Re: How to read and save a simple file?!?
Regarding the classloader: The read and save methods, respectively, reside in two different classes. The read method is static and called like ReadClass.GetProperties (i.e. without an object). The save method is part of a servlet class and is not static. May this cause problems? I know practically nothing about classloaders et al, and I do not tamper with them anywhere else in the web app. Jan Andersson Senior Software Engineering Specialist IBM Rational Brand Services +46 (0)70-793 23 02 Oddegatan 5 164 92 Stockholm ALEX HYDE [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-11-14 16:46 To Jan Andersson/Sweden/[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject Re: How to read and save a simple file?!? Hi Jan, This is one of things that's given me a headache in the past. Take what I say with a pinch of salt as I'm no expert. I would guess that (if your file is not at the root of the class path) you might need to specify a full path to the file relative to the root of the classpath. I'm afraid this is just a guess. For example if your properties file was located: mydir/ReqProFPHubNotifier.properties then you might need to try referencing it like: cl.getResource(mydir/ReqProFPHubNotifier.properties) or (absolutely) cl.getResource(/mydir/ReqProFPHubNotifier.properties) I'm afraid I'm guessing. I think I fudged this once just through trial and error. Good luck ps: you are referencing the class loader via different classes in each case so I'm not sure if this might have an effect. --- Jan Andersson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all! This is a simple question, which should have a simple answer. I have a servlet in my webapp that reads a file with properties and displays them. You can change the properties and then hit Save, which makes the servlet write the properties to a file. The problem I'm experincing is that when saving the properties, the file is not found. The code for writing goes like this. ClassLoader cl = ReqProPropConfig.class.getClassLoader(); URL propsURL = cl.getResource(ReqProFPHubNotifier.properties); FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(propsURL.getPath()); PrintStream printOut = new PrintStream(out); and then a series of printOut.println writes the properties, one at a time, to the file. And the code for reading: ClassLoader cl = ReqProInitializer.class.getClassLoader(); Properties properties = new Properties(); String path = cl.getResource(ReqProFPHubNotifier.properties).getPath(); String decodedPath = URLDecoder.decode(path); InputStream in2 = new FileInputStream(decodedPath); properties.load(in2); in2.close(); return properties; I use the classloader to be able to find the file without having to point out exactly where it is. (As I've been told, the classloader uses the classpath to find the file.) The code as it stands today (e.g. the use of URLDecoder) is mainly a result of trial-and-error. That is, it used to work but not anymore (which probably is due to testing in the real production environment, which isn't exactly what I used when I tested it.) If there's another way to read and write a file with properties (relocationability of the property file preserved, relative path ok) I'm VERY interested to hear. As you understand, I'm pretty new to both to Java and Tomcat, although I have some ten years experience of professional programming. So this questions in its simplicity is really annoying me. One doesn't think of reading and saving a simple text file as something that should be complicated. Please help!

Re: How to disable Tomcat Admin directory
Ok. This only makes sense if you have a connector like mod_jk or the isapi_redirector mapping contexts from Apache or IIS back to tomcat. In that case, review your config and unmount the tomcat admin context from your front-end web server. --David Mark, The \conf\catalina\localhost directory is empty and there isn't an admin folder at \server\webapps. The admin interface is not installed, I'm only trying to get Tomcat to stop responding when I hit the WEB_ROOT/admin folder from a web browser. The reason being Tomcat is keeping users from getting to the real /admin folder on our server. Thanks for your help.

RE: advice on auto logout servlet
From: Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] So there is no way to provide this functionality using just servlets :( You could sort-of hack something together using meta-refresh directives on the pages so that the browser knew to refresh the page just as the server timed out the session, but you need to tell the browser *something* in order for it even to request the page from the server.

Re: advice on auto logout servlet
Hi Mark, Is there any way to allow servlets to auto-logout a user when the timeout has been reached. We solved the problem slightly different. We use a rather small timeout for the session (say 10 minutes) and put a small iframe (nearly hidden, just changing colors) on the page where we use a javascript which refresh this little page (meta refresh might do it too) every minute. Due to this ping the session wont expire as long as the browser is open. Once the user closed the browser those pings are absent and the session will be destroyed. No need to put the user on a you have been logged out page as the browser window for to the corresponding session is no longer existent. Should I patent this? ;-) --- Mario - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: issue tomcat and special characters
IMO, it's a bad idea to still use Latin-1 these days. The best way is to find out why you can't insert those characters. Well, I don't know why you can't do so. Maybe there's because the MySQL provided by EasyPHP is quite old. By the way, since you use EasyPhp, that implies you're using Windows. You could very well forget about EasyPHP and download an official MySQL. You don't use either Apache or Php from EasyPHP, right? If yes, there's no reason to still keep it. Go here and download the community edition: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ While you're there, you could also download the Connector/J. As to configuring MySQL, it's quite intuitive and there's not much to say. I'm making web pages explaining how to make MySQL+Tomcat to work but it's still under construction, so I can't show you. But if you like, here's a little detail (b.d. means you could just choose the parameters by default): After a complete installation of MySQL, there's the Setup Wizard. Skip sign-up if you want next Detailed Configuration (b.d.) next Developer Machine (b.d.) next Multifunctional Database (b.d.) next Tablespace (b.d.) next Decision Support (b.d.) next TCP/IP Strict Mode (b.d.) next Here, you'd better choose Best Support for Multilingualism option next (b.d.) and better choose Include Bin Directory in Path next specify your password and Enable root access from remote machine if you want.

Tomcat and Web Services
Hi I have question concerning Tomcat and Web Services. I have a web services running on a server named 'DTJAS' under tomcat with JWSDP 1.6, that sits behind a firewall. I would like to publish this to the outside, so we came up with a name of LLOYDS, we have a web server sitting outside the firewall with the internal IP for DTJAS and external IP of LLOYDS. So an externally user can see our WSDL through the browser, which goes to the web server, running APACHE, passing the request to DTJAS. It works fine, the problem occurs with the soap:address location= line in the WSDL. Instead of referring to the LLOYDS address it refers to the DTJAS address. So when the externally user try to call the web service they try to go to DTJAS which of course can not be hit from outside our firewall. So here is my question, how do I tell Tomcat to put the LLOYDS address in the WSDL. I have tried 'REPLACE_WITH_ACTUAL_URL in the WSDL, changing the host file on DTJAS, and even putting LLOYDS in the address and recompiling, but it always shows as DTJAS, the name of the server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

mod_jk and url encoding
Okay, i'm using tomcat 5.5 and mod_jk with apache 2. It looks like I've got jk set up okay for the most part. I'm able to use the site as I did before switching to mod_jk except for one thing. When I try to access the following url I got a 404 from apache and tomcat never gets a chance to touch the url (I have a request dump valve in there dumping all requests): /sdirect/_sp=Shomesp=Sadmin%2FHome/admin/Home, $AdminBorder.$Nav.link.html now the problem is the %2F. If I replace that with a / like this it works fine: /sdirect/_sp=Shomesp=Sadmin/Home/admin/Home,$AdminBorder.$Nav.link.html I even tried adding JkOptions +ForwardUIREscaped to my httpd.conf with no luck. Any ideas on why this is not making it to tomcat when %2F is used?? I am really befuddled with this one. -- Dan Adams Software Engineer Interactive Factory - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Using Authentication/Authorization
Hiya, I am using Tomcat and Apache to host a simple website. I need to have some security on the site. At least to start with. Eventually I need to have security, period. :) So, following the documentation and several walk-thrus from many sources, I cannot get tomcat to cooperate. I am running Mac OS X 10.4.3 and am using Java 1.5.0, apache 1.3, and tomcat 5.5.12 and am connecting apache and tomcat with the ajp13 connector (using mod_jk version 1.2.14). At this point, I'm think I'm bypassing Apache/JKconnectors and going straight to the webapp via port 8080... When I set up the web.xml file for using, say, basic security, and then attempt to access the constrained resources, tomcat gives me the error that the requested resource is not availabe. When I remove all attempts (in the web.xml file) at security, I can access the resource just fine. I tried using the UserDatabase realm and also the MemoryRealm, but to no avail either way. Next, when I go to the default tomcat page, http://localhost:8080, and try to go to the Administrator section, it asks for my login and password. (I've configured the tomcat-users.xml file to add an admin and manager role to one of the users and restarted the server.) But when I attempt to log in, I get the error: The requested resource (/ admin/j_security_check) is not available. I know j_security_check is the action you enter for a form authentication, but this is what came with tomcat.. nothing of my creation, so I don't think I'm the problem. This link worked on my tomcat version 5.0. I upgraded today and now it doesn't work... so now seeings how I can't seem to get security running on my webapp and I can't log in to the administration section of the server, I'm wondering if there is some funk going on out of my scope. I downloaded the binaries for mac.. maybe something is wrong? If anyone has any idea, please let me know.. I am at a total loss.

What is the benefit of using Filter instead of servlet? The only thing I see, is that I can reconfigure it without changing the web.xml and therefore without restarting the server. Anything else? I wanted to keep this functionallity out of the root webapp, not to save the server from a restart, but to keep the release process simplier. It's quite easy to release a one servlet webapp, as to release our root webapp with all the tagging, testing and so.

I wrote a small webapp (1 servlet, 1 url-fetcher) which maps the context and path, fetches the content of the url and delivers it to the user. Let's say it's xxx webapp. I didn't want to make a copy of it for any of foo,bar, etc context's, so I droped following xml files into my $catalina_home/conf/Catalina/localhost: foo.xml with content: Context path=/foo docBase=xxx/, bar.xml with content: Context path=/bar docBase=xxx/, and so on, for each context. Everything is working fine, except, that the webapp is loaded once per context which makes 6 times for now and probably 60 in half year. I think it's a waste of resources and am searching for another solution. Note that I already have a ROOT webapp (otherwise I'd place it under root with servlet mapping instead of contexts) which I'd like not to touch, because of different release cycles of both applications. What is the best strategy to achieve my goal (having multiple context mappings to one instantiated webapp) ? Virtual hosts? URL Rewriting Filter in ROOT webapp?
