now)

 both of them cover the new exam.

Re: JavaScript/JSP Question

[Andoni]

Hi,

Yes, there is a way. It is not related to Tomcat in any way but...

what you need to use is string.indexOf(string2)

So, take the value of the current item in the combo box and see if it
contains the string you are searching for using the indexOf() method. This
is a JavaScript issue though so I suggest if you have further problems you
try addressing comp.lang.JavaScript (available from Google).

If the indexOf() method does not find the substring it will return -1 if it
does, it will return it's index.

HTH

Re: Protecting my web server

[Andoni]

Also trim down your server.xml (over a number of days if necessary) to only
what is necessary.

If you only have to expose one webapp then only have one connector in that
service, and one engine which has the only host inside it as the default and
that has the only context inside it as your application.

Then put liveDeploy=false and autoDeploy=false in the Host

Then you can go into %tomcat_home%/conf/web.xml and set listings parameter
to false so that nobody can see directory  listings no matter what you do.

As for monitoring I would suggest putting an Apache web server in front of
your Tomcat server but if it's only for a short time this may be too much
hassle. What you can do instead is to add an Access log valve to your
Engine and monitor the contents of the access logs every day to see that
there are no hack attempts coming in through port 80.

Also you might download a free portscanner from the web to see what ports
are open on your machine. Once you have found the open ports use Windows to
close down the programs that are listening on them.

Best of luck.

Andoni.

[OT] SCWCD Exam 1.4

Hello,

I know this is off topic but I was just wondering if anybody had done either 
the new 1.4 version of the SCWCD Exam (Sun Certified Web Component Developer) 
or the upgrade exam from 1.2.

If you have can you recommend any book or reference page. It seems to be a bit 
new at the moment and nobody seems to have gotten their act together on writing 
a book for it yet so all there is to go on is the reference from SUN and 
looking things up on the web.

  had done either the new 1.4 version of the SCWCD Exam (Sun
  Certified Web Component Developer) or the upgrade
  exam from 1.2.
 
  If you have can you recommend any book or reference page. It
  seems to be a bit new at the moment and nobody seems to have
  gotten their act together on writing a book for it yet so all
  there is to go on is the reference from SUN and looking
  things up on the web.
 
  Andoni.

Re: Servlet mapping problem.

[Andoni]

If you are not using Struts why did you call the login JSP,
loginResponse.do?

Did you add .do to your web.xml file as a JSP type? Can you post your
web.xml.

Re: Installing a webmail client such as squirrelmail (PHP) on tomcat?

[Andoni]

Tomcat is fine and all but in this case it is definitely not the right tool
for the job.  I know you've had problems with Apache but I'd go look at it
again. I am running apache 1.3 and I have a 5 line workers.properties, and
one line in server.xml, my connector has never been a problem. Installing
PHP took less time to do than it did to download the module over DSL!

Just my 2 cents: Go to old Apache, Old JK, and set up simply.

That's right, because I saw so many mails related to apache connector,

My OS is winXP professional. Somehow, the apache server service looks

After I refresh it, the apache service is not running. It was running
like that for more than 3 monthes and
Finally I gave up, because my focus is Tomcat, I just want to make

Wouldn't the easiest way be to run apache as a front end with mod_jk2?
It's pretty simple and it saves the hassle of possibly taking down the
whole server with a crash, or any security hassles.

Serve php with apache, serve everything else to tomcat.

Re: Suggestion - upgrade scripts.

[Andoni]

Ok, I have been playing around with this idea. What I would use most would
not so much be an upgrade script between versions but an upgrade script
between sub-version. Or maybe even just a list of the files that have
changed in a sub-version upgrade, and a copy of each one.

Like an upgrade version of Tomcat. You only download the files that have
changed!

I know this is recoverable from the release notes but it would be made
simpler if there was just a zip file with only the changed jars etc.

Yes / No / Not useful ?

 The 5.0.x - 5.5.x guide is on the way.

 Have at it!  Where I'm from, such a statement is considered a statement
 that you volunteer your time to do this. ;)

 In all seriousness, how could there be such a tool?  Most of what Tomcat
 does and provides is detailed in the servlet/JSP specs: it must handle
 WAR files, it must service JSPs, and so on.  In turn, most of the
 upgrade process involves you, the developer, testing and adjusting your
 app to fit the new specs.  Looking at the upgrade guide I've assembled,
 there were only a couple of changes to Tomcat config files.

Re: gc output for tomcat?? where is it

[Andoni]

What I find is that when something goes to the console but not to the
stdout.log file it is going to Standard Error. Do you have any way of
checking where the stderr stream is going? Can you write a line into your
file saying:
System.err.println(Find this line.);

and then do a search of the stdout.log file for it. if it's not there then
do a text seach of the Tomcat tree, then the drive! Chances are, when you
find one you'll find the other.

I have noticed that some developers on this list refer to Tomcats Database
Pooling. It looks like there are some hooks into the deployment file. So I

if so, is it good, and is it portable? Links, references would be great.

Suggestion - upgrade scripts.

[Andoni]

Hello,

Ever since a recent conversation about the status of the 4.1.xx branch of the 
Tomcat tree I have been wondering about the best route for upgrading the 
servers which I manage. Having browsed the Tocmat website and seen the 
differences between the different versions I have noticed what's missing.

I think there should be some development effort put into scripts for upgrading 
from the previous version of Tomcat. If these scripts could also download from 
the website then the simplest answer to I'm running 4.1.27 and it crashes when 
I ...  would be Then run the upgrade script and call back! I actually hope 
the user list never becomes this rude but you get my gist. At least a lot more 
people would have the option to upgrade if they didn't have to know exactly 
what was involved (i.e. a script could know for them).

Anyone got any free development time?

Just a suggestion.

Andoni.

Re: Context element problems in conf/server.xml

[Andoni]

Hi Andrew,

Definitely cleaning up Server.xml to remove all those confusing comments and
commented out sections is a great idea. I'd also suggest you change all XML
tags to be on one line each and indent the whole file properly if you
haven't already done so.

I must admit that I have no idea why it is requiring you to use the path=/
attribute with the forward slash. The very first option looks fine to me.
Have you tried not using servername as the name of your env. variable, if
that is in fact what you are using? It may be conflicting with something
else.

Other things you might try, if you don't want to just leave well enough
alone! Are:
1. Try setting up a second Host, leave the one that's there alone but set
up Host name=www.joebloggs.com and configure that up. Then add it to your
LMHOSTS file in the Windows/system32 directory.
2. Change the name of the Environment variable to servername2 and see if
it's a conflict issue.
3. Leave well enough alone!

Sorry I could not help any further.

Rgds,
Andoni.

 Thanks again. That works great, I'm accessing my webapp fine as the
 default webapp with the following

 Engine name=Catalina defaultHost=localhost debug=9
   Host name=localhost debug=9 appBase=webapps unpackWARs=true
 autoDeploy=true xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false
 Context path= docBase=pets-proper debug=9
   Environment name=servername type=java.lang.String
 value=dev.andrew override=false/
 /Context
   /Host
 /Engine

 However, my application can't find the 'servername' environment property
 again!

 The combinations I've tried (each one three times to be sure) and their
 behaviour

 path=, docBase=xxx, WAR named xxx.war --- WAR is unpacked, webapp
 starts but property not found
 path=/, docBase=xxx, WAR named xxx.war --- WAR is unpacked, webapp
 starts but property not found
 path=, docBase=ROOT, WAR named ROOT.war --- WAR is not unpacked,
 webapp does not start
 path=/, docBase=ROOT, WAR named ROOT.war --- WAR is unpacked, webapp
 starts and property found!

 I'm now really confused. The last option was where I came in! This
 didn't work previously and now does. I really wish that I understood
 tomcats behaviour. The only other change is that I've cleaned up my
 server.xml file but only to remove comments and commented out sections.

 Andoni, thank you for your replies. Does this make any sense at all to
 you? If I have the time I'll take a look at the tomcat source but
 deadlines are looming at the moment... For the moment I have my fingers
 crossed (not my favourite policy) that all will keep working.

 Hi Andoni
 
 Thanks again for your reply.
 
 I hope I'm understanding what you say correctly, apologies if not. If I
 rename my WAR to say, app.war, then to access a page the URL would
 become http://localhost/app/login.jsp. The reason why I changed the
 appBase to ROOT and renamed my WAR ROOT.war was so that the URL would be
 http://localhost/login.jsp. This is a customer directive.
 
 Is the problem that I'm going about this the wrong way in the first
 place? Can I have an app.war and access it like
 
 
 http://localhost/login.jsp?

 Hi
 
 I posted a problem a couple of days ago which I've made some progress
 
 
 with.
 
 
 Originally my webapp ROOT.war would not unpack. I've figured out the
 problem was with the Context element as shown below
 
 Context path= docBase=ROOT debug=9
   Environment name=servername type=java.lang.String
 value=dev.andrew/
 /Context
 
 If I unpacked ROOT.war manually then my application worked fine.
 
 By adding a forward slash to the path attribute as shown below
 
 Context path=/ docBase=ROOT debug=9
   Environment name=servername type=java.lang.String
 value=dev.andrew/
 /Context
 
 tomcat now unpacks the WAR fine. However, my application no longer
 starts because it cannot find the 'servername'! Yikes!
 
 Does anybody have any suggestions please?
 
 Thanks again

Re: Context element problems in conf/server.xml

[Andoni]

Yes, you can have any xxx.war that you access from
http://localhost/login.jsp so long as it's path= and it is the only
context in that Host which has path=. This is what makes it the default
app.

 Hi Andoni

 Thanks again for your reply.

 I hope I'm understanding what you say correctly, apologies if not. If I
 rename my WAR to say, app.war, then to access a page the URL would
 become http://localhost/app/login.jsp. The reason why I changed the
 appBase to ROOT and renamed my WAR ROOT.war was so that the URL would be
 http://localhost/login.jsp. This is a customer directive.

 Is the problem that I'm going about this the wrong way in the first
 place? Can I have an app.war and access it like
http://localhost/login.jsp?

 Best regards
 Andrew

 Ok, You can ignore the logger's and valve's when you are worrying

 What you have to be aware of is that ROOT is more than just another

 for a webapp. ROOT is a special name for the default webapp in a host.
 Therefore what you should do is to remove all references to root. Comment
 out this line of the server.xml, call your .war file something else and
set

Re: Ask for the best way to handle an exception

[Andoni]

Hello,

I find that I get this error a lot in two situations:
1. When I have just put a new webapp live and not precompiled the JSPs
myself.
2. When there is heavy load on the server.

So, I suggest, if you are compiling your JSPs before making your app
available to your users, and you are still getting a large number of these
errors, you need a faster machine. Of course some will always be present but
you should monitor the number of them even just by taking a mental note each
day of the number of them in the log.

Andoni.

Hi,
First, this error is not serious and can safely be ignored.

But if you want avoid it, don't click other buttons until the action is
done ;)  Of course that's easier to say than to enforce.  One way to
enforce this is some basic JavaScript: set all form buttons to disabled
when one is clicked, and have each button's action re-enable the other
buttons when it's done.  There are JavaScript examples online that do
this, it's easy.

More apps = More load ?

[Andoni]

Hello,

Does Tomcat use more resources depending on how many apps are present even if 
they are not being used?

In the last few days, customers have been ringing the helpdesk in my company 
complaining about the speed of the web sites we host on the Tomcat Servers. I 
associated this with the fact that I had just made a copy of one of the biggest 
sites on the Tomcat machine for use as a test app in the live environment. So I 
removed all non-essential apps from the server and found that it is now going 
much faster than it was before.

I would have thought that it was the number of connections to a server and the 
amount of users/usage there of that would have caused a load which would slow 
it down. In my case though there was very little usage in any of the test apps 
but their presence seemed to be slowing things down. Does this sound right?

Re: Basic authentication

[Andoni]

Hello,

The answer to your question is that you cannot serve the User database (now
tomcat-users.xml) from inside a .war file as it cannot be read from in there
but you can change its location to be below your webapps directory. This can
be achieved by changing the path to it which is currently in Server.xml.

You need not use a flat file format though to serve your username/password
combinations just because you are using Basic Authentication. The two are
separate issues:
issue one is:
What type of authentication do I want? Form, Basic, Digest, Client-Cert.
This is a Sun servlet secification issue/list version 2.2 of which can be
found here:
 http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.2/

Issue two is:
Where am I going to store my database of users? Database (JDBC Realm), LDAP
directory (JNDI Realm), Flat File (Memory Realm), etc.
This is a Tomcat container specific issue/list which can be found here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/realm-howto.html

Hope this all helps,

Speed of jsp:useBean tags.

[Andoni]

Hello,

I have an application which is just a front-end for a main-frame. The process 
on the mainframe which my application calls takes 8 seconds to complete so I am 
trying to make my Java application as fast as possible so that there is as 
little time as possible wasted.

Can anybody give any tips or sites for speeding up Tomcat/Java/Webapps?

Can anybody tell me if using jsp:useBean tags to pass an entire object to a 
JSP is a slow way of doing things? Am I quicker passing a list of strings using 
various request.setAttribute() methods? Or is this insignificant?

I am really stuck because I don't know how to choose the best way of going 
forward. If I can't significantly improve the speed of the app. I should just 
abandon the project but that is not desirable as you can imagine!

Andoni.

Re: Speed of jsp:useBean tags.

[Andoni]

There are two alternatives with the Mainframe. One is to do a call to a
batch file which searches through a directory tree for the files I want and
then opens them and returns the data from them. This is the one currently in
use live.

The second alternative is the one I am trying to implement and is just going
to the appropriate directory using Java code and replacing the
Runtime.exec() call which was calling the batch file. I thought that this
would significantly improve performance but my initial tests don't agree
(though there is an improvement). Now I am not sure whether to spend more
time programming this solution for the few seconds it gains or to put it on
hold.

Is there a way to tune the JVM's File Access methods maybe?

I will also try JMeter as I have never used this before.

Andoni.

Hi,
First, please don't blindly tune anything.  Change one parameter at a
time, and measure the impact using a program like JMeter, Grinder, ab,
wget, or whatever load tester you like.  For example, chances are the
minProcessors/maxProcessors advice in the other response to your message
is irrelevant, and by increasing those you'll just be taking away CPU
resources from the code that needs those resources.

I have an application which is just a front-end for a main-frame. The
process on the mainframe which my application calls takes 8 seconds to
complete so I am trying to make my Java application as fast as possible
so
that there is as little time as possible wasted.

How much time does your Java app take now?  If it's significantly less
than 8 seconds (say, less than 3 sec) don't bother tuning it, and focus
instead of tuning the mainframe call if at all possible.

Can anybody give any tips or sites for speeding up Tomcat/Java/Webapps?

There are a ton of sites online about Java performance tuning.  But
again, if your app already does its thing in less than 3 seconds and the
mainframe takes 8, you're wasting your time and reducing the
maintainability of your code (most likely) but tuning it further.

Can anybody tell me if using jsp:useBean tags to pass an entire
object to
a JSP is a slow way of doing things? Am I quicker passing a list of
strings
using various request.setAttribute() methods? Or is this insignificant?

Insignificant for the most part.

I am really stuck because I don't know how to choose the best way of
going
forward. If I can't significantly improve the speed of the app. I
should
just abandon the project but that is not desirable as you can imagine!

Are there alternatives to the mainframe call?  Or ways to tune the code
on the mainframe rather than your own?

Re: Virtual host (JSP) in Apache+Tomcat+Mod_jk

Hello,

I know that what I missed for years when trying to get this working was that
Tomcat has to have virtual hosts set up also.

What to do is remove Apache from the equation altogether and get
www.virtual-host-1.com:8080 working on tomcat. This is done by copying the
Host section in server.xml and changing the name of the host from
localhost to www.virtual-host-1.com. Then you can make another copy for the
next host etc.

 is virtual hosts doesnot come up. When accessing www.virtual-host-1.com
 http://www.virtual-host-1.com/  instead Tomcat default page is shown.
 I tried many different configuration with no luck. What could be the
 reason for this?

 I tried changing appBase, docBase, path directives in the server.xml
 file.

 But when I open www.virtual-host-1.com/virtual-host-1/ then it shows the
 website I want to see when accessing www.virtual-host-1.com
 http://www.virtual-host-1.com/  which is in

Upgrading for the sake of it?

[Andoni]

Hello,

My questions here are fairly broad and open to opinion, I have not the
experience to be dealing with these scenarios though so if you could help me
it would be much appreciated. I do not mean to be inflammatory so if it is
please ignore.

Recently there was a post asking why people are still using Tomcat 4 instead
of upgrading to version 5. I have been using Tomcat 4.0.4/Apache 1.3.26 for
years and only recently upgraded Tomcat to 4.1.24. Now I am in a position I
have never had before. I have been given a Windows server to manage and free
reign over what to put onto it.

So is the best advice to go with what I know best (and can be sure my
websites run under) and install old versions. Or to go with the very latest
of everything. If so then is it a good idea to keep updating Tomcat and
Apache (httpd) or should I get one thing working and stick with what works?

The answer to a previous post of mine about Tomcat 4.1.31 told me that is
was a 'maintenance release', if this is the case then should all 4.1.x
administrators have updated to it?

Thanks,

Andoni.

 of all the pieces involved (and there are no guarantees that someone
 won't find a security hole in one of them this afternoon) are never
 going to change then going with what you know is probably the path of
 least resistance.  There are lots of mainframes out there with apps
 written in the 70s and 80s that are chugging along just fine.

 If not, it's easier to make incremental changes with each stable release
 than to upgrade across several major releases. At a minimum, I would try
 installing the latest stable releases and test your apps on them.  If
 your apps are spec compliant, you will probably find that there is very
 little to do, if anything, to get them running on the newer releases.

 Releases come fast in open source projects so you need to figure out
 what kind of an upgrade schedule best suits your business model.  The
 acquisition of a new server sounds like a great opportunity to consider
 upgrading the whole stack, especially if it means having the opportunity
 to run the two in parallel for a while before going live with it.

  Recently there was a post asking why people are still using Tomcat 4
instead
  of upgrading to version 5. I have been using Tomcat 4.0.4/Apache 1.3.26
for
  years and only recently upgraded Tomcat to 4.1.24. Now I am in a
position I
  have never had before. I have been given a Windows server to manage and
free
  reign over what to put onto it.
 
  So is the best advice to go with what I know best (and can be sure my
  websites run under) and install old versions. Or to go with the very
latest
  of everything. If so then is it a good idea to keep updating Tomcat and
  Apache (httpd) or should I get one thing working and stick with what
works?
 
  The answer to a previous post of mine about Tomcat 4.1.31 told me that
is
  was a 'maintenance release', if this is the case then should all 4.1.x
  administrators have updated to it?
 
  Thanks,
 
  Andoni.

Re: Access to j_security_check directly

[Andoni]

Hi,

This is an age-old problem, if you ever find a complete answer let me know.

As for 95% complete answers here goes:

1. Your biggest problem is bookmarks. You need to always load you login page
inside a frame. A single HTML page with a single frame can work fine, that
way they'll bookmark  xxx.com/jsp/index.html instead of
xxx.com/jsp/login.jsp. This will mean that they will still always call the
secure page even if they have book-marked the login screen.

2. The second problem is the back button. You need to use a JSP for your
login screen and use the session.isNew() method to check if the session is
being started by your login screen. If not then you should redirect to your
single-framed page.

3. You can also re-direct with a custom error page from the error you
receive to the single framed page.

4. Search the history of this list and find more suggestions. This question
has come up several times over the years and usually gets some responses. I
am using j_security_check in all my production apps. and with a combination
of measures in place it works fine.  I do suggest that you work out
*Exactly* what is going on before trying to proceed as false assumptions can
have your head spinning :-)


Hope that helps,
Andoni OConchubhair.

Re: Class loading in tomcat 5.0

[Andoni]

I'd hazard a guess that your answer is no. The way in which the JVM loads
classes is documented here:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/2nd-edition/html/ConstantPool.doc.html

good luck reading this!

How about writing 2 (one's a copy) classes CalledClass.java,
CalledClass.java and CallingClass.java to find out?

 Compare the classloader docs for the two versions and see.  It's been a
 while since I've used Tomcat 4, but my guess is that if you stick with
 the standard locations (WEB-INF/lib, common/lib, etc.) then you should
 be fine.

 I'm not sure what this means.  Are you trying to control which jar is

DataSourceRealm vs. Administration Tool - A bug?

[Andoni]

Hello,

I have just installed Tomcat 4.1.24 and I have it nearly exactly the way I want it 
now. I am doing my testing on Windows 2000 and Tomcat 4.1.27.

The only other thing I want to implement is the DataSourceRealm. Here I am having 
problems though as I have the Administration Tool set up and therefore had to have the 
JMX MBeans listeners in server.xml enabled. These would seem to conflict with the 
DataSourceRealm though as when I have both in place I get the error:

java.lang.Exception: ManagedBean is not found with DataSourceRealm

When I remove either one the other works fine so I know the conflict is here.

Is this just something I have to live with? I read the release notes for 4.1.31 and 
they seem to suggest that this is not something that has been fixed in a later 
release. Has it?

My thanks as ever,

Andoni

Re: DataSourceRealm vs. Administration Tool - A bug?

[Andoni]

Hello,

I have fixed my problem by adding the necessary section to
mbeans-descriptors.xml for the DataSourceRealm. I basically coppied the
section for JDBC Realm and changed the values. Zipped it back into
catalina.jar where I got it from.

Surely if this is not fixed in Tocmat 4.1.31 it should be considered as a
fix necessary for 4.1.32 (when does the 4.1.x line end?).

For those who want to use this I have included the XML I used, remember this
has *not* been tested other than to watch it boot and note that there were
no errors and then run both the Admin Tool and use the DataSource.

STOP! Just used the DataSource and cannot login, I have thrown a couple of
hours at it and will have to revert to the old realm :-(

Unfortunately upgrading to version 5.0.28 is not an option for me.

Manager application in TC 4.1

[Andoni]

Hello,

I have just upgraded to Tomcat 4.1 and I have encountered the fact that the manager 
application is now at:

www.mydomain.com:8080/manager/html/

What is the simples way to change this to be at www.mydomain.com:8080/manager ?

I have changed the mappings but that breaks the mappings in the manager app. I know 
the comment in the manager's web.xml file says just to change the class but is that 
right? I think that's just a legacy comment.

Thanks,

Andoni

Re: Manager application in TC 4.1

[Andoni]

Ok, now I have rebooted the server I know it doesn't work!  I did exactly
what it said to do in the comment and this did not work. The same thing
(replacing the class name) *did* work in 4.0.4, which was my last version,
which is why I tried it in the 1st place :-)

Anyway any suggestion as to whether it is possible to change the URL for the
manager application in Tomcat 4.1.24 are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Re: euro sign tomcat 4 - 5

[Andoni]

If the same web-app worked perfectly in Tomcat 4 and now doesn't that would
suggest the problem is with Tomcat, but if you never made the change to
UTF-8 in Tomcat4 then that would suggest the problem is with your webapp!!

Anyway, to change Tomcat to use UTF-8 you have to tell this to the JVM as it
starts. the best way to do this is by editing catalina.bat (window) and
setting CATALINA_OPTS = -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

CATALINA_OPTS is then inserted by the script into the call to the JVM.

Hope that helps.
Andoni.

PS: I have never used Tomcat 5 but I would be surprised if this kind of
thing has changed much.

Fw: Realm for Admin tool?

[Andoni]

Hello,

I have just changed over from Tocmat 4.0.4 to Tomcat 4.1.24 and now I want to get the 
Admin tool working.

The error message I am getting is No Realm has been configured to authenticate 
against but there is no Realm in my Windows version of Admin tool either and it seems 
to work fine!

The manager tool does not work either. I had them working at one stage but then while 
configuring Apache and copying things from the old server I broke it somehow. Can 
somebody please give me a hint as to what change that I made may have broken this?

Thanks,

Andoni.

Re: Howto deploy a new version of my webapp without disturbing the customer?

[Andoni]

This is very interesting. Do you think it would copy over the sessions
correctly?

Surely the think that WO is doing is maintaining all sessions on the old
machine until they are shut down.

My way of doing this is simply to get up at 3:30am and make the changes
then! I am lucky in that 90% of my users are 9-5 office workers.

 Just a guess:

 - Use Apache + mod_jk(2) + 2 tomcat instances

 - Use sticky sessions (look at the jvmRoute of
   the engine tag)

 - Use the load factor to distribute 100% of the requests
   to the first instance.

 - Update the second instance.

 - Change the load factor to distribute 100% of the requests
   to the second instance.

 - Wait after all session moved to the second instance
   update the first instance and reverse the

  I'm searching for something similar to what WebObjects is

  connections are then redirected to this new application. The existing

  process. When
  the number  of open sessions in this old instance reaches zero, the
  instance is shut down. The customer out in the web does not
  see that a
  new version has been deployed.
 
  Is something simlilar possible using Tomcat?

Yes, unless I'm mistaken, the inclusion of context elements in the .war file

There is no way to upload .war files before this if you are going to serve

 That's what I thought, but it still only deplot the app to /bar.
 I'm using tomcat 4.1.24 so not sure if that version is too old?

 Hi,
 Include in your WAR file a META-INF/context.xml file with a Context
 element like
 Context path=/foo/bar docBase=bar.war /

  Hi tomcat-users,
  
  I'm trying to upload a war file (called bar.war) through the tomcat

  I want the context path to be /foo/bar. However tomcat initialises it
 to
  /bar.
  
  How do I get round this?
  
  Thanks,

FilePermission's in catalina.policy.

[Andoni List]

Hello,

I am trying to run Tomcat with a very strict security cordon around it. So I
am using catalina.policy to shut down everything except exactly what I need.

I am having one problem with a small bit of this at the moment, I am trying
to find get the following to allow files be read from my library by my web
app. When I specify the directories in windows dependant style there is no
problem but when I specify them using the property there is a problem. The
property is set correctly as it is used to specify the code to do the
reading.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Andoni.


grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}${/}- {
// permission java.security.AllPermission;
 permission java.util.PropertyPermission *, read,write;

// The next two lines are what works for the library.
// java.io.FilePermission cannot use ${catalina.home} or other properties.
// permission java.io.FilePermission

Re: FilePermission's in catalina.policy.

[Andoni]

Problem solved.

The file: is only used when defining a codeBase as it can be a URL or a
file.

i.e. this also works:

permission java.io.FilePermission
${catalina.home}${/}webapps${/}extras${/}library${/},read; // Read
listing.

Re: Detecting The Stop Button

[Andoni List]

This is certainly not an easy thing to do, you could try to use JavaScript
to continuously generate requests to the server every 5 seconds until the
results are ready and then they are returned instead of the waiting
screen. Then you would have to tell the servlet to expect requests every 5
(maybe a little more to allow for synchronization issues) seconds and when
it doesn't get one to act on this fact by shutting down the process.

When you see the airline sites where they are validating Visa card numbers
in real time and they simply put up a page which says Please allow up to
60seconds for this process to complete. Do not hit back, stop or refresh
until this process completes you can tell that any kind of detection is
tricky because if it wasn't they'd implement it.

What we have done on our company's site where we poll servers around the
world for delay times we return an intermediary page which in turn calls the
results page. This intermediary page has the Please wait... message on it.
One useful tip I can give you is that when we tried to put an animated GIF
on this page to keep the customer focused, it failed because the page did an
immediate request and the GIF stopped as soon as the request went out. What
does work though is a small flash animation which keeps running even though
another page has been requested.

Anyway that's my 2c worth, hope you can take something from it.

Later,
Andoni.

Subject: Detecting The Stop Button


 Hi,

 I am working on an application that allows users to run database queries
 from a web browser (we are currently using Tomcat 5.0.25). A problem
 arises when a user starts a new query and then decides that they want to
 cancel it by hitting the browser stop button. After a lot of reading
 on this already, I appreciate that it is not possible for Tomcat to be
 notified that this has occurred, since no event is generated by the
 browser that Tomcat can detect. The solution I attempted was to start a
 background pinger thread in Tomcat which periodically writes back to
 the browser as the query is running. The theory was that if the user
 hits the stop button then I would get an IOException since the socket
 connection has been broken. In practice this does not happen, the pinger
 thread continues to write output without any exception or error
 occurring, and it is as if this output is being lost in a black hole
 somewhere! (the browser does not receive any more output after the stop
 button has been pressed, as expected).
 Has anybody got any suggestions as to how I can get this to work, or a
 more general approach to solving the stop button problem?

 Many Thanks!
 Les.

Re: Tomcat Realm-- pasword encryption servlet location in a webApp

[Andoni List]

Encryption:

There is only one way to encrypt passwords if you are not using SSL.  That
is to use Paj's JavaScript module available here:
http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/
Although the Tomcat Realm does have an MD5 flag which you can set to encrypt
the passwords being sent to it this is too late as the passwords have
already been sent in the clear over the internet to your server.  The only
use for this is when you are accessing a server on which the passwords are
stored in MD5 encrypted format and you don't care about the network.
You may also be told that you can use a Digest login instead of a Form login
or Basic Login but again you have a problem: Digest logins are only
available in IE so if you know all your users are definitely only using IE
then go ahead, it will be doing the same job as the JavaScript i.e.
encrypting before sending down the wire.
In order to encrypt the passwords in the first place you can use Java1.4's
java.security.* package or you can use Catalina's
org.apache.catalina.realm.RealmBase which can be used at the command line
thus:

C:\java org.apache.catalina.realm.RealmBase -a MD5 mypassword

or you can use the JavaScript.  If you have the passwords in an Oracle
Database you can also use the Oracle Function DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.MD5()
by writing an oracle Function something like this:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_md5 (plaintext IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
test VARCHAR2(16);
BEGIN
test:=DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.MD5(INPUT_STRING=plaintext);
RETURN test;
END get_md5;
/

Note: using a function like this you can create a view of the passwords
table in your database which would mean that though your passwords appear
hashed to Tomcat, they are actually still visible to you!

The servlet invoker /servlet/*
If you are adding the servlets to your web.xml file then you do not need to
use the servlet invoker anywhere and hence do not need to call it using
/servlet/.
Whether or not you add the servlets to the same package is a programming
decision which has to do with what the servlets do and whether they do the
same thing as the other classes in that package.  This has no bearing on the
administrative decisions of how to keep the server secure.

Hope that all helps.

Andoni.

 2) Whats the best configuration mechanism for my servlets? I think its
 better to add the

security
 flaw when
 I set in my app, the url-pattern begininning with /servlet/* (see below

Back up server.xml,

change all tags to be on a single line.
Indent the file properly.
Remove the examples context.

Then comment the file by looking through the Docs.

IMPORTANT: You need to have each host serving from a different directory on
your system. I would recommend having

tomcat_home/webapps/domain1/path_or_war
tomcat_home/webapps/domain2/path_or_war

Etc.

Do not leave any apps/paths/wars at a higher level than any others.

NotSerializableException - DBCP

[Andoni]

Hello,

I have not been using the shutdown command when restarting Tomcat in Windows but now 
that I have I get exception traces for all my Session beans on shutting down and then 
again for each of two connection objects when starting up.

Is this simply that the DBCP package's PoolableConnection Class does not implement 
Serializable?  If so how can I get it to implement this.  Is there any way to use a 
destroy method to remove the connection pool from the equation before persisting?  
Maybe using a SessionListener?

All my session beans implement Serializable.

Re: Tomcat 4 threads

Hello,

You should not have to worry about when tomcat creates or pools threads.

It will do this in the background in whatever way it does and you should not
have to know about it.

There are rules for keeping servlets thread-safe so that you will not be
affected by the threading of servlets by the container.  You can read about
how to keep your servlets thread-safe in the servlet specification which you
can download from here:

Re: how to add a context to server.xml?

[Andoni]

You don't need to do it at all.  Tomcat will create a default context in
memory if it finds your war file in the right place.

If you do want to specify things about the context you will need to add a
section to server.xml.  If you want to do this I recommend you first remove
all the comments and extra rubbish you are not using in server.xml and then
format the XML properly and then you will see that it is actually quite easy
to understand.

You may have to do some reading though!

Re: Authentication with JAAS / Form Autenthication/ j_security_check

You don't have to instruct the user to do this.  Just have login form as a
hidden form and fill (and submit) it using JavaScript.  You can get the
values from a login form you call whatever you like and then append whatever
you like to the end of each of the username and password.

This does sound rather odd though and you should really be looking at the
bigger picture of your architecture to see why you have this problem in the

 Jose,
 tomcat (and all servlet spec compliant app servers) won't process any
 further parameters other than the two you mention. When you code your
 realm, you code a LoginModule or equivalent which is passed these 2
 parameters.

 This means the only option you have is to instruct the user to place the
 extra parameter on the end of the username, perhaps after an appropriate
 seperator character, so that you can then split your extra parameter
 from the user name in your realm code.

Unable to compile class for JSPerror:

[Andoni]

Hello,

I realise that there are lots of entries about this error message in the log files but 
my experience is different to theirs.

I have a perfectly functioning Tomcat 4.0.4 system working with Apache 1.3.26

I get a stack trace only every now and again from a user trying to access a page.  It 
isn't always the same page and it doesn't always happen when one of these pages is 
accessed.

From archives: 1. I have my JAVA_HOME set correctly. 2. I have a full JDK 1.3.1_08 
installed.

Here's the error I get:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPerror: Can't read: 
TOMCAT_HOME/work/WORK_PATH/jsp/MY_FILE$jsp.java
1 error

When it does this it seems to over-write the already existent .java file in the work 
directory with another as though it had not written one in the first place.

Anybody any ideas?

How to stop the URL comming up?

[Andoni]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to stop my users bookmarking pages in the site.  There is a 
login screen and they shouldn't even really be let bookmark this.  I was given 
someone's card today an then I went to his site:  http://www.xeotrope.net and when I 
find that as I look around the site the url in the URL bar of my browser stays at 
http://www.xeotrope.net and never includes the page name.  This means that all 
bookmarks only bring up the main page.

Is there any way to do this with apache / Tocmat?

Thanks.

Andoni.

Re: How to stop the URL comming up?

[Andoni]

Sorry address of example is http://www.xoetrope.net

They are using a single frame for their front page.  Very handy.

Thanks,

Andoni.

The url you gave us is not working.
Anyway, you can make an inclusion at the top of each page to redirect to
user to the start page (or, if u'r cool enough you can make a filter
:-))

But if you want to see just the main url you have to trick around with
HTML frames
The main page is a frameset
That includes a 0px height frame and the main frame that will contain
all the website.

j_security_check - Bookmarking the login page. A teaser!

[Andoni]

Hello,

I have recently switched my site to using form-based logins.

I found as soon as I started testing that there is a fundamental problem with this 
approach.  When the user get sent via a click to a protected page they get the login 
screen.  The only problem arises when a user bookmarks the login screen.  If they 
bookmark the login screen then use this bookmark to bring it up, when they enter their 
details Tomcat doesn't know where to bring them next and hence gives them an error 
message.

I can use Apache rewriting or aliasing if you think either of these will help solve 
the problem.

Any suggestions?  Surely this problem has been encountered by everyone who has ever 
implemented form-based login, or do they just not?

Thanks,

Andoni

Re: j_security_check - Bookmarking the login page. A teaser!

[Andoni]

Actually one of my first attempts at a solution was this in reverse.  I was
saying if there is a session take them on in to the main menu page.

This does not work either though as if there was no session and they had
only called this page (say from a bookmark) they were still stuck.

The reason your way does not work is given by another response.

Andoni.

 Just a noob firing off into the dark...

 Couldn't you have a small piece of code that checks for the session and if
 they are bringing up the login page directly (ie no session info) then
take
 them to the index.

 I'm going to get this on my site too so I will interested in a solution.

Re: j_security_check - Bookmarking the login page. A teaser!

[Andoni]

Hi,

I have implemented this and on first sight it seems to work perfectly.  Can
you please just confirm my understanding of it though so I am sure I know
what I am doing:

1. The error page part need never really come in to play.
2. A user calls the login page and it basically is using the session's isNew
method to decide whether this is a session just newly created from a
bookmark or a session that was in existence before the login page was
displayed as would be the case with one that had been created in whichever
page had called index.jsp.

Thanks,
Andoni.

 The bookmarking of the login page is a well known issue. However,
 without dumping CMS there seems to be little to do but resort to a few
 hacks ;(

 Our hack pt1:
 Add to the top of the login page a redirect to a sensible entry point
 for the app:
 % if (request.getSession(false).isNew())
 response.sendRedirect(/index.jsp); %

 Our hack pt2:
 Add an error page that catches the 'illegal direct reference to login
 page' (or whatever it is). Use this error page to redirect to a sensible
 entry point to the app.
 eg:
 % Object badUri =
request.getAttribute(javax.servlet.error.request_uri);
 Object errorCode =
 request.getAttribute(javax.servlet.error.status_code);
 if (/j_security_check.equalsIgnoreCase(badUri.toString())
  400.equals(errorCode.toString())) {
 response.sendRedirect(/index.jsp);
 return;
 }
 %

 Pt 2 also catches things like a user sitting on the login page until the
 session times out.

 HTH,

 Jon

Can I find out if there is an active session from my JSP?

Hello,

I have recently moved my web-app to Form-based container managed logins.

I like very much the side effect that this has which is that if you go off to another 
site and come back you are not given the login screen again.

What worries me is people who will bookmark the login screen, I would like to be able 
to check if they have an existing session and if so then forward them to the next .jsp 
(the main menu).  Unfortunately the login screen is a .jsp so it automatically creates 
a new session if there is not already one in existence.  Is there any way to stop it 
doing this?

What I want is to be able to turn them off to start, or at least not create

need them.

See if this bit of code helps explain what I mean:

This does not wok as the off-switch in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] part is permanent.

on its own in the form tag thus:

 Wow, this is kind of cool.  And I couldn't explain it!

 If I uncomment the following header logging in my server.xml, all of
 'arcims-related' application does not work anymore.  And it seems that the
 request wasn't even sent to 'arcims' server.

 Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.RequestDumperValve/

 Unfortunately, arcims uses a propriety servlet.  So I have no idea what's
 inside
 of that class.

 All other application worked with logging.

Howdy,
It's good practice to make beans that you put in a session Serializable.
Tomcat indeed serializes sessions by default, and if you put a
non-Serializable bean in the session you'll get a runtime exception.

However, tomcat doesn't due this to free memory under load as much as it
does it to persist sessions across server restarts.

idea to
ensure that any objects placed inside a session implement the
java.io.Serializable interface so that the object may be written to a
stream. In a similar manner, applications that execute inside a
distributed
environment may have their entire sessions and session attributes
passivated and reactivated on a different machine.  If our application
is
marked as distributable then it is important that any session
attributes
are Serializable to support this.

Serialized Java Beans.

[Andoni]

Hello,

I recently read that if a JavaBean implements Serializable the servlet engine can 
write it to disk if it is not being used and if it's algorithm decides this would be a 
good idea.

Can anybody tell me if Tomcat does this?  Should I be sure to always implement 
Serializable in JavaBeans that I am storing in session?

The actual quote from the book is:

Occasionally some servers may choose to write these attributes to disk to free memory. 
 To take advantage of this functionality, it is a good idea to ensure that any objects 
placed inside a session implement the java.io.Serializable interface so that the 
object may be written to a stream. In a similar manner, applications that execute 
inside a distributed environment may have their entire sessions and session attributes 
passivated and reactivated on a different machine.  If our application is marked as 
distributable then it is important that any session attributes are Serializable to 
support this.

Re: JDBC Realm

[Andoni]

Can you please explain this a little better.

You have in your database a list of all your user's passwords encrypted
using MD5.  Do you also have a clear text copy of them?  Then you want to
encrypt this clear text copy for use in your configuration files?

If you don't already have a cleartext copy of the passwords you are going to
have to get your users to submit them as your MD5 version is useless.  You
could amend your application to read the password, store it in the clear,
then compare it using MD5.  Then as they all log in they will have given you
a copy of their password.

Andoni.

 I have a JDBC Realm configured against a sybase database and it works
fine.
 See below I have changed the details for obvious security reasons.

Realm  className=org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm
 debug=99
  driverName=com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver
  connectionURL=jdbc:sybase:Tds:foo.au.bar.com:666/foo_bar
  connectionName=foobar connectionPassword=foobar
  userTable=User userNameCol=userName userCredCol=password
  userRoleTable=UserRole roleNameCol=roleName
digest=MD5/

 I also have the user passwords encrypted using MD5 and this works fine.
 However we have a need to have all clear text passwords encrypted in
 configuration files. I need this realm to work with the connectionPassword
 value foobar encrypted. Does anyone know if this has been done and is
there
 a patch of some sort available?

Bug: RequestDumperValve - Tomcat 4.0.4 - UTF-8

[Andoni]

Hello,

I have recently started using the RequestDumperValve with my Tomcat 4.0.4 for windows.
Now when I go to write applications that accept foreign character sets in UTF-8 I find 
that they come out as rubbish because they have been translated into ISO-8859-1.  When 
I add a URLDecoder.decode(); statement in my servlet where the request.getParameter() 
comes in all works fine again.  Unfortunately if I don't remove the URLDecoder when 
putting the application Live (my live site has no dumper valve) I get a string of 
question marks for the foreign characters.

So: The RequestDumperValve in Tomcat 4.0.4 is translating the characters received into 
ISO-8859-1.  Now what I need is the source code for the valve to fix this problem but 
I can't find the source code on the jakarta.apache.org site any more, can someone help 
me?

Thanks,

Andoni.

 Hi,
 I have a problem regarding my servlet.
 The JSP file calling the servlet is having the following code:
 HTML
  HEAD
   TITLE Page format /TITLE
   META NAME=Generator CONTENT=EditPlus
   META NAME=Author CONTENT=
   META NAME=Keywords CONTENT=
   META NAME=Description CONTENT=
  /HEAD

  BODY
   %@ page import=java.sql.* %
   jsp:useBean id=dbBean scope=session class=com.scheduler.DBUpdate
/
   !--In the above statement the bean tag made an object of the class and
 called the constructor too.--
   Welcome! The available page formats are:
   br
   table border=1
trtdbPage format/b/td/tr
 %
  ResultSet testRS;
  String query = Select * from lookup_page_format; //On giving a ;
 after the query did not return any record.
  dbBean.process(query);
  try
   {
testRS = dbBean.getResultSet();
while(testRS.next())
 {
  out.print(trtd + testRS.getString(2) + /td/tr);
  System.out.println(testRS.getString(2));
 }
   }
  catch (SQLException e)
   {
out.print(SQLException : + e);
   }
 %
   /table
   Please add a new page format of your choice:
   form action=servlet/com.scheduler.addDataServlet method=GET
input type=text name=newPageFormat
input type=Submit name=submitButton value=Submit
   /form
  /BODY
 /HTML

 The bean as well as the servlet packages is in the same folder as:
 C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat
 4.1\webapps\Tracking_system\WEB-INF\classes\com\scheduler

 If I change the method in servlet from doGet to doPost and make the
 corresponding change in form method to POST then the JSP throws an error
 of something related to my bean package.

 Is the problem related to GET/POST? or to the fact that both the packages
 are in the same folder?

 Regards,
 Anunay Ashish.

Printing with page breaks.

[Andoni]

Hello,

I want my users to be able to print out a list of messages they receive with a single 
click on a print button.

Incorporating the messages into a single JSP is no problem but then when they print 
this there are no page breaks.

I have looked at the IETF's site at: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt where the 
RFC's all are text documents with Form Feed characters in them which produce page 
breaks.  I can replicate this functionality but unfortunately these page breaks don't 
work in IE.  It still prints these characters out as an unknown special character.

Can anybody tell me if they have seen a page anywhere on the web that prints on 
separate pages.  You can test if it does by choosing Print Preview from the file menu, 
you don't have to waist paper ;-)

My thanks for any help, even if it is just to confirm that this is not possible.

Regards,
Andoni.
