To expand Chris' suggestion: What about forwarding the X11 protocol through the tunnel instead, such that you can run Jconsole on the same machine as the JVM? X11 has a fixed port number, and ssh has support for this. I've used this trick when needing to do something graphical on a box with ssh-only access; works a treat. Sorry to be so obtuse. X is not something I use regularly, so when Chris mentioned X, I thought he was talking about the secondary connection/port that the JVM/Jconsole agree on, not about X-terminal and so.

I'd rather avoid installing Cygwin on the laptop, because it interferes with other Unix-like things I have on it. The Tomcat host has a fixed internal IP address. I could also fix the internal IP address of my workstation. I have full control of the routers/firewalls/hosts. The firewall/router at B automatically tunnels ports 22,80,8080 and some others to the Tomcat host. I can add more tunnels. I can also build on-demand tunnels from outside to any inside host/port via the firewall and SSH. Doing something in the other direction is more tricky , because both Office A and B have variable internet IP addresses which change once per 24h (both with dynamic DNS though). I'm usually at A. B is my home office, and when my laptop is there, I have no problem running JConsole on it and connecting to the Tomcat host, because both are then on the same LAN.

Functionally I don't think there is a difference between jars and classes. From a management prospective however, the jar solution implies that collection of classes has a separate development life cycle from the webapp. If you fix some problem in the classes, just rebuild and distribute the jar file. Provided you didn't make a breaking change, customers should just be able to drop in the updated jar and restart the webapp. A collection of classes splayed out in the classes folder creates a more challenging update scenario.

From the docs Context elements may be explicitly defined:

What's the engine name please? Nothing clear at

I've a vague memory it may be 'catalina'?
Is my logic right please?

Nope, you don't have to.
Within your webapp, create a folder META-INF, and within this folder
create a file named context.xml
An example:
?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?
Context
Resource
[.. put your ressource-defs here ]
/Context
Tomcat's deployer will do the rest and put that file into the correct
directory, after renaming the file to ${your_webapp_name}.xml

That's usually Catalina

{}/conf//marge/atom.xml
No. First off, unless you have something specific to define for your webapp
(e.g., a Resource or Realm, you don't need a Context element. If you do
need a Context, it is normally placed inside the webapp in
META-INF/context.xml. If you wish to override the contecnt of that location,
or you want to deploy the webapp somewhere outside of the normal Host appBase
directory, then you place your Context element in
conf/[engine]/[host]/[appName].xml.
The [engine] name is whatever it's configured to be in server.xml; the default
is Catalina (case sensitive), and there's almost never a reason to change it.
The [host] name is NOT the DNS name, but rather the name of the associated
Host element that you want your webapp to run under. By default, this is
localhost - but that is not associated with the hosts file localhost.

tomcat memory leak problem
My system environment is: Windows 2000 Server. JDK 1.5, tomcat 5.5, Oracle 9 The problems are: 1. After tomcat was started, the memory of the tomcat was normal, about 200M-300M. But after a certain time(this time was not set), the memory began to grow, and the growing speed was so fast that in about 5 minites the maximum would be reached. The difference of this problem with other problems I've checked is, in other problems, the memory growing speed is continual and not so fast, while in our problem the memory didn't grow at the beginning, but after a certain time instead. 2. There is another strange phenomenon here. We restarted tomcat at 23:30 last night. We checked the log at 8:00 this morning and found out the system was not used by anyone during this time. But the memory of tomcat had reached to 1.5G, which is the maximun of tomcat's memory. Later, after some users began to use this system, tomcat' memory dropped to 500M+. How and why was the memory collected? By the way, we have cheched the code for any optimization, including StringBuffer, Vector, datasource connections, etc., which only resulted with a faster response speed for users, not any influence for the memory problem. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/tomcat-memory-leak-problem-tp21855110p21855110.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

I agree, this sounds quite strange (our app is running for several weeks and don't have any major issue, we sometimes need to restart tomcat because it hangs, but our memory is under control, and we use lotz of external api like spring, hibernate, wicket, etc.) Could you maybe profile it using Yourkit or any other tool? fcxjp a écrit : My system environment is: Windows 2000 Server.

Re: No URL rewriting when cookies are disabled
nlif wrote: Hi all, I am using Tomcat 6.0.18, with Firefox 3.0.6. I have a simple servlet, which calls request.getSession(true), and expects to create a session only on the first request, and resume an existing session on all subsequent requests. As far as I know, according to the servlet-spec, servlet containers (e.g. Tomcat), should automatically fallback to URL rewriting (i.e. adding the jsessionid parameter to the url) when the browser refuses to accept cookies. This works fine with cookies enabled, however, as soon as I disable cookies in my browser, a new session is created for each request, and the jsessionid is not appended to the URL. Shouldn't this work by default? (I know I can modify the application code to handle this, but I assumed this is not necessary.) Actually, I was just perusing a page in the Tomcat 6 docs : http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html and it actually says, for the cookies attribute : Set to true if you want cookies to be used for session identifier communication if supported by the client (this is the default). Set to false if you want to disable the use of cookies for session identifier communication, and rely only on URL rewriting *by the application*. (emphasis is mine) That sounds to me as, if you want to use URL-rewriting, you have to do it explicitly in the application. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

I noticed that if I don't give my JSPs and my servlet a path that they look for files in CATALINA_HOME You should probably be using ServletContext.getResourceAsStream(), or possibly ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(). Note that using ServletContext.getRealPath() can be problematic, since the container (Tomcat) is under no obligation to expose the file system (if any) to servlets. Good advice Charles. Unfortunately I don't have the option of altering the part of the code where the context(web application) reads in the file it needs. I could reset CATALINA_BASE to point to somewhere else, but I have multipe contexts(web applications ) and I need each to have its own unique directory to go look for files in. Right now I am only running instance of Tomcat ( for development purposes ) with my set up and if possible I would like to keep it that way.

The client doesn't send the mime-type it is requesting. It sends some

The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating
response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable
according to the accept headers sent in the request.
Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity
containing a list of available entity characteristics and location(s)
from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate.
The entity format is specified by the media type given in the Content-
Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities of
the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice MAY be
performed automatically. However, this specification does not define
any standard for such automatic selection.
Note: HTTP/1.1 servers are allowed to return responses which are
not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the
request. In some cases, this may even be preferable to sending a
406 response. User agents are encouraged to inspect the headers
of
an incoming response to determine if it is acceptable.
If the response could be unacceptable, a user agent SHOULD temporarily
stop receipt of more data and query the user for a decision on further
actions.

Unless the client requests application/xml I want to refuse the
request.
I don't think you quite appreciate the situation yet. An HTTP client does not
*request* any particular mime type; the client *may* specify the mime types it
would like to accept in response, but the server is pretty much allowed to
return whatever it wants (or a 406, at the server's discretion). If the client
doesn't like a response type of application/xml, too bad for the client.

Re: Backup of TOMCAT required
Quick answer: No. Copy over your app and configure the new tomcat to match the old one. I highly recommend hand configuring tomcat rather than just copying config files though. The review is good practice and config files -- particularly server.xml -- have changed over time. The thing that would concern me more is if tomcat and/or java version changes from old to new. If that's the case, you will have to test your app in the new environment before going live. --David Randhir singh wrote: Thanks, for your answer.

Subject: TC6 ${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/web.xml Is this the place

Just to clear up your question above : no.
In many more words :
Part 1:
the file ${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/web.xml is the default, tomcat-wide
web.xml. It plays the same role as each webapp's web.xml that resides
in the WEB-INF/web.xml of each webapp. But each of these applies only
to its particular webapp, while the general webapp first named applies
to all webapps, by default.
Part 2:
In each webapp, there is a default servlet provided by Tomcat, whose
role is to handle each request that was directed to this webapp, but for
which no specific url-mapping could be found in that webapp's web.xml.
That default servlet handles, for instance, requests for static content,
like /mywebapp/my_dog.jpg.
Part 3 :
When this servlet returns some static content, and since it is after all
part of a specific webapp, it looks first in it's own webapp's web.xml
for paramaters applicable to him. But since it probably doesn't find
any, it defaults to the parameters of the default tomcat-wide web.xml,
which is... ${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/web.xml.
Part 4 :
By some incredible clever setup, that default web.xml happens to contain
a table of Mime mappings, telling the default servlet that if what it
has to return this time is some file ending in .jpg, it should include
a HTTP header Content-type: image/jpeg (so that the browser would
know how to handle this correctly). Or if the file ends in .xls, it
should return a header Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel (or
something like that).(*)
So, in other words, if you change something in these Mime mappings,
chances are that your Tomcat is going to start returning images while
telling the browser they are Word documents, and things like that which
make for an entertaining display in the web browser.
Which is probably not what you want.
(Proudly, based on recent teaching by Chuck. Have I got it right, Chuck ?)
(*) Of course if the browser is IE, it doesn't matter anyway, because IE
will not believe what the server tells it and do its own thing.

Upgrade .. a Tomcat
Hi. Now I'm going to ask a question, sotto-voce, humbly, and don't get upset. There happens to be this Tomcat 5.5.20 you see, running under Linux Debian Etch. It wasn't me who installed it, it was the sysadmin, and he's a really difficult guy to relate to, and he has the power switch. But suppose, just suppose, that I would quietly want to bring this Tomcat 5.5.20 up to the 5.5.25+ level, just so that I could try the Listener mentioned here : http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/monitoring.html Do you think I could download a real 5.5 Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org, untargz it to some temporary directory, and replace just the few bits that would bring it up to level, without the sysadmin even noticing ? And if so, any idea of which are the relevant bits for that Listener ? Or is that kind of thing really likely to bring the whole building down ? (I would of course backup any relevant bit before I do that, and this is a development system in a remote central European town, not the one controlling the airspace above Minnesota). If it matters, the current Tomcat is running so : Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/share/tomcat5.5 Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/tomcat5.5 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat5.5/temp Using JRE_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun Server version: Apache Tomcat/5.5 Server built: Jan 20 2008 12:32:00 Server number: 5.5.20.0 OS Name:Linux OS Version: 2.6.18-6-686 Architecture: i386 JVM Version:1.5.0_14-b03 JVM Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

RealmBase's 'Container' requirement (revisited)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
All,
Back in July, I asked about RealmBase requiring a Container object in
order to function properly. This has to do with using securityfilter
with Tomcat's built-in Realms.
Here is a reference to the original thread:
http://marc.info/?t=12175132313r=1w=2
I've started playing around with implementing a trivial ContainerBase
subclass and I'm running into trouble again so I was hoping that some of
the TC devs could weigh-in.
My trivial ContainerBase subclass looks like this:
private static class DummyContainer
extends org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase
{
public String getInfo()
{
return securityfilter_dummy_container/1.0;
}
}
...and I essentially create a new Realm object and then call
Realm.setContainer(). It looks like I'm getting farther than I was
before, but I'm still getting errors deep down in Tomcat's internals.
I'm getting an NPE in the DataSourceRealm (which is what I'm using as an
example):
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm.open(DataSourceRealm.java:402)
at
org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm.authenticate(DataSourceRealm.java:283)
at
org.securityfilter.realm.catalina.CatalinaRealmAdapter.authenticate(CatalinaRealmAdapter.java:105)
The method in question (DataSourceRealm.open) looks like this:
protected Connection open() {
try {
Context context = null;
if (localDataSource) {
context = ContextBindings.getClassLoader();
context = (Context) context.lookup(comp/env);
} else {
StandardServer server =
(StandardServer) ServerFactory.getServer();
context = server.getGlobalNamingContext();
}
DataSource dataSource =
(DataSource)context.lookup(dataSourceName); /// THIS IS LINE 402
return dataSource.getConnection();
} catch (Exception e) {
// Log the problem for posterity
containerLog.error(sm.getString(dataSourceRealm.exception), e);
}
return null;
}
Since I've included catalina.jar and catalina-optional.jar in my webapp,
classes like ServerFactory and friends haven't been initialized since
they are dormant in my webapp. The real ServerFactory class being
loaded by Tomcat's server ClassLoader are, I'm sure, doing quite well.
My question is this: how much of Tomcat's internals do I have to mock-up
in order to get a Realm working outside of a legitimately running
server? That sound like a ridiculous question, but securityfilter used
to work with Tomcat Realms back in the day (4.x?) and now they don't
(definitely 5.5, possibly 5.0 and 6.0 as well) because of this reliance
upon more of Tomcat internals.
Should I continue down this road of trying to prop-up a Tomcat skeleton
server inside the webapp's space, or would it be better to discontinue
support for this feature?
Thanks,
- -chris

RE: Backup of TOMCAT required
the java and tomcat version is same in the old and the new. We had copied $JAVA_HOME also from the old to the new. I guess, then, copying the tomcat again is not required? regards -Original Message- From: David Smith [mailto:d...@cornell.edu] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 1:31 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Backup of TOMCAT required Quick answer: No. Copy over your app and configure the new tomcat to match the old one. I highly recommend hand configuring tomcat rather than just copying config files though. The review is good practice and config files -- particularly server.xml -- have changed over time. The thing that would concern me more is if tomcat and/or java version changes from old to new. If that's the case, you will have to test your app in the new environment before going live. --David Randhir singh wrote: Thanks, for your answer.

Re: Why tomcat 6.0.18 looks for MySQL JDBC driver to be placed in CATALINA_HOME/lib folder?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Ramesh, peterramesh wrote: On reading Tomcat help doc http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html, it recommends to place the MySQL JDBC driver in both places (CATALINA_HOME/lib and WEB-INF/lib folder of the app). I don't think so. The only place on that page where WEB-INF/lib is referenced is here (as application's lib folder): Note: placing these jars in both $CATALINA_HOME/lib and a web application's lib folder will cause an error, so ensure you have them in the $CATALINA_HOME/lib location only. Putting your JDBC driver in both place is a recipe for pain. 1. Why Tomcat look for the JDBC jar to be in CATALINA_HOME/lib folder? Tomcat creates the JNDI DataSource and loads your driver outside of the webapp's ClassLoader. I'm not sure why it does this, but it does. That requires you to make your driver available to Tomcat in CATALINA_HOME/lib. 2. If I copied more than one JDBC jars (with different version) in CATALINA_HOME/lib folder for couple of my applications, how each of them looks for the respective versions of JDBC driver? They can't. It'll be completely random which version of the driver wins. If you /need/ different JDBC driver versions for the same database, then you are better off with separate Tomcat instances. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmLa08ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBFYwCfQOFXsDx64Vfpv/2W8nd+cF4N zqsAnjVkrMEclBYZ0uZRxRpLjthoL1QE =WQ7/ -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

I copied the $APACHE_HOME from the old server to the new one and it works fine. I guess, this is contradictory to your answer. regards -Original Message- From: André Warnier [mailto:a...@ice-sa.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 7:43 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Copy Apache Gregor, Gregor Schneider wrote: I'm sorry, but the whole question is rediculous Yes, but the correct word is ridiculous. and needs a rephrasing at least. And maybe your answer needs this also. - What does the OP want to copy? The whole of Apache? HTML only? To me it seems as if the OP doesn't have *any* clue when it comes to Apache / Tomcat (please also refer to his previous posts). That seems indeed to be the case. But no more so than quite a few other previous posters on this list. No need to get upset. I may appear rude, Yes. however, I believe that before asking questions in a list, ppl first should at least *try* to refer to the - in this case - excellent docs. Agreed. If there are still open questions left, everybody is very welcome to ask their questions here, and I believe the list-members are more than willing to help. Yes. However, most members of this list are helping during their spare time, free of charge, just because they like Tomcat and maybe believe in the principles of Open Source. On the other hand, most members of this list are also earning their pennies with software-development / administration / whatsoever. True, wherever they are. Still, this does not mean that the members of this list are helping some offshore-wannabies to fullfill their client's (!) requirements, thus cutting off the branch they're sitting on. Now that starts sounding a bit peculiar. What do you mean by offshore ? Anyone not in the same particular country where you presently are ? (because I don't think I am either) And I thought this was a global Internet forum, dedicated to helping Apache Tomcat users worldwide, irrespective of origin, culture, nationality, beliefs. Am I wrong or naive ? Ever wondered how some offshore-companies can come up with their prices? Have a look at some posts, and you'll know... I've been wondering about the same thing reading some posts, but the presumed cultural or geographical origin or off-shoreness is not well-correlated to the (lack of) quality of the posts. I don't have any problem with a fair competition and sharing information, But the way you write, makes it sound as if you do, because the only element you had to categorise this OP as unfair, offshore or whatever was his name. If I go by the names alone, I'd bet that quite a few of the Apache Tomcat developers and helpers on this list are not direct descendants of the Mayflower crew either.
