Multiple Security Providers with Tomcat
I have a customer who likes to introduce chipcards with client certificates for single-sign-on. I need to add support for that in a web-application we provided. The problem is, that not ALL users of the application may have a certificate. So for all not able to present a valid certificate I should offer a login screen to authenticate with username / password (which is basically the current solution) Is there any way of configuring multiple security providers in Tomcat 5.0 and go through them in the authentication process? If this is possible could anybody point me to a configuration exemple? Many thanks for your help. Tom - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Implementing my own Realm based on JDBCRealm
Hi, I like to implement my own Realm based on the JDBCRealm provided by Tomcat. I currently use Tomcat 5.0.19, Eclipse 3M7 is my IDE (together with MyEclipseIDE). To implement my own Realm I like to derive my class from org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm Eclipse throws an error saying that it cannot resolve javax.management.MBeanRegistration. I cannot find this class at all. Searching on java.sun.com showed me, that the package javax.management.* is part of J2EE 1.4. Could anybody tell me, what I need to do to derive something from org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm and what I need to include to get it working in either my IDE and on a production Tomcat server. The result of my compilation is a JAR file which I like to put into tomcat's common/lib directory. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Tom

HTTP instead of FTP downloads with Tomcat

Want to edit LANG setting Hello Tom, Well, how about here: http://www.alexandriasc.com/software/JavaService/source.html Tomcat.exe is simply a program called JavaService: JavaService is a Win32 executable that allows any Java class to be run as an NT service. It uses JNI's invocation API to create a Java Virtual Machine using any JNI compliant Java implementation. Also, the options being referred to have nothing specifically to do with Tomcat at all. They are JVM options...specifically, Sun JVM options for JDK1.3 and JDK1.4. CATALINA_OPTS = -server -Xms8m -Xmx128m 1. -server - use the server VM 2. -Xms8m - Set the initial size of the Java memory allocation pool (that is, the heap) to 8 Mbytes (The default value is 2MB) 3. -Xmx128m - Set the maximum heap size to 128 Mbytes (The default value is 64MB) 4. -Xincgc - Use incremental GC, eliminate occasional garbage-collection pauses during program execution, although 10% hit in overall GC performance The CATALINA_OPTS evironment variable is there as an convenience for you to use when running Tomcat. If you've specified this environment variable, Tomcat, using the scripts to start up, will use these flags when starting itself up. These flags tell the Sun JVM to behave in particular ways that may optimize your application running within the JVM. Does that clear things up?

server.xml - context parameter question
Hi I have a problem in initializing my web application. The application stores all of its configuration parameters in a database table. My application has an initialization servlet which loads beside other things the configuration. Initially this is done in the init method, over time it is periodically done in a separate thread. The problem is, that I need to compose a JDBC connect URL. One of the components of this URL is the name or IP address of the database server. This information cannot be put in the web.xml of the web application since it depends on the runtime environment and cannot be pre-defined at development time. To access the configuration information in the database I need this JDBC connect URL. So I was looking for a possibility to define parameters OUTSIDE my web application. I found a context tag under the host tag in the server.xml file. The TOMCAT documentation says: snip You can configure named values that will be made visible to the web application as servlet context initialization parameters by nesting Parameter elements inside this element. For example, you can create an initialization parameter like this: Context ... ...

Re: server.xml - context parameter question
Abe,
Thanks for the input. It is not that easy since I run TOMCAT on W2K as a
system service. There is a batch file which allows settings of environment
variables. However I think it would be better to set application specific
variables in an application context and environment variables for container
configuration only. But thanks for the input anyway.

Subject: RE: server.xml - context parameter question
Tom,
I haven't done this before but I thought that it might help you out.
Instead of using the server.xml you could try adding your variables as
system properties. I believe you can do this by creating a setenv.sh/bat
file in your bin directory. Here you can set an environmental variable
JAVA_OPTS=-Ddbserer=dbserver.
The catalina scripts should call this setenv script which will set the
JAVA_OPTS env variable. Then your code should be able to get this
property from the System.getProperty(dbserver) line.
Just a thought. Hope it helps,
Abe

So I did the following:

e.hasMoreElements();)
mAppLog.debug(\t+(String)e.nextElement());
where config is the ServletConfig object which is a parameter of the
HttpServlet.init(..) method. I expected to find the name DBServer as a

the web applications web.xml file appear!
Could anybody explain me what I am doing wrong? What happens to context

Re: Where do I edit /etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4.conf in Windows 2000? Want to edit LANG setting
Tony, There is no such file on Windows. Usually you install Tomcat as service on NT/W2K. You have to pass all parameters to the TOMCAT.exe file. Type Tomcat /? and you will get command line help. The whole thing is not so easy and it took me quite a while to figure it out! So I have written a small batch file to install the service and one to remove the service. Here is the code for those who are interested: snip install --- @echo off d: cd \Tomcat4.0\bin tomcat.exe -install Apache Tomcat C:\JavaSoft\jdk1.3.1_01\jre\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll -jvm_option -Djava.class.pat h=D:\Tomcat4.0\bin\bootstrap.jar -jvm_option -Dcatalina.home=d:\tomcat4.0 -j vm_option -Xms128M -jvm_option -Xmx256M -start org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params start -stop org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params stop -out d:\tomcat4.0\logs\service.out -err d:\tomcat4.0\logs\service.err - snip remove service --- @echo off d: cd \Tomcat4.0\bin tomcat -uninstall Apache Tomcat Please note that you have to write tomcat.exe command on ONE SINGLE line! You can also use regedit.exe and edit the keys HKEY_LOKAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Your apache service name. Be careful when modifying the registry using regedit.

Bug in implementation of HttpSessionAttributeListener with Tomcat 4.0.1 ??
Hi, I have a very funny behaviour when using the HttpSessionAttributeListener interface. I have derived a class from HttpSessionAttributeListener and implemented the two methods - public void attributeAdded(HttpSessionBindingEvent se) - public void attributeRemoved(HttpSessionBindingEvent se) Both worked fine until I have disabled cookie support! When cookie support is disabled in a browser TOMCAT usually performs automatically URL rewriting (this assumes that the application also makes use of HttpServletResponse.encodeURL(...) whenever URL's are hardcoded for a tags or form action=. tags. I have done this in my application and was just tesing all my stuff when I noticed that this does not work anymore. OK now back to the HttpSessionAttributeListener implementation. The method attributeAdded() is still called correctly when using URL rewriting. The method attributeRemoved() gets NEVER called when URL rewriting is used (cookies are not allowed in the browser) I am still using Tomcat 4.0.1 and I can reproduce this behaviour anytime. I have not yet upgraded to 4.0.3 yet and therefore cannot say whether it is working there correctly. Does anybody else have the same problem? Could someone give me advice what I have to do? Can I somehow help to track down the problem? Thomas
Re: Question about Catalina.bat
Irene, Please explain the following code in catalina.bat : %_STARTJAVA% %CATALINA_OPTS% -Dcatalina.base=%CATALINA_BASE% -Dcatalina.home=%CATALINA _HOME% org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap %2 %3%9 start for example, -Dcatalina.home=%CATALINA_HOME% My only guess is that %CATALINA_HOME% would be D:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1 in my computer, but what is -Dcatalina.home= and other %CATALINA_xxx% mean? how could I find out? These parameters here are parameters passed to the JVM and define where your JDK or JRE is and where the TOMCAT classes are. On Windows the JVM is an executable called java.exe or javaw.exe. Have a look at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/java.html for the different meanings of these parameters. The variables are all explained at the beginning of the batch file. These are mainly paths and if you just download the distribution you usually have nothing to change. But if you have multiple versions of a JDK's on you machine and you like to use one explicitly it if required that you set the paths correctly. For a production installation it is anyway recommendet to install Tomcat as a service which runs permanently independent of the fact who is logged into the machine.

Re: Help giving Tomcat more memory
Michael, I then start the program with java -Xms145M -Xmx160M test If I understand this correctly, the initial heap size should be 145 megs. However, looking at my processes, there is only about 7200K allocated for the program. Why doesn't it start out at 145? That is the same behaviour I'm seeing on the Win2K machine with Tomcat. It ignores the initial heap size I'm specifying and starts around 16MB, and then dies around 78. Am I misunderstanding how the -Xms and -Xmx flags work? No, but when looking at the task manager you should not look at Mem Usage but at VM Size. (You can select the columns at View | Select Columns...) NT/W2K/XP allocate Memory usually as virtual memory (using LocalAlloc() or GlobalAlloc() API functions in C/C++). The OS decides when it will swap unused data and program code to the page file and give more fast memory to a process. So if you specify -Xmsn and -Xmxn the OS will not immediately take away all memory when the process starts. You just made sort of a reservation. If you look at VMSize you will see, that you got your 145 MB.

TOMCAT 4.0.1 and Cookies / URL Rewriting
Hi, Is it correct, that session tracking with TOMCAT is only possible if Cookies are allowed in the browser. Or is there any configuration possibility to use URL rewriting if a browser has cookies disabled?

RE: TOMCAT 4.0.1 and Cookies / URL Rewriting
Hi Mike, At 28.01.2002 11:05, you wrote: No, that's not exactly correct. Tomcat performs URL rewriting in its default configuration. So sessions are not 'only' possible if cookies are enabled. As a first line of defense, your JSP/servlets should be using the encodeURL or encodeRedirectURL methods to ensure that any user that has cookies disabled can use your application. Ah..., this sems to be the problem. I have proted an older Web Application from JRun to Tomcat 4.0.1. When I turned of cookie support in my browser, a session was created on TOMCAT but my app allways falls back to the logon screen. I'll have a look at the code of my servlets and JSP's. Many thanks!

Re: Binary Dist. tomcat 4.01 Win32 can't find jdk on installation
Michael, It seems very likely that your environment variables exceed the maximum allowed bytes. I am not sure but I think it is 4 or 8 KB. Since changing the environment variables (such as path, classpath etc) requires a reboot for system variables, many software vendors do not properly uninstall software and after a while you have a lot of crap in your path variable. Clean it up manually (in Control Panel, System Icon, Advanced Tab, Environment Variables Button), reboot your box and it is most likely that your JDK is recognised by TOMCAT.

When I try to install jakarta-tomcat-4_0_1.exe on my server I receive this error message: Couldn't find a Java Development Kit installed on this computer. Please download on from http://java.sun.com; This is strange, because there is a jdk installed (how else could JRun be running on the server)? The same happened on my development machine. First I thought, that might be because I have JDK 1.4.0 on my dev machine. But obviously the reason is something else. Can anybody help me? What is the installation procedure's criteria for a jdk?

RE: Sources for Tomcat 4.0.1 Win32 Service
Hello Anton, Name of start class for me is org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService, it also a stop class too. Here is me inst.bat for installing Tomcat as a service: (all at one line) @tomcat.exe -install Tom C:\jdk1.3\jre\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll -jvm_option -Djava.class.path=C:\tomcat.402b2\bin\bootstrap.jar -jvm_option -Dcatalina.home=C:\tomcat.402b2 -start org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params start -stop org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params stop -out C:\tomcat.402b2\logs\service.out -err C:\tomcat.402b2\logs\service.err Many thanks for this info. This works for me too. You still can add -X or -server options but they should be after -jvm_option. I tried to add -X parameters, but somehow tomcat.exe does not accept my input. Am I correct in assuming that -X params are jvm params and therefore need -jvm_option in front? I tried the following (which does not work): tomcat.exe -install Apache Tomcat C:\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_02\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll -jvm_option -Djava.class.path=D:\Tomcat4.0\bin\bootstrap.jar -jvm_option -Dcatalina.home=d:\tomcat4.0 -start org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -jvm_option -Xms128M -jvm_option -Xmx256M -params start -stop org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params stop -out d:\tomcat4.0\logs\service.out -err d:\tomcat4.0\logs\service.err I put everything in a batch file all on one line (very readable!! but Windoof does not recognise \ as a line continue char like a C pre-processor). Do you see whats wrong with my command above? Thanks again! Thomas By the way: I try to subscribe to the dev mailing list to get more information about the sources of this tomcat.exe program! If I get any info I will post it here. -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: web.xml Question
OK, I just wanted to know how this works. My development environment is not the same as an environment in a large company which usually has a lot of restrictions regarding accessing the internet. I have made a simple test and unplugged the network cable of my workstation. TOMCAT still started without a problem. So it seems that the DTD's are somehow embedded in the source code.

Re: How to give tomcat's JVM more heap space ?
In the catalina.bat or catalina.sh set the variable CATALINA_OPTS On Windows I would do: set CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms64M -Xmx256M to set a minimum of 64 MB and a maximum of 256 MB RAM.

Tomcat Win32 Service question
Hi, I run Tomcat 4.0.1 on a Win2000 box as System Service. Is there any way to modify startup parameters? I like to define the memory settings of the VM by setting the following options: -Xms64M -Xmx256M wich will start Tomcat with a minimum of 64 MB and a maximum of 256 MB RAM. When starting from the command line I guess modifying the catalina.bat as follows would do the job: set CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms64M -Xmx256M What do I need to do make this change in the service mode? How is this service implemented? Is this a real service using the JNI API? If so where can I find the source for this? Many thanks for your help!

web.xml Question
Hi everybody, Usually the web.xml file of a web application starts with the following: !DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd; This URL referst to the dtd file on SUN's server. I think most XML parsers like SAX need to read the dtd file to be able to parse the XML file. Questions: What happens if I deploy an application on an Intranet which allows access to the internet only through a proxy server (with username / password authentication)? The dtd cannot be accessed and must be someware on the local disk. I found that TOMCAT has a web.xml in its conf directory. Could anybody explain me, which XML files I need to change and where do I need to put the downloaded web-app_2_3.dtd file? Is the web.xml in the conf directory like a parent to all web.xml files found under webapps\application\WEB-INF? (Something like the defaults for all web apps)? Could anybody help me out of this XML jungle? Many thanks!

JSP Escape character problem - PLEASE HELP
Hi,
I have a problem that could be a bug somewhere inside the JSP compiler. I have ported
an application from JRun 3.0 to TOMCAT. The following code inside a JSP causes an
Exception:
snip
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript1.2 TYPE=text/javascript
!--
if (isMenu)
{
%
if (UserRole.compareTo(Echnaton Administrator) == 0) //
Administrators with full access
out.print(document.write(\SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.2'
SRC='/Echnaton/Scripts/hierArrays_Admin.js'\/SCRIPT\););
else if (UserRole.compareTo(Echnaton Technician) == 0) // Technical
Users
out.print(document.write(\SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.2'
SRC='/Echnaton/Scripts/hierArrays_Tech.js'\/SCRIPT\););
else
out.print(document.write(\SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.2'
SRC='/Echnaton/Scripts/hierArrays_User.js'\/SCRIPT\););
%
}
//--
/SCRIPT
snip
Jasper reports the following exception:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occured between lines: 141 and 148 in the jsp file: /Header.jsp
Generated servlet error:
C:\JavaSoft\Tomcat4.0\work\localhost\Echnaton\Header$jsp.java:209: Invalid escape
character.
out.print(document.write(\SCRIPT
LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.2' SRC='/Echnaton/Scripts/hierArrays_Admin.js'\/SCRIPT\););
Exactly this code works perfectly fine in JRun! It seems like the parser could not
handle the escaped quotation mark in the document.write() method. Could anybody help?
I am currently working with Tomcat 4.0.1. I have downloaded the binaries only (for M$
Windows).
Many thanks!!
Thomas

Re: JSP Escape character problem - PLEASE HELP
At 10.01.2002 10:44, you wrote: The escaped double quotes should be fine. I would think that it's the escaped forward slash (in \/SCRIPT), which shouldn't need to be escaped at all. Thats correct! It works fine when removing the '\' character. I don't remember why I had put it there. Probably JRun had a bug and required it or it is a reserved word for JRun since it has some non standard extensions. Many thanks Jeff!
