How to make Tomcat reread user's role from database
My website uses a subscription based service, and we're using WorldPay (similar to PayPal I believe) to handle the credit card billing. I've defined roles for each of the subscription levels: trial trial_expired bronze silver gold The problem is when a trial user registers, they become bronze/silver/gold but until they logout and log back in, Tomcat thinks they're in the old role. Is it possible to make Tomcat reread the user's role from the database? If not, is there a way to log the user out so they'll have to log back in again? I'm curious how others are handling this, it seems like it'd be a common problem. Thanks, Michael - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: How to make Tomcat reread user's role from database
If it works as expected, then (Michael M) what you might consider is on the servlet that 'upgrades' the user from trial to 'not trial' invalidate the session, and redirect to a protected page. This would make the container authenticate the user again, meaning the user would need to login again, but at least they would be kicked out of their old role. I should have given some more details, because it is more complicated than that. My subscription form actually POSTS to the WorldPay server and the user enters their credit card. The WorldPayServer then sends me an HTTP Post to a Struts action with the data saying the transaction was successful, and I update the database to change the user's role from trial to gold for example. Since this database change is done in another thread, I don't have access to invalidate the user's session. Here's what I've done so far: I've customized the page WordPay returns to the user saying the payment is successful. I've added a link back to our site, but the link actually logs them out and redirects them to the homepage. From there they log in again. I will probably make it even more user friend by inserting a page that says they need to login again. This seems to be working.

How can I run tomcat on port 8080 and have the users think it's on port 80?
I'd like to run Tomcat on port 80 but I don't want to run it as root. Is it possible to run it on 8080 yet have the users access it via port 80? My admin has set it up this way but the problem is all relative links in my app show up as :8080. So once the user clicks on a link they see 8080 from then on.

RE: How can I run tomcat on port 8080 and have the users think it's on port 80?
We have this working for incoming requests, the problem we're having is the website uses relative links. Since tomcat is running on port 8080, a relative link has port 8080 in it. Apparently Apache isn't rewriting this before it's sent back to the client, and port 8080 shows up in the client's browser. Is Apache's mod_rewrite supposed to handle this? Perhaps we haven't set it up properly??

You can use the mod_rewrite module in apache to rewrite and redirect URL from port 80 to port 8080. With this module, apache can be used as a proxy that only redirect urls to the right port.

RE: unable to start tomcat
Have you set your $TOMCAT_HOME variable to the path to tomcat? Hi, I am using Tomcat 3.3.1 and when i start i am getting the following message and the tomcat process is not starting up. ## ServerXmlReader: Config=$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml EmbededTomcat: No configuration found. EmbededTomcat: The modules and/or server configuration files are missing. EmbededTomcat: Init time 1685 ## What could be the reason ? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: unable to start tomcat
I assume you're using UNIX, try this: echo $TOMCAT_HOME and tell us what the output is. If you're running windows, try: SET TOMCAT_HOME I haven't used Tomcat 3.x in a long time, but it really looks like the TOMCAT_HOME isn't set or the server.xml file isn't in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf Michael -Original Message- From: Surendra Kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 11:41 AM To: Tomcat Users List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: unable to start tomcat yes i have everything ( server.xml, modules.xml etc ) in place in conf direcory.

RE: instance names problem will pay $2 for solution
When you create the instances (blue, red, etc.) store them in a hashtable.
SomeObject blue = new SomeObject();
ht.put(blue, blue);
then:
public void callUse(String color) {
SomeObject o = ht.get(color);
o.use();
}
If your instances aren't of the same type, then define an Interface (for
example they all have a method called use) and use that instead of
SomeObject.

Using JMX with Tomcat - registering my MBean
I've looked at the same code included in the O'Reilly JMX book but it's not a big help because it doesn't give any examples in a servlet container. I've also looked at the SUN RI but it's the same problem. I have a plain old java object that is in my service layer. My Actions call it and it persists objects. I'm now trying to turn my service into an MBean, but I can't seem to register it with the server. I'm not even sure where this code should go when running in a servlet container. If anyone has an example of how to create, register, use an MBean inside Tomcat I'd be forever grateful. I've searched the mailing list archives and Google and haven't found any examples.

RE: Using JMX with Tomcat - registering my MBean
Howdy, This will give you a start: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/mbeans-descriptor-howto. html Thanks, this page was a great help. I'm stuck on one thing, what is the Group in the mbeans-descriptors.xml file? I have everything else set but I'm still getting: javax.management.ReflectionException: The MBean class could not be loaded by the default loader repository So I'm not sure if it's the group or something else I missed.

RE: Using JMX with Tomcat - registering my MBean
I've narrowed this down to the fact that Tomcat isn't finding my mbeans-descriptor.xml file. I put this in my server.xml file: Listener className=org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener debug=0 descriptors=/com/verideon/siteguard/mbean-descriptors.xml/ But I have no idea where to place the actual mbean-descriptors.xml file. Right now I have it with my Java classes under my WEB-INF/classes directory but Tomcat must be looking for it some place else.
