Re: java.awt.headless=true in tomcat startup
You set this somewhere in either the tomcat-home/bin/catalina.sh or tomcat-home/bin/startup.sh. If you don't want to do any of that, have an InitServlet that does System.setProperty( java.awt.headless, true ); That will do the same thing.

Hello. I was using Tomcat 4 and I had my foo.xml file in $catalina_home/webapps/foo.xml. This pointed Tomcat to a different directory where the application resided.

image redirect

re-deploy a webapp with new .properties files
Hello again. I push myapp.war file to my staging server. Then I use the deploy function in the manager app. http://server/manager/deploy?war=jar:file:/wars/myapp/1.3/myapp.war!/update=true Most of the app gets reloaded, which is great. But some things do not. Like anything in the /WEB-INF/classes/ directory. Not sure yet about the /WEB-INF/lib/ directory. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a different command? After I deploy I tried reloading. Same result. Seems like the only way to get Tomcat to reload things like .properties files is to restart it.

JAAS setup
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, so if someone can point me to a JAAS mailing list that would be great. If I put a jaas.config in my WEB-INF/classes/ directory, I have to have something that does System.setProperty( java.security.auth.login.config, jaasFile ); That's just fine, except that each webapp has their own jaas.config file. So the last webapp that loads wins and its jaas.config file is the one that the whole system uses. What we have now is one instance of the jaas.config file in jre/lib/ext/. It is not the easiest thing in the world to get our production servers to change things like the jass.config file, so it would be nicer if each webapp could carry their own. But alas, it seems like the only way to tell java where to find the jaas.config file is with a system property. So, does anyone know another way to let java know where it is besides the system property? Does anyone know where would be a good place to look? Thanks a lot.

Re: Tomcat configuration tuning
Sorry, I was a little off in that last e-mail. The example on javaworld.com has you extending LoginContext to SessionLoginContext. It extends LoginContext and implements HttpSessionBindingListner. This is done so that when the session is over, the logout method is called from valueUnbound(). RDBMSLoginModule is the other class from the example and it implements LoginModule. This is the jaas class that you configure in your jaas.config file. None of this really has anything to do with Tomcat configuration tuning, sorry for going off on a tangent. Charlie Charles N.

The filter authenticates the desktop user and then populates the request.getRemoteUser. I suppose I could do this once with a login servlet and then populate a session user object and if that ever expires redirect back to the login servlet. Does anyone have an opinion on whether it would be worth my time removing the filter per request in favour of a once-only login action.

A template language like Velocity can do that for you since they are not compiled servlets. You can load templates from a Webapp, filesystem, URL or database. Its worth looking at.

access to apache httpd process from tomcat or jk
Hello. A website that we are converting from embedded perl to java writes specific data to the Apache::Notes table. I just found out what Notes is yesterday, so it is all pretty new for me. Since embedded perl runs inside the httpd process it has access to this little bit of memory that gets read with each request. Tomcat does not run inside the httpd process. That much is obvious. But I would still like to write to this Notes table. Is there some way to gain access to the httpd process from Tomcat? Could I do it through mod_jk somehow? Does anyone even know what I'm talking about? This is quite confusing to me so I'm taking a shot in the dark here to see if anyone else has tried something similar. Any tips or pointers to some books or websites is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot. Charlie - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: access to apache httpd process from tomcat or jk
Darn. Thanks for the link, but using a database so far isn't an option. When you write to the Apache::Notes table you can then specify additional logging parameters for the access.log that will be read out of the little bit of memory that Notes actually is. The company we are doing the work for has a very complex reporting tool that is based solely on the access.log files on all their machines. No databases at all. Pretty aggravating. I am tasked with researching this, so my research answer might have to be no. Thanks again. Charlie Tim Funk wrote: No that won't work.

classloader order
Hello. I have questions about the order in which jars are loaded into the classloader. I have read http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader-howto.html many times over and I am still confused. The Overview relates parent and children classloaders to each other. It then says that the Java 2 way is to put the Bootstrap classloader first. It then states that Tomcat does it a little bit differently, the details of which are stated below. In the Class Loader Definitions section it says that the /WEB-INF/classes/ comes first, with /WEB-INF/lib/ second. This is all exactly as I would like to see it. But... I don't seem to have classes loaded in that order. The Bootstrap classloader takes precedence over all the others. The systems group here added some of the jakarta commons jars to the Bootstrap classloader, and now I cannot override them with newer versions. As in, commons-beanutils-1.3.jar is in the Bootstrap loader and I want to use commons-beanutils-1.6.1.jar. So I place beanutils-1.6.1 in my /WEB-INF/lib/... and nothing. The Bootstrap classloader wins every time. Is there something I am doing wrong? (Besides having jars in my Bootstrap loader?) What can I do to make sure that whatever I have in my /WEB-INF/lib/ directory takes precedence? Thanks for the help.

Re: classloader order
Yoav, Thank you so much for confirming what I had basically already figured out. I think, originally, we had other things running on our Tomcat machines (web-service processes) and it made it easier to develop apps with those jars included. I am currently asking them to move all of these jars to /tomcat/common/lib/ or /tomcat/shared/lib/. That way, if I want to use those jars, I can. But if I want to override them, I can. :) It's either that or remove them altogether from the machine and make each webapp carry around all jars - which really isn't so terrible. Thanks again.

jar versions
I have one little thing that sometimes drives me crazy about most products that I download off of the internet - jar versions. There aren't any. Its not just Tomcat, its Sun. How come the j2ee.jar never has a version? Does that bother anyone else? This never really bothered me that much before, because I was still a beginner and which version I was using never really came into play. But now that I try to keep up on the latest versions of freely available classes the version numbers matter. And, with the advent of Maven, it becomes slightly annoying to change my project.xml file because the jar does not have a version, or to rename my jars and add in a number. Recently I had issues with my classloader because there were jars in there that I could not override. What made it really difficult was finding out which version was used. But the /tomcat/common/lib/ directory does the same thing. Not one of the jars has a version number. Can this be changed? Can a 1.3 or 0.4 be added to the end of each of the jars so that everyone can know which version their system is loading? Just my $0.02. I am trying to get everyone at my company to make sure everything is numbered, so I thought I'd throw my opinion around at everyone else. :) Big fan of the product, thanks for all the years of great work.

Depends upon which connector you are using.

RE: log4j in tomcat
I think I know what the problem is. To add log4j to Tomcat you added an extra parameter to either startup.bat or catalina.bat right? (I can't remember which one.) So when you start Tomcat from the start menu it reads the change you made in the file. Thing is, when Tomcat starts as a service it DOES NOT read that change that you made. Doh! Here's why. The installer creates the service like any other service gets made - with the command prompt. That's what the tomcat.exe file is for in your /bin directory. It does not run Tomcat, it installs it as a service. But, it installs with the same set of parameters as in the original (catalina|startup).bat file. So what has to be done is that you must remove the Tomcat service and re-install it all from the command prompt. And here is a link to a web page made by some really nice people that know more about it than me. http://www.alexandriasc.com/software/JavaService/index.html They have made a seperate file called JavaService.exe to run the command against instead of Tomcat.exe. The documentation page on that site explains how to install everything and all the parameters you can set. The only thing not explained is how to remove the Tomcat Service. Tomcat.exe -uninstall Service Name (Enter the exact name, with spaces, that you see in the services menu. The command you enter will look something like this - take note of the log4j part: %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\tomcat.exe -install Apache Tomcat %JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll -Dlog4j.configuration=/WEB-INF/conf/log4j.properties -Djava.class.path=%CATALINA_START% -Dcatalina.home=%CATALINA_HOME% -Xrs -start org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap -params start -stop org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap -params stop -out %CATALINA_HOME%\logs\stderr.log Yeah, long.

RE: virtual directory
I am pretty sure that would be what the Tomcat world calls a mapping. In IIS you would setup say, /images to actually be a virtual directory that points to some image server. In tomcat you do mappings in the web.xml file. Say you have a servlet at: tomcat_path/webapps/app/WEB-INF/classes/com/mycompany/myservlet.class In WEB-INF/web.xml you do mappings to that servlet because the defined way of accessing that servlet looks lousy. http://mycompany.com/app/servlet/com/mycompany/myservlet So, in your web.xml you will have: servlet servlet-namemyservlet/servlet-name servlet-classcom.mycompany.myservlet/servlet-class /servlet servlet-mapping servlet-namemyservlet/servlet-name url-pattern/specialfiles/*/url-pattern /servlet-mapping OR: servlet-mapping servlet-namemyservlet/servlet-name url-pattern/*.txt/url-pattern /servlet-mapping OR: servlet-mapping servlet-namemyservlet/servlet-name url-pattern/specificfolder/specificfile.html/url-pattern /servlet-mapping In this way you can map any url path to a particular class.

RE: Tomcat mod_webapp: somtimes browser doesn't receibe images from apache
So far it seems to be a good connector. Just as good as mod_webapp. No real difference in speed. I just like using apache as much as possible. You just have to configure your mappings differently. Instead of: warp conn /myapp/ You have: JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 So you only map jsp files to be forwarded to Tomcat instead of everything. It is a different way of doing things. But they have the same effect and probably the same performance (although I have not tested). So its up to you.

RE: Directory Index
This is actually a bit tricky and took some research into Apache. Since the jsp files must be within Tomcat and cannot be under an apache directory, you have to find another way of mapping / to a file. So, this is the way: ## MOD_JK LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so JkWorkersFile /apache/conf/workers.properties JkLogFile /apache/logs/mod_jk.log JkLogLevel debug AddModule mod_jk.c VirtualHost *:80 ServerName myserver.com DocumentRoot /apache/html/myserver ErrorLog /apache/logs/myserver_error CustomLog /apache/logs/myserver_custom myserver IfModule mod_dir.c DirectoryIndex index.jsp index.html /IfModule IfModule mod_alias.c RedirectMatch ((/.*|)/)$ $1index.jsp /IfModule Directory / Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory # Include File for Tomcat mod_jk JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 JkMount /*.do ajp13 /VirtualHost The mod_dir.c is what you normally have. Map index.jsp as the index. I don't even think this section is necessary because of what mod_alias.c does. The mod_alias.c tells apache to change any request that ends in / into a requst for /index.jsp. Then mod_jk sees the request for *.jsp and points it to Tomcat. Yes. Weird. I just figured this out about two weeks ago. And it works really well. When you click on http://myserver.com/ you will see the url change into http://myserver.com/index.jsp and then find Tomcat. Give it a try and see if it works.

The solution could be specific to Tomcat, because I am sure that my

RE: [offtopic] IDE for Tomcat?
IBM has a new editor called Eclipse. I haven't used it yet but a coworker has. It has a stop and start button for tomcat in it. And when you start a new project it asks you if you want to start a new Project or Tomcat Project. And when you choose the tomcat option it makes an entry in the server.xml for your webapp. Pretty nifty stuff actually. I am a big netbeans fan but this may be a bit better.

One issue to be aware of: when you restart tomcat, but not the web server, the persistent ajp13 connections that are initiated are not reset, and the next N users (where N is the number of pre-setup connections, as per the worker.NAME.cachesize= mod_jk property. The number may be higher due to system activity.) will get 500 errors. A second issue is that even though you have virtual hosts, there is still one central mod_jk properties file where you define the workers. This prevents easy automation of adding and deleting virtual servers via scripts, compared to the old mod_jserv which allowed you to define everything inside the virtual server.

RE: how to run multiple instances of a single application on a single tomcat.
I think you can do this with different properties files. One instance of the application has a .properties file that contains the ip address and database name of dbX. And in the second instance of your application the .properties file contains the ip address and database name of dbY. I have a slightly similar situation where the same application goes through staging to production. In staging the properties file connects to staging-db. When I push that file live I have a script that changes the ip address called to that of live-db. So I think the same principal should work for two instances of the same application. Give it a shot.

Session Tracking throughout apps
Hello list. I'm not sure if this is a tomcat question or a java (servlet) question so try not to get too angry if this is on the wrong board. I am setting up my environment to use a controller servlet that brokers all the requests that come in for the site. About 80% of my site are pages that will be served up this way, through the controller. But the other 20% are seperate applications - message boards, photo uploads, contests with registration. What I am slightly confused about is, should the requests for these apps also go through the controller servlet? And if so I don't know how yet - but I will find out. If not (which is my current level of knowledge) then each one gets its own mapping in server.xml and its own directory structure. If this is the case, how do I maintain session across the rest of the site and these side apps? I am pretty new to java hence my confusion. Can I just pass the session object from one to the other? Is there something special I have to implement? Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if this post is in the wrong place just say so and I will find the appropriate java list to post to. Thanks.

I am going to run an entire site in java (jsp or velocity) and I currently have apache 1.3.* connected to tomcat 4.0.1 with the warp connector. Works great. Great concept. But... Do I really need Apache? I am not going to have any html. All the pages on the site will be java. Is tomcat a good enough server to take a heavily traficked site? I would say that Apache would handle the images, but we use a 3rd party (mirror image) for that. So should I use Apache or not? Thanks in advance.

Alternate webapps dir not seen by apache
Hello. I have tomcat at C:\tomcat and apache at C:\apache. I have the warp module in place and everything is working just peachy for me in my little test environment (my desktop). I realized that I do not want all my webapps in the C:\tomcat\webapps directory because if I install a new version of tomcat it will be easier to have all my apps in one central place (not ususual thoughts). I moved my webapps to C:\website. So I have the example and manager and even the forumdemo app from Velocity. I changed server.xml to see the new directory as the base for both Standalone and Apache. I go to http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/index.html and its all good. The little text change that I made at the top of the page is present. But when I go to http://localhost/examples/jsp/index.html it is still seeing the original one in the C:\tomcat\webapps directory. Do I just need to restart a few times? Is there a different way to configure the httpd.conf? WebAppConnectionwarpConnection warplocalhost:8008 WebAppDeployexampleswarpConnection /examples/ and server.xml has: !-- Define the default virtual host -- Host name=localhost debug=0 appBase=C:\website unpackWARs=true How come Tomcat can see it and not Apache? I will keep hacking away at it. I was just wondering if anyone else had run into this problem. Thanks.

But it definately put me on the right path. Here is how it went down... I have just figured it out. Very odd. I had to keep my work directory open whilst I was stopping and starting services. When tomcat starts up it creats a localhost directory inside the work directory. This is because of the first engine which has: name=localhost Bear with me, this took me quite a few tries to figure out. A few seconds later a second directory was created, called apache because the engine under the warp connector has: name=apache But... when I would access my computer, I was not using http://localhost. I was using http://charlieh, the way other users in the office would do it. And I noticed that once I accessed the site, a charlieh directory was created in the work directory. So I changed the second engine name to be charlieh and then everything worked the way it was supposed to. Now I just need to be mindful of that once I start moving this environment into production (which will be linux so a whole new set of challenges). Especially if I create a few virtual hosts in Apache. Thanks so much for the help. And people say they don't like open source because there is no support. :) Charlie -Original Message- From: Charles N.
