Re: Is it possible to specify a global 404 error page for all appsun der tomcat 4

[Mike McGuinness]

Change your location to a directory under the webapp name.

E.g., A web app named myapp is under webapp  ...webapps/myapp

In this example the file to serve should be relative to the myapp dir
not the webapps dir.

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:

/csa/jsp/Error404.jsp
   
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??

Re: session.getMaxInactiveInterval()

[Mike McGuinness]

Chris,

Simple question, are you sure you're using a servlet 2.3 compliant
implementation?

Mike

 On Tue, 2002-05-21 at 11:00, Chris Wilson wrote:

Hello,

I'm calling session.getMaxInactiveInterval() on a session after it has
been invalidated.

Tomcat is throwing an IllegalStateException and saying that method
cannot be called on an invalid session.  However, the Servlet 2.3 API
docs do not state that IllegalStateException should be thrown (as it is
with many other methods in HttpSession) from getMaxInactiveInterval().

The reason I've run into this problem is because I'm trying to write a
HttpSessionAttributeListener that determines if the session is being
explicitly invalidated or if it timed out.

The Servlet 2.3 spec (section 10.7) states,

"It is often useful in tracking sessions to know whether a session
became invalid because the container timed out the session, or because a
web component within the application called the invalidate method. The
destinction may be determined indirectly using listeners and the
HTTPSession API methods."

If I can't call getMaxInactiveInterval() on an invalidated session, how
can I determine if the session was invalidated due to time out?  Is this
a bug in Tomcat?  It seems so since it doesn't follow the API docs for
this call.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

RE: Tomcat 3.3a and mod_jk on AIX 4.3.3 built OK, but not sending requests

[Mike McGuinness]

Jay,

mod_jk does work on AIX. Although I'm on AIX 5.1, I've got apache 1.3
communicating with tomcat 4 just fine.

With help form others in this group, I was finally able to compile the
module. If you like, I can get you my copy of the hacked-for-aix apxs
and the build script. Maybe a re-compile would solve your problem.

What happens if you try to access Apache content, such as

content, or does these requests hang too?

Re: Adding a system property?

[Mike McGuinness]

Rich,

You can edit the start script to set system properties for the JVM.

I set the user.dir system property in my $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh
script.  I just added the parameter  -Duser.dir=${CATALINA_HOME}/conf to
the $CATALINA_OPTS varaable.
 
Then, in the app I can do this:

String userDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");

I don't know if this is the proper way, but it works!

To recap
In build.properties

In build.xml

I've got mod_jk.so to compile on AIX.  I used the tomcat 3.3 src tree. I

AIX Compile mod_webapp

[Mike McGuinness]

Hello all,

Has anyone been able to compile mod_webapp on AIX? 
I'm running tomcat 4.01 on AIX 5.1. 

I've checked the archives and didn't find out if anyone was successful. 
There were some posts, but nothing I could find was conclusive.
Sorry for this post if I missed anything in the archives.

I'm currently running tomcat 3.2.3 stand-alone on AIX and it works fine.
I'd like to change to tomcat 4. 

In either case, tomcat 3 or 4, for the next project, I have to connect 
tomcat
to apache and compile an apache mod.  If compiling mod_webapp is not
possible on AIX, I'll try doing mod_jk for tomcat 3.

Thanks for any help,


Mike

Re: IBM JDK

[Mike McGuinness]

Yes, based on my experience with certain applications the IBM jdk was
faster than sun's. Your mileage may vary.

The other reason is I'm porting my apache/tomcat application to AIX and
wanted to run IBM's jdk there.

Mike

The main reason is I am porting from Linix to AIX

I'v got sun jdk 1.3, running on Red Hat 7.1, with apache 1.3.20, and

I was wondering how or if IBM's jdk/runtime works.

Re: Restarting Tomcat/Apache

[Mike McGuinness]

I use jave just about the exact same configuration and I don't have the
problems you state. I have noticed that if I restart tomcat *without*
restarting apache, there are problems.

To restart I use the following script:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/apache/bin/apachectl stop
sleep 2
/usr/jakarta/dist/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
sleep 2
/usr/jakarta/dist/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
sleep 2
/usr/apache/bin/apachectl start
