RE: A dead cat

[Shapira, Yoav]

Hi,
I would just suggest one quick test combination, but I don't have time
to look into the issue in depth: 
- Get JDK 1.4.1
- Since you're using JDK 1.4.x, try running the -LE-jdk14 tomcat
distribution, not the full distro.  The tomcat download page details the
differences between the two.

Re: A dead cat

[Simon Kelly]

Thanks for the reply.

I have started redeploying manually, as you suggested.  This seems to be
working very well so far.  A bit long winded but at least nothing has gone
wrong.  Just incase it is of any use and may shine some light on the
original problem the details of the machine and set up with web.xml are
shown below.

Thanks again for you help.

Howdy,
It is difficult to help specifically, but here are a couple of general
notes that may be relevant:

1. Tomcat won't die (actually, the JVM won't die) if you've created any
non-daemon threads in your application.  If you create such threads,
either set them as daemons or ensure their proper termination.

2. I suggest simplifying your deployment process, at least temporarily.
Don't use the manager to redeploy.  Copy the war file manually each
time.  Unless you have some special settings, don't enter a 
element for your webapp in server.xml.  Restart tomcat, ensuring it's
dead, between each deployment.

If you could post more details, including OS name and version, tomcat
version, JDK version, your web.xml file, we could probably help more.

A dead cat

[Simon Kelly]

Hi,

I am currently using tomcat as a standalone server to test some webapps that
I am creating.  I have some experiance with web servers but little or no
experiance with tomcat.  And I have a couple of major problems.

1)  The cat is dead but won't go away!  I have installed tomcat twice now,
the first time I had a conflict within the port addressing for tomcat and my
exist database where both were configured to listen on the same port.  A
school boy error really, but when I killed off tomcat and edited the server
config file to listen on an other port I got Exceptions every time I tried
to restart tomcat.  I uninstalled and then reinstalled tomcat and everything
was working fine for a couple of days.  However! After problem 2 occured the
same situation has come back with tomcat.  The one thing I have noticed
though is that the tomcat.exe in the process list cannot be killed using
task manager.

2)  When tomcat was up and running the second time I managed to get the war
file into the webapps dir and it automatically detected it, created a
directory and deployed.  However, after a while and during one of the
updates to the app, tomcat seemed to jam and would not reload the app.  I
tryed to use the manager, but it would not let me even restart the app.  So,
I removed it from the directory and then restarted tomcat.  This time tomcat
would not even see the file was there and I had to install it using manager.
This worked for the first couple of changes, but then this too failed and
now tomcat will not respond at all.

I am going to unistall and reinstall again, but if anyone knows why this is
going wrong I would be most greatful.

As a side, during the deployment using manager I got the  app in by
declaring the path '/katrin' and then giving the file url
'file:/c:/programme/apache group/tomcat 4.1/webapps/katrin.war'.  This
worked for a couple of times, but then failed.  There are a direct copy of
the last lines I entered.  Is there something I have done wrong in the url,
as it is this error "Mallformed url ..." that I am getting.

Kindest regards

Simon
