Domino Tomcat Redirector
I'm the current maintainer of the Domino Tomcat redirector but I haven't had time to do any work on it for the last year or so and I can't see that situation improving any time soon. I've made a couple of attempts to contact someone at IBM who might be interested in providing some (minimal) support without any success. Accordingly I'd like to pass the reigns to someone else so if anyone's interested could they contact me please.

jk2: dependencies between logger.file and workerEnv
I've just produce a non-Windows version of the DSAPI (Lotus Domino)
connector and I had a bit of a struggle getting the initialisation code
right because of co-dependencies between workerEnv and logger.file. It
seems that logger.file needs workerEnv to exist for it to initialise
itself but the workerEnv initialisation code expects a logger to exist.
I've ended up with workerEnv initialisation logging to an uninitialised
file logger which results in log output being sent to stdout. Not
terribly satisfactory but it allows the connector to load.
jk_logger_file.c can easily be doctored to remove the dependency on
workerEnv but it would then lose the ability to expand named properties
in the passed in filename (like: ${serverRoot}/logs/jk2.log).
Any thoughts on the nicest way to fix it? I don't mind implementing a
fix but I don't want to make unpalatable changes to the common jk2 code.

I remember a thread in January about duplicates in 4.1.18 Duplicate session IDs are *common*, but can't find anything in the bug database. Does anyone know if this ever was a problem or is still a problem in 4.1.24? What puzzles me is the relatively small number of concurrent users which cause this to happen.

A race condition in the session recycling code had been identified in 4.1.18, which could cause that (one session object could have been added more than once in the recycled session list). As a result, session recycling was disabled in 4.1.24 (and is removed from 5.0.x). No such issue has been found in 4.1.24, and we haven't had any report on such a behavior since 4.1.24 was released six months ago. I recommend you investigate more.

About to update the DSAPI connector,
Hello All, A little while ago I did a DSAPI (Domino's version of ISAPI) filter that allowed TC 3 to work quite happily with Lotus Domino. After a protracted period in which I haven't updated it I now, finally, have the time to produce a new version. Last time I started with the ISAPI (IIS) code and worked from there - I think I'll probably do the same this time. Just for kicks I thought I'd get IIS and the ISAPI filter working with a production Tomcat here - I like to start a project with something that's working even if I can claim no credit for it - but to be honest I'm finding it hard to work out which ISAPI DLL I need for a recent production Tomcat 4.1.27 - just basic stuff like what source does what. Now, I'm sure this is just an RTFM but I've spent the last couple of hours RVFM and none of them thus far has yielded anything like a comprehensive understanding of which bits I need and how I configure them. I'll need the source soon enough but at the moment I can't even find the isapi_redirector2.dll. Oh, I have a working TC 4.1.27 so that's something :) Anyway, shields up - by all means tell me I'm being stupid but the impression I'm forming is that the support for web servers other than Apache is in some slight disarray.

RE: Problem displaying accents in Tomcat
There are two issues with character encoding. Firstly the charset used by Jasper for jsp source files, this is set in Tomcat web.xml. The default is UTF-8 and will effect jsp source files with special characters. From what I gather this isn't the problem, and only really causes a problem with far-eastern charsets or where the OS does not support UTF-8. The second is the HTTP Content Type. If you don't set this in a jsp/servlet your text including unicode characters fetched from the db will not be displayed properly ie using non-unicode ascii charset. If you aren't setting the ContentType, you will need to either with a tag: %@ page contentType=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 % or code: % response.setContentType(text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1); % Why it worked before withou setting the content type I don't know, but I hope that setting the content type as above solves your problem. -Original Message- From: Manuel Gonzalez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 June 2003 12:50 To: Tomcat Developers List Subject: Re: Problem displaying accents in Tomcat Yes, your asumptsion is right.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Split the repo's
Jon Scott Stevens wrote: After JSR053 was formed and dependencies were added to the Servlet API from the JSP API, it became clear that this was a bad thing. It was ok to have the JSP API rely on the Servlet API, but not the other way around. The reason for this is because many people choose to use the Servlet API without wanting anything to do with JSP. As part of this realization, the next versions of JSP and the Servlet API were defined as separate JSR's in the JCP. http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/152.jsp http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/154.jsp A vote was cast on the tomcat-dev list that suggested a proposal for Tomcat 5.0. It was unclear to myself and others that this also included combining the CVS repositories for the Servlet API and the JSP API and disrespecting the fact that there are two separate JSR's. Therefore, I'm asking for another vote to split the CVS repositories to represent the split JSR's and adapt the build system of the JSP repository to have a dependency on the Servlet repository, but not the other way around. It is ok to also have the JSP build system generate a single .jar file with both the Servlet api and JSP api included.

Running tomcat as an embedded servlet engine
My apologies from cross posting this to the users list. Only afterwards did I realise it really a developer question as it involves coding... Im trying to run Tomcat in an embedded fashion (ie started from a main() in our program ), with a single servlet. Im using the Embedded.java class in Catalina, but am having trouble configuring it so that my single servlet answers on port 8080. The sample code in main in Embedded.java doesnt really have an example for a servlet. Has anyone else tried to do this (run an embedded servlet engine without swathes of configuration files)?

Error Starting Tomcat 4.0.1 in AIX
Hi All, I've been installed tomcat 4.0.3 for windows successfully. But, now when i try to install tomcat 4.0.3 in AIX, i can start the Tomcat ... but with some error message. I've tried to debug it, but still i can't find why it happens. It's seemed from the error message, the Tomcat can't find the getResourcePaths method in the implementation class of javax.servlet.ServletContext (that is ApplicationContext). But, i've seen the source code of ApplicationContext and it contains this method. Does anyone has ever faced this problem before? Any suggestion is welcomed, and thanks in advance.

Subject: JAAS/Classloaders/Tomcat4
Hi,
I've been a bit confused after reading the classloader docs for Tomcat
4, the %CATALINA_HOME/lib %CATALINA_HOME/classes are accessed via the
shared classloader but the startup script sets certain jars from
%CATALINA_HOME/lib on the system classpath.
Actually, the system classpath constructed by the standard startup script
includes exactly the following things:
- $CATALINA_HOME/bin/bootstrap.jar
- $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar (if it exists)
- $JSSE_HOME/lib/{jcert,jnet,jsse}.jar (if they exist)
JAAS 1.0 requires login config and login modules to be on the system
classpath so to that end I have put jaas.jar to %CATALINA_HOME/lib and
added it to the classpath used in catalina.(sh|bat).
You should *not* be doing both of these things -- either put it on the
classpath *or* put it in $CATALINA_HOME/lib.
Have you tried putting JAAS in the System Extensions directory instead
($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext)? This directory is automatically added above
the system class path.
There is no concept in Tomcat 4.0 of a system classes directory where
you can just dump the odd class as the classes directory is used by the
shared classloader.
In Tomcat 4.0, the directory $CATALINA_HOME/classes is added to the
shared classloader if it exists at startup time. This would contain
unJARed classes and resources, analogous to /WEB-INF/classes within a
webapp.
I gather the shared classpath will be renamed 'shared/lib + classes' in
4.1 but wouldn't it be useful if the catalina startup script set the
classpath to all the jars in %CATALINA_HOME/lib and
%CATALINA_HOME/classes. At least this way no modifications need to be
done to the startup scripts and JAAS login modules can just be dropped
into the system classes directory as needed.
Tomcat 3.2 used the technique of actually modifying the system class path.
Unfortunately, it causes platform specific problems, especially on Windows
where there are limits on the overall length of an environment variable,
and lots of strange restrictions on building an environment variable
dynamically in the script. In addition, editing the class path manually
has historically been the source of a very high percentage of newbie user
errors. The current approach that Tomcat takes (build class loaders
internally based on the contents of directories) is much more reliable and
less error prone.
Please try putting the JAAS stuff in the system extensions directory and
see if that does the trick for you.

It would be so cool to be able to have at least a base code on which to work on, as Colin gratefully donated his code for NSAPI. Regarding a long-term plan, I heard Costin and Henri talking about refactorying the JK connector APIs, and using APR, but that actually nothing is ready yet (correct me if I'm wrong)... My alleged thought right now goes to a big input in terms of API design from the JK guys, I believe (but that's my personal feeling) that if a major redesign needs to be done in JK land, we can use some of the bases put in place by WebApp and especially APR, to come out with maybe a new/revised improved APR-based module... Let me know your thoughts... Urm. I'm keen to be guided by people who have a better overview of where connectors are headed in general and what needs doing really. My priority is to make sure the current Domino/JK connector works OK with TC4.0. Once that's nailed I'm open to suggestions.

Re: Tomcat source archive corrupt?
Most likely it's a line ending issue. Visual Studio can't handle .dsp/.dsw files with Unix line endings -- you can fix it by editing the file in a proper text editor and changing the line endings.

Actually, version 6 silently fails, but VC 7 (aka VS.NET) warns that the .dsp file is corrupt. It doesn't matter if I use WinZip or the Java 'jar' tool to unzip the archive.

Re: Sources in Binary Distributions
Fabien Le Floc'h wrote: As a tomcat user, I am not so enthousiast about your idea of removing the sources from the binaries. Almost every user download only the binaries. Having the sources inside means bringing more developers to the Tomcat project, just because it will be easier to take a look at the sources (since it is already installed in their tomcat dir). The more you look at the sources, the more you are likely to be involved. The sources are only about 2MB and 1 directory. It is anything but a mess on the harddisk. Furthermore it is the exact sources for the particular binary the user has, not some more recent or older sources. I'm not sure I agree with forcing the user to take the source as some sort of evangelical device, but this last point is well made I think. I've encountered more than one case of someone new to Tomcat in particular and Open Source in general being confused about the relationship between the source and binary versions. While you might argue that they should damn well RTFM, I can see value in tying the source and binary versions together to avoid a bit of confusion. -- Andy Armstrong, Tagish
Different approach to TC as a service (was: Separating Service code from Tomcat 4.0)

For the Domino connector I took a slightly different approach: the Domino connector can optionally be configured to start Tomcat when it loads. This has a number of benefits including * simplified installation * assurance that Tomcat starts and stops at the right time relative to the web server's lifecycle * conceptually portable By conceptually portable I mean that while the code in the connector to implement Tomcat startup and shutdown isn't the same for all platforms the concept of running Tomcat in that way is -- you can safely assume that whatever the platform the admin has already arranged for the web server to start automatically if that's what they want, and the arrangements for starting Tomcat at the same time are essentially the same across all platforms. It would be easy enough to add the same functionality to the other connectors. This is a simple solution for all platforms in all cases except the one where you want to have Tomcat autostart in stand-alone mode, and I would assume that that's a relatively rare requirement.

Re: Tomcat Documentation Project
+1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Leaving aside the issue of file format for just one second... Are we agreed on the following? 1. Tomcat documentation sucks :-) 2. There needs to be a new CVS project called jakarta-tomcat-doc. My reasoning is that we want to avoid the fragmentation of documentation into different trees for 3.2, 3.3, and 4.0. Why? Because a lot of documentation would apply equally to all versions. Looking at it in reverse, the fact that someone is using an old version of Tomcat shouldn't mean they're forced to use an old version of the documentation. Instead, a chapter on, say, web application deployment may need to have a sidebar describing changes between 3.x and 4.x, but assuming 4.x isn't *radically* different, they can both use the same core text. (In cases where 4.x *is* radically different, it would just have a separate document/chapter, with the 4.x specificity clearly labelled in the title.) I know the 4.x crew have begun the process of creating a separate documentation set, including xdocs, and this is great. If it's too much work to integrate 3.x and 4.x then maybe they should remain separate CVS projects too, but it may still be desirable to have a separate CVS project anyway. 3. There needs to be a better index/TOC for the documentation we do have, and a reorganization of the redundant / outdated / wrong parts of the existing docs (the Apache config stuff comes to mind). 4. Someone or some small group of people should take responsibility for making this happen (before we run out of steam), regularly submitting proposals and keeping the rest of the group apprised of developments and decisions, but retaining some authority. Let's call this person/people the Documentation Czar. I'm not proposing he/they have any real authority over the content, but just over organizing it, deciding where to place it, and forming to do lists for documents/chapters that need to be written or proofed or tech edited or revised. If we agree on the above, then there's a good chance I'd volunteer to be the Doc Czar, even though I think it's a lot of work.

Re: mod_jk configuration
Can we broaden this out to all connectors? At the moment the IIS connector has stuff in the registry, the Domino connector has stuff either in the registry or in an INI file (depending on platform). It's all a bit messy really. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The goals: 1. Full support for all the settings in web.xml. Right now the generated config fragment is incomplete, security configs are not generated, neither welcome files. 2. As easy as possible for the admin. The user should install the .so/.dll, add few lines in httpd.conf, and get a running system. No further configuration should be needed ( when you add a context for example ). 3. Support manual override. We can't expect the automatic config to resolve all the needs, only the common use case. A smart apache admin with a complex site might want to fine-tune the system. A complex load balancing site might also want to do advanced settings. 4. Fit into a bigger view - we want to extend the solution with more features and integrate it into the /admin or some other tools. Possible solution: 1. Start by using the same mapping as in webapp, i.e. mount the context and have all the requests served by tomcat. 2. Stop generating the current set of files but only uri_workers.properties ( which is equivalent with mount directives, only simpler and consistent for all supported web servers ) 3. For some webapps it should be possible to generate a better mapping, by including all the rules - but if we can't generate something equivalent with web.xml, we'll fall back to (2). 4. Fix the problem that was pointed by Dirk, i.e. allow explicit mappings in httpd.conf ( that set handler to script/jakarta ). This will be the override mode, with explicit settings in the config files. 5. For ajp14, add a set of classes to represent the configuration and the handler that will send it when the server connects. 6. (optional) Extend the current config generator to automatically edit httpd.conf and include the Include statements I'm still working on a longer term solution that could address more compex configurations and user tunning ( like server pools, special settings for security integration, etc ). Note that we already plan some extensions to ajp14 to support chunks of static content ( discussed mostly in jasper34 threads I think ), and this will extend very well for static files ( and reduce the problem that static files are served by tomcat intead of apache ). The extension will send the file name ( and offsets ) instead of the actual chunk, reducing the wire transfer and letting apache handle the static content ( assuming it is big enough ). This will be great for jasper, but also for static files. Also note that this is a temporary solution ( for static files ), until we figure out a way to map web.xml into apache, iis, nes, aol, domino ( or at least jk ) configurations.

For now I've commented out the lines in question, which I don't think will break anything, but to incorporate that change fully in the Domino connector I had to make some non trivial changes to the code to defer initialisation of the worker map until the first request is seen by the connector. I think I'd have to do the same thing with the IIS connector to make it work (basically the problem is that Henri's code is looking for the name of the server which isn't available either from IIS or from Domino until you're inside a real request). I've update worker open() proc to have this information at init/validate time. If we couldn't have this information at init time, we'll have a problem with autoconf support since we NEED to log to servlet-engine BEFORE processing any REQUEST since we MUST GRAB all the URI the remote tomcat could handle For the Domino connector (which sees /every/ request the server gets remember) I do the init in the first request the filter sees, which is early enough to catch even the case where that first request should be routed to Tomcat. I don't think this should make any difference from Tomcat's point of view. The only reason for doing it this way is to be able to fill in worker_env.server_name. The name of the server isn't available either with IIS or Domino until the first request passes through the filter. Thanks for any information on init stage !!! -- Andy Armstrong, Tagish
Re: Anyone know why the ISAPI redirector works how it does?
OK, I've done a bit more digging. From what I've read about ISAPI it seems that thread exhaustion can be a problem both for filters /and/ extensions[1]. The advice on this page /is/ to avoid filters, but I assume that's just because filters will be invoked for every request -- unfortunately that's unavoidable for the Tomcat connector because we need to see every request in case Tomcat can handle it. So, currently we have a filter that delegates to an extension, both in the same DLL. If extensions execute in a different thread pool from filters it's possible that this helps performance, but it's not clear from the MS documentation that this is the case. What MS do specifically say is that, in cases where a filter or extension may block for any length of time the blocking part should run in a seperate thread so that IIS doesn't get thread starved -- this makes sense, and suggests that the correct performance oriented architecture for the IIS connector should be a filter (with an optimized 'straight throw' path) which delegates Tomcat requests not to an ISAPI extension but to a worker thread taken from a pool that is internal to the connector. This is more complex than what I had in mind, but I'm prepared to give it a try. Before I do, does anyone have any empirical evidence about what works best with IIS?

I am curious though, what it takes to cause the thread starvation in a normal environment (what ever that is). Adding the complexity of a thread pool will slow down processing by some amount in the non-starved case. For the case where thread starvation is occurring, it stands to reason that we have *lots* of requests and lots more requests and threads than processors to throwing more threads probably won't improve the throughput for Tomcat requests. It might improve the throughput for the static pages served by IIS directly since those requests won't be stuck behind potentially long running servlet requests, but then only if those long running threads are blocked on I/O. Basically, throwing threads at a problem usually doesn't do much for performance. Still, I'd be interested to see how this experiment effects performance. Yeah, well I'm not entirely convinced myself. I'm guessing, from what I've read on the MS site, that IIS actually runs with quite a small, fixed size, pool of threads and relies on its ability to serve static content very quickly to ensure that this is adequate. As soon as you start executing (relatively) slow requests in threads from this pool you end up with most of the threads blocked. That's my reading anyway -- I might do some experiments to find out how many distinct threads IIS is using before I do anything else. I am prepared to believe that if IIS is tightly optimized for static content and runs with a thread pool that is only just large enough for its normal needs that this might be the case, though, like you, I'm a little sceptical.

Hmm. Well, surprisingly, according to this page[1] the default thread pool size for IIS is 10 times the number of processors and the server doesn't do anything adaptive with this number though it can be changed in the registry. This number does seem surprisingly low -- I can see how, in cases where the server was handling a lot of traffic of which some was being delegated to Tomcat there could be starvation.

Marc Saegesser wrote: Again, threads don't improve performance, in fact they degrade performance and on some platforms (namely, Windows) they can degrade performance very quickly. Context switching between threads on Win32 is *really, really* expensive (several hundred instructions in kernel space). Without processors to back up the threads you can just end up wasting cycles switching between threads and not accomplishing real work. Yes, understood. What surprised me was that it wouldn't dynamically throw new threads in the pool in the specific case where lots of threads where blocked which is what I assume happens quite a lot in a typical webserver -- Tomcat interaction. Extra threads are only compute intensive when they get scheduled -- if most of them are sleeping then they're relatively cheap. Of course it turns out, as I read more, than IIS /can/ dynamically throw new threads in the pool in that eventuality. I think the only way to bottom this out is for me to write some code to test it, but I do understand that more threads != more speed in the general case. I'm still unconvinced though that the current filter + extension connector architecture is likely to be any better than a filter only implementation on the basis of what I've read about the internals of IIS. Time to stop talking and start experimenting I think ;-) -- Andy Armstrong, Tagish

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm a new, late starter on this thread... My understanding is that IIS runs about 15 threads and for filters it runs it on one of the threads, and for extension procs it uses the model defined in the application setup of the virtual directory (Low [iis thread], Medium [pool thread], High [isolated, app specific threads]). From what I can see of the Tomcat code, because it has the Filter and Extension call backs in the same DLL it will always default to Low (ie. as a filter). My understanding is that the best way to do the IIS/Tomcat integration is tricky - but worth it. You would: o Have a separate filter to do the absolute minimum to check whether the URI is for a Servlet - this would run on the IIS thread and then direct it to the Exension Proc. o Have a separate DLL implementing the extension proc and have it run in the High protection model. o In the extension proc you would implement the asynch call back model where in simple terms IIS passes the call to the Tomcat DLL, the Tomcat DLL then has its own pool of threads to process the request by releasing the IIS thread and holding a ref to a callback sig function so that when Tomcat has finished it sigs back to IIS that it is complete and IIS then takes over again. This is the way ASP works and makes sure you never get the dreaded Server Busy response back to the client because the scarce IIS threads are exhausted. Apart from that, I haven't thought about it ;-) Not much ;-) I'm surprised that it can choose which thread to use for filters -- is it not the case that filters are just called in the context of whichever thread is handling a particular request? I seem to be committed now to finding out empirically what's going on inside IIS and which approach will yield the best performance, both for requests delegated to Tomcat and for everything else the server's doing. I'll be sure to try the approach you suggest -- it certainly sounds reasonable. -- Andy Armstrong, Tagish
