SSI Servlet Character Encoding Problem
Hi people, I use Tomcat 5.5.9 with Apache 2.0.54 and jk 1.2.10 to serve my websites. I want to set custom error pages to be served when an error like 404, 500 etc. occurs. The website uses the iso-8859-9 character set on every page, and the error pages are encoded with iso-8859-9 too. Only *.jsp pages and servlets are mapped to Tomcat through jk. All other static content is served by Apache. My error pages are all Server Side Include shtml files. These error files include some jsp files with: !--#include virtual=file-name -- I have set up SSI (correctly I hope) on both Apache and Tomcat, and also set up custom error file handling on both httpd.conf and the default web.xml for the site I want to customize. On my server.xml file, my site is configured like this: Host name= http://www.foo.com www.foo.com appBase=/usr/www/foo Context path= docBase=/ Context path=/servlet docBase=servlet/ /Host On my default web.xml for tomcat configuration, SSI servlet has these directives added: init-param param-nameinputEncoding/param-name param-valueiso-8859-9/param-value /init-param init-param param-nameoutputEncoding/param-name param-valueiso-8859-9/param-value /init-param When I go to some nonexistent foo.html on my website, Apache handles the customized error page and everything works fine. On the other hand I have two problems: One is, if the isVirtualWebappRelative variable in web.xml is set to 0, and I go to a nonexistent foo.jsp on my server, jk sends the request to Tomcat and when Tomcat tries to handle the customized error page, it cannot find the included files in SSI and an error is written in the Tomcat error log like: SEVERE: ssi: #include--Couldn't include file: /include/footer.jsp java.io.IOException: Couldn't get context for path: /include/footer.jsp The /include folder is in the server root. I think it should be able to find these pages, as it looks at the server root because of the state of isVirtualWebappRelative variable, am I wrong? When I set isVirtualWebappRelative to 1, this problem is solved only for server root, my servlets (say /servlet) still cannot get the customized page includes, because this time the SSI includes become web app relative and I have to copy the /include folder into /servlet/include directory to work around this problem. My second problem is, when I go to this nonexistent foo.jsp with isVirtualWebappRelative set to 1, and when Tomcat tries to handle the error page, the encoding is always UTF-8 regardless of inputEncoding or outputEncoding variables. So my error page becomes full of garbled characters because the encoding should be iso-8859-9. Is there any suggestions about these problems? Best regards, Kerem
RE: How to serve just JSP (was: Re: JSP on RHEL4 with Apache http d RPM?
Unfortunately I have to keep the main port 80 httpd, as it's serving 20Gb of other material (the entire campus web site). All I need is the trick to make Apache httpd hand off any .jsp files to Tomcat. As I am newly subscribed to this list, I don't know if you have got a satisfactory answer for your question, but if you don't; I have the same configuration like yours, static files are served by Apache and *.jsp files are served by Tomcat. All you have to do is to use Java Connector to mount jsp files to Tomcat. You can find the necessary documentation in Connectors part of Tomcat documentation. If you can't get out of it, I can help you set it up off or on list. Cheers, Kerem
RE: mod_jk performance
Well I tried both, and as my websites do not have a very high traffic (I have approximately a total of 50 GB per month) the speed is not primarily a concern to me, I am looking to the security side of the problem and Apache+mod_jk does its job better than only Tomcat concerning security. I have stress tested Apache+Tomcat and only Tomcat and it seems like %30 is too high. I can suggest using mod_jk 1.2.10 with Tomcat 5.5.9, surprisingly you get very similar results. Mod_jk 1.2.10 had some performance problems but I did not thoroughly test why. I hope this may help a little.

RE: mod_jk performance
AFAIK mod_proxy performs worse than mod_jk. Just my 2 cents.

You can use apache mod_proxy to forward request on 8080 [or whatever your run tomcat on] to tomcat without going through mod_jk There are pros and cons to take this approach, but it may suffice in your case.

RE: mod_jk performance
Apache has better directory/file restricting and handling than Tomcat, it is more customizable and it is much user/admin friendly to configure :-) (at least for me) I configure all security related stuff on Apache and have my Tomcat listen only on AJP connector with 127.0.0.1:8009. Tomcat is harder to configure and -sadly- it has a far worse documentation than Apache (for now).

Hello I have searched far and wide but no luck so thought i try here. I have a Red Hat ES V4 Linux Server that has 3 different versions of JDK and JRE on it. They each are being used for different projects. One of the versions is 1.5 JDK and JRE. I need to install now Tomcat 5.5.9 on the server and I must have it use the 1.5 JRE when it starts up. Unfortunatly the systems global JDK and JRE are set to the 1.3 Version of Java and this I cannot change it must remain. I thought awhile ago I came across mention of how to start up the Tomcat server and tell it what JRE to be using. But I don't remember exactly. Can anyone help? I tried making a Tomcat user and placing the Tomcat server in this Tomcat users directory. Then setting the JAVA_HOME in this Tomcat users .bash_profile to point to the 1.5 directory. I then log into the Tomcat user and run the command java -version. I get back 1.3. I thought there was a place in one of the config files to point it at what the JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME was? or some kind of command I type at startup on the linux box? any help much appreciated. __ Yahoo!
