Good book
Hi, Being a newbie to TOMCAT and Java. Is there a good book or some other type of reading material for TOMCAT. I work as a system administrator and will not be developing JAVA servlet applications. But, I do need to understand the ins and outs of TOMCAT for installation, configurations and security. I don't understand the information in the various files, like server.xml, web.xml, etc and their releationships. Dave

I think some dudes on this mailing list are working on that. There is however a good website which is being updated frequently and describes everything you need to administer a Tomcat web site. hope this helps.

[ANS] RE: virtual hosts on different ports
Bill, What you stated is what I'm trying to do. I have a single server, in which I need to utiltize ports 8601 and 443. But, I want each port to examine a certain 'context'. Right now I'm manily concerned about 8601 for our developemt team. Here is my entry from the server.xml and httpsd.conf file. But, when I try to connect to the pages I receive a 404 error and in the jasper log file I notice TOMCAT is trying to excute the code from $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes directory. Can you give me a clue on what I'm doing wrong.

If you setup tomcat to listen on ports 8080 and 8082 then all of your contexts become available on both ports. Using virtual hosts you can restrict particular contexts to particular virtual hosts, but all virtual hosts are available on all ports. That's what I found when I did some research and code archeology a little while ago. I wanted to separate two contexts by restricting the first context to the first port, and assigning the second context to the second port. -Bill -Original Message- From: Chris Andreou [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 11:30 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: virtual hosts on different ports you can create different contexts that listen on different ports -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 1:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: virtual hosts on different ports Hi, Can I configure TOMCAT virutal hosts on different ports, not ip addresses?

Apache, SSL and TOMCAT
Hi, I'm confused and can't find any good documentation dealing with TOMCAT,SSL and Apache. I'm using a 128 bit SSL key from Verisign with my Apache web server. I noticed in the TOMCAT's server.xml file a series of steps to be completed if I need SSL support. I don't understand step 1 and 3. I'm new at this so please forgive me. But what is JSSE and where do I added it to the CLASSPATH. If I'm intergrating TOMCAT with Apache why do I generate key as outlined in Step 3. Dave
virtual hosting problem

virtual hosts on different ports
Hi, Can I configure TOMCAT virutal hosts on different ports, not ip addresses? I seen this question asked in the archives but there was no responses. Dave
[ANS] RE: virtual hosts on different ports
I tried setting up different contexts but when TOMCAT started it searched for the servlets in $TOMCAT_HOME and ignored the docBase directive.

Security Problem with Tomcat
Hi, I've been reading the recent security reports concerning TOMCAT and I'm a little bit confused, so I'm hoping someone can explain them to me. I saw where you can walk the directory structure of your TOMCAT server. From what I seen, the problem was on a WIN2K box with 3.2.1 using the TOMCAT web server. I also read you can download your .jsp files. Here again it seems this problem is evident with the TOMCAT web sever. Later messages reported this problem with 4.02Beta. Somewhere, the thread was lost and I can't piece all of it together. Therefor, I need to know if I have a problem with my configuration. My configuration consist of Solaris 2.6, Apache 1.3.9 and Tomcat 3.2.1. Tomcat has been intergrated within our Apache web server. But, I do start the TOMCAT server. Also, should I upgrade to the latest Beta version to be more secure? Is there anything I have to do to my jsp scripts if I upgrade? Finally, could someone give me a good detail explanation of the security issues with TOMCAT? Dave Ansalvish
