JK Connector with IIS
We're are successfully using the JK connector between IIS 6.0 and Tomcat 5.0.28 to forward on requests. We starting to run into some configuration issues that I haven't seen any documentation for. I guess I don't truly know what is possible so I thought I would ask. Is there a way to configure the connector so that www.somewebsite.com can only redirect to a specific tomcat web application and have www.someotherwebsite.com only point to a different tomcat web application all together. It appears that once a web site on IIS is setup with the redirector filter it will pass through to what ever tomcat application is there. So, for example www.somewebsite.com/tomcatapp1 would pass on, but www.somewebsite.com/tomcatapp2 would not. Next, is it possible to setup the connector so www.somewebsite.com would go straight into an application. As an example, I could use www.somewebsite.com and not have to type in www.somewebsite.com/tomcatappcontext. Finally, IIS is where the SSL certificates are located. What I would like to do for some applications is force http traffic to https. In IIS I can shut down http access, but in some instances I don't want to do that and would like to redirect it into it. If I were to use a security-constraint and set the redirect to the secure port on IIS would it redirect to IIS or would it choke?

Re: Java Server Faces
Where I work we've been using JSF for a large project and it has been working well. Although, it can be a bit heavy on the session usage. The official Sun group can be found here. http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=427 Most of the reference implementation developers answer questions there and are usually very quick.

Re: OT: JSTL and JSF book recommendations
Starting out, I suggest the Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages by Marty Hall to gain an understanding of the Java EE web technologies. It's about as good of a book as I've seen on any technical subject matter, particularly for a beginner. I still reference it after several years. For JSF I have both the O'Reilly book and the Core JSF books. I wouldn't say one is particularly better than the other, but both need a working knowledge of underlying technologies to make total sense. I have the first editions of them both though, so they are a bit behind the game on the latest and I believe second editions on each are available. I also suggest going here http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=427 it's the official JSF forum, you'll get lots of information from it. David Boyer wrote: We're using Tomcat 5.5.9, and I'm looking for good books (or other resources) for learning JSTL and JSF. These will be for a person with a novice-level understanding of Java and Tomcat, so I'd like something that will take him from beginner to intermediate (or better). He'll be learning Java at the same time. Any suggestions you have are appreciated. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Connection Pools
Hello, I'm running into an issue when using connection pools in a default context for all applications to share defined in the server.xml in 5.0.28. If for some reason the database needs to be restarted, the connection pool becomes invalid and tomcat needs to be restarted because every attempt afterward throws an error. Is there some way around having to restart tomcat? Some way to reset the pool?

Re: JSP too big to compile?
You are actually limited by Java. I can't recall the actual size off
hand, but a method can only be so big.
From what I remember, it has something to do with server side includes
vs jsp includes. We ended up doing some pretty nasty stuff by
conditionally doing a server side include. I can't really remember much
more than that it was several years ago.

But we seem to be having an error that the generated servlet code is too
big because of service method's try block is too long.
Is there anything I can tweak to allow this to be bigger for the java
compiler, or is this just a limit of Java in general?

Re: Basic load balancing
From what I understand load balancing is done at the router, where clustering is a tomcat setup issue. Joe Faine, Mark wrote: Tomcat 5.0.28 We seem to often have to make minor changes that cause us to have to restart our tomcat server (the whole server, not just a web application) and this has lead me to decide to research load balancing. The idea would be to have two servers that would be exact duplicates. One of the servers would only become available when the other was not running. This way we could make the change on server2 (and restart it) and then bring server1 down and make the change to it as well. This would prevent any real downtime for our users. Where should I look for info on how to implement this type of failover?

Re: Free reporting s/w that works with apache+tomcat
Sorry I'm late to the party. I've been working with jasperreports from sourceforge the last couple of weeks to create reports in PDF.

The trick is to install mod_jk to connect from Apache to Tomcat (and make sure you've got a JK connector enabled in Tomcat). Then you can map part or all of the Tomcat URL space into a virtual directory under Apache. JK is independent of Tomcat's HTTP connector so, if you wish, you can even remove Tomcat's connector on port 8080 once you've done this - the Apache = JK = Tomcat route becomes the only route through which you can access Tomcat. - Peter - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bootclasspath
I'm using Tomcat 5.0.28 on Windows Server 2003 to run some web services that will use CORBA to communicate with a telephone switch. The CORBA code requires it's jar files to be in the the bootclasspath. When I run tomcat as a stand alone using startup.bat I set the -Xbootclasspath option in catalina.bat and everything works fine. On the other hand when tomcat is installed as a service nothing seems to work.
