questions on documentation for configuring AJP connector

2010-06-28 Thread Rumpa Giri
We are currently using - 

 

Tomcat - 5.5.25

JDK 1.5

IIS 6

Windows XP 64bit and 32bit machines

 

We are trying to upgrade to the latest connector. While going through the
worker properties variables to set we have few questions regarding the
following -

 

1) connection_pool_size - 

 

 Usually this is the same as the number of threads per web server process.
(cut-paste from the description for connection_pool_size)

 

I am not familiar with IIS - so how do you determine the above?

 

 You should measure how many connections you need during peak activity
without performance problems, and then add some percentage depending on your
growth rate.

 

How do you determine what is a good percentage?

 

Also does this property have any correlation with the attribute MaxThreads
in the Connector tag of server.xml? How do you determine what value should
you put for MaxThreads?

 

2) connection_pool_timeout - The server.xml - the default value if not
specified explicitly is 6(60 secs). I see in our server.xml AJP
connector tag - its not specified - which means I do need to specify this
property connection_pool_timeout in our worker.properties as 60? The
documentation says the default for connection_pool_timeout is 0, shouldn't
it be 60 if this has to be in synch with server.xml?

 

3) The worker.loadbalancer.method property - currently not set - but we are
thinking of doing as B instead of default R. What do you use in general? Is
there a disadvantage to switching from Request to Busyness?

 

4) Question on server.xml -

 

maxSpareThreads 

maxThreads 

minSpareThreads 

 

What are the criteria to select appropriate values? For production servers -
how do you determine the values to set?

Is there a correlation between the values for above(maxSpareThreads,
maxThreads, minSpareThreads)

 - for example - does the maxSpareThreads have to be certain % of
maxThreads?

 

Thank you for reading the question.

connector configuration values - need help to review

2010-06-28 Thread Rumpa Giri
We are currently using - 

 

Tomcat - 5.5.25 on Windows XP 64bit and 32bit machines

JDK 1.5

IIS 6 

 

Trying to upgrade to latest connector, after changing according to the
documentation I am able to browse our application behind IIS.

 

Locally the application is behaving fine with the following configuration.

 

So far I have modified the files as follows - for production environment do
the values look appropriate?

Is there any attribute/properties missing which is crucial for production
ready environment?

 

Thank you for reviewing.

 Needed also : the version of the isapi_redirector you are using (try
using the most recent 
one).
Not sure I changed the log_level to debug and info - the version did not
print in the logs. We inherited it as a legacy setup - originally
timestamped 2004 so must be really old version. We are upgrading to 1.2.30.

Thank you for all the detailed information.

 following -
 
  
 
 1) connection_pool_size - 
 
  
 
 Usually this is the same as the number of threads per web server
process.
 (cut-paste from the description for connection_pool_size)
 
  
 
 I am not familiar with IIS - so how do you determine the above?

Also cut-paste from the online documentation :
We strongly recommend adjusting this value for IIS and the Netscape/Sun to
the number of 
requests one web server process should be able to send to a backend in
parallel. You 
should measure how many connections you need during peak activity without
performance 
problems, and then add some percentage depending on your growth rate.
Finally you should 
check, whether your web server processes are able to use at least as many
threads, as you 
configured as the pool size.

 
  
 
 You should measure how many connections you need during peak activity
 without performance problems, and then add some percentage depending on
your
 growth rate.

 
  
 
 How do you determine what is a good percentage?
 
  
Intuitively, it means :
- today you want to be able to serve 100 requests in parallel, so you
configure 
connection_pool_size to 100 as a basic number.
- you want to review this in 30 days
- during these 30 days, you expect the number of parallel requests to grow
by 10%, so at 
the end of the 30 days you expect to have to handle 100 + 10% = 110
requests.
So set connection_pool_size now to 110, and review this in 30 days.
(Adapt for growth rate and review time).


 
 Also does this property have any correlation with the attribute MaxThreads
 in the Connector tag of server.xml? How do you determine what value
should
 you put for MaxThreads?
 
Yes, it has a correlation, but not direct, and it depends on many factors,
and it is quite 
hard to explain exhaustively, which is why the documentation gives you hints
rather than a 
definitive formula.

But let me try :

connection_pool_size determines how many TCP connections the front-end IIS 
isapi_redirector is going to establish, as a maximum, with the back-end
Tomcat to pass 
requests to Tomcat.  The redirector, once it has opened such a connection,
is going to try 
to keep it open for a while, to minimise the overhead of having to re-create
new 
connections all the time.
(If a connection is not being used, after connection_pool_timeout, the
redirector will 
close it).

MaxThreads basically determines how many threads maximum Tomcat will start
to serve 
requests in parallel.  When Tomcat receives a request, it starts a thread to
handle this 
request and produce a response. Once the response is produced and entirely
sent back over 
the connection to the front-end, this thread exits.  So how long one thread
takes to exit, 
is proportional to the time it takes to service the request. If more
requests come it at 
once, than the number of allowed threads can handle, the request has to
wait.  The 
Connector has a queue in which such requests can wait for a thread to become
available to 
service it.  This queue has a maximum size.  If it is full, and no threads
are available, 
the request will be rejected.
(see the backlog attribute at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/ajp.html)

How high in the absolute you can set MaxThreads, depends on the resources
available to 
Tomcat (or to the JVM that runs Tomcat).  Each thread will use some
resources, to a point 
also depending on the characteristics of the request and of the application
which this 
thread will run to service it.

Other attributes of the Connector (such as keepAliveTimeout) play a role
too.

All these things are linked, and the optimum for each depends mostly on a
number of 
characteristics of your situation.  There is no universal formula.
Make an educated guess, try it out, monitor, and rectify if needed, one
parameter and a 
little bit at a time.

  
 
 2) connection_pool_timeout - The server.xml - the default value if not
 specified explicitly is 6(60 secs). I see in our server.xml AJP
 connector tag - its not specified - which means I do need

OCI vs THIN

2007-12-03 Thread Rumpa Giri
For production environment it has been recommended that we use OCI driver.

Based on the oracle JDBC guide, with oracle 10g there is not much difference in 
the two drivers in terms of capability. 

We would like to know is there any documentation/links/whitepapers on the 
above? Is there any data proving that OCI performs better than THIN driver?

What are you using for your production JDBC driver? Have you had a chance to 
compare the two before making the decision?

Thanks,

2007-12-01 Thread Rumpa Giri
Thanks a lot, speaking of OCI, is there any evidence that OCI will perform 
better than the THIN driver? 
   
  We are being encouraged to use OCI on production environment since everybody 
says so, but our development team isn't convinced of the same. We are using 
oracle 10g and based on their documentation there isn't much difference between 
OCI and THIN, the 10g THIN driver now supports what OCI used to have advantage 
over.

The type 4 jdbc driver from oracle has been very stable for the last

session not maintained struts/tomcat 5.0.25

2006-07-11 Thread Rumpa Giri
We have a struts application on tomcat 5.0.25 jdk1.4, which does not seem to 
maintain session, when the request lands up on a particular tomcat. 
   
  We have two struts application, say app1, app2. 
   
  tomcat 1 to 4 hosts app1.
  tomcat 6 to 8 hosts both app1 and app2.
   
  The problem happens for app1 when the request lands up on tomcat 6 to 8 
hosting both the applications.
   
  While going through some of the previous post, I saw that 5.5 has a parameter 
emptySessionPath=true Is there anything similar for 5.0.25? 
   
  I saw the sessionid changes between requests when the request lands up on 
tomcat 6 to 8. Why its happening for struts application on tomcat only? Our 
other applications not using struts works fine. I checked the session is 
obtained via the method request.getSession(false);
   
  Also if only tomcat 6 is running out of all the tomcats we never face the 
problem, the moment we put another tomcat into the mix the session is no longer 
maintained.
   
  Anybody had similar experience?
   
  Any help will be much appreciated,

Re: session not maintained struts/tomcat 5.0.25

2006-07-11 Thread Rumpa Giri
It was not tomcat, we found the problem. We have been looking in the wrong 
place all along. It was the IIS JK worker.properties file that had a typo.
   
  In the wroker.properties file the jvmRoute name was wrong for these tomcats 6 
to 8. As a result, the request was never sent to the same server again by iis 
after the first request, neither the session was maintained.

System.setProperty question

2006-06-07 Thread Rumpa Giri
Why the system properties are not being set programmatically?
   
  When I say does not take affect it happens only when we do things in a 
certain order.
   
  For example we need to connect to URL_CACERTS and URL_KS. URL_KS connection 
needs the keystore properties. For URL_CACERTS we just imported their public 
key to cacerts.
   
  Case 1: If we connect to URL_CACERTS first and then to URL_KS, connection to 
URL_KS is not successful. Somehow the setting keystore properties does not take 
affect. We have the following lines of code before doing the HttpURLConnection:
  System.setProperty(javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword, _storePwd);
System.setProperty(javax.net.ssl.keyStore, _keystorePath);
   
  Case 2: If we connect to URL_KS first, and then URL_CACERTS, this sequence 
always works, somehow the keystore properties are set for the entire length.
   
  So to overcome this conflict, we added the properties to the tomcat service:
   
  If we start the tomcat service(or adding to catalina.bat) with the following 
parameters:
  -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=changeit
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=C:\certificates\pntKS
   
  These system properties setting takes affect, and order of conneting to 
URL_CACERTS or URL_KS does not matter.
   
  My question in how is connecting to URL_CACERTS first affecting the keystore 
properties?
   
  Without the above and doing the following only, its dependent on the order of 
connection. why?
   
  when we do the same thing by doing this it does not take affect 
  System.setProperty(javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword, _storePwd);
System.setProperty(javax.net.ssl.keyStore, _keystorePath);
   
  Connecting to URL_CACERTS does not have any special code, we do plain 
HttpURLConnection and write and read from the http connection.
   
  What is happening behind the scene? Why does order matter?
   
  Thanks for reading.

To answer your most-recent question below, accessing the outside URL 
should not involve IIS on your local box (the http client).  It’s not clear to 
me from your original post which is the client and which is the server.  Sounds 
like you have a client and two servers where one is your local copy of the 
vendor’s production server?  What I’ve read (three times now) is that 
   
  When we put the IIS back in mixture, it does not work anymore
   
  This statement was the basis for my original reply.

On our QA machine, we have the IIS and tomcat both on the same box, IIS has 
the redirector also. Now on this box we did not install the certificate  but 
its still working.

 

When we do the httpsurlconnection via the java code to the outside URL, is 
IIS involved at all?

Wouldn't you need IIS to have the certificate, rather then Tomcat? Just a

Tomcat Version 5.0.25
JDK Version 1.5


One of our vendor required client authentication to retrieve data. So, we
got a Thwate Freemail Certificate, send the vendor our serial number. Our
vendor added that serial number to their application to allow us to contact
their .aspx url.

We got the certificate .pfx file with the certificate chain. For our java
code to interact successfully with their URL, we had to import the
certificate with the private key in a keystore. We created a Keystore by
extracting the private key from the .pfx file. So every time we connect
using the httpsurl connection, we put the keystore as follows:

System.setProperty(java.protocol.handler.pkgs,
com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol);
System.setProperty(javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword, _storePwd);
System.setProperty(javax.net.ssl.keyStore, _keystorePath);
URL urlToConnect = new URL(_url);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)
urlToConnect.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod(POST);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStreamWriter wr;
wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
wr.write(_parameter);
wr.flush();
wr.close();

This works fine, when we are connecting through the code, no tomcat any
standalone application works fine. Even on our development machine tomcat
works fine in exchanging data with the vendor. On our development machine we
do not have IIS forwarding the request via redirector.

On our production its not working, somehow when we are sending the https
request, its not taking affect that the keystore is mentioned. Everytime
instead of the expected result we get an error page from them as follows:
  Secure Channel Client
Authentication Required  This Virtual Directory requires a browser that
supports the configured encryption options.


On the production servers, if we directly connect to tomcat via the http
port mentioned in the server.xml, bypassing the IIS, it works fine.
http://localhost:9001/ to test the connectivity to vendor.

When we put the IIS back in mixture, it does not work anymore. 
When the http request comes from IIS to tomcat, and tomcat initiates the
httpsurlconnection to the URL specified, in this roundtrip to the vendor URL
no IIS is involved right? The IIS will forward any request meant for tomcat,
and the HTML generated by tomcat is forwarded back to IIS, is that the only
link between IIS and tomcat or they interact more?

When the java code executes, it only looks at the keystore specified
right? Does having the .pfx file imported with the cert chain in the
personal store matter to JAVA code?(On local

  We changed the implementation by removing those line of code and importing 
the public key into the cacerts, it worked fine. 
   
  One more change was instead of the casting it to a HttpsURLConnection, we 
cast it to java.net.HttpURLConnection.

  I apologise for the confusion, but I was trying to figure out where the 
problem lies, so I was jotting down any differences I see between whats working 
and whats not.. I think I found out why it stops working when IIS is put back 
in the mixture, Its not IIS its the JAVA code itself. We have multiple 
connection code doing HttpsURLConnection, but the javax.net.ssl properties that 
being set are different for the two piece of code. And one setting is affecting 
the other.

1) When doing the httpsurlconnection for another vendor( say vendor A), we have 
some code which is as follows:
cacerts_path is not cacerts file, we imported the public key for VENDOR A in a 
separate truststore.

System.setProperty(java.protocol.handler.pkgs, 
com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol);
System.setProperty(javax.net.ssl.trustStore, cacerts_path);
System.setProperty(javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword, cacerts_pwd);
com.sun.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(new 
HostnameVerifier() {
public boolean verify(String urlHost, String certHost) {

return true;
}
});

// setup the JSSE handler for the connection
Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());

But I read that these lines of code is no longer needed as of JDK 1.4 right, if 
we place the public key in the %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/security/cacerts file. Is 
this true? This piece of code is conflicting with the settings for the 
following code.

2) The following piece of code executes for VENDOR B whose requirement is 
client authentication. Hence we created this keystore with the private key in 
it.

System.setProperty(java.protocol.handler.pkgs,
com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol);
System.setProperty(javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword, _storePwd);
System.setProperty(javax.net.ssl.keyStore, _keystorePath);
URL urlToConnect = new URL(_url);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)
urlToConnect.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod(POST);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStreamWriter wr;
wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
wr.write(_parameter);
wr.flush();
wr.close();

Once you run the code for VENDOR A, VENDOR B code stops working, i.e, VENDOR B 
does not get the private key in the keystore. VENDOR A works all the time. 

Refer to (1) code snippet
But I read that this is no longer needed as of JDK 1.4 right, if we place the

memory footprint question (5.0.28)

2006-04-24 Thread Rumpa Giri
I had a question on individual memory footprint of a tomcat instance and 
increasing the number of instances:

Is this assumption correct that increasing the number of instances of tomcat on 
a machine and modifying the IIS worker properties to have more worker instances 
in the balanced_worker property will reduce individual tomcat memory foot print?

For example, currently we have one machine has 3 tomcat instances running, the 
IIS worker properties, balanced_worker property points to the 3 tomcats and 
each worker lb_factor is 1. Current snapshot of memory usage is approx 175MB. 
If we add more tomcat instance and add them to the balanced_worker also, will 
the memory usage reduce for individual tomcat instance; now that the IIS will 
spread the new requests evenly among the tomcats?

I had 2 questions regarding tomcat configuration:

 1) We are currently trying to reconfigure our IIS to point to the tomcats 
 as follows:

 We will have 4 web servers. And 3 app servers each running 4 tomcat 
 instance each  configured to only have AJP connectors. In total 12 tomcat 
 instance running in total.
 And each web server is going to point to all the 12 tomcats for failover 
 at the web server layer. Is there any downside to such a configuration? 
 Earlier we had one web server point to only one app server running 4 
 instances.

 2) In the
 
 
enableLookups=false redirectPort=8443 debug=0
protocol=AJP/1.3 /

 I can define one more attribute named maxProcessors.

 A maxProcessors value of zero (0) signifies thatthe number of 
 processors is unlimited. If not specified, this   atttribute defaults 
 to 20.

 In the documentation it mentions for the [maxProcessors] This should be 
 set to a value that is greater than or equal to the maximum number 
 of concurrent connections the remote web server can open to Tomcat 
 simultaneously.

 In the configuration described above(1), since all the webservers are 
 going to point to all the tomcat instances, we are thinking of putting 
 [maxProcessors value of zero (0) ] in the AJP connector. Is there any 
 disadvantage to that?


The main disadvantage is that the docs are wrong ;-).

If you are using the APR Connector, then you need maxProcessors=-1 to 
achieve this.  If you are using the Java Connector, then 0 gets changed to 
200.

question on jvmRoute parameter (tomcat version 5.0.28)

2006-04-21 Thread Rumpa Giri
According to the 5.0 docs, the jvmRoute description says the following:

Identifier which must be used in load balancing scenarios to enable 
session affinity. The indetifier, which must be unique across all 
Tomcat 5 servers which participate in the cluster, will be appended to 
the generated session identifier, therefore allowing the front end 
proxy to always forward a particular session to the same Tomcat 5 
instance.

In the worker.properties(5.0) the worker_name correspond to the jvmRoute.

we specify the worker names who participate in the loadbalancing. such as

worker.loadbalancer.type=lb
worker.loadbalancer.balanced_workers=server1, server2, server3, server4, 
server5, server6, server7, server8, server9, server10, server11, server12
worker.loadbalancer.sticky_session=1
worker.loadbalancer.local_worker_only=1

when you say 

which must be unique across all Tomcat 5 servers which participate in 
the cluster 

do you mean the all the worker names hence the jvmRoute should be unique?

Currently we have:

server1 through server4 is on one machine having 4 tomcat instances.
server5 through server8 is on one machine having 4 tomcat instances.
server9 through server12 is on one machine having 4 tomcat instances.

While configuring tomcat can I do the following in the server.xml?

In the current server.xml the following is present :

 snipped from server.xml

!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on the port specified
  during installation  --
 Connector 
 port=5004   maxThreads=150 minSpareThreads=25

  end snippet
   
 Can I merge them together in one Connector tag like following?

Re: server.xml question on Connector Tag

2006-04-20 Thread Rumpa Giri
I am trying to understand our existing configuration.

On our production servers, we use IIS as webserver, and I think we disabled the 
http connector by putting the extra protocol attribute right in the http 
connector tag. Thats why so many attributes. I believe the intention was to 
create only the AJP connector, so doing the following should suffice right?

!-- Define a Coyote/JK2 AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 --
Connector port=9005 
   enableLookups=false redirectPort=8443 debug=0
   protocol=AJP/1.3 /

When we have the http connector configured, we could do something like 
http://localhost:9005/someapp/index.jsp

Now that we have only AJP connector the only way to get to tomcat is via the 
IIS? http://myserver.com/someapp/index.jsp?

Thanks a lot,

connector maxProcessor attribute question

2006-04-20 Thread Rumpa Giri
I had 2 questions regarding tomcat configuration:

1) We are currently trying to reconfigure our IIS to point to the tomcats as 
follows:

We will have 4 web servers. And 3 app servers each running 4 tomcat instance 
each  configured to only have AJP connectors. In total 12 tomcat instance 
running in total.
And each web server is going to point to all the 12 tomcats for failover at the 
web server layer. Is there any downside to such a configuration? Earlier we had 
one web server point to only one app server running 4 instances.

2) In the 
 !-- Define a Coyote/JK2 AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 --
 Connector port=8009 
enableLookups=false redirectPort=8443 debug=0
protocol=AJP/1.3 /
 
 I can define one more attribute named maxProcessors.
 
 A maxProcessors value of zero (0) signifies thatthe number of 
processors is unlimited. If not specified, this   atttribute defaults to 20.

In the documentation it mentions for the [maxProcessors] This should be   
set to a value that is greater than or equal to the maximum number   of 
concurrent connections the remote web server can open to Tomcat
simultaneously.

In the configuration described above(1), since all the webservers are going to 
point to all the tomcat instances, we are thinking of putting [maxProcessors 
value of zero (0) ] in the AJP connector. Is there any disadvantage to that?

Thanks,
Rumpa Giri

multiple service tags in server.xml

2006-04-20 Thread Rumpa Giri
I am going through the the documentation on configuring tomcat, and it mentions 
that in the server.xml I can have multiple service tags with different 
connectors.

Under what kind of circumstances, is this kind of configuration useful? having 
multiple service each with different connector port conifgured?

Thanks,
Rumpa Giri

Re: server.xml question on Connector Tag (ignore the question)

2006-04-20 Thread Rumpa Giri
Ignore the question, found the answer reading docs. Our tomcat instances did 
not open the http port only uses the Coyote/JK2 AJP 1.3 Connector.

Thanks,

While configuring tomcat can I do the following in the server.xml?

In the current server.xml the following is present :

 snipped from server.xml

  during installation  --
 
 port=5004   maxThreads=150 minSpareThreads=25 
maxSpareThreads=75
enableLookups=false redirectPort=8443 acceptCount=100
debug=0 connectionTimeout=2 
disableUploadTimeout=true /



   enableLookups=false redirectPort=8443 debug=0
   protocol=AJP/1.3 /
   
  end snippet
   
 Can I merge them together in one Connector tag like following?
 
 
 maxSpareThreads=75
 enableLookups=false redirectPort=8443 acceptCount=100
 debug=0 connectionTimeout=2 
disableUploadTimeout=true /

We are using tomcat version 5.0.28

Thanks,
Rumpa Giri
