Is it possible to specify a global 404 error page for all apps under tomcat 4
Good afternoon, I am trying to specify a generic 404 error page for all webapps in tomcat 4. I added the following entry to tomcathome\conf\web.xml: error-page error-code404/error-code location/csa/jsp/Error404.jsp/location /error-page under the default welcome files list and it doesn't work(just the generic tomcat page not found page comes up). csa is a directory under webapps. Is there a way to make this work?? Thanks in advance for any help, JBR breakdancing will never go out of style. Larry Crantz '87
RE: Is it possible to specify a global 404 error page for all app s un der tomcat 4
John, Thanks for the reply. I believe it's in the right order because error-page comes right after the welcome file list in the DTD, plus it works in a web.xml deployed under the webapps directory. Any other suggestions? -Original Message- From: Turner, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 1:44 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Is it possible to specify a global 404 error page for all app s un der tomcat 4 Make sure you follow the DTD.

Cookie userCookie = new Cookie(U_ID, userId); userCookie.setMaxAge(94608); userCookie.setPath(/); httpResp.addCookie(userCookie); After reading the Servlet docs, it seems the behaviour for setting a cookie without first setting it's path is undefinded. I've found that with Tomcat, new Cookies use the current URL of the request instead of the / when a path is not specified. I also believe there may have been a few bugs with previous versions of Tomcat and Cookies which have been resolved with newer versions. Setting the cookie path to / will cause this cookie to be sent back to *all* web applications on your server, not just yours. It is safer to set the cookie path to return just to your web application: userCookie.setPath(request.getContextPath()); Hope this helps, ~Scott Craig
Off topic:cookies nightmare!!!!!!!!
I am John Regan.
Environment:
NT
IE 5.0
Tomcat 4.0
Struts 1.0
When a user requests our index page we write a pagehit sequence # to the
client's cookie through the following code:
//no cookie exits
else {
Cookie pcookie = new Cookie(P,r.getPagehitcode());
pcookie.setMaxAge(60*60*24*365);//1 year
response.addCookie(pcookie);
}
which works fine, I look in my cookies directory and find a file named
jbr@jsp[1].txt(where does it grab this name from?) which contains the
correct value for P.
The user clicks on a link on the homepage, this where things start to go
very wrong. In the action class I loop through cookie values in the
following manner:
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
Cookie cookie;
Cookie schangecookie = null;
if (cookies != null) {
for(int i=0; icookies.length; i++) {
cookie = cookies[i];
servlet.log(cookie + cookie.getName() + +
cookie.getValue());
if (cookie.getName().equals(P)) {
schangecookie = (Cookie)cookie.clone();
schangecookie.setValue(r.getPagehitcode());
response.addCookie(schangecookie);
}
}
The log shows the only cookie in the request is the following:
JSESSIONID A37259C0F90335C6B3B177A1C2679413
The P value which I see in my cookie is not in the request! Not to
mention, I don't where JSESSIONID is stored!
Can someone clue me in to what might be happening?
Any help is much appreciated!
Tomcat Session ID handling??
* I am concerned about how Tomcat identifies whether or not a page hit is part of an old or new session. If you come back the next day and type yesterday's jsessionid= value onto your URL line, will Tomcat be tricked into thinking its the same session? If you bookmark a page so that the jsessionid= value is saved as part of the bookmark, will Tomcat think it's the same old session every time you exercise the bookmark?

When i try a simple command like: http://localhost:8100/manager/list I get 404 page not found. Does anybody have any suggestions? Under the manager folder there is only a web.xml file, is that right?

Split Thread with 2 browsers
Desired functionality: User opens browser, clicks through several pages as a certain user type then opens a second browser because they want to be a different user type. The user should be able to proceed in either browser without session information being overwritten in the other browser's session. Has anyone implemented any similar functionality? Note: using tomcat 4.x as http server and JSP container.

Re: browsing web pages served by Tomcat 3.2.3 using aMACINTOSH ?
I saw something similar before I set up Tomcat to run under apache. Are you accessing the page from a different computer?

Display JSP files in browser?
I would like to display a jsp file in a browser, similar to what Marty Hall does at http://archive.coreservlets.com/JSP-Code/Greetings.jsp Using apache/tomcat. I tried moving the file to the apache html directory, but I still get a 404 error from Tomcat. Obviously, apache will forward all jsp files to tomcat. If the file is not found by Tomcat, I get a 404. If it is registered, then the page executes the jsp code. Either way, the browser doesn't view the jsp code. I thought there was a thread on this last month, but I couldn't turn it up in a search. Thanks.
