Install Tomcat without (most of) the JSDK ?
I have seen it implied that Tomcat really only needs tools.jar from the J-SDK to be able to compile JSP's. However, if you try to run the Tomcat installer without having the J-SDK installed, it complains and exits. I've also found that if you just use the .zip install, the Tomcat startup script still looks for the J-SDK. Is it possible somehow to install Tomcat without the J-SDK present and then drop in tools.jar? I am looking for the minimum I need to install on a fresh Windows PC to be able to run Tomcat and my webapps (which have JSP's) (Not counting pre-compiling the JSP's) Thanks, Mike Kellstrand
Silent install of Tomcat on Windows?
I've poked around a bit, but could find any info on this ... The standard Tomcat installer for Windows asks a number of questions during the install. Are there command-line parameters or any other way to invoke the process from a batch file with all the required settings (like install dir, and to install as a service) so it could be an unattended install? The purpose is that I would like to bundle up Tomcat, Java, my webapps, and some other things into a nice installer. I can certainly just invoke the Tomcat installer from the main installer, but it would be nice for the user not to have to answer install questions that could be pre-configured. Thanks, Mike

Why don't you just use the zip archive and unpack it silently into the desired target directory? Thomas OK, that takes care of getting the files where I want them. Cool. How about the window that pops up with a list of options that you can check or uncheck? Most interesting to me is the Install as a service option. Is there a command I can run from the command prompt to install it as a service after I unzip the files into a dir?

Re: Need Help getting SSL to work with HttpsURLConnections
John, I found a solution.

How can I authenticate client apps to a servlet
Hi, I have a client-server application where the server is a Java servlet running in Tomcat and the clients are Java applications. I now want to secure the data transfer and authenticate the clients that connect to the server. I have set up Tomcat for SSL and created a self-signed certificate. I then modified the client code to use an https connection. The client can look at the certificate, but what would I have it check to verify it is authentic? My main question though, what would be the best way to have each client authenticate itself to the servlet? Should I hand out certificates of some sort to each client? If so, how do you create, send, and verify them in Java code? Or should I just use a user/password authentication and check it either at Tomcat or the servlet? Thanks a bunch, Mike Kellstrand
Unusual config for: SSL - Apache - JK2 - Tomcat
Is it possible to have Apache receive HTTPS requests and then use JK2 to forward them on to a Tomcat that deals with the SSL/certificates and services the requests? I want Apache JK2 to be simply a conduit and not try to deal with the SSL. Tomcat will have the certificate, not Apache. This Apache will serve some static content, but when it gets requests for certain contexts (which will require https), I want Apache just to pipe the packets off to a Tomcat at an undisclosed location and not try to authenticate. I know this is unusual, but I have a good reason. Can it be done? Thanks, Mike Kellstrand
How do I config Tomcat to only service requests from localhost?
I'm sure the answer is quite simple, but I haven't been able to find it online yet. I've got Tomcat running on a PC, and I want it to only service requests coming from the same PC (i.e. localhost). If a request come in from the LAN, I want to ignore it. I found references to the inet attribute to the Connector element, but it doesn't work for me. Thanks, Mike

Re: How do I config EMBEDDED Tomcat to only service requests from localhost?
OK, adding a Valve to server.xml worked great for a standalone Tomcat. Now Part II, how do I do this with an embedded Tomcat? I get the impression that embedded doesn't use a server.xml file. Is there a way to make it read a partial one with the element I need, or another way to set up this valve?

FOP code runs standalone, but not in a Servlet
I have Java FOP (XSLT-FO PDF converter) code that runs great from the command line if I put the fop, batik, avalon, and xalan jars in the JAVA_HOME\jre\lib\ext dir. If I put this code in a servlet under Tomcat 4.1.24, I get transform errors. I have tried putting the FOP jars in various Tomcat lib dirs, in webapps with the servlet, etc. Everywhere I move these jars I get different amusing transform exceptions, but it doesn't run. 1) Where do the jars need to go? 2) Are there any parser jars that come with Tomcat that need to get removed. I tried removing the 2 jars that are in /common/endorsed, but that didn't help. This is driving me nuts! Many thanks! Mike
Re: FOP code runs standalone, but not in a Servlet
Thanks for the response.
I put my Tomcat back into a stock state and
copied the fop, batik, avalon, and xalan jars from the FOP package
into my WEB-INF/lib dir.
I restarted Tomcat and got the following when my code ran:
The output format must have a '{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}content-handler'
property!
This java code / xslt combination DOES work outside of Tomcat.
What do you think?
Thanks, Mike

Re: FOP code runs standalone, but not in a Servlet
I tried putting the xalan jar in the endorsed dir and got the following error: null:4:80 fo:flow must contain block-level children I ran into this one before. There is a section in my xslt file as follows: fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body xsl:apply-templates select=coverpage/ /fo:flow If I add a fo:block snippet between the fo:flow tags, the transform runs with no errors, but it never calls the xsl:apply-templates tag to call in the real document contents. This seems like a good clue, that whatever parser it is really calling doesn't understand xsl: tags.
