Re: can't access database after timcat idle for several hours

Are they on the same machine? If not it could be a
firewall issue? It could be alot of things but that's
a start.

 I am running 3 servers; Apache, Tomcat (5.5.16, java

 After the app has been idle for several hours tomcat
 cannot access the
 database. Netstat shows not connections to the
 database
 and tcpdump shows no traffic at all going the
 database when queries are made
 to the app (which would cause the database to be
 consulted)
 At first it seemed that the overnight backup of the
 database was causing
 this problem but restarting tomcat after the backup
 only fixes this problem
 for a few more hours.
 I wrote a loop to wget url's that cause the database
 to be consulted every
 60 sec but after several hours this problem happens
 again. Tomcat seems to
 be fine, I can load the
 management page and restart the app. Only restarting
 tomcat fixes this
 problem, reloading the app does not fix the
 problem.. Nothing is being
 logged during and right before this problem.
 
 Does anyone have suggestions to further debug this
 problem ?

Re: Upgrade to Tomcat 5.5 has broken my jndi

2006-03-08 Thread ALEX HYDE
Thanks for the help. 
  
  I seem to be able to get it working when I have a context file under my  
web-app in the meta-inf directory. But I am still unable to properly  configure 
a global datasource. Here is my context.xml. very  standard:
  
  ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
  
  Context
  
  Resource name=jdbc/testdb auth=SERVLET type=javax.sql.DataSource 
driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver 
   url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/testdb username=me password=me 
 maxActive=30 maxIdle=2000 maxWait=120/
  
  /Context

  If I remove this and instead add this to server.xml
  
  GlobalNamingResources
  Resource name=jdbc/testdb  auth=SERVLET 
type=javax.sql.DataSource  driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver  
url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/testdb username=me password=me  
maxActive=30 maxIdle=2000 maxWait=120/
  /GlobalNamingResources
  
  It no longer finds the datasource. My web.xml looks like this:
  
  web-app version=2.4
  display-nameJNDI Test/display-name
  description

   /description

  I tried this, but it is failing to parse:

Serving secured static content

2006-01-11 Thread ALEX HYDE
Dear group,
  
  I have been looking at how to best serve static content from my web-site. 
Most of the content is static. 
  
  I was looking at using Apache as a front to Tomcat and have that all up  and 
running. The problem is securing the content. I have written an  Apache plug-in 
using mod_perl but I'm no expert and am concerned about  how this might 
perform, for example, db connection pooling. 
  
  What is the the most recent recommendation on serving static content now? I 
can see a few options:
  - use Tomcat
  - use Apache and write a plug-in
  - use Pippo or seomthing like that
  
  Thanks alot.

Adam,
  
  I think I just posted a question on nearly this same topic.
  
  I found something called Pippo for static content and would be easier to 
configure as it sits in Tomcat. 
  
  Do you have security considerations? Have you had to add modules for securing 
content in Apache?

There is quite an easy sollution. 

Run squid as you main webserver and as a web accelator in front of your
tomcat. From the squid config you can decide what your want cached and
what now. I don't understand why this is not done more often since its
A) a very easy sollution
B) does not loose any of the funtionality tomcat can offer you
C) allow to fine grain the load of tomcat completely

Only downsite, the squid cache in core memory gives of course the best
performance so as much memory as possible will help. On the other hand.
The HTML of much sites fits easily in 500MB core memory.

Hello all,
 
I am running a reasonable sized site, on Linux Red Hat + Tomcat 5.5.7.
The site is serving mainly Flash movies and servlets with streaming
video through a commercial codec, plus a full HTML version of the site.
Currently, I have Tomcat 5.5.7 integrated with Apache 2.0.46, which was
(very) difficult to set up, and now I am looking to rebuild my server
into a better configuration, I want to simplify my admin by running
Tomcat on its own to serve all content. 
 
My question is this : does anyone have experience of running a 500 000 -
1 000 000 page impressions / month site, including  elements such as I
mention above, on Tomcat alone? I want to avoid the web server
integration if Tomcat is up to it, but I would love to hear if anyone
else has been successful with Tomcat standalone before I do?
 
Many thanks!

URLConnection

2005-12-16 Thread ALEX HYDE
Hi All,
  
  I need to make a very simple get request from a remote web server each time a 
user first comes into the site. 
  
  I wanted to just use the core HttpURLConnection class. It will be  thread 
safe because the object will be used and created in method  scope. In the Sun 
javadoc it says that underneath the covers, the  Connection can be shared. So 
the question is, is this an expensive  operation or am I ok to just create a 
new HttpURLConnection each time a  user first enters the site? I noticed that 
Apache Commons have a  version of an HttpClient, in which they explicitly 
mention pooling  connections in a multi-threaded environment. Can I just use 
the  standard HttpURLConnection or will I quickly run out of  
resources/connections? Should I be using something along the lines of  the 
Commons Client
  
  Thanks alot

Tomcat runs just fine on Linux. Use the most recent version (Fedora Core 4
is fine, or OpenSuse 10, or ...). These should come with a fairly recent
version of Tomcat (5.x or 5.5.x) or the packages should be available.

I prefer to install Tomcat myself on Linux, from a downloaded binary (tar.gz
file) as some of the Linux distributions break things up in various ways,
that I find a bit confusing (though I can also usually see the logic of it
too).

However, why in the world would you be developing with Tomcat 4 - it is two
major versions behind. If you had an existing production version to support,
that would be more understandable.  But you are starting out clean it seems
- there are many security and performance fixes are in Tomcat 5.5.

up with a scheme where we could apply our security  model to control access
to these files via the web server. For example ­ someone associates a PDF
with some meta data. We don¹t want the user to be able to bookmark the
underlying URL and email it to their friends for them to download without
having them authenticated by our service.

We are looking at a couple of different ideas.

1. Create a servlet filter to sit in front of the resources requests and
somehow tie that into our application logic
2. Create a regular proxy type of servlet that can accept requests and
validate them using our security model
3. Figure out a way to secure the filesystem using a Proxy server of some
type.

Any other thoughts or ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance

Re: TOMCAT + DATASOURCE + CONNECTION POOL

2005-12-12 Thread ALEX HYDE
Hey,
  
  I think though I'm not 100%
  
  When you declare the datasource in web.xml (or is Server.xml?) it  creates a 
pool factory for you under the covers (I think using Jakarta  DBCP). When you 
use JNDI look-up it asks the factory for a pool. You  are then magically using 
a pool. You specify the pool details in the  declaration in web.xml.

   or will the DataSource itself provides the Connection POOL for managing
the JDBC connections
   on startup ,if so what needs to be done to increase the size of the
connection pool size.

Re: Filters

2005-11-25 Thread ALEX HYDE
Carl,

I'm quite new to this but I'd guess that the Filter is
instantiated at start-up by Tomcat. You might direct
your new requests, plus the old requests for the asp
pages, to Tomcat, using say Apache. Using a filter you
could intercept *.asp and then forward/redirect to the
new resource.

--- Carl Olivier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Greetings.
  
 I have a questions regarding Filter servlets.  If a
 request is made for a
 non-existent/non *.jsp or servlet URI - will the
 Filter be instantiated?
 Reason I ask is because I want to interect old
 bookmarked requests for an
 old site - which has been migrated to a new tomcat
 based JSP site - however
 the old site was ASP based.
  
 Many users of the old site would have bookmarked
 something like:
 /index.asp?PageID=16 or something similar - and I am
 hoping to be able to
 intercept that - using a Filter seemed a logical
 choice - and send back a
 redirect to the new URL /some.jsp for those
 requests.
  
 Thanks in advance,
  
 Carl

RE: database connection pooling

2005-11-22 Thread ALEX HYDE
Khawaja,

Just to add to what the others said. When you close
the connection it doesn't actually close the
connection, it returns it to the pool. You close it to
return it, not to actually close it. It doesn't mean
literally terminate the connection, otherwise you're
right, there would not be much point in having a pool!

Not sure if this is what you meant or not.

--- KEREM ERKAN [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 When pooling on Tomcat, the connection must be
 closed.
 
 I think, by saying closing would defeat the purpose
 of connection pooling,
 Khawaja may be thinking about pooling in Tomcat as
 some persistent
 connection method, and while it is a persistent
 connection with Tomcat and
 the DB server which it connects to, the code that
 works on Tomcat sees the
 connection as a regular connection not a persistent
 connection. So unlike
 some persistent connection pooling methods (for
 example oci8 on php), in
 Tomcat, the connection must be closed, or it will
 hang unless some mechanism
 sets the connection as idle, or until Tomcat is
 restarted.

 Kerem

 Hi, you should definitely close the connection right
 after the method that is invoked.  The connection
 should be closed in the 'finally' block.
 
 May we know the reason why you think the closing
 would
 defeat the purpose of connection pooling?

Re: Could do with some guidance/help

2005-11-10 Thread ALEX HYDE
Richard,

I'm a novice myself so here's guessing

Silly question but have you looked at the Tomcat log?
That's usually a good starting place when you get an
internal server error. Maybe a path to one of your
classes has changed, eg, a filter? ie, your classes
don't match was web.xml expects.

Good luck.

Re: Mimetypes

2005-11-05 Thread ALEX HYDE
Hey, Thanks for that Andoni.
 
I thought that was what it was originally but I set up some tests and the 
mime-type returned for the phone I was using was correct. 
 
It turns out it was more to do with the encoding of the file itself. I think I 
had gone a bit hardcore, in the sense of trying to get the phones to play files 
with a v.high bit and frame rates. Very useful message from the phone though!?
 
Thanks alot Andoni.

Andoni [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Have you looked at /conf/web.xml ?

In this file you have a list of file extentions and their associated mime
types. This tells the HTTP Server in Tomcat what MIME Type to associate with
them when they are being output.

I would recommend removing Apache from the process altogether while you are
having config problems. Set Tomcat's port to 80 from the default 8080 and
switch off Apache.

Hope that helps, keep writing if not.

Andoni.

Apache filters?

2005-11-03 Thread ALEX HYDE
Hi all,
 
I am using Tomcat to serve up my image content. I was considering moving this 
static content to Apache itself but I'm stuck on how to do dynamic 
authorisation of a directory in Apache. In Tomcat I can restrict access to the 
images directory by adding a filter and in this filter dynamically checking for 
a valid security pin in the url. But how would I do such a thing in Apache? I 
know Apache can do it based on user or requesting machine but this is more 
dynamic.
 
Cheers alot
 
Alex
