Re: Reading from files in servlet from Tomcat-4.0.4

Quick Question
Hi all, I wrote a simple java bean that reads a txt file, the problem is where do I need to put the txt file??... What is the default directory in Tomcat?? when I put something like this in my java bean : FileReader(config.txt) Where does tomcat look for that file? thanks Alex
RE: Quick Question
Hi all,
I'm trying to resolve this problem with all the solutions that you gave
me, but it doesn't work...
This is what I did:
in my java bean (not a servlet), I have this code:
public class DbBean {
public int Connect() {
InputStream is =
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(config.txt);
if (is == null) {
return 0;
}
else {
return 1;
}
}
then in my jsp, I called this method, and then I write the value (0 or
1)..
The txt file is in WEB-INF/classes/beans..., because DbBean is in a
package called beans, and I start tomcat from TOMCAT_HOME/bin..
When I load the jsp, the method Connect of the DbBean (java bean) returned
0, which means the InputStream is null, but if I put the txt file in
TOMCAT_HOME/bin, I had no problem, the method returned 1 why is
that??.. I'm using Tomcat 3.2
Do I need to set something else in Tomcat??
thanks again

tomcats default directory is where ever you called the startup.sh/bat

So if you dont use another script to call the startup.sh/bat file tomcats
default will be the bin directory.
Use this code to find the directory where WEB-INF is. Then you can
traverse
your directory structure from there.

Hello TOMITA,
Where does your Bean exist? Is it in one of Tomcat's classloaders, or
is it running out the WEB-INF/classes or WEB-INF/lib folder of your
webapp. I'm geussing the it is in one of Tomcat's classloaders
meaning $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib, server/lib, or lib (shared/lib in
Tomcat-4.1.x).
Those classloaders can't see the individual webapp classloaders.
However, libraries in your webapp *can* see Tomcat's plublic
classloaders (all bug server/lib, server/classes).
You may have to rearrange the location of your libraries.

Hi, Alex.
Since JSP's are turned into servlets before they are executed, I
don't
see why you couldn't do this. For your convenience, JSP's have some
common
objects already available for use. The application object is
equivalent
to
the javax.servlet.ServletContext object you would get by doing a
getServletContext() call. So, application.getInitParameter(key)
should
do
the trick, too.

I know next to nothing about JSP. Haven't touched it. I use XMLC and

Tomcat is great at what it does. Apache is great at what it does. Some people have situations that require both, for various reasons. Maybe there is an existing site, and dynamic content via Tomcat is a retrofit. Maybe their application has a large amount of static content (an image library or other digital asset library, for example). Any number of things. There are also security concerns, and usability concerns with running Tomcat stand-alone. To bind to port 80, Tomcat runs as root. This is unwise in a production environment. Apache does not run as root on port 80. Also, many people do not like to see 8080 or some other port number on their URL, and many corporate firewalls restrict outbound access to ports that are not email, HTTP, or FTP related (8080 is not one of those). There are also problems with CGIs, and other extensions. Perhaps you have a need for mod_rewrite, or some other Apache module, before the request gets to Tomcat. Perhaps you have a significant amount of CGIs (perl, whatever) that need to run, and only one IP address (and hence, only one port 80). So you would setup Apache name-based virtual hosts on the single IP address, and direct Tomcat-related requests to Tomcat and let Apache do it's thing for the others. There are all sorts of scenarios where Tomcat in stand-alone mode wouldn't be the optimal choice.

Right now most of the documentation consists of the xdocs which are pretty good, but can be so much more. The developers obviously have little time to maintain the present documentation and there is such an apparent need that I wonder why a project for the documentation has not been started. There are many doc-projects out there to emulate. I especially like the one that the apache folks have running, the new xml documentation for Apache 2.0 is probably the best I've seen. I'm sure that many people would be willing to devote some time to organizing and maintaining input from the community into a resource that would benefit everyone. I for one would be willing to contribute, but right now there is nothing an nowhere to submit to. Should the developers of Tomcat initiate a project for the documentation? Or should we? The Apache folks seem to have solved this issue, it remains to be solved for Tomcat. Have a look at some examples of opensouce projects which have solved their documentation problems: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/ http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/ http://www.debian.org/doc/ddp http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/ http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dsssldoc/index.html http://pm-doc.sourceforge.net/ http://zdp.zope.org/ http://www.tldp.org/ rls -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
