Re: Forms and JSPs
It works! Instead of recompiling Apache 1.3 to use threads I installed Apache 2.0 and mod_jk2. It took a bit of wrangling to get the configs working with my virtual hosts, but now everything is happy and I can use parameters on the URL. Thanks everybody!

Re: Forms and JSPs
Steven,
Thanks for the reply, this has me stumped. Sorry for the lack of
information, but I just wasn't sure where to turn. I was hoping
somebody could give me a starting point. I've been through the JSPs,
server.xml and httpd.conf without luck. I compared the IDE's server.xml
with the production server.xml and I can't find anything different. I'm
more of a programmer than a sysadmin so I may be missing something
incredibly simple.
One thought that comes to mind is, wtf are you *trying* to do
with the second URL?
The page I used for a the sample URL is pretty basic and doesn't
normally use the GET method. I just used it as an example because it is
a fairly simple page and just passing a parameter to it on the URL
shouldn't cause a failure. Passing parameters to any JSP pages causes
the failure. The page is just a simple form that uses JSTL for some
content processing. It currently doesn't call a bean directly.

How do I send a request through telnet? I can telnet to port 80, but I
don't know what it is waiting for. If I type in GET I get the index
page from my default virtual host. If I try typing anything after the
GET I get a 400 error.
Try installing a vanilla stand-alone tomcat, and test the second
version with that. If the problem goes away, then you know you need
to tweak your mod_jk mappings.
I'll setup the stand alone again and see what happens. When you say
tweak your mod_jk mappings what file are you referring to?
Further, it was back in 1996 that I last saw this behavior, and I
suspect that today servlets might be smarter about this.
What's interesting is that I remember this same behavior from my last
job. There we were using Oracle iAS which is based on Apache and Orion.
I don't remember if they fixed the issue or we just coded around it.
But it doesn't really matter since I don't work there any longer and it
doesn't apply to this issue. ;^)
Ideally, the next step in troubleshooting this would be to look
at your logs and see exactly what requests mod_jk is forwarding, and
exactly what error tomcat is reporting when you request the second
URL.
In looking at the mod_jk log I am getting this error:

jk_uri_worker_map_t::map_uri_to_worker, wrong parameters
I just tried google, but didn't find anything useful. I'll set the
logging back to debug to see if it turns up any more information. Also,
as I mentioned before catalina.out is logging [Ajp13] bad read: -103.
The Apache error log reports:

Next I'll try the stand alone again.

JkLogLevel error
/IfModule
and in the virtual host I have:

JkMount /nfl2003/* ajp13
I'm still getting the [Ajp13] bad read: -103 error in catalina.out
and [Sat May 31 12:28:26 2003] [notice] child pid 8349 exit signal

Unless the login.jsp is coded to grab the username parameter from the GET request and use it to pre-populate the login form, the second URL should, at best, just produce the blank login form. Maybe you should post your JSP source. Both instances are running on the same physical box. The working version runs in Tomcat under the IDE. The failing one runs in an Apache/Tomcat setup using mod_jk to handle the JSP requests. This last detail (mod_jk) definitely points to a mapping issue.

On Sat, 31 May 2003 08:30, Jeff Knox wrote: Has anybody ever seen JSP pages that work with forms using the POST method and not the GET method? Just for the record, I have never seen this. It's conceivably possible, depending much on the JSP compiler, but unlikely. If it were going to happen, it would be like this: The JSP generates a servlet. Normally when you code your own servlet, you define one or more of the HTTP request types (GET, POST, HEAD, etc). A given request type has a specified method implemented on the servlet (doPost(), doGet(), doHead(), etc). If you then atttempt one of the unimplemented requests with that servlet, you would get an error. So, conceivably your JSP might generate a servlet that only has one of doGet() or doPost() implemented. However, I have no idea how this is defined in the JSP spec, so I would not assume this is happening. Further, it was back in 1996 that I last saw this behavior, and I suspect that today servlets might be smarter about this. I *know* for a fact that if you use a POST but you define the ACTION=http://foo.com?bar=baz;, the bar=baz parameter will carry through. This sort of fact, though strictly speaking unrelated, suggests that the JSP compiler might be equally smart about generating both doPost() and doGet() methods. Having said all of this, your question above, and the further example URLS you post, do not agree. There's nothing in the examples you posted, or the further description of the problem, that suggests that you're actually seeing a JSP that works wtih a POST but not a GET. It's just suggesting that your mapping or your JSP is incorrectly defined, so that the username parameter trips things up. Ideally, the next step in troubleshooting this would be to look at your logs and see exactly what requests mod_jk is forwarding, and exactly what error tomcat is reporting when you request the second URL. I would also highly recommend using telnet to www.gamesquick.com port 80 and simulating the two requests, to see exactly what error the server is sending back to your browser.
