Re: a 'one-click' j_securty_check question
Suggestion: Search the archive. This is a very frequently asked question. What you want to do is the same as everyone else using FORM-based CMA. The fact is that it doesn't work on a let basis; rather a make basis. One hint I will give you: the container is going to load all of a user's roles when they login. They don't login as a given role (to my understanding anyhow), but simply login -- all associated roles are loaded on successful authentication. Regards, Eddie jfc wrote: Hi, I would like to structure my application so that the user can choose to login instead of being enexpectedly prompted to be logged in. It seems declarative form-based security comes with the philosophy that your URL has to explicilty request a resource which is secured under the role you wish to log in under in order for the container to know you belong to that particular role(i.e. request.getRemoteUser()). So you have to know before hand who you'd like to be logged in as. I could force the user to choose from a list of valid roles before he gets propmted by the j_security_check login form but I'm trying not to have force the user to identify himself to the container twice in order to be thoroughly recognized by the container. My question: Is the following possible under the latest spec and tomcat's implementation (using j2ee, declarative form-based authentication ): 1.user issues a request to manually log in with the custom html login form containing the users username and password; 2.server extracts role-leaf from this user's registration information from a persistent store i.e. the application holds roles in a hierarchy; 3.server does a redirect to a welcome page secured in web.xml under that role-leaf role value; 4.the configured login page has the j_security_check form prepopulated with username and password; 5.the configured login page also has an 'onload' javascript directive which automatically submits j_security_check on loading of the body. I haven't tried this yet but does anyone have any experience of something like this working? If so it would mean that an application would not have to show links whose appropriateness would only become apparent once that link had been followed(clicked) and the user had possibly failed at his attempted login. Sorry if this is not clear enough. jfc (the container needs to first know what role you want to log in under in order for it to successfully authenticate you under that role. It can't determine for itself which role you registered under and attempt to authenticate you under that role instead) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Q] Singleton Objects across webapps...
I don't think web services require EJBs be used :-) I haven't fooled around with them though. From what I recall having read, you can do web services using Tomcat. What I read, and where, I do not recall precisely. The impression I have left upon my mind is that it is possible to do web services under TC. Search, read, and educate yourself about web services. One particular point of interest: Sun has the web services developer pack, and I believe Apache (Jakarta) has a similar project. ... now, if only I could remember where I got that from so I could come up with the name. If you feel you must use EJBs, JBoss is most likely the direction you want to go. If you can do what you want without EJBs, you don't need JBoss. That is my understanding -- I am far from authoritative on anything having to do with EJBs. Regards, Eddie Felipe Schnack wrote: So, if I need webservices and such I should use JBoss?

Re: global.jsa - Struts
Struts is *the* de-facto standard MVC framework. The problem is that there is a slight bit of initial learning curve, and it's hard to see the benefit until *after* you've used it (my opinion). You really should give it a go -- it's tons better than having to implement something analagous yourself. If you're new to Struts, I recommend you go over to http://www.theserverside.com and search for struts book review. That should turn-up Chuck Cavaness' new book chapters (which is available to be ordered now, btw; no, I don't get paid to say that - it's a good introduction - very good). If you want a really good Struts course, read that book. ... don't judge what you haven't used :-) Struts is Good Stuff (tm). Regards, Eddie neal wrote: Good to know. Thanks for your thoughts on Struts. Yeah, I'll check out those taglibs in the Jakarta lirary taglibs.

neal wrote: Micael, You've mentioned Struts a couple of times and I admit I am curious. I did look into Struts but to be honost I wasn't all that impressed by what (I think) I saw. It seemed like it was just offering a lot of lightweight wrappers around the API. Case in point, the Cookie utility class didn't appear to offer any additional functionality over the http.cookie class in the JDK. It's connection pooling was even pretty rudamentary so I went around that. I presume that its XML/XSL, and other such things would also be rundamentary probably too. And actually, did I say a lot? I looked at the API and I didnt think there was a lot there... All those things I'm saying wouldn't be bad per se, except that I don't want to learn a whole new API to do basically what Java already does with it's own standard API (again back to the wrapper thing). Granted the MVC pattern implementation is apparentlly very good but I'm not seeing that as a huge stumbling block to write on my own. They also appear to provide custom tags wrappers around their API so that you can keep your code totally declarative (code based) at the JSP level. Ok, that would be cool ... but again I just don't want to be realying on a non-standard API still for standard functionality. I'll end up forgetting the JDK API in lieu of Struts API. :( One point to note: The JSTL (you can find the RI under the taglibs project) - aka the Java Standard Tag Library - can be used in lieu of some Struts tags. If you're worried about forgetting standards, use this one. It's *the* standard, and should be what people adopt in their JSP pages (where possible). (also, Struts doesn't hide the Java API - you work with the same request/response you would otherwise. There are just additional pieces around to make your life easier.) Regards, Eddie S, this is my initial impression of Struts. I dont know ... what do you think? Am I totally off base with my concerns and/or assessment of the package? If so, please let me know. I am open to being proven wrong here.

Comments in-line. Shapira, Yoav wrote: Hi, Perhaps putting the common code, e.g. the singleton, in /common/lib will work for you? Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics A best practices question: What is the best way of sharing a single, changeable copy of common information across multiple servlets? Example Scenario: Using two servlets (webdav and cocoon), I need to share common information between them. There are two choices for how to host the servlets, each of which affects the options for sharing info: - host the servlets in different contexts (a likely requirement if security constraints differ) - host the servlets in the same context. Then, within each servlet you could share the information through: - singleton classes + pro: conceptually simple + con: singleton pattern isn't bulletproof + con: threading issues? + con: lifecyle issues (can't use servlet destroy() if have multiple servlets) What threading issues would you have that synchronization wouldn't cure? It depends on the nature of your data/how volatile it is. If it's especially volatile, the singleton could (conceivably - you'd have to test to see) become a bottleneck. If most of your access is read-only, I don't see how this is an issue. You have to sit down and take a look at who (and how many whos) can modify the data. How many would (really) do it simultaneously? I'd highly recommend synchronizing your mutators in either case. The fewer people that have the ability to update, the less likely this will ever become a bottleneck. - avalon roles + pro: convenient, correct lifecycle management + pro: using avalon in other apps (James) in same JVM could also share info + con: poolable (e.g. multiple instances) and not the same as singleton Not familiar with them. - context attributes + pro: conceptually simple, no singleton coding necessary + con: HTTP specific, information can't be shared with non TC app (James) + con: can't share across contexts, all servlets must live in same webapp *nod* ... and? - enterprise javabeans + pro: managed + con: requires J2EE server? Ok, so use JBoss instead of TC (I think JBoss actually includes TC). I'm not very familiar with this either. 1) Are there other options I'm missing? How about keeping the data in a database and devising a cache mechanism that will refresh the cash at a user-defined interval? You've just solved your concurrent updates problem, assuming you use a DMBS that thinks ACID is good (ie MySQL would not be my first choice --- PostgreSQL is a good open-source solution). 2) What have people found to be the best pattern? I think that would depend entirely on your given application :-) My general rule of thumb is to introduce no more complexity than I absolutely have to in order to acheive the required functionality. For a small application, the singleton would (most likely) be fine. For a large one, EJBs maybe (I'm totally unfamiliar with them, so I can't say with any authority). I would probably, on a large-scale project requiring a lot of simultaneous updates of cached data, use a database. 3) Besides the servlet 2.3 reference docs and O'Reilly books, can anyone recommend reading material that includes these issues (most introductory books cover the same 'your first webapp' type of material). Not off-hand -- nope. Sorry :-( Thanks in advance for your opinion, Per No problem -- that'll be $9.95, please. Would you like fries with that?

I'm pretty sure you can do this. I haven't made it there yet - I've changed gears back to working on my app. What you're looking for is ... in the TC 3.3 docs, but I don't have the URL handy. I *believe* Apache will handle the encoding/decoding and Tomcat will talk clear-text... which is what you want. I set up all of my http/https stuff in the same file. If someone had two files, it would indicate to me that they are probably running two seperate installations of Apache. I'm not expert on this though, so don't quote me. Last I knew you could just give Apache one config file though. ... just use virtual hosts and specify your port: NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1 VirtualHost 127.0.0.1 # Default port ... /VirtualHost VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:443 # SSL port /VirtualHost You'll need to configure mod_ssl (or whatever you use) to pass the environment variables I believe, and tell mod_jk what those variables are. You will find how to do this in the TC 3.3 docs for mod_jk. My suggestion to you would be to walk the 3.3 tree (act like you were going to download a distro for 3.3 or whatever and then just walk the heirarchy to find the connector stuff) and find a distro with the docs. That should give you a good start. If you're just starting on this, and haven't been able to figure out how to configure TC + Apache (sounds like you have, but just to be safe) you may want to check out ubeans.com/tomcat Come to think of it, that may shed some light on your SSL woes too.

Re: mod_webapp.so
You know, and I realize the devs are kind of busy, I think if they would just incorporate the level of detail and completeness in the more recent docs that existed in the 3.x series of TC, a lot of questions wouldn't have to be asked. I find myself wondering, quite honestly, why the TC 3.x docs explained things so well, and yet the 4.x docs seem quite terse in comparison. You know what would be cool? ... if a link repository were set up that would allow us to submit our own I found this useful sites. It could allow a person to submit a link - and allow other people to rate the link according to how useful they found it. The original poster could add a small amount of commentary about his TC/Apache version, and his implementation. Then, newcomers could discern rather quickly where to go find the information they need - or if it's even available. Questions would change from, Where do I get ... and How do I ... to Has this really not been done yet, or is it just not in the repository yet? Personally, I think that linking 4.x docs to 3.x docs would help a lot. It's anything but obvious you should have to go through the 3.x docs to learn to set up 4.x :-) If, however, they were at least mentioned in the 4.0 docs, and maybe linked to, it would be much more easily understood. Just a thought ;-) Eddie Turner, John wrote: Man, this list needs a FAQ, bad.

Re: Coyote, JK and JK2
My (probably poor) understanding is that Coyote is the newest and best Http connector. It's my understanding this would be your best choice for a stand-alone Tomcat installation, if you're running Tomcat 4.1.x. So far as the *_jk connectors go, I further have the impression that mod_jk is the more solid, robust choice - mod_jk2 has come about to address Apache2, and is (I believe) a new code-base. Probably you want to be using mod_jk. I use mod_jk successfully with Apache 1.3.23. You can find mod_jk.so (or mod_jk.dll) in the Tomcat 3.3 distribution tree. AFAIK these DSOs will fully and correctly support whatever you want to do. That's where I got mine from, and it works fine from what I can tell. You could always build them from source.

Re: deny to access the static context
Assuming Apache handles your static content (ie TC + Apache + mod_jk) that's an Apache configuration question. ... but it's really hard to know what your options are unless you actually tell us what your configuration is (what, precisely, are you using to serve those files?).

Re: deny to access the static context
Ok - a few basics. You want, for each application, the same basic skeleton - I'll use my-app as a generic application name $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/my-app -- AKA - the Root Directory for this application. This is where your HTML, JSP files go -- as well as any other direcories you want. my-app/WEB-INF -- this directory is not accessible to people on the web, but contains important config data about your app. my-app/WEB-INF/classes -- any compiled classes you have - servlets, etc go here. Be sure you have your package structure reflected here. By that, I mean: package com.myapp; would require the following directories to exist: my-app/WEB-INF/classes/com/myapp ... and any classes you have defined in that package would go in that directory (the .class files) If you have any jar files (third-party jars -- or even jars you've made), you'll also want: my-app/WEB-INF/lib -- place your jar files here (recommend creating the directory even if you have none - I heard someone having problems when it wasn't there) Most of your application-centered configuration options can be placed in a file name web.xml (the application deployment descriptor) located under my-app/WEB-INF. If you are not familiar with the format of this file (it's structure is checked against a DTD, so it must match the spec or ... you won't get the behavior you desire), there are many places you can look. Personally, I have a copy of Java Servlet Programming I keep handy - as well as Java Server Pages -- both of which are O'Reilly books. They are quite good. I recommend them to you. You can find a great deal of information on the format of the config files, as well as a wealth of other information, by reading them. For your current problem, I suggest you do the following: In your web.xml file, place the following: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? !DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd; web-app welcome-file-list welcome-fileindex.jsp/welcome-file /welcome-file-list /web-app Either consult the books I mentioned above for additional details, or look on the web. The Tomcat site has some good starter information on it. You might start there. Good Luck, Eddie Serdar BOZDAG wrote: i think i don't. i am new at this tomcat staff could you give more precise information about this index file and by the way i have another question about opening a new port (85 for instance) for another application. what changes will i do in the configuration.

Re: What happened to the mod webapp binaries?
If you're integrating with Apache, you probably want mod_jk anyway. mod_webapp will not let Apache serve static content - mod_jk will.

Re: Tomcat startup script
If you installed from RPMs you should have one already (I believe - I did!). You _will_ have to enable it (the RPM told you this when you installed). To do that you can do one of two things: 1) Use the control panel - Services tool 2) At a command prompt (as root, I believe) type ntsysv The control pannel applet (is that what it's called?) will prompt you for the super-user password if you run it as a non-priviledged user. I often use the control panel for things - it works quite well. Either method should work fine - and your procedure is similar in both: Look for the entry saying tomcat4 and check the box beside it (in ntsysv, I _believe_ you can do this by either hitting space or Enter [aka Return]).

Re: Tomcat 4.0.4 Realm Question
Which connector are you using? Is this TC stand-alone or TC + Apache? IF this is TC + Apache AND the files you're protecting happen to be static content, it's possible Apache is serving them and bypassing your security constraints. If, for example, you're running TC + Apache + mod_jk (my setup), then I can personally guarantee you that this will be the exact behavior with static content :-) LOL I spent several hours trying to set up a security constraint on a FULLY STATIC application (/tomcat-docs) before I stopped and realized that there was no way it COULD protect it!

Re: mod_jk problem
You've successfully stumped me. Don't feel as though it is a great accomplishment though ;-) Every time I feel I nearly have my mind around this stuff, I realize another aspect that I am clueless about. My inference is that people who want to load-balance use mod_jk. Using mod_jk (to me) is indicative of Apache + Tomcat. You want to do standalone. If you're willing to install Apache to get load-balancing going, then check out http://www.ubeans.com/tomcat/. That was my guide to making mod_jk work for me. You should be able to gleen a lot of information out of that. If you're insistent on doing standalone, I wish you the best luck! So far as Tomcat's SSL performance goes - I have done no benchmarks. In fact, I don't use TC for SSL. What I do is use Apache to serve static content and handle SSL translation for me. I haven't messed with the SSL stuff yet at all since I upgraded the OS on my dev box, but that is not far down the road (I wanted to be sure I had the basics before I added bells whistles). Apache (mod_ssl) will do it though - not Tomcat. I did have SSL going just fine on the previous box - it wasn't that bad at all. Apache came to me with mod_ssl installed and there were only minor modifications to make to get it working. I haven't decided yet if redirection works - I've been having some issues this morning that required my attention and haven't really gotten to actually do any dvel work yet today. Hopefully I will get to it after lunch... or during lunch *contemplates ordering in* If it's as easy as I'm lead to believe from looking over the old TC 3.3 stuff it's basically transparent. I don't really see how this could be, but maybe I'm wrong. It would be really nice if we had the quality of documentation for TC 4.* as (apparantly) exists for TC 3.*. I think, were that the case, this list would see a huge reduction in the number of VERY confused people (put me in that group, please) that post. Isn't this fun?! Hopefully my ramblings are of some use to you. If the ubeans site walk-through doesn't cure your ills, let me know. I will eventually (a ways down the road, I think) be doing load-balancing.

Re: mod_jk problem
You peaked my interest. I did some digging. I see no mention of doing load-balancing that does not include Apache.

Re: mod_jk problem SSL question...
To be honest, I skipped compiling Apache - it was there. I saw no need to fix what wasn't broke. However, assuming you compiled in support for dynamic modules, you should (I believe) be able to add that on without a great deal of problem. SSL is something I wouldn't want to have to install myself - every time I've looked at messing with that piece of things I just cringe. If possible, use something pre-existing. Also, there's a neat Apache Toolkit script out there that will, upon your requesting a certain configuration, go download what you don't have, compile it, and pre-configure it. I haven't used it. I just read about it in an article I found via O'Reilly's web site. Look for Apache Wrangler - and a reference to LAMP.

Re: mod_jk problem
If you're using a piece of hardware to manager SSL-decode ... isn't everything Tomcat does clear text? Admittedly, I'm not super-familiar with this sort of thing - but it sure seems to me like it would be. That being the case, you don't really care about Tomcat's SSL performance - but simply about Tomcat's performance. David Mossakowski wrote: Yeah I haven't found any way of doing load balancing without Apache either. My question was hopefull but you only confirmed my earlier findings :(. We're probably going with hardware SSL so I wouldn't need Apache to handle this and that's why I want standalone Tomcats (I was curious about their performance with SSL though). In any case you're right about not a lot of people worrying about this. It seems like load balancing is not very commonly used. Good luck, d.

Re: getRequestURI()
I don't believe that's what I said at all =) What I was was that to the best of my recollection that's how it is supposed to act. Isn't encodeURL what you're supposed to be able to depend on when cookies are disabled? If it doesn't list the parameters/cookies in the url ... then what is it for? =) Ok - here I go digging through the docs *cringe*. Now ... you tell ME what the correct interpretation is: encodeURL public java.lang.String *encodeURL*(java.lang.String url) Encodes the specified URL by including the session ID in it, or, if encoding is not needed, returns the URL unchanged. The implementation of this method includes the logic to determine whether the session ID needs to be encoded in the URL. For example, if the browser supports cookies, or session tracking is turned off, URL encoding is unnecessary. For robust session tracking, all URLs emitted by a servlet should be run through this method. Otherwise, URL rewriting cannot be used with browsers which do not support cookies. *Parameters:* |url| - the url to be encoded.*Returns:* the encoded URL if encoding is needed; the unchanged URL otherwise. That's off of Sun's JDK docs for J2EE 1.3. I think it danged well better have the session in it if cookies are off! I don't know why I was thinking attributes would be there ... the sessionid is really the only piece you need to track things you are persisting.

mod_jk redirection
Hi all. I _finally_ got mod_jk working. Man am I happy. ... now - I'm trying to get redirection up and going. Here are my end-goals. I am in hopes someone can give me some pointers: One server instance Two connection points using mod_jk (one http - one https) The http connector will redirect urls with CONFIDENTIAL security constraints to the https connector The https connector will redirect urls with no CONFIDENTIAL security constraints to the http connector The docs say I must have _exactly_ one engine for each service. Do I, then, need to declare a second service that will use the second connector. How is this going to affect sessions/authentication (container-managed form-based authentication is one thing I want the redirects to handle). I know someone out there has to be doing this! How do you do it? Anything that is sensitive should go over https (which Apache will provide). Anything that isn't will go over http. I'd like to keep the same session over both http/https - or, if someone knows of a way to transfer the session - otherwise it seems this is all futile. It sounds to me, from reading the docs, like I'll have to have two services. Is this right? I think having two services would shoot me in the foot with respect to my session. I really want to use container-managed authentication/security/insert thing server can do here. The more centrally-maintained the better IMHO. Plus, I know you guys are going to continue to improve the state of Tomcat, and everything included in it. Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance! =) Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Connect JSP and Mysql
I have no clue what your problem could be, but I'd strongly advise against doing this sort of operation inside of a JSP page. Do your query inside of a servlet and then pass the result to the JSP page via a request-scoped attribute. Why? Think of all the resources your machine will be wasting when a user visits your page and clicks on the Refresh button repeatedly (yes! they _DO_ do that! My wife is the world's worst - man she's impatient...). You may have just brought your web server to it's knees. Keep the queries in Java, where they belong, and pass them to your JSPs via request- (or session-) scoped attributes. That way, you have a lot better control over your resources, and you don't have to wade through sensless JSP error messages to debug your Java code.

Re: mod_jk problem
Steve, I'd _love_ to help you - I would. I'm running on Linux though - and with a much older version of Apache (1.3.23). So far as the config goes, I'm still quite shaky on it. If all you want to do is set up one server - or even multiple load-balanced servers, it's not that bad I don't think. You might take a look at http://www.ubeans.com/tomcat/. That's what I used as my guide. You can get the dll files (I'm guessing you're on Windows) from the binary distributions. It's not (IMHO) real easy to find the one you want. I'm not certain I have the one I want - but it works. There's also a proportedly useful walkthrough on jboss.org for setting up with the newer Apaches. If you look over that stuff and still have problems, post here again. I'll try and keep an eye on this thread. I know how frustrating this can be.

Ensure that non-secure paths requested over https will redirect to http. From what I understand (and correct me if I am wrong - please!) this should all be possible. I'm not scared to get my hands dirty, but I do not possess a single clue about how to acheive this. My best guess at this point is that I can't do this with mod_jk, but I've seen things that indicate to me that it _can_ be done with mod_jk.

Reasonable Documenation?
Hi - I'm trying to get mod_jk going. I have the connector and all, but, even having looked at the accompanying documentation, I can't seem to determine for certain how I should set up my server.xml file. Could someone be so kind as to fill me in on precisely what is required to be in a person's server.xml in order to use the jk connector? Also - and this may or may not be answered by the previous question - what do I use for the class on the Engine element? Am I required to specify Host elements, or will having my virtual hosts set up in Apache be sufficient for that? What I'm shooting for is as simple of a server.xml file as possible - putting as much of the burden for determining virtual hosts etc on Apache. I need it to do SSL and redirects. I'm of the understanding the jk connector is the best choice in this circumstance. I will have several pieces of static content, so I really want to use Apache to serve that. I had all of this, except redirection, working under the webapp connector - but I'm of the understanding that it won't let Apache do it's job on the static content - it wants to serve that too. The only reason (even though the webapp connector was serving static content) I'm attempting to swap over to the jk connector is because I really need redirection to work and would really like for the container to handle that for me. I believe this is the last hurdle I need to jump before I can hit production. Could someone please help me out here?

Distribution Policy? Where did the RPMs go?
Note: This is a slightly reworded posting from yesterday. I got no response, and really wanted one. I'm reposting because I'm assuming nobody that knew saw it - and that it's so far down in the stack now they will not see it. Hi - just curious if there would be no more RPM distributions past 4.0.3.

Connectors - enableLookups defaults to true?
I have to say I'm very curious why this is. Could someone shed some light? What will be the impact on my applications if I set it to false? ... just that I get an IP Address instead of a name for someone that connects to an application? Is there any impact that I am unaware of? Why is more favorable to have lookups on? I'm guessing there is a common, valid reason I am unaware of - since this defaults to true. Doesn't Apache default this to false? Yes - just checked and it does. Thanks! Eddie
No more RPM distributions?
Hi - just curious if there would be no more RPM distributions past 4.0.3. That's the last version I see one for. I rather like the RPMs myself and would like to see them continue. Did someone accidentally comment out that part of the Ant script? =) Thanks! Eddie
Re: outsiders cannot brows my site in tomcat
Do you have a static IP address? =) Most DSL services give you 'communal' IP addresses. You don't have a 'unique' one for each of your machines - and they change every time you connect. My guess is that this is most likely your problem. To rectify it, check on getting your own IP address/pool through your DSL provider. Another thing too - if you want to be able to access your computer by name - you'll need a domain if you don't have one. Additionally, you will need to ensure that you have the domain set up to point to the correct IP Address. Also, I'm not entirely sure how your LAN is configured - but if all of your machines are sharing one IP Address you'll need to check into configuring your router to direct all http/https traffic to the specific machine that has Tomcat installed on it. *looks around* Did I miss anything guys? I hope that answers your question.

I use DSL and a router to have all of them connected to internet. I have tomcat install in one of the computer as stand alone. I can see the index pages by using name of the computer using http://NameOfComputer:8080 within my LAN. However, if I try to see the same page from a computer outside of my own network, page is not found. It also says server is not found. It seems to me more like a network problem than problem with tomcat. I didn't intergrate apache web server with tomcat. Do I need apache to see the page? Can I use tomcat only?

Re: webapp coredump
I believe you should probably be using one of the http connectors if you're running Tomcat stand-alone. Unless I am mistaken, the mod_webapp connector is for integration with Apache.

Re: Null Pointer Exception - would you please take a look?
I'm not exactly sure what's going on. It happens when I try to visit an area of a site that has a security constraint.

I'm never supplied with a prompt to login. - Original Message - From: John Gregg [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Tomcat Users List' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 17, 2002 5:38 PM Subject: RE: Null Pointer Exception - would you please take a look?

Re: Null Pointer Exception - would you please take a look?
Alas, I do not have code to the JDBCRealm =( I figured that this would be a cut-and-dried problem -- either the JDBCRealm implementation or perhaps my driver behaving poorly. In either case, I figured someone would be able to tell right off my my description, but perhaps I described the circumstance poorly. It happens when I visit a page that has a security constraint. I'm never offered a login dialog. I'm using BASIC authentication - no SSL -- transport-guarantee is NONE. I'm just trying to get the BASIC auth down and then move on to configuring SSL and doing it properly via form-based login.
