Installing Apache Tomcat 5.5.26 on Windows 2003 Enterprise x64
We are looking to install the most recent, stable release of Apache Tomcat on the said platform (so we choose Apache 5.5.26). What JVM requirements are there? Can we install JRE 1.6 or do we need to use JRE 1.5? Thanks, Tony Fountain Manager, Database Administration Benefit Concepts, Inc.

RE: Help with Tomcat IIS
I do not agree with the statement about it being a sad tone. 95% of our shop is .NET / IIS / MSSQL, however we are intergrating another product into our applications that is written in Java and requires a J2EE compliant application server to run, thus here I am :). I understand the thoughts and practices of streamlining the technologies in your shop but being too strict about it also limits your options. There is valid consideration that needs to be made to the best tool for the job as well. We spent about 6 months evaluating a variety of tools and in this case, the ones that were .NET based fell very short of the product we ended up choosing. /soapbox Tony -Original Message- From: myrealbruno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 6:23 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Help with Tomcat IIS Hi, I think the mailing list archives are full of people with IIS - or Apache - fronting Tomcat.

Connection conn = ds.getConnection();

RE: Class loading issue
Per request, I actually don't have a xercesImpl.jar file that is being used (there is one but it's not being ran). However, I do have a file named a_xercesImpl.jar that is being used by the webapp (located in webapps\webapp\WEB-INF\lib. I did verify that the a_xercesImpl.jar file contains the class DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl. Now for some history that might help explain some of this. The product is written in Java 1.4 and shipped with an older version of Tomcat (5.0 I think - it uses procrun 1.0 if that's any help). Since the product is supposed to support running under any J2EE compliant application server, we opted to go with the more stable release of Apache Tomcat 5.5.23 and JVM 1.5. And all we did to get the product to run in Apache Tomcat 5.5.23 is moved the webapp folder from the initial installation folder of Tomcat 5.0 to the webapp folder of Tomcat 5.5.

Suggestions for connection pooling
Platform: Apache Tomcat 5.5.23 running as windows service JVM 1.5.0_12-b04 (Sun) Windows 2003 Server We are running software on this platform that we purchased and integrated into our product. We replaced the default authentication class of the product with our own implementation. This resulted in a Java class that performs many database calls to SQL Server 2005. This all works and I'm in a mode of optimizing it and found that I'm creating a database connection for every call (sometimes a single action sends many requests). I've been researching options for implementing connection pooling but I have found many variations and no really solid examples. I'm pretty new to Java / Tomcat so I'm in search of suggestions and recommendations from more experienced individuals on the following topics: * How configure a JNDI resource (versus hardcoding the connection in the class - which is what I do now). I've tried this with some examples and have been unable to get it to work. * How can I implement connection pooling? Do I need to roll my own solution or is there a magical way to tap into Tomcat and allow it to manage the connection pool (latter is preferred). Config file and Java code examples would be very helpful as well. Also, keep in mind that even though the JVM is at 1.5, the product is compiled at 1.4 if that makes a difference. Thanks! Tony

RE: Suggestions for connection pooling
Ok - I think I have my answer but I'm going to pass it by the community to verify. First, my setup is: Apache Tomcat 5.5.23 running as windows service JVM 1.5.0_12-b04 (Sun) Windows 2003 Server Apache is installed in C:\Apache\Tomcat. The location of the XML files is C:\Apache\Tomcat\conf\context.xml and C:\Apache\Tomcat\webapps\Reports\WEB-INF\web.xml. I added the following to the context.xml: Resource name=jdbc/myDatabase auth=Container type=javax.sql.DataSource driverClassName=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver initialSize=5 maxActive=-1 maxIdle=-1 minIdle=0 maxWait=1 url=jdbc:sqlserver://servername\instance;integratedSecurity=true;da tabaseName=ReportingSupport username= password= validationQuery=SELECT 1 testOnBorrow=true testOnReturn=true testWhileIdle=true timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis=6 numTestsPerEvictionRun=5 minEvictableIdleTimeMillis=60 poolPreparedStatements=true maxOpenPreparedStatements=0 removeAbandoned=true removeAbandonedTimeout=300 logAbandoned=true / I added the following to the web.xml (within the web-app tag): resource-ref descriptionResource for connecting to the SQL Server/description res-ref-namejdbc/myDatabase/res-ref-name res-typejavax.sql.DataSource/res-type res-authContainer/res-auth /resource-ref In my code I simply do: Context initCtx = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context)initCtx.lookup(java:comp/env); DataSource ds = (DataSource)envCtx.lookup(jdbc/myDatabase); Connection conn = ds.getConnection(); ...do something... conn.close(); Now, my goal is to utilize connection pooling. Does (a) this implementation achieve that and (b) the close statement suffice to return the object to the pool and not actually close the connection? Or do I also need to set conn = null;?

Monitoring Apache Tomcat
Hi, Apache Tomcat/5.5.23 (runs as windows service using C:\Apache\Tomcat\bin\tomcat5.exe //RS//Tomcat5) JVM 1.5.0_12-b04 Windows 2003 Standard (x86) We are experiencing an issue where every night our Apache Tomcat crashes. I've reviewed all the logs and can not find anything to find out why. The only trace I have is in the Windows event log this message - The Apache Tomcat service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this (n) time(s). (where (n) has been any random number it seems - 2, 5, 10, etc). There is absolutely nothing in any of the Apache log files and there is only one web app and there is nothing in any of it's log files either. My question is, are there any recommendations for monitoring the health of the Apache service so when it goes down, we can see what was going on over time? Thanks, Tony
Apache Tomcat (5.5) configuration suggestions
Hi, Windows 2003 Server R2 SP2 Apache Tomcat/5.5.23 JVM 1.5.0_12-b04 We are using a reporting product written in Java 1.4 from another vendor that integrates into our web application via frames and URL requests. We have been noticing various performance stability related issues (i.e. slow performance, degraded performance, and stability of Apache). My first thought is I do not have Apache configured optimally to (a) run at an enterprise service level and (2) work with this webapp from the vendor optimally. I believe that (a) our web interface, (b) our network and (c) the 3rd party product are all ok. I do come from a non-Java background so some of this is rather new to me. Can anyone suggestion pointers or references that can discuss (a) the various configuration options for running Apache Tomcat as a windows service and (b) options for Apache Tomcat to run optimally with a specific webapp. Just as an FYI, the server this runs on is a HP ProLiant BL20p G4 server blade. Looking at this server and seeing the issues I stated above I really think I need to configure Apache differently since the machine can obviously handle it. Also, is there some sort of server type mode for Apache to run in that will allow me to make use of more than 1.5 GB of memory? Thanks, Tony Fountain Benefit Concepts, Inc.

RE: Apache Tomcat (5.5) configuration suggestions
Peter, Thanks for the response. I have our network guy looking into that avenue for me.

You'll need the 64-bit JVM - and a 64-bit OS! Other than that, 1.5G is about as large a contiguous heap as Java can allocate in the 32-bit Windows address space. Windows reserves the upper 2G for itself and its DLLs, and there are some other bits'n'pieces in the lower 2G that fragment it. If your 2k3 server is already 64-bit, a simple change of JVM will do the job.

For most server applications, network bandwidth, disk latency and throughput and the amount of RAM available for caching are far more relevant than CPU grunt. Intel have done a superb job of branding the CPU as *the* key system component. It isn't - servers need to be balanced systems, and x86 vs x64 is only a small part of the overall balance. Bottom line: if you have an application that's too slow, a change in CPU architecture isn't going to save you :-). - Peter - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This Email has been scanned for all viruses by PAETEC Email Scanning Services, utilizing MessageLabs proprietary SkyScan infrastructure.

New to Apache
Hi, I'm new to these technologies and hope one of you pros can point me in the correct location. We are using a product written in Java that integrates into our website. This product obviously needs to run under a J2EE compliant application server so we choose Apache Tomcat 5.5 with Java 1.5. However we are having a lot of issues with performance and are trying to diagnose these issues. We are running on a Windows 2003 Server and running Apache Tomcat as a Windows service. The two things I'd like to find out are (1) how do you measure the performance of Apache and (2) where can I find good documentation on the different options/parameters/etc on running an Apache server as a Windows service? Also, I ran across some statements before about server configurations/options? Where can I find information on that topic?

IIS redirect to Apache
Hi, Scenario: we purchased a product written in Java to integrate into our reporting tool. Our setup is such that our web application is written in .NET and hosted on a web farm using IIS (5 or 6 depending on the environment). The product we purchased runs under Apache Tomcat/5.5.23 using 1.5.0_12-b04. The product is integrated into our web portal using frames and sending URL requests to Apache. We are running into issues with javascript code from the product generating errors for what I suspect may be related to crossing domains (our web site and the Apache server). I figure I can resolve this by generating a proxy on the IIS server to handle the request to the Apache server. My question is does anyone have any pointers on how to setup this type of proxy?

RE: IIS redirect to Apache
Martin, To clarify our setup, our site receives the initial HTTP request and the application server in question is IIS and the site is written in ASP.NET. Some of the pages that will be served will include a frame that hosts pages from this product hosted by Tomcat on another server. The current configuration is such that the product invokes some javascript on the client and the javascript is generating errors preventing the pages from working properly. The vendor states that this is due to security issues with the javascript executing across domains and the way to fix this is to implement a proxy from IIS that redirects the request (I'm assuming server side but I'm not sure) to the Tomcat webapp. I'm looking to see if anyone else has any experience they could lend in creating a proxy from IIS that redirects a request to a Java webapp hosted by Tomcat on another physical server. My understanding is I will then be able to reference the URL and make it look like it's part of the domain running in IIS instead of formatting another URL in the form of http://servername:port/webapp/repository.

It produces web server plugins to connect the most important web servers directly to Tomcat via a special protocol named AJP. Tomcat has an incoming AJP connector built-in. The Tomcat connectors include Apache httpd modules as well as an IIS ISAPI plugin and a Netscape/Sun NSAPI plugin. So you would need to download http://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi an appropriate binary of the IIS plugin, configure and include the plugin correctly for your IIS to establish a reverse proxy function for your IIS. The most recent version of the plugin is 1.2.25. The Tomcat connectors website http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/ contains documentation. The IIS plugin documentation might not be the best part of it, but in case you get stuck, you can post more specific questions to this list.

I have performed some Google searches and even searched through some of the archives but was unable to find anything specific to this situation. Any pointers or a push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. FYI - Even at the Windows command prompt, if I type java -version I receive this error: Error occurred during initialization of VM java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object Same error, different cause so I'm not completely sure if this is even related to the Tomcat installation, rather possibly some odd situation that was encountered when the JDK was installed. Thanks, Tony
