Re: Tomcat vs. JBoss

What are the main arguments pro/contra using Tomcat/JBoss? Is anybody able to share some production experiences? I have not used JBoss myself but had a look at it's documentation some time ago and if I understand it correctly JBoss is an EJB container and does not include the other features of J2EE that are available with Tomcat. I.e. you need Tomcat and if you want also EJB support you can have that with JBoss. Tomcat does not support EJB's. regards Kaarle To my mind it seems *) if I need EJB - take JBoss disadvantage: more complex *) if I need the reference J2EE engine - take Tomcat advantage: easier to use, less overhead with EJB What do you think? cheers, Johannes - Kaarle Kaila http://www.iki.fi/kaila mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: +358 50 3725844 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Where to store files in a portable app?
At 15:58 29.3.2003 +0100, you wrote: Hi Kaarle, Thx for the input. Unfortunately the development system is Windows and production system is Unix, so absolute paths will never be the same. I would think that you need different settings for production and development. When you have the settings in a properties file (or some xml-file if you like) then you can anyway have the java and jsp-files independent of the environment. Perhaps you have everything packed in a war-file for production. In development you could keep the files unpacked and thus it would be easy to replace the properties file in development. Kaarle Do you have any idea for how to manage properties files which will be different for windows than unix? Should I create a separate web_local and web_remote directory and make a simple ant copy task to distinguish production/development? Or is there a more elegant approach to this? thx alot Johannes Kaarle Kaila [EMAIL PROTECTED] 29.03.2003 15:41 Please respond to Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject Re: Where to store files in a portable app?

Re: Help with Servlets

NamingException in tomcat 4.1.18 LE
hi, I just joined this list but have used tomcat a while now. I used jakarta-tomcat-4.1.10 until now and changed my server to jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18-LE-jdk14 and got it running almost OK. in server.xml I have a Context element like this: Context path= docBase=/var/www/htdocs debug=1 reloadable=true Resource name=jdbc/KalleDB auth=Container type=javax.sql.DataSource description=Kalle database/ ResourceParams name=jdbc/KalleDB parameter namedriverClassName/name valuecom.mysql.jdbc.Driver/value /parameter parameter nameurl/name valuejdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=test/value /parameter /ResourceParams /Context With tomcat-1.1.10 it works OK and in Java code I can use Context initCtx = new InitialContext(); DataSource ds = (DataSource)initCtx.lookup(java:comp/env/jdbc/KalleDB); Connection conn = ds.getConnection(); to get the connection. I can use the code also if I get connection from DriverManager Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=test); With 4.1.18-LE I get the exception below if I use the initCts.lookup What is missing in my 4.1.18 or has something changed here? regards Kaarle -- javax.naming.NamingException: Cannot create resource instance at org.apache.naming.factory.ResourceFactory.getObjectInstance(ResourceFactory.java:189) at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getObjectInstance(NamingManager.java:301) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:834) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:181) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:822) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:181) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:822) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:181) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:822) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:194) at org.apache.naming.SelectorContext.lookup(SelectorContext.java:183) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:347) at fi.iki.kaila.util.SoccerUtil.makeConnection(Unknown Source) - Kaarle Kaila http://www.iki.fi/kaila mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: +358 50 3725844 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
