Re: Binary of mod_jk.so for Apache 2.2.x
For both threads : Binary of mod_jk.so for Apache 2.2.x and mod_jk under RedHat ? Here is apparently the deal with mod_jk and Redhat (quoted from my competent sysadmin) : In the RedHat product Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (RHELS), there is no repository containing a pre-packaged mod_jk module. To obtain such a package, the client has to purchase the separate RedHat package JBoss Enterprise Web Server, which contains mod_jk. He adds (and I do not understand what that means, but someone else might): 'JBoss Enterprise Web Server is not a Channel that can be added to RHELS.' I may comment on this later on, but for now, it seems that the alternatives for someone who for whatever reason wants/needs to stick with RHELS and the pre-packaged software that it contains, the alternatives to connect Apache and Tomcat are : - use mod_proxy and mod_proxy_ajp or - use mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http (which are part of Apache 2.x, which is available in RHELS) or purchase the additional RedHat product JBoss Enterprise Web Server, in which case you can also use the included mod_jk package. For someone who wants to stick with RHELS, does not want to buy the additional JBoss Enterprise Web Server, but can/is allowed to install other packages, an additional possibility is to use mod_jk, after compiling it from source. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

RedHat and mod_jk
Hi. Recently, other people and myself were looking for a pre-packaged mod_jk binary for a RedHat RHELS system. As a result of some investigation (by Mark Eggers on one side, and an independent sysadmin of my customer on the other side), things seem to boil down to (largely quoted) : In the RedHat product Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (RHELS), there is no repository containing a pre-packaged mod_jk module. To obtain such a package, the client has to purchase the separate RedHat package JBoss Enterprise Web Server, which contains mod_jk.

Personally, I find this a bit cheeky, specially from a company that presents itself as a champion of Open Source. It is not an unmitigated feeling, because on the other hand I also recognise that mod_jk is a complex piece of software, and that supporting it for customers certainly has a cost.

Webserver HowTo
Dear all, I currently ran into a problem while configuring apache2 with apache-tomcat6. I followed the steps explained on the page http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/apache.html Under Installation-Using Tomcat auto-configure A part is missing to get this running using a standard configuration in tomcat6: an ajp 1.3 connector has to be enabled as well. As this was not obvious to me, it took me some time to get it running. Maybe you can change the following part and add the information enclosed in square brackets or something similar. Then restart Tomcat and mod_jk.conf should be generated [ Please be aware that an ajp 1.3 connector has to be defined as well. ] For more information on this topic, please refer to the API documentation at the Tomcat docs website.

RE: mod_jk question about lingering close_waits
Thanks for your replies. I found the solution was to set JkWatchdogInterval (by default this is not on). I set it to 30, and observed the FIN_WAIT disappears after 60 seconds (this could be the worker.maintain setting?) and the CLOSE_WAIT thread disappeared when it reached the connection_pool_timeout. Does this mean connection_pool_timeout only works if JkWatchdogInterval is swithed on?

I am not the one who can really answer your question, but 1) this is the right list for Apache/Tomcat connectors (mod_jk among them) 2) a question : do these CLOSE_WAIT sockets bother you for some specific reason ? In a totally different context, I have had problems with Linux systems when hundreds of such sockets accumulated over time (entire TCP stack becoming unresponsive at some point), but they do not seem to have an impact when the number remains reasonable (below one hundred or so). In this case, as I understand things, there will be a maximum of N such sockets, where N is the maximum number of threads which Tomcat may have, at some point, running simultaneously from this AJP Connector. (And it is also the number of connections which mod_jk will automatically configure in its pool). On many of the sites which I take care of, I regularly see 25-50 such mod_jk sockets in CLOSE_WAIT state for extended periods of time, and they do not seem to have any negative consequences on the system. They just clutter the netstat displays, but you can always grep -v them out. 3) Look at the extensive sample configuration provided by the mod_jk 1.2.32 source download. There are many interesting worker properties, for example idle timeouts, which should reduce the CLOSE_WAIT counts.

How can i change JSESSIONIDSSO cookie name?
Hi Guys, I have JSESSIONIDSSO cookie related problem. Currently I'm running two web applications in the same machine, but using two different tomcat servers. Both the applications has the same context path, but port numbers are different. I've enabled single sign on feature in in one of the tomcat's application. It is using JSESSIONIDSSO cookie for this feature. If i logged into one of the application, another one get logged out. It happens due to same JSESSIONIDSSO cookie name. To avoid this issue, i want to change JSESSIONIDSSO cookie name in one of the application. So i can avoid this name conflict. I know, i can change JSESSIONID name. Is it possible to change JSESSIONIDSSO name? Any other way to solve this problem? Note: If i change context path of the both the application, It will work. But unfortunately, i can't change. Both the applications are running in same context path but in different ports. Regards, Mathan Karthik R

Unfortunately, it's shown in an image and therefore not findable using text search. :( It doesn't show that cookie-config has any sub-elements, either (just that they exist, it just doesn't show them). So, we have to turn to the XML Schema documentation for the element. The parent schema, http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd, says nothing because the definitions come from http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-common_3_0.xsd, where cookie-config is defined along with it's sub elements, including max-age: xsd:element name=max-age type=javaee:xsdIntegerType minOccurs=0 xsd:annotation xsd:documentation The lifetime (in seconds) that will be assigned to any session tracking cookies created by this web application. Default is -1 /xsd:documentation /xsd:annotation /xsd:element That's pretty much all we have to go on. Since it's a cookie property, the server has no control over it after the initial Set-Cookie response header. That is, the client controls the actual expiration of the cookie as it sees fit. java/org/apache/catalina/connector/Request.doGetSession (and, later, java/org/apache/catalina/connector/Request.changeSessionId) are responsible for actually creating the session cookies and then adding them to the response. I don't see any logic in there for checking the max-age and re-sending the cookie to update the client. The question, though, is what is the intent of the setting? There are two ways to interpret cookie-configmax-age: 1. The value is used to set an absolute maximum age of the cookie, relative to the creation of the session. The cookie expires after that, and the session is effectively lost after that. The semantics here are of a server session with a client-enforced expiration some fixed time in the future, regardless of how recently the user visited the server. 2. The value is used to set a sliding maximum age of the cookie, essentially mirroring the server-side behavior with a client-enforced session expiration (by proxy via the cookie). #1 seems like it could be useful if you wanted a hard-maximum on the length of the session, like in 10 hours, you're done no matter what. #2 seems like it solves a historically spec-ignored situation: allowing cookie-based sessions to survive a browser restart. When using URL rewriting, the session only expires if the server says it does, and this allows cookie-based session tracking to enjoy the same benefits. If #2 is the intended behavior, then this is a bug in Tomcat. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk4gU5MACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAoAACfW3jw8bcuaUze4b2+EtEUP6eV PU0An0tSpjNAz2zKnTwY56vFHj16AE2x =ZpJv -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Hmm. Also, not everyone has a C compiler, especially on a production machine. (The answer, of course, is to build somewhere else and upload.) Jonathan, I understand that you want convenience, but there are several factors to consider, here: 1. Unless you download a binary from a trusted source (i.e. not anyone on this list, but something like something.apache.org, or from your distro's package manager), you should consider yourself compromised. 2. If you build your own mod_jk, you know it will work with your exact environment. No weird problems with slight version mismatches between httpd version or other libraries. No questions about which architecture's files you need to download, etc. 3. Building mod_jk from source is relatively trivial. See above. Most Linux distros some with a C compiler by default, and all of them can trivially install gcc. Consider trying it. Recently, the Tomcat team decided to stop providing binaries for *NIX platforms because of the above (maybe that was just for tcnative, but I wouldn't be surprised if the policy is now to avoid rolling binaries for any non-Java components). Why? Because if we wanted to provide binaries for, say, mod_jk, we need to support (at least) two architectures: x86 and x86_64. Also, there are 4 major versions of Apache httpd: 1.3, 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4. Sometimes, even httpd patch level can affect compatibility (though it really shouldn't) or maybe it was built against 2.2.11 but the user has 2.2.13 and wants to know why no binary?. We cannot possibly provide enough binaries to make everyone happy. Since it's so easy to build mod_jk, we ask users in *NIX environments to just do it. We do provide binaries for both 32- and 64-bit Microsoft Windows environments for Apache httpd, Microsoft IIS and (wtf?) Netscape, because those folks rarely have compilers handy. If you have any trouble building mod_jk, please don't hesitate to come back for help. - -chris If all the tools are available on the production system (compiler, libraries), then you do this as a normal user: myuser$ tar -xvzf tomcat-connectors-1.2.32-src.tar.gz myuser$ cd tomcat-connectors-1.2.32-src/native/ myuser$ which apxs myuser$ ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --enable-api-compatibility myuser$ make (where myuser$ is whatever prompt you have for your user id). Then you tell the system admin where the location is (probably now in /home/myuser/tomcat-connectors-1.2.32-src/native/), and have him do as root: # cd /home/myuser/tomcat-connectors-1.2.32-src/native/ # make install That should get the mod_jk.so installed. The administrator will then have to configure it (see tomcat-connectors-1.2.32-src/conf for examples), and finally restart the Apache HTPPD server. Hopefully the administrator should be able to do that. . . . . just my two cents

How to send binary data in a form field via Java
I apologize in advance if this is not the correct mail list for such a question, but this is the closest one I could find. (I am using Tomcat 6.0.26 but my question is generic in nature) I have a Java client that talks to a servlet using several text fields. I now wanted to add a field that includes binary data (in this case a protocol buffer byte array). The data gets to the servlet, but the bytes are changed. Specifically, it appears that the encoding/decoding of bytes 127 are not the same as the original bytes. The client specified content-type to be application/x-www-form-urlencoded right now, but I have tried several others. Then, for encoding, I have tried encoding the bytes using URLEncoder ByteArrayOutputStream osBytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); byte[] val = ... // My binary data String valStr = new String((byte[]) val); osBytes.write(URLEncoder.encode(valStr, UTF-8).getBytes()); DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(urlConn.getOutputStream()); os.write(osBytes.toByteArray()); Now, on the servlet side, I do a request.getParameter() to get the field. It is already decoded (I assume URL decoding) by the servlet container. Do I have control over the decoding? A portion of the byte array at the client is as follows... 31 12 e 8 ac e2 cb 8c 90 26 10 90 There are several variables, that I need to get right at the same time. 1) content-type... what is the correct content type 2) encoder... is URLEncoder the correct encoder? 3) encode string... UTF-8 and US-ASCII do not work. 4) do I have control over the decoding on the servlet side? 5) anything else I need to worry about? Any help would be greatly appreciated. - Tosh

RE: Sticky Session Not Working With Apache 2.0.54 and Tomcat 7.0.8
We do not send cookies. Our clients are not web pages but applications embedded in proprietary hardware, which connect to our network via landline telephone or cell modem and access our servlet via HTTP connection. The servlet responds by sending a message containing several parameters in name-value pair format, including a session id that appears as: session-id= unique_client_identifier-current_time_in_milliseconds. The client will respond to the servlet with a message that contains the same session id name-value pair. After initial connection, all client-server communications will contain this unique session id name-value pair. Apache will forward the requests/responses as expected when a single Tomcat node is running. However, for multiple nodes, the requests are forwarded round robin to all nodes. Our system environment prevents us from using session replication between nodes, so we have to use sticky sessions. I do not believe the problem is with Tomcat, but rather how mod_jk routes the requests. Is there any way to configure mod_jk so that it will recognize the session id name-value pair? -Original Message- From: Rainer Jung [mailto:rainer.j...@kippdata.de] Sent: Friday, July 15, 2011 9:44 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Re: Sticky Session Not Working With Apache 2.0.54 and Tomcat 7.0.8 On 15.07.2011 12:48, Lataxes, Karl wrote: Our servlet assigns a session id to a client when it initially contacts the server.

Subject: How to send binary data in a form field via Java
I apologize in advance if this is not the correct mail list for such a
question, but this is the closest one I could find.
(I am using Tomcat 6.0.26 but my question is generic in nature)
I have a Java client that talks to a servlet using several text fields.
I now wanted to add a field that includes binary data (in this case a
protocol buffer byte array). The data gets to the servlet, but the
bytes are changed. Specifically, it appears that the encoding/decoding
of bytes 127 are not the same as the original bytes.
That's expected, because ASCII is only defined to byte 127. From byte 128,
the related characters differ by the used Encoding (UTF-8, ISO-8859-1,...)
The client specified content-type to be application/x-www-form-
urlencoded right now, but I have tried several others. Then, for
encoding, I have tried encoding the bytes using URLEncoder
ByteArrayOutputStream osBytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] val = ... // My binary data
String valStr = new String((byte[]) val);
osBytes.write(URLEncoder.encode(valStr, UTF-8).getBytes());
That is unreliable, because the bytes are converted to chars using the
platform's default charset. If that differs from the server's one, the bytes
will be decoded to other characters.
Have you tried to just Hex-encode the bytes when sending it to the server,
and decoding it on the server side? For example, if your byte[] array is {1,
99, 0, 255}, you could encode it to the hex string 016300FF, and then on
the server side, decode it to bytes.
However, a more efficient form would be to encode the bytes via Base64,
which will mean a increase in size of only 33% instead 100% (when
hex-encoding it).

The S.A. confirmed this. That file and nothing closely resembling it are found anywhere on the whole box. Is it needed to compile mod_jk? Yes, and you will need a collection of other include files and libraries that are probably not installed on your system. Building mod_jk on a RedHat system is slightly complicated by the fact that RedHat breaks up packages. For example, if you install the apr and apr-util packages, you might expect to have all the tools required to build software with Apache's portable runtime libraries. You don't. You will need to install apr-devel and apr-util-devel in order to build other software using these libraries. The apr and apr-util packages contain only what is required to run software built with these packages. Building mod_jk on RedHat (at least Fedora), requires a collection of development tools and packages. At the top of the requirements chain, these are: 1. httpd-devel This package provides /usr/sbin/apxs among other things. 2. apr-devel The include files for building software with the apache portable runtime libraries. 3. apr-util-devel The include files for the utilities library of the apache portable runtime libraries 4. Java JDK Note, the JRE will NOT work. You should download and install this from Oracle, although there are ways to get this installed using the RedHat package manager. There are include files in $JAVA_HOME/include and $JAVA_HOME/include/linux that you will need. If yum is set up properly (at least on Fedora), the dependencies for the first three packages will be pulled in when you request the following (as root): yum install httpd-devel apr-devel apr-util-devel In part, you should see the following get installed. perl (if not installed already - can't imagine why it wouldn't be) pkgconfig db4-devel (which requires db4 and db4-cxx) expat-devel (which requires expat) openldap-devel (which requires openldap,cyrus-sasl-devel) cyrus-sasl-devel requires a set of packages as well. cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-lib Hopefully everything else should be in place on your system. Again, in a sane world yum will pull in the required dependencies if you just do the following as root: yum install httpd-devel apr-devel apr-util-devel Yum will come back with a list of additional packages it needs to install in order to meet the requirements. This is how it works on a Fedora system, which is basically the beta testing environment for RedHat EL releases. For mod_ssl, you shouldn't have to build it. At least on a Fedora system, mod_ssl is provided by the mod_ssl package. Installing that as root with: yum install mod_ssl will bring in the openssl package. You will need the openssl package and the openssl-devel package in order to build the Tomcat native libraries packaged in $CATALINA_HOME/bin/tomcat-native.tar.gz. Hopefully between you and your system admin, you can decipher the above mail message. . . . . just my two cents. /mde/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
Re: How to send binary data in a form field via Java
If you are sending binary data--say because you user is downloading a file, or your servlet is writing a image--you need to open a javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream ( http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/ServletOutputStream.html ).

(I am using Tomcat 6.0.26 but my question is generic in nature) I have a Java client that talks to a servlet using several text fields. I now wanted to add a field that includes binary data (in this case a protocol buffer byte array). The data gets to the servlet, but the bytes are changed. Specifically, it appears that the encoding/decoding of bytes 127 are not the same as the original bytes. The client specified content-type to be application/x-www-form-urlencoded right now, but I have tried several others. Then, for encoding, I have tried encoding the bytes using URLEncoder ByteArrayOutputStream osBytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); byte[] val = ... // My binary data String valStr = new String((byte[]) val); osBytes.write(URLEncoder.encode(valStr, UTF-8).getBytes()); DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(urlConn.getOutputStream()); os.write(osBytes.toByteArray()); Now, on the servlet side, I do a request.getParameter() to get the field. It is already decoded (I assume URL decoding) by the servlet container. Do I have control over the decoding? A portion of the byte array at the client is as follows... 31 12 e 8 ac e2 cb 8c 90 26 10 90 There are several variables, that I need to get right at the same time. 1) content-type... what is the correct content type 2) encoder... is URLEncoder the correct encoder? 3) encode string...

I don't find a package in Fedora 14, RHELS 4, or RHELS5. I guess this could be asked on the Fedora developers' mailing list or IRC (which feeds into Fedora, which feeds into RHELS).

This is just one point why we won't ship mod_jk binaries for posix platforms any more. First we don't have an infrastructure with all that platforms/version/cpu flavors. If you see earlier release you will find two things. 1. Inconsistency 2. Incompleteness So it might be you've just been lucky and one of the core developers build the version that (might) work on your infrastructure.

Our clients are not web pages but applications embedded in proprietary hardware, which connect to our network via landline telephone or cell modem and access our servlet via HTTP connection. The servlet responds by sending a message containing several parameters in name-value pair format, including a session id that appears as: session-id= unique_client_identifier-current_time_in_milliseconds. The client will respond to the servlet with a message that contains the same session id name-value pair. After initial connection, all client-server communications will contain this unique session id name-value pair. Apache will forward the requests/responses as expected when a single Tomcat node is running. However, for multiple nodes, the requests are forwarded round robin to all nodes. Our system environment prevents us from using session replication between nodes, so we have to use sticky sessions. I do not believe the problem is with Tomcat, but rather how mod_jk routes the requests. Is there any way to configure mod_jk so that it will recognize the session id name-value pair? I did understand your question, but you still did not give the information hntains the session id. The protocol spoken is HTTP and Apache is an HTTP server. So you need to get used to the appropriate language in order to allow us to understand and give a correct answer. That's why I suggested words as query parameters, path info, request headers etc. If the session id is send by the client as part of the request body, then it will become complex and I currently see no solution without a bit of coding.

Re: How can i change JSESSIONIDSSO cookie name?

Hi Mark Thanks for your swift response. Sorry i missed to mention my tomcat version. One of my application using tomcat_6_0_28 and another application using tomcat_5_0_28. I have added org.apache.catalina.SSO_SESSION_COOKIE_NAME and org.apache.catalina.SESSION_COOKIE_NAME. Now my JSESSIONID cookie name got changed. But JSESSIONIDSSO name didn't get changed. Am i missing anything? Regards, Mathan Karthik R A quick look at the docs (and javadocs) seems to indicate that this is not possible for 5.0.x. All interesting fields are public static final String. Time to upgrade. For 6.0.28, why did you change both? I was under the impression that you only wanted the SSO cookie name changed. From the the documentation: org.apache.catalina.SESSION_COOKIE_NAME Note that the Servlet specification requires this to be JSESSIONID. You should not rely on being able to change this. How did you set the system property? Did you read this? http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Miscellaneous#Q29 In particular, it's a good idea to create a setenv.sh file in $CATALINA_HOME/bin (or $CATALINA_BASE/bin if you're running several Tomcats from a base installation) and add the appropriate setting to CATALINA_OPTS. Something like: #!/bin/bash CATALINA_OPTS=-Dorg.apache.catalina.SSO_SESSION_COOKIE_NAME=JNONSTANDARDSSO export CATALINA_OPTS might work. This is based on my reading of the documentation.

IIS 7.5 2008 Server
Hi All I am trying to get the tomcat server to work on IIS 7.5 with 2008 Server, I have tried many different ways and websites that say that they work, but when I go through there examples I am just not able to get it to work :( I have enabled the execute rights on the dll, virtual directory.

Re: Tomcat 7 generated web.xml
Yeah, you may be right out it's usefulness, but on the video I watched, it was being pitched as a performance boost if you had a massive web app (with annotations and web-fragments). So the use case would be, develop the app with annotations enabled and in production, switch them off and use the master (generated) web.xml, that's what my understanding of it was. So, with that in mind, I'd have thought a web.xml file would have been created and that could be checked into version control without the user having to do anything. This may not be what had been envisioned for it's primary use, it just struck me as a nice feature to have.

Re: Tomcat 7 generated web.xml
No, that wasn't the way it was pitched. The video was from springsource and a Mark Thomas was discussing the feature in question ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSPo8k6DbTsfeature=related). He did say that this feature was good for ensuring nothing was enabled accidentally through web-fragments and that the log feature would help sanity check the web-app configuration. However, he did state it was a good way for improving performance. This was purely out of my own curiosity and I've not looked into Tomcat much and it seemed (to me at least) worth asking about. As you seemed to have implied in your comment, unless the app is rebooted on a regular basis, it may not be worth dumping the in memory copy to a generated web.xml file.

Re: RedHat and mod_jk
It's been my experience that it's best *not* to rely on the distro for any mission critical piece of software. Either download the binary from a trusted source or build it yourself. If you rely on RedHat, Novell, OpenSuSE, Unbuntu, etc. you can wait for some things until you are old and gray. Worse is to have some update that you haven't screened stomp on something you need.

I think if you have critical requirements (technical, security, business) that aren't being met by your distribution's package release you have to roll your own. Manage it just like any other software release. The issues are then mostly management (culpability and support). How those issues are dealt with becomes a matter of business culture. I've been successful in the past in getting permission to build critical components locally. I've also been in environments where this was strictly forbidden, even at the expense of not meeting business requirements and/or exposing the infrastructure to known security risks. Meeting requirements is preferred (in my book). It also appears that more and more admins are uncomfortable with building, installing, and then managing systems with locally installed software. This goes back to the challenge that the original poster had. Why an admin would balk at learning how to do this is another question . . .
