RE: Why does tomcat redirect to welcome files
Thanks Mark, found some good info. Another question: Is is possible to force a forwards for welcome pages with Tomcat. Is there an engine setting for that? Or would I be forced to change the Tomcat source. I notice with other web servers (i.e. IIS) I can specify a default page which returns HTTP 200 code instead of redirect codes.

Why does tomcat redirect to welcome files
I have setup Tomcat to use index.html as the only welcome file. I noticed that the engine redirects to index.html. I'm wondering why that is the case. I would prefer Status: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Not: Status: HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily As the server response. The are very good reasons for this as search engine indexers don't like 302's. I confirmed the above using http://www.searchengineworld.com/cgi-bin/servercheck.cgi A nice web tool that checks http header. thanks for any help Jim Kennedy IT Consultant
Using Tomcat's HTTP processor and SSL
I am considering using Tomcat alone as my HTTP server as well as my servlet container with SSL configured. I know a lot of people use Apache HTTP Server instead of Tomcat for this and Tomcat is just the servlet container only. Is there any reason why I should not use just Tomcat alone for this. I'm actually using JBOSS with Tomcat, but Tomcat still handles the HTTP and servlet requests. I have no static pages at all on my site. Seems like a hassle to configure a separate server (Apache HTTP) when I don't have to. Unless there is a good reason (i.e. performance) to do so. I am using v4.1.28 Thanks for any help or suggestions. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Problem with error-page
The suggestion to change 403.jsp to something like _403.jsp did not work. I did however change my browser setting in the advanced section concerning friendly error messages. This did work. I still don't understand why the IE browser distinguishes between an HTML error page and a JSP error page. The browser, it would seem to me, would not be aware of that. Here's the first message again: I am trying to configure a custom error page when users try to access an area of my site that they don't have sufficient rights to access. The book says this to configure this in web.xml: error-page error-code403/error-code location/error/403.jsp/location /error-page This doesn't work for me, but error-page error-code403/error-code location/error/403.html/location /error-page Does work.

How does tomcat redirect from login
I am using form based login, which is working fine for me. I would like to display different login content (on my login form) based on the desired intent of the user. So , if the user wants to go to a certain section of my site that is secure, I would like to capture the redirect page (the url of the secure page) before the user logs in. Knowing that URL will allow me to display specific content for that section. I have searched the session and the request scopes for something that looks like a redirect page. Can't find anything. Not even a cookie. So, how does tomcat store the intended (redirect) page during the login process for form based login. Where is it stored? How can I get it?

Determining remote user and inrole for unprotected pages
I have recently noticed that when you have a site with both protected and unprotected pages that getRemoteUser returns null on the unprotected pages eventhough I have authenticated against a protected page. isUserInRole also does not work. Is there a way I can determine who is logged in when I access an unprotected url? To answer my own Q, I supose I could create an object and store it in the session then access later, but is there another way? Ultimately I would like to present a dynamic menu in which administrators see a different menu than regular joe users. The menu is part of every page in this case. I would simple like to hide admin only sections so regular users don't see them. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Resource Reference and server.xml
One of the main reasons of using resource ref's in code is because you get a level of indirection. I see that level of indirection in the J2EE ref impl from Sun, but I don't see that in Tomcat. How can you specify a datasource (let's say) in the web.xml as a res ref different than the one setup in the server.xml. Is this possible? Here's an example: WEB.XML: resource-ref id=mail1 descriptionThis is used to send email/description res-ref-namemail/bay4/res-ref-name res-typejavax.mail.Session/res-type res-authContainer/res-auth res-sharing-scopeShareable/res-sharing-scope /resource-ref SERVER.XML: Resource name=mail/bay4 auth=Container type=javax.mail.Session/ ResourceParams name=mail/bay4 parameter namemail.smtp.host/name valuesmtp.host.net/value /parameter /ResourceParams --- mail/bay4 has to match everywhere, right? Anyway, this all works just fine for me. But I would like to disconnect the reference I use IN CODE, from the resourceparam used in the server.xml. This way I can change the server.xml without affecting the deployed WAR file. You can do this with SUN's Ref impl for the J2EE. Jim Kennedy IT Consultant -
Location of property files
I would like to know how to configure Tomcat to look for property files (.properties) in a directory other than ...\webapps\myapp\WEB-INF\classes. I've tried put them in the WEB-INF dir and the WEB-INF\lib directory, but I get MissingResourceException. It only seems to find them in the classes dir - which makes sense. But I would like to place them elsewhere under my web application, preferably in the WEB-INF dir. How can I do this? Thanks to all Jim Kennedy IT Consultant
