I'm not sure how much is viable under Windows, since I've only done Linux EC2 instances. Load balancing: You can't do multicasting (last I checked) in a cloud environment. You'll need to use something like redis or memcache if you need to support sessions / load balancing without sticky sessions. I recommend steering away from sticky sessions because that complicates outages / maintenance. Database: I'd look at RDS and multiple instances across availability zones. There are some issues with fail-over and the time it takes. Look at recent AWS forums for work-arounds. Disks: I think that one good design (if you can't do Docker or Elastic Beanstalk) is to place all of your tools on an EBS volume. You can mount this on Windows (I think - works with Linux), and access all of your services from there. There are several advantages to this. Backups are done by doing snapshots of unmounted disks. You basically do the following: 1. Disconnect an instance from a load balancer 2. Unmount the driver from the instance 3. Perform the snapshot command 4. Once the snapshot command returns, remount the drive 5. Add the instance back to the load balancer Server instances: In a cloud environment, server

HTTP to HTTPS redirect not happening
I tried implementing automatic redirection from HTTP to HTTPS on my tomcat today, but it's not working. First, my system: OS: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (server) Tomcat: 9.0.22 (installed from tomcat distribution, not via apt get) Java: OpenJDK "11.0.3" 2019-04-16 Mysql: Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.26 This web application has it's own domain (let's call it "mydomain.com" ) and has working HTTPS - and has done for some time now. Static web pages are served on this application via tomcat using the ROOT directory ../tomcat/webapps/ROOT Again, this is working just fine. If I type "https://mydomain.com; I see the secure static pages. If I type "http://mydomain.com; I see the same pages, but browsers inform me the page isn't secure. I want to force tomcat to redirect "http://mydomain.com; to "https://mydomain.com; always. I found instructions for auto-redirection on several on-line sites, and all had the same instructions. I already have the redirect code in server.xml: So all I had to add (according to the instructions) was code at the end of ...tomcat/conf/web.xml Secured /* CONFIDENTIAL just before the final I did this and restarted tomcat. It doesn't work. After restarting tomcat, if I type in "http://mydomain.com; I still see the unsecured version. It does not auto-redirect to https. What am I missing?

Re: tomcat 7.0.90 ubuntu web-security.xml doesn't work.
Chris, Thanks for responding. I got that from the web.xml file itself; > The only references I can find (including the archives of this list) are copies of web.xml with those same instructions. Creating a block that adheres to that DTD and placing it in the bottom of web.xml (before the last tag) works as expected. The web.xml file is dynamically generated and so I am left with having to remember to update the tomcat7/webapps//WEB-INF/web.xml by hand *after* it is finished deploying from the .war file. If I could place it in a separate static web-security.xml file than it can be packaged in the .war file and automatically applied whenever the application is deployed.

Re: OT: Tomcat on AWS for Dummies
My advice when it comes to making your setup environment-agnostic: Docker'ize it. I haven't used Docker on AWS, but once you have an image running locally you can be 98% sure it's gonna run on the server (e.g. mounting files from host can cause some differences still, so best to avoid that).

OT: Tomcat on AWS for Dummies
I have had a dedicated hosted environment with WAMP and Tomcat for over 15 years. I'm very familiar with everything related to that environment... apache http, mysql, dns server, the file system, JAMES, and all of my management scripts that I've accumulated over the years. Everything is in the same box and basically on the same desktop. But now I have a client that has needs that are best met in an AWS environment. I understand just enough AWS to be dangerous, which is not much I do know that it's a bunch of different modules, and I believe I lose the direct file system access. I've watched an AWS intro video and a couple of youtube videos on setting up TC in AWS. But they always starts with "now that you have your AWS environment set up". I am looking for something that explains the big picture of migrating an existing WAMP+TC to AWS. I am not so naive to think that there won't be significant rip-up to what I have now. But I don't want to do unnecessary rip-up just because I don't understand where I'm heading. Basically, I don't know enough to know what I don't know But I need to start planning ahead and learning soon if I'm going to have any disasters in my code where I might have played it too loose with accessing the file system directly in my dedicated environment. Has anyone been down this path before and could point me to some tutorials targeted to migrating WAMP+TC to AWS? Or possible hand-hold me just a little...? I'm a pretty quick learner.

tomcat 7.0.90 ubuntu web-security.xml doesn't work.
Hi all, Running tomcat 7.0.90, I am trying to add a security block to a struts 1 application to redirect *most* urls to https. It works fine when I add it to the web.xml file in the webapps//WEB-INF/web.xml file. That file states that I should be able to add it to a separate web-security.xml file, but when I do so, tomcat *ignores* the web-security.xml file. Is there something that's *not* mentioned that I am forgetting to do to actually get this to work? Thanks, rik.

I am using a build of OpenJDK that was packed as a zip file, so that is from a different vendor than yours. I cannot comment on all steps of your experience with installer, but here are a few comments/ pointers 1. I installed Tomcat as a service using "service.bat" file included with Tomcat. The JAVA_HOME environment variable is used by "service.bat" file only. I set it at command prompt before running the service.bat file. E.g. set JAVA_HOME=C:\Programs\java-12 There is no need to set the variable globally. Your frustration is uncalled for. 2. The path to Java can be edited via a GUI configuration dialog for the service runner. The dialog is shown when you run "tomcat9w.exe". 3. The service runner is provided by Apache Commons Daemon project and is used by Apache Tomcat (and other projects) "as is". (The service runner for Windows is called "Procrun" within that project.) http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/procrun.html "tomcat9.exe" and "tomcat9w.exe" are renamed copies of "prunsrv.exe" and "prunmgr.exe" respectively. I do not remember how procrun searches for Java jvm.dll. I's been a long time since I studied their source code. If that algorithm could be improved, it is an issue with Apache Commons Daemon project. If some documentation is lacking, it could be improved in Apache Tomcat project.

tomcat and openjdk as windows service
I have tomcat (9.0.22) running as a service on Windows with Oracle's Java 8. I now want to move this to OpenJdk 12 to keep current and I have quite some problems to have tomcat find the OpenJdk installation.

Could be some permissions problem. What platform is it ? (Like : when you do it "by hand", you are logged-in as a user with sufficient permissions to overwrite existing files/create new ones. But when tomcat tries to do the same, it cannot because its own permissions are insufficient. There should be something in the logfiles though. Have you looked there ?) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
