Re: Multipart Request
You either have to stop using ActionForm or go in and rewrite the code on multiparts. The existing code is really sloppy and bad. There are references that do nothing. Others do things they shouldn't do, etc. Essentially, you really should avoid using it and write your own implementation of the commons implementation. Unfortunately, Martin Cooper has his finger in both pies and really does not play with others on this. He just keeps it to himself pretty much. If you want to get a snapshot before the next unrehearsed release, better do it now. On 10/9/05, Dhiren Bhatia [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yea, I'm using Struts.

Re: The amazingly slow performance of JSP (profiler results)
You have to be and are comparing apples and oranges, Kevin, because
JSP *is* Java. DOH! It cannot run slower than what it is. You
probably are comparing just running a Java method like setFoo(String
foo) { this.foo = foo; } where the parameter foo has the value bar.
But, this is really misleading. The simple code you write with
c:set var=foo value=bar/ in fact is just as complex as what you
see and have provided in your email. So, if you want to compare, you
have to do all that the code you see as *ugly* does. If you don't
want to do all that, don't. But, that is not a problem with JSP and
JSP is not a dog if used properly. That's all I have to say about
that.

Re: The amazingly slow performance of JSP (profiler results)
Whether he is precompiling or not, Peng, and I know that is important,
he is still comparing applies and oranges. Further, he is comparing

not give the same infrastructure accounting, apparently. The whole

Re: The amazingly slow performance of JSP (profiler results)
I agree with this. There really is *not* a lot of code in what Kevin showed us, because the page code has to be there whether you have one or 500 invocations, tags, on the page. This just makes it look large because all the setup is attributed to one measely little tag.

The performance you see is the result of JSTL using more memory. It will obviously use more CPU and make more API calls. However, it does not allocate any objects, but instead will reuse per page objects (which is very fast). So overall, it sounds weird to me that the bottleneck would be on tag invocation. In the end, it's hard to beat a Java if with a generic high level construct ;) I don't understand how anyone could be surprised by that. Back in 2002, I wrote several pages using JSP + java and JSP + JSTL to measure the actual cost of from a performance perspective. The performance difference isn't noticeable if a page has less than 50 tags. With 200+ tags, the performance difference does range from 2-5x slower for JSTL. It's worse when you use XML with JSTL. It's also one of the reasons I like to use JSTL + XML to benchmark. It really gives the VM a workout. have you tried running JRockit 5? I did some tests recently and JRockit's memory management might give you a 2x improvement in performance.

I don't run on Windows so I can't test it. If you look in the catalina.bat you will see the comments at the top talking about the variables.

Hi, again, Frank, Where can I get a copy of the code/binaries for Java Service Manager (the update of Tomcat Service Manager)? I went to this site but there seems to be no reference to any downloads.

Re: Accessing images through FrontController Servlet
You are right that a call for an image, or css for that matter, is another call to the server. And, this call is really not anything special, except that it returns a stream. If you want to get a response from a URL, then you have to follow the rules in doing this. If you instead want to get a response from a protocol, like using a servlet, then you have different rules. There is nothing really magical going on. Why are you using this init business?

Re: Can a servlet receive its own request?
Requests from from a browser or any other suitable socket based mechanism that sends requests. Servlets and servers don't send requests, although you can have a client in a server that does send requests. You could, I suppose, even build a request making mechanism inside a servlet or as a field for a servlet. But, that does not mean the servlet is making the request qua Servlet. Servlets handle requests and return responses. Responses are not requests. Responses tend to be HTML and requests are name value pairs and streams.

For that job, Apache relies on cgi and php, while Tomcat relies on Servlets and JSP, both based on Java. Unless you have a good reason to switch to Apache, you should stick to Tomcat. Ah, okay. The only reason we were considering switching to Apache was to possibly improve the performance of our Java applet.

When I do the same thing with a dynamic image and forward to a page with a

Subject: Serving files using tomcat
Hi,
I have been looking around and haven't found a solution that works
basically I have a PDF that gets created dynamically. Now to save memory I
have the PDF written to a file rather than a ByteArray. The only way I can
be sure that I wont encounter errors creating the file is to use
File.createTempFile. The creation goes of ok. And I have checked the file
itself and the PDF looks great.
How do i now serve this to the user who has requested it. If I try to
write
it to the response (using the same method I use to creare dynamic image,
this works), it just shows up a blank screen.
The problem also is, even if it did show the PDF, acrobat, to my
understand
will read only chunks of the stream and will go pack to get more. Thisis a
problem because there is nothing to go back for.
So the point,
If I can just redirect the browser to a file in the tomcat temp directory
(can I do that, will the use have access to that directory), then how do I
translate the location of the temp directory to a url that is accesible
outside.
If not then what other suggestions can people give me.
Thanks in advance
Steve

Re: Dynamic to static conversion
There is no reason I can think of to build static pages dynamically. I know what you are asying, but it makes little sense, I think. However, if you want to get the static equivalent of a dynamic page, all you have to do is to build a little application browser which gets the output of your pages and saves them. You can get the code for doing this pretty much from the COS message classes. Jack On 4/29/05, Dola Woolfe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, A friend of mine has asked me to help him build an eBay store.

How could a tag work without reflection?
For example, if you use any of the expression-language features, how is
Tomcat supposed to react to, say,
${request.somvar.something}
without dynamic invocation?
I'm not sure about this mechanism but if you take a function like:
c:set var=test value=${foo:bar()} /
and rewrite it to use
c:set var=test
foo:bar/
/c:set
Then it won't use reflection.
This is why c:set and c:choose and so forth work so well.
There isn't a perf penalty here.
So this means I'll have to rewrite all my function calls to elements
that are in tight loops.
There's also no reason that it MUST use reflection. I mean its a CODE
generator so all you have to do is generate code that doesn't use
reflection and calls the methods directly.
There.s about a .5ms overhead for reflected functions and if you have
1000 on a page (EASY!) then it will be DOG slow.
While I doubt you could make Tomcat not use reflection (without
completely hacking the source) perhaps you could share more details of
what you're doing... that may give the rest of us insight to help you
trim the bottlenecks more. i.e. you mention lots of looping and
tag nesting; is there any way to change how that's done?
Well I think I'm going to have to review all forms of code that cause
this and rewrite them.
The BIGGEST problem as I currently see it is with .tag files. These use
reflection but I can't figure out a way to rewrite them.
I think if i were to do this it would yield DRAMATIC performance
improvements.
The REAL issue is that enabling developers to shoot themselves in the
foot like this is really irresponsible and probably needs to be removed
or a HUGE warning be placed before examples.

The ActionErrors object is passed from the ,ain JSP to the modal dialog box JSP by storing it in the session object. The dialog code then fishes out the ActionErrors object and loops through the errors, displaying each one. Most of the time this works fine. However occasionally the session object that is used by the caller (i.e. the JSP) and the dialog are not the same instance. i.e. The ActionErrors Object is stored in session X but the modal dialog JSP uses session Y. I was surprised by this to put it mildly. I thought the session had to be the same. If I restart TC having cleared out the work dir it all seem OK again. Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: Tomcat rookie needs help building application
First of all, welcome to the wonderful, wacky world of Java web programming. Second, Tomcat is the server that serves up your application. You are so new it is hard to tell what you know and don't know. Do you know the basic structure a web application must have in Tomcat including where web.xml is, whre the WEB-INF is, etc.? Third, you seem to be focusing on compiling classes, right? Tomcat does not build or compile web applications for you. Tomcat serves up the applications that are already running. Many times you have a development Tomcat server on which you run your applications so that you can easily test the applications. Different people have different levels of experience doing different things regarding compiling. The best thing you can do to learn about class compiling and loading is to learn all about CLASSPATH and ClassLoaders in Java. Then you can choose what to do, such as use Ant for compiling your classes, etc. Fourth, you might want to think about using a standard web framework at the start to assist your building a web application. A web framework, like Struts, codes some things you would have to do for yourself anyway. You can take the time it would take you to write all that framework code to pick out a good one that is pre-built for you. So, don't worry if it takes a little time.

I think the worst case is 22 versus 32, Frank. with 10 images. See your note and then my reasoning below that. snip Even if it's all done in the most efficient way, those ten requests look, for all intents and purposes, like 10 simultaneous USERS (assuming 1 request per user). So, maybe your app server can handle 100 concurrent requests... If the web server was allowed to serve the images, your app server still has 100 slots available to service requests, which corresponds generally to 100 concurrent users... If it's serving 10 images for each physical user though, now you can only service 10 concurrent users, so you've reduced your overall server capacity (as viewed by outside clients) by 90%. Ouch.

For example, we could have img src='http://blahblahblah.com/ResourceAction.do?file=whatever.gif' Doing this, if we are talking about serving images to a large-scale site, we could get rid of both the WS and the AS and use a SCS (small custom server) optimized for this situation. I do this sort of thing constantly, *sub rosa*, on my sites. This is probably quicker than using WS to serve the images, and certainly so if the images are in any way dynamic in nature and if we make use of the multithreading opportunities that crop up in this situation.

snip The question that's in my mind though is what happens when you have a web server in front of Tomcat? Just rendering to the response in a servlet might not be enough in that case... /snip *Before* ResourceAction returns null, the response output stream has been written, flushed, and closed. The only thing that the app server or the web server have left to deal with is that null. There is no wrapper in this case and no proxy in the sense you are talking.

Re: JSP under /WEB-INF folder PROTOCOL PAGES (ProtocolPages)
Well, I sure got excited, though. Back to reality! ;-) snip What I was getting at is the fact that if I return a page to the browser that have ten images, all referencing ResourceAction, what's happening is that the browser is making ten separate requests TO THE APP SERVER, whereas in a typical setup, these requests would be handled by the fronting web servers. It's clearly more resource-intensive in your approach. /snip I am not clear what part of the process you are referring to, Frank. We both agree that the first delivery of the page is via the front server (I tend to only use the back server anyway). If there are ten calls to ten images, as you assume for discussion purposes, then there will be ten calls either way. I think you are saying that in addition there will be a penalty of a pass to a server that can handle Servlets or an equivalent technology that will respond to the ProtocolPage by routing the call to some Action, Command, or whatever in some language, in the way I suggest. Is that right? If so, let me know and we will go from there after you confirm. snip Agreed. I do see the advantage of this approach, but it's the minuses I'm more concerned with. No matter which way you slice it, there's more server resources being utilized. That's a big minus when your talking about scalability. /snip I wouild need, as you would too I assume, more information on the actual penalty. I suspect that it is relatively small and, when you introduce sophisticated state and caching options, it may be faster. I don't dismiss what you are saying. Don't get me wrong. I just have learned to get the data and then to see what the real difference is. When considering costs and so on, I am not sure whether the balance goes to which side. I would suspect, from my experience, that software maintenance and so on would clearly outweigh the hardware and associated requirements. snip I think you point out some valid advantages... if nothing else, just doing away with having to deal with URLs is a very good thing. But I think the performance hit, and certainly the server load, in a typical Enterprise environment, would make this not a great idea. /snip I am surprised at this. You may be right, but my sense is that this difference is not really that important when everything else is taken into account. Even if you had to cluster multiple machines instead of one, say, as a ratio, that would seem to be *probably* cheaper as a GUESS. I don't know. We could look at some data and if you have any handy I would love to see it. snip Then again, I say the exact same thing about ASP.Net and JSF because the whole idea of calling a server for relatively simple UI events strikes me as a horrible idea until we have far better networks than we have today, and I seem to be in the minority there, so if I might be wrong there, I might be wrong here too :) /snip I think the bigger hit is reading the danged thing.

[OT] Re: reading encoded JPEG Stream
From the code you sent me privately, I suspect that the problem is that you are using Java code which does not encode JPEGs to do so, viz. ImageIO, although I don't know if the licensing on that has yet led to a change.. To make sure what is happening, I would have to see more of your ImageViewer servlet which is named com.dynamic.servlet.ImageViewer. The problem seems to be on line 304 in sendJpeg(...). I don't know if this is your code or not. Let me know. At any rate, I have changed the subject to OT as I am reasonably sure that this is not a Tomcat issue.

Re: What is it mean that Java code does not belong in well designed JSP pages?
There are lots of reasons why this is not the way to code JSPs, Dola. Let's start with one: REUSABILITY. If I can read between the lines in your code, you are essentially using these classes to write HTML in sort of a Tiles way. This is clearly a good thing and your ideas might be really worthwhile. That is not at issue in what I have to say. I am also not, at the moment, talking about the %= whatever % expression code, but rather only the % whatever % scriptlet code. You don't use %! whatever %. declaration code. The only way to reuse the code you wrote is to copy and paste. (Often this is called cut and paste which makes no sense.) If you consolidated and generalized the code off the page in some, say, Process class, then you could have something like %= Process().process([whatever]) % where whatever represents what is peculiar to this page alone and what is common to all like pages is included in the off-JSP-page Process process method code. If you only made this change, then your page person, which might be the same person, would only have to write %= Process.process([whatever]) % on each page and would not have to write the code elsewhere either because that would already have been abstracted and done. If we cannot all agree this is progress, then we probably cannot agree on the whole idea of getting code off the page at all. I also like what Tim had to say because he recognizes that sometimes we have to write the particular code and abstract later as a business decision. However, he does it in a way that recognizes that adhering as close to the principles of OOP as possible will make the later transition easy when duplicating code becomes an issue. I hope this helps. Let me say that I find that the principles of OOP can be defended and need not be adhered to out of blind faith. It is better to find out what is up than to just follow the dictates of whomever. Once again, good question. I hope this engenders a long and useful thread. If it did, we could save a lot of ink on the list.

Re: Including jsp files that exist outside of the web application
I cannot understand your situation. If you use the include directive, then the JAVA Servlet file will include the info in the JSP file which is included. If you use the include element, then the included JSP file will have its own separate JAVA Servlet file. Accordingly, the include element requires a JAVA Servlet file to be loaded with a class loader. So, you must be using JSP files that are edited outside the web application and then inserted into the web application, where they are then compiled and included via reference by other Servlets. Right? I am not sure what the problem is with overwriting. I am also not sure what you mean by them existing outside the web application. If by being edited outside and included in a web application is what you mean by existing outside, what is the problem? Sorry to be dark, but this is a mysterious discussion to me.

Re: Including jsp files that exist outside of the web application
What if you don't include the JSP file but include the related JAVA file and use CLASSPATH? Will that work? You cannot, of course, make this dynamic, since you have class loader issues. The biggest issue is the class loader issue. You might create a set of interfaces and implemenations outside your web application that allow dynamic reloading.

Re: How to run servlet for every 30 minutes in Tomcat 4.1.30
The minimum thread priority is 1, maximum is 10 and medium or normal is 5. See: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/constant-values.html#java.lang.Thread.NORM_PRIORITY You can set a good neighbor poilicy with MIN_PRIORITY.

Zammetti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dennis Payne wrote: Frank, I'm using threads and didn't know I was vulnerable. I'm not sure vulnerable is really the right word, but I'll go with it :) Here's how I've done it. I created a class that implements runnable and call its initialize method from a servlet init method at application startup. The initialize method creates a thread and sets a low priority for it. Roughly what I do too, except that my class extends Thread and I kick it off from a Struts plug-in. Same effect though. The run method sleeps the thread and wakes it every two minutes. A processing class contains the methods that queries the database (postgres). Same here. I think I wake my threads every minute though. 1. Is this what you call a daemon thread? Nope. If you take a peak at the javadocs for the Thread class, you'll see a method setDaemon(boolean). This marks a thread as a daemon thread. The difference, if I remember correctly, is that the JVM won't shut down until all remaining threads are daemon threads. Threfore, if you spawn a normal thread, you can hold up the JVM from shutting down properly. This is in fact the situation I had... My Tomcat instance could never be properly shut down because the threads I had spawned where not daemon threads. Marking them as such solved that problem. To the best of my knowledge, being a daemon thread doesn't implicitly say anything about a threads priority. I think you could have a daemon thread set at high priority if you wanted. I suspect most daemon threads are bumped to a lower priority though, as I do. 2. Is this better done using cron? if so how do I ensure that it runs with a lower priority than my application code? Phil This is a matter of opinion, and there are some reasonable arguments for both points of view. My personal opinion is that if you have some periodic process that is going to need portions of your system, whether it's resources available in the container or shared code, as you do, then a low-priority daemon thread spawned at application startup is a good approach, assuming you write it carefully and solidly. For instance, in my case, my daemon threads do some record aging in the database, so to me it makes sense to share the same connection pool as the application itself. I also use a number of classes and functions that are part of the webapp itself, and I don't like the idea of duplicating the code for a cron job to use (sure, could just be a matter of setting up a classpath to those classes, but it's an extra dependency, and that doesn't thrill me). But, if these tasks were volatile in any way, or they had to run independently of the app itself no matter what, the cron job approach would probably be preferable. As for ensuring it runs at a lower priority than your application code, when running via cron, that's an answer I can't give you. I'm frankly a Unix newbie, more or less, so someone else out there would be better suited to answer that. I think you'd have to have it run at a lower priority than your app server, and I'm sure there's switches to set priority of jobs, but I don't know them. -- Frank W.

Re: JSP under /WEB-INF folder
I don't know why you are saying that css and/or js must be placed directly under WebRoot. Why do you? I can give you various solutions, once I find out what the problem is supposed to be. There is no issue, by the way, with putting your JSP files under WEB-INF. There are other ways to protect access, but this is, I think, a good one too.

Re: How to run servlet for every 30 minutes in Tomcat 4.1.30
Use java.util.Timer and java.util.TimerTask. Create a Timer object.
Timer timer = new Timer(). Then create a TimerTask object. SomeTask
task = new SomeTasK().
private class SomeTask
extends TimerTask {
public void run() {
// do stuff
}
}
Schedule the task: timer.schedule(task, 10, 400). Wallah!
I do this all the time. You have to know what you are doing. If you
do, then do it. This is what the apps like Quartz do anyway. This is
just lightweight.

Re: How to run servlet for every 30 minutes in Tomcat 4.1.30
Hello, Shilpa, With Wade, I wonder what you want. Apparently you have a client making and order and being informed about the status of the order. You say you have to develop a client application which looks to the database. Since this is a Tomcat list, that would seem to be a server application?Maybe by client application you mean a server application to help clients? If you are using a web, browser, based application, then you have to wait for the client to check with you rather than send the status to the remote client. Blah, blah, blah. The point, I guess, is that you really need to say in more detail what you are doing. What does your client look like? Can you create a rich client? Etc.

Re: Display of Static Resources
Hello, Looks like you need to read an overview of how web based HTTP technology works. Essentially, in the typical and simple case, a request holding name/value pairs in a request object, HttpServletRequest in your case, and other information from the client makes a request and then your application either provides a static HTML page in the HttpServletResponse object or constructs an HTML page dynamically from an HttpServlet or a JSP page, which ultimately is a Servlet as well. Thus, a page never gets displayed and continues back to the servlet. The page only would return to the servlet if it has a refresh or something akin to that.

I have a feeling this is some sort of a Tomcat config issue. I am not able to figure what config it is and how to do the config. I looked at Web.xml both in the conf directory and webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF directory. I tried looking up the documentation in the Tomcat site and couldn't get much help. I am using XML for data from the server and XSL (and transformation) for generating the HTML. I don't think it has any impact, but just to complete the details, I am using Oracle Database with the Oracle Thin JDBC driver. Can someone help me solve this problem or point me to some reading material that I could refer to.

Re: Tomcat mailing list is full of non tomcat topics
Hi, Roberto, Understanding a problem before solving it is good policy, I think. If the problem is noise (and I don't thnk so) on the list, then maybe the following would be helpful. These attempts at monitoring the hallways are seemingly always the longest threads. I also don't believe the 30% figure. That does not come close to what I see. I would be surprised if that were not greatly inflated. I would like to see a percentage determination of the percentage of posts which are about the list and about other peoples' questions. I would bet that is fairly large. If we want to shorten lists, I would encourage people to give better information on their questions and to ask people to think about their answers. A quick perusal of the lists shows me that this is the biggest inflator of the list. Even the present question or statement is not going to end up with a thing happening. That is almost guaranteed. If real answers were given to real questions, presumably there would be many two email exchanges. These are not, I think, the norm. Anyway, if noise is a problem, then an analysis would be the way to go. What do you think? This is just my take, and I am probably full of monkey doo.

Re: Tomcat mailing list is full of non tomcat topics
The first thing I do when someone starts a thread about list noise is to run that persons name through my gmail search engine and see what their posts are like. I always find this to be revealing. Indeed, I run my own name through and get equally embarrassed about what an ass I can be. If we take an objective look at what expands traffic, both through sins of commission and omission, I think we will get surprising results. I have a suggestion that we expand the areas of non-Tomcat to the following: [OT] -- Off Topic [SA] -- Smart Ass threads with self-congratulatory replies to other peoples' questions which really are not meant to help as much as to deride. [HM] -- Hallway Monitor threads about the list and other people. Until people get used to these, the user should put in the Subject the explanation, e.g. [HM] -- Hallway Monitor -- blah blah. If this were done we could read less than 50% of the posts. Seriously, however, if we all look at our posts and see how helpful they are and how likely they are to contribute or to make worse list noise, I think that we would all be better off.

Service Not Starting Up with Start bar icon but only with a reboot
I built an application running in Tomcat 5.0 which starts up as a service. I built it on my laptop and it runs fine. When I shutdown Tomcat, I can just hit the icon on the Start menu and things start right up again. However, when I move this to a standalone machine it works when I start up the machine. And, if I stop Tomcat it shows that hitting the icon on the Start button starts up the service. However, hitting the icon won't start Tomcat. If I restart the machine it will restart Tomcat however. Any ideas? Do I need to provide any more information? There is nothing in the logs. Jack -- You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep. ~Native Proverb~ Each man is good in His sight.
