You need a postscript view application.

Try ZDNET.com

Hi all,

Sorry for this off-the-topic question. But I desperately need help on this.
How can one read a PostScript file on Windows platform?

J2EE server Datasource - JNDI Resources

[Evan Swanson]

I would like to use connection pooling in my Tomcat web application. I have
read the section about JNDI Resources and is seems like the best way to
implement it.
 
I would like to know:

*   Is this a adequate method of implementing connection pooling in a
standard web app?

*   Is there any reason why I should implement my own connection pooling
rather than using this interface?

If anybody has used this setup with Tomcat 4.0, please let me know how it
worked.
 
Thanks in advance!

proxy server time outs

[Evan Swanson]

I have an application that queries a very large database. 
It takes a long time but there does not seem to be anyway around that.
This all works fine until I use it with a proxy server. 

The proxy server times out because there is such a slow response.

Is there any way to tell the proxy server "Hold on, its comming"?

RE: Where to put .properties so web app finds it

[Evan Swanson]

CATALINA_HOME is set by the Tomcat4.0 as a property.

Subject: Where to put .properties so web app finds it


I've got a .properties file for settings in the web app that might be
configured differently depending on which server the .war might be dropped.

It obviously doesn't belong in the .war itself.  Where is the recommended
place to put such configuration files in Tomcat 4 so that the app will find
it?

I'm trying hard not to modify the default configuration of T4 much until I
know more about it.

RE: Caching of Classes

If you install set up the manager application you can use it to reload the

this question has probably been asked a lot, but i can't seem to find the
answer.

how do i get tomcat to reload the classes without restarting it?my
classes are stored in /WEB-INF/classes and compiled manually by javac.

FormAuthenticator calling directly from my code

[Evan Swanson]

I am would like to use the FormAuthenticator class directly in some of my
code.

I have some unique requirements that are not met by the context based
authentication.

Are there some examples for using this class for authenticating users?

No sense in writing my own right?

Anyway thanks for any help.


Thanks,

RE: Shutdown Tomcat

[Evan Swanson]

Yeah, I have been wondering the same thing.

On unix is seems that you have to kill the process. 
Shutdown.bat and shutdown.sh do not seem to stop the Tomcat process.
I am guessing they just log off all of the sessions 'gracefully' 
You then have to manually kill the process? 

I am not sure if this is a problem with tomcat or it is supposed to be that
way.

It seems to be the same effect when you use the manager application to
shutdown tomcat so I am guessing that it was designed to work that way. 

I have been unable to find any doco on the subject.

Does anybody know a better way of shutting down the server than killing the
process?

Hi,

I don't know how to shutdown Tomcat. I have tried to use the

but it doesn't seem to work. Do I have to edit it or give it any
parameters?

In a servlet 2.3 environment, the default content type is not allowed to
be set on the download.  You must declare it yourself (see below).

Yes.  Yes.

Yes.  You can declare the appropriate content types for your files by
using the  declaration like this in your web.xml file:

  
csv
application/octet-stream
  

The other important issue is what your *browser* thinks a particular file
type should be.  Netscape Navigator is usually pretty good about
respecting the "Content-Type" header sent by the server, while IE tends to
make its own assumptions about the file type, no matter what yo do on the
server side.

RE: properties file

[Evan Swanson]

How do you describe where the properties file is now?

I believe the default directory is the /bin directory.

There is a tomcat property called CATALINA.BASE that is the root directory
of your tomcat4.0 installation( it used to be called TOMCAT.HOME ). 

ie.
String tomcat_home = System.getProperty("tomcat.home", "");
if( tomcat_home.equals(""))
  tomcat_home = System.getProperty("catalina.base", "");

String fileNameFull = tomcat_home + "/" + propFileName;

try{
  FileInputStream propFile=new FileInputStream( fileNameFull );
  Properties p = new Properties(System.getProperties());
.
.
.

On Tomcat 4.0.1 it can't load the properties file

Do I have to tell him in the web.xml where the file is?
Any ideas?

Shouldn't Tomcat keep on running? Or better yet, daemonize itself?

Nix.

RE: File Download - CSV question ****

[Evan Swanson]

I order to reduce the variable, I tried installing TC4.0 on the same 
windows based machine. I am using the same client for both( IE5.0 ).

Results:
TC3.2 will present a popup box for downloading files with .CSV extention.
TC4.0 throws data directly up on the screen.


Is there any reason for this? Can I change the configuration? 

Is this a MIME type problem?

Are you using the same client between the two servers?  IE seems to
consider itself more important than mimetypes, and if it sees a file
extension it recognises it treats it as it deems fit, regardless of the
mimetype.  So one possibility is that you have just installed excel or
something on the client, and IE is redirecting the download there.

another option is that the mimetype being sent in tomcat 4.0 is different
to 3.x, but I'm not sure about this, so will let someone else answer this
option.

if you outline exactly what client/server you were using before, and now,
it will make the question more specific.  for intsance, tc3.2 on windows
with a win98 client with IE4.0 and now using tc4.0 on linux with a win2k
client with IE5.0.

RE: File Download - CSV question ****

[Evan Swanson]

Thanks for answering...

That is the thing, I am using the same client in both situations.

I am using IE5.0 in both situations. The only difference is going from
TC3.2 on windows to TC4.0 on HP Unix. I would think that the IE would be
making the 
decision on how to handle the file by the extension name but it is not.

Is MIME type something you can configure on Tomcat?

File Download - CSV question

[Evan Swanson]

I wrote an application that for Tomcat 3.2 running on window. In the HTML
the is a reference (  ) to the filename. 
When I run this on windows I get a popup "save as" selection box. 
When I run this on Tomcat4.0 on Unix it no longer gives me the selection box
but instead displays the data on the screen.

Is this a difference between TC32 adn TC40 or Unix / Windows.
Is this configurable.


Thanks in advance.
