Mavenizing tomcat..
Hi everyone, As Costin mentioned on the commons-dev list, is that a real test for maven would be mavenizing tomcat (tomcat-connectors would be cool too btw..). Since I am volunteering and don't have commit access (and now for a whle not fulltime tomcatting anymroe) , I want to ask for some support when needed (and testing) and commiting of the project.xml and the maven.xml when I get an initial build running.. I'll hope to get started near the end of the week on this.. Mvgr, Martin BTW mavezing it, doens't mean replacing the current build,xml ! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Mavenizing tomcat..
Almost Beta 5. It just has undergone a major refactor from b4 and has really progressed in the mean time. Currently commons is completely mavenezied to get rid of the bugs that may be around and probably to solve shortcomings still found before b5 is released.

No, you don't find out quickly if you don't know what you're doing and you're
newish to web programming. You only find out if you've got a good knowledge
of web browsers and you realise that although path is optional, the majority
of browsers ignore it in some cases. For example, this problem only occurs if
a Cookie will be deleted (setting maxAge to 0) and it has no path. Even the
best web programmers will take some time to figure out that's wrong.
Therefore although a default is a bad idea, a warning should be provided
clearly in the logs that you've not provided a path, and although the
wishy-washy (noone takes any notice of) spec says that's ok, most browsers
will totally ignore it.
Therefore you've just made many developers very happy with you for providing
such a sensible warning.

Optional. The Path attribute specifies the subset of URLs to which

But as IE/Moz/Konqueror (anyone else fancy trying some others?) ignore

would it be more useful to provide a default in some way so it isn't

The chances of getting all those three to stick to the spec are low ;-)

even a warning in the logs that your code is not likely to work?
Of course, normally I'd say follow the spec, but sadly if your target

Actually I believe the W3C spec says the path will default to
directory
the pages resides in. So that page /hello/greeting.jsp will have
/hello as the path. Only files under /hello can read the
cookie.
Atleast that's my understanding of how cookie path is supposed to be
set. Some one correct me if I am wrong.
Well a reliable source tells me that there is no w3c spec for
Cookies,
and infact the concept was conjured by Netscape. There is an RFC
spec for
Cookies, but it's largely ignored.
So as the useful browsers out there ignore Cookie requests without a
path, it might be handy to add it by default so other people don't
spend
an hour or two sitting there thinking Why doesn't this work?. The
current context path would be handy, so the response code could look
like
this:
public void addCookie(Cookie c)
{
// whatever
if (c.getPath() == null)
c.setPath(getContextPath());
// etc
}
Just a thought :)

I know this ;-) But I'd forgotten to put the / there, and assumed
the

don't,
so I was suggesting that if a Cookie has no path set then one

the form:
Set-Cookie: someName=someValue; expires
and due to the lack of a path, every browser ignores it.

Pier +1'ed it. And whoever got -1'ed (sorry forgot your name), was pretty cool about it.. (+100 on that response btw..) Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't like it either to get -1'ed, although there were good reasons from Pier's perspective. When he got enough convincing arguments, he did a +1..

Re: Vicious Abuse?
Costin, Having hierarchies of 'people can only code' and 'people who lead' is not freedom. Creating a group that is 'more equal than the others' and taking away the right to vote to those we believe don't care is not freedom. Maybe I missed something, but who as actually talking about people who lead? Those non committing members will probably lead in there area (sysadmins, legal stuff, or whatever you can think of) and they don't care about projects at all, unless it involves their area. I must add that I don't exactly know how this is handled right now, but I guess if you want to put the jsdk on the tomcat site, you will get someone -1'ing because of legal issues. I don't care about those issues, so let people take care of what they are good at (in your case tomcat..) Wouldn't it be great to just say oh, let's cc , and let him/her figure out it this is legal) and get back to focus on what really is important. That person you are cc'ing could be a pro-deo lawyer and really wants to be involved in the jakarta commity, but cannot be a member, because he is not part of a project? You will get laught hard at if you will start a vote to let this person be a committer, but it is better to start a vote that he becomes a member, because he is contributing to legal issues on jakarta. People like to belong to something, you cannot say to people : we'll drain your brain, but you are not an essential part of this comminity! even though he is. The logical consequence will be he will disconnect the brain drain and will not help us out anymore. Is this such a bad idea ?

mod_webapp webapp-info static ?
Hi, Looks like the /webapp-info is behaving like a static webpage, created at startup of apache. If you eg stop tomcat and do a refresh on the webapp-info all applications are still set to deployed. If you start apache and after that tomcat eg the examples webapp is not deployed and also not available via apache. Is this intended behavior, undesirable behaviour but apache doesn't allow dynamic allocation of new interceptors, is it forgotten or is it bug (in the last 2 cases, I will file one..), or is it just me behaving not like everyone should behave ?

RE: Tomcat before Apache
Pier, I won't make commercials anymore for running as root, just to keep you happy.. Maybe adding some extra info to the mod_jk.html howto about accesability of the 8007 and 8009 ports if you don't change the defaults (you have to specifically tell to only accept requests from address 127.0.0.1. Switching that address thing in the standard distro' will improve security a lot.. telnetting to those ports is a big security risk for your webapp (at least in my point of view..). Since people don't read their entire config files all the time (me included btw..) and isn't mentioned in the mod_jk-howto.html (the one in cvs..) and other documentation it's better to deliver it a bit more secure then it is delivered now.. (talking about tc 33 now, didn't check the other tc's for those docs and problems). If you say it is written in some kind of hidden doc somewhere (server.xml is not a doc) then that is really not sufficient enough to point out to people that they have a potiential big problem when they don't change those settings.. (it just says if you want to bind it to a specific network interface blahblah..) Maby I'm wrong about this, then just let me know.. Please flame me if I missed something obvious , but a grep -r address didn't give me any info on security issues involved in not setting that thing.. Let's try to be a LITTLE BIT security conscious here... Maby your just having a bad day?? Let's start with the security tomcat can give by default instead of wining about os security administration.. My answer in tomcat-user explicitely is pretty self explaining : Please tell me what is dangerous about running tomcat as root? I've taken the following security measures : port 8007 and 8009 is blocked from the outside (firewall) tomcat is not running on 8080 and only allowing communications from localhost (127.0.0.1). The only potential problem is that if a tomcat /apache bug is exploited, you potentially have a problem. Maby combining a little bit of the input a lot of people gave will end up in a more secure tomcat and some nice docs.. JUST saying that your gonna flame everybody who says that running tomcat as root isn't bad is saying to a soccer goalkeeper it is ok to let the ball through, because the net protects the other team from scoring.. If the keeper knows the rules a bit better he will try to catch the ball anyway (=protecting the Interceptors). When he didn't catch 20 balls, he is probably gonna train a bit more and get fimiliar witch catching the ball (=su ing processes). A nice little story about soccer ;-)) Mvgr, Martin

Exception when hitting stop on slow servlet..
Hi,
Just got an exception on a slow servlet and probably hit stop on the right
moment, because it didn't happen anymore after that, so this one is easy to
mis..

snap (horrible to manually type this).
The exception doesn't end up in a log file and only goes to the console and
the exception is correct ;)). Maby catching and logging it would look a bit
better, so for that reason (cannot test btw, since I cannot reproduce it
anymore, ehh after 15 minutes of stopping request I gave up..) I added a
little bit of catching and tried to add logging, but the log(blah) didn't
compile anymore..
Also I don't know if this change fuckes up the rest and must be caught at
the Interceptor..
Hope this is usefull, if not : I've tried ;))

Hi, Just keep in mind that a big system was designed without REAL i18n in mind, so there are better solutions to storing the data. We have a 2 part system : one which allowes multiple encodings to be used (eg an english web user-interface, where you can edit data in a localized manner). Because of that we have to use UTF-8 for this system. The other system is showing the result of system 1 localised (so not mixed as system 1). Everything is stored as text databases on the file system using the java default encoding of ISO-8859-1 (even greek text), which works great for system 2 (just set the appropiate charset in the request header and everything works well.) System 1 doesn't have problems with this either, until we want to save data.. It comes in encoded as UTF-8 and needs to be written to disk as ISO-8859-1 (1000's of files are set up like this and converting those is too much impact right now) What I need is to convert the parameter from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-whatever.. As an example 2 headers : (extracted with getReader and read()..) this is greek text entered in ie.. the ISO-8859-1 encoding isotext=%EB%E5%F0%F4%EF%EC%DD%F1%E5%E9%E5%F2 the UTF-8 encoding utf8text=%CE%BB%CE%B5%CF%80%CF%84%CE%BF%CE%BC%CE%AD%CF%81%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%B5% CF%82 from ISO to UTF is not a problem, but from UTF-8 to IS0-8859-whatever is not working.. so I want to get convert utf8text to have the same value as with isotext.. Does anyone know how to handle this conversion or know where to find a class / source that can do this conversion? Hope it makes any sense what I'm asking TIA Mvgr, Martin
RE: Nightly builds for 3.3
A bit of concern here.. I'm working constantly with 3.3 cvs version and have a lot of classloader issues and class context reloading issues.. (the lot means : it happens a lot..) Some are solved by moving the jar file to the root lib dir (didn't find the time to get a nice reproductions scenario yet, to see if a fix works). The class ,eh actually context reloading, issue is in bugzilla and didn't get around to fix that either. Reproducing it is for now only possible in our very big webapp. (reloading the context after a certain number of servlets is loaded will give state not ready for one servlet, which, you probably guessed already, our main entry point in the system). In short : How long do I have to fix the problems and from who can I get some help for these class(re)loading issues?

I'll try to do that, the sourceforge build machines seems nice ( but I'll have to do some tricks ), or I could use my home machine ( which seems to be faster anyway ). This isn't a big deal, most development in the 3.3 main tree has been completed, the code is stable and in beta. The only thing that's going to change are modules - but mod_jk and ajp14 were not included in the nightly, and all modules I'm working on are just add-ons. As previously discussed, 3.3 core can be considered frozen, we're doing the final reviews to make sure it'll be able to handle any kinds of modules. Testing 3.3 with those add-on modules is important, and that's where I'll focus. Testing 3.3 basic every few hours is no longer that important. Costin

1) How hard would it be to remove the !(*.bat) files from /bin for .zip builds, and the same for the .gz builds !(*.sh)? Might make it a bit less confusing for people to see less files in there. As we're working with Java here - lots of us out here tend to work on multiple platforms (personally I switch back and forward all day between W2K and Linux) so: a) I'd like to get everything for multiplatform work in one go. b) When offered the same files compressed multiple ways I always just go for the smallest - I don't equate .gz with just UNIX (WinZip handles tar and gz just fine, and I have bzip, bzip2 for windows and unzip for UNIX). completely +1 on keeping it the way it is.. I do the same as you (at least for building tomcat, I switch around a lot..) Mvgr, Martin
RE: ehh small problem context/servlet reloading
Me again with some more info on the issue below. The following happens : When I do a specific scenario of servlet access then replace a servlet and start-up our login servlet I get the 503 error. The servlet has status 0 and should have status 3 (according to my debugging. All the other servlets are still working (to a certain point, because most of them depend on the servlet I am calling after the context is reloaded). I've been turning on debugging, added my own logging etc,etc.. But still I cannot find where the actual status of Request is set for that specific servlet, after the reloading that is. Can someone please help me in where to exactly look for this, because I cannot find it anymore. Didn't see anyone complain about this problem yet, so I like to fix it ;-)). I'm using tc33 from cvs btw To bad my debugger is horrible else it would be a little bit easier. Every The problem doesn't occur when : I call servlet A go to B goto C replace B and goto A again. (reloading is ok) The problem occurs when : I call servlet A go to B goto C goto D replace B and goto A again. (these are just my servlets, didn't test another scenario yet, I first wanted to find the problem ;-) Hope you guys can help to help me fix the bug and learn more about the internals of tomcat..

RE: System hangs after 2-3 hours of use
I had (on linux rh 6 and 7). What's the exact problem with mod_jk and ajp12 ? Couldn't you switch to tomcat 3.2.3 and ajp13 ? Exactly the same configuration here in dev and prod. Redhat 6.x, TC 3.2.3/3.3 and mod_jk / ajp13 Never go any problems then we have to switch to ajp13 (not in a rush though, mod_jserv is working fine now) Never thought about that option actually. We used the default ajp (in our case indeed ajp12) which was with the distribution. (from the conf-auto). Let's say our experience was horrible with it ;-) I can remember a big discussion on tomcat-user however with a lot of people having the same problems (I unsubscribed at a certain moment, so I lost if it ever got fixed). Problems with ajp13 ? It's the reference today and all the effort are against mod_jk/ajp13 duo. I don't see bugs using ajp13. They could have had the same bug.. So it was safer to swith back to mod_jserv.. What happens after a certain amount of time is that libhttpd.ep is at 50% (times 4, we have 2 cpu's in the production server..). It still served requests, but It was like having my Sinclair ZX 81 running windows NT -(( (that is really bad..).

RE: tomcat docs mailinglists..
I created a few mailinglist on my server tomcatdocs.isallineed.org , to send notes for tomcat documentation to. This is just to gather all the notes on a specific subject to make documentation from. -1. They should have been created on an apache.org server. I thought : make stuff available to make the docs gathering process easier, especially for things that are just notes and not really docs and as I said : it is not replacement for the apache.org mailinglist, if it is ever gonna be there. Question : the -1 is for what actually? Or is it a +1 to let me setup this stuff on an apache server (I'll be happy to do that too..)

RE: tomcat docs mailinglists..
Question : the -1 is for what actually? Using your lists. I'm not going to subscribe. Me neither.. It's just for gathering notes.. You can subscribe if you want to, but the intention is to just request (or parse if possible) the messages to construct docs from in a later stage. So once a month (or whenever) I collect the information in the lists and try to incorporate it into the created docs on tomccat-docs (or whatever its name is gonna be). So not subscribing is intended use ;-). BTW where can I find Anakia (not that I looked heavily for it though..)..

DOC: Re: Vote on oustanding doc issues?
On the topic of a new mailing list: I think we can do the next steps inside the tomcat-dev list or on our own. (BTW, let's use DOC: as a prefix so it's easier to scan for new messages.) I want to do this in full view of the rest of the community, mostly so they can see what's going on and volunteer to contribute. I prefer [DOC] btw.. replying to a doc issue with DOC: removes the DOC: entry. (at least in outlook). (Martin's notes-gathering list is a good idea, but I think a bit premature, given issues like what the topics are and what format they need to be in. I definitely don't want substantive discussion to happen on his lists (see prior para.)) The lists are not for discussion and especially not these discussions.. They should contain notes! Good idea, a hey, mail to one of the lists (you don't have to be a member). The format needs to be discussed indeed. My proposal on that wasn't really usefull and too complicated. on these two things? Are we ready to do that yet? I don't want to rush it. Better do it correct the first time. 1) Tomcat documentation per-project or in a single repository? (Personally, I'm leaning towards yes on all 3, but I'm not quite sure.) I agree completely. Don't think we must start this in a current cvs root. 2) What is the format (XML, *Book, HTML, etc.) of the documentation source? If XML, what DTD? I propose that we do *NOT* try to answer this yet, or maybe ever. Instead, I propose anarchy: that the Table Of Contents be maintained in a convenient text-editable format. It will contain links to doc files (sections or guides or chapters) that are files in whatever format they're in. I imagine that it will eventually be most convenient to use Anakia, but for now, it means that we don't have to worry about rewriting useful docs that are already in HTML. The main parts and main chapters in seperate subdirs at first? Generating a default output at a certain point is not too bad though. But we have to be open enough for people who want to convert this to eg man pages or a nice pdf. Organizing the TOC and and assigning volunteer authors to write parts is much more important than file format right now. I already volunteerd for the gathering notes ;) Once we know these two things, we can get to work. Of course there will be discussion on these points, but I'd like to bring them to a close sooner than later, so we can keep moving on with things like the TOC. We can work on the TOC independently of resolving those other issues. As long everything is stays flexible enough, we don't want to spend 80% of our time in generating docs in whatever format. In the beginning we probably will only be complementry to current documentation until we are grown up enough to be the source for documentation on tomcat releases. This leaves room for experimenting with what works best. A vote on a seperate mailinglist for discussing doc issues would be appreciated though. It's getting a lot of discussion already and this will grow in the near future I think (and hope..). This way we don't miss any of the important non-docs specific stuff. Mvgr, Martin
tomcat docs mailinglists..
Hi, I created a few mailinglist on my server tomcatdocs.isallineed.org , to send notes for tomcat documentation to. This is just to gather all the notes on a specific subject to make documentation from. Why did I do this? If I fixed something or got something running, found an issue while upgrading etc,etc, you don't have the time to write everything down. The information is present in your gray mass upstairs, but if you need to create documentation you cannot remember that specific little thing anymore. I normally start notepad, type it in and save it to be never found again. If you just write an e-mail to eg [EMAIL PROTECTED], it will be stored, so your grandchildren can still enjoy your knowledge and other people (maby me, or someone else who wants to do it), can gather that information once in a while and update the docs, faq, tips,etc,etc... Hope not only me and Thomas Bezdicek like the idea, but other people too.. These mailinglist are not a replacement for a future mailinglist on apache on tomcat documentation (if it is gonna be created), so it's not a discussion forum (I will make one if someone thinks that it is usefull). Suggestions for the subject line : tomcatversion (if applicable) eg T4.0B5 other details devided by a - eg. -windows-upgrade-tc33 subject : the subject of the note If someone has a better idea or a format that is better parseable to a faq or documentation, please let me know, so I can write that parser ;-) For now I created the following mailinglists : connectors dev faq install tips users See http://tomcatdocs.isallineed.org if you don't have a clue where to put your note.. Just mail to mailinglistname@tomcatdocs.isallineed.org subsribing can be done with : mailinglistname[EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribing can be done with mailinglistname[EMAIL PROTECTED] You don't have to subscribe to the mailinglist to send mails to that list (and it is not moderated at the moment, but I will check once a week or something to see if there is rubbish in the mailinglist). Hope it is usefull and else : why not use it anyway. Mvgr, Martin van den Bemt

Redirect to empty
Hi, In jserv when you did a resp.sendRedirect(); you get an empty page. Since then this has changed and it is very annoying behaviour, because this redirect redirects to itself without any parameters. Since our urls are (thank god!) not hardcoded, but freely configurable, it could be that people make a mistake, which can lead to a horrible hit on your server (that servlet redirects when certain conditions are met and those conditions are allways met when no parameters are provided, so you get an infinite loop in redirecting.

We have for all developers apache + tomcat running on different ports. (7401, 7501, 7601 and 7701).

Ways of Debugging tomcat itself..
Hi, Maby this question has been asked before, but I'm looking for a good way to debug tomcat itself (not taling about servlets in specific). The environment i'm using now is netbeans 3.2. Does anyone have tips on how to debug tomcat (except for logging to the console, that one I know..). I would love to have an opinion / your experience with this. Doesn't matter which environment you use or how you debug, it may be interesting to put this in a document. If there is already some nice info on this, please also let me know..

the ssi mediator
Hi, I've been browsing through the util package (catalaina/src/share/org/apache/catalina/util/* ) for my preperation of writing tests. I came acros the SsiMediator. All the ssi commands created there override SsiMediator and SsiMediator adds all the commands to a hashtable of the commands. Isn't it wiser to set up a ssicommands.properties with eg : config=org.apache.blah.blah And make a instance from that class depending on that properties file. This will make it more flexible and the compile dependencies on each ssi command are gone.. Don't if this stuff is actualy used in tomcat 4 (and how to use it), but just an idea.. We could also do this for the server variables (don't know if this is subject to change though... I'm happy to do the rewrite if I can test this ;-). Mvgr, Martin van den Bemt

This is only when using tomcat through apache, on port 80 it's working fine. So if you do : http://servername/examples/ You get a nice directory listing. After you click on servlets, you will get the exception. If you just type http://servername/examples/servlets/index.html then everything is ok and you can process the servlets.. Mvgr, Martin
Version control in tomcat 4...
Hi, I just installed tomcat 4 and some things are looking good (didn't deploy my current applications yet under tomcat 4), but one of the big issues when running a server that must be online 24 hours a day, is upgrading the server with new classes / configs etc. The current stable tomcat doesn't reload stuff correctly all the time and tomcat 4 solves these problems (at least that is my understandig from the docs). I would like to take a step further : using a tomcat internal version control system, so that you can go back to the previous version(s) of your webapplication without any trouble. Lets first point out the perfect world scenario (the it supposed to be, or reasons why the above idea is bad ) : - You're code should always be tested (ahum...) - You should write test cases (eg jUnit) - You should do integration tests on a separate server, to see if everything is still ok. - You shouldn't write buggy code (ahum..) - Version control is in CVS.. Now the arguments that support my version control wish : - We're humans and make mistakes (which can be deadly on a production server) - Version control in CVS is limited and too much time consuming - All scenarios can be tested, but if you have eg 2000 shops running at the same time and all the shops have been made under a different release and changed in different releases, it's hard to test that (it is possible, but very time consuming). - If you can go back with a press on the button scenario, the customers are happy again. - Better possibilties for remote managament of servers and version control (not all our customers give us the access to eg telnet, which makes it harder to use cvs amd ant for this). If I missed some reading and this is on the list to be done, let me know :-) Do you (=the developers) like that idea? I would be happy to invest time in this (to build it), but I never peeked at the source before, so I don't know yet what I'm volunteering for... Mvgr, Martin
RE: Version control in tomcat 4...
Hi Graig, It's hard to know how to answer that question, because I'm not quite sure what you're proposing. Let me try a few assumptions about what you're suggesting and make some comments on them: My writing can get unclear at certain moments. While I'm typing, most of the time I'm already thinking of 2 lines ahead ;-)).. VERSION CONTROL ON YOUR OWN WEBAPPS. This makes a lot of sense, but doesn't directly involve Tomcat. I would suggest looking at how you could use the Manager webapp to undeploy and redeploy applications on the fly, without having to restart Tomcat. It should be feasible to script this. This is what I was looking for.. Scenario : We're at version 1.5 of our webapp We install it on all the servers, but on some servers we want to just still run 1.3, but also have available there the 1.5 version of the system. At an agreed moment with the customer we switch to the new version (or schedule the switching of version in the night). This way were able to put the latest stuff on all the server and without actually directly have to worry about upgrading the system at that moment and worrying : what is running where and can we upgrade there, etc,etc.. Even possibilities of running rules for the upgrade (eg we need to update al the shop configuration files) and downgrade where possible. So : - Upgrade to a version without actually using it at the time of the upgrade - Upgrade through a scheduler or downgrade / rollback. - Being able to write rules for upgrading / downgrading a system (we can have some default rules, like Downgrade not possible. - Do it remotely (which is possible via the Manager, as I understood). - Also (the rules can be used for this) is release management for content not served by tomcat, but eg by apache. (we serve pictures, javascript and dtd's on apache for speed). Volunteering for this I think ;-)) VERSION CONTROL TO AUTOMATICALLY SWITCH TOMCAT VERSIONS. nah.. let's not do this one.. WRITE UNIT TESTS FOR TOMCAT. If you are volunteering to write JUnit based unit tests for the server side components of Tomcat, your contributions would be very welcome. I would like to see us begin doing this. Is very good for me probably to start learning about tomcat 4 (how it's build) and jUnit.. (I didn't dig into that yet). Any suggestions/examples on this part are appreciated.. (where to start, what needs to be tested (functionality..), what to look out for, etc). Volunteering for this first ;-)).. WRITE UNIT TESTS FOR WEB APPS. http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/cactus/). Have it, but don't use it yet.. Some tests on the default webapps in tomcat 4 should also be made? Mvgr, Martin
