Re: ldap authentication with tomcat

[Boris Niyazov]

Depending on your requirements you may want to create a auth servlet that 
authenticates users to ldap server using for ex netscape's ldapjdk package or 
JDNI classes, and then keep users login in the session object. All you protected 
servlets/jsps should assert the session checking if user's info is in the 
session.

Another option: to use JNDIRealm, but I can't advise on this b/c I never used 
it.

If you have the same versions of jre/jdk on both platforms there shouldn't be 
any problems.

that means that the apache was not running. At boot you should have

to the $TOMCAT_HOME/servlet.log if you defined one in server.xml, for ex:

I recall Jserv also provides log method so you could specify a log file in its

That would make sense to do only if your run tomcat in a combination with a 
webserver (apache, etc) not in a standalone mode. You can create a CGI script 
that runs start/shutdown tomcat scripts. There is a security concern though: you 
should make sure only valid users can do this.

You probably need j2sdk (you can grab one for solaris on sun's website). It has 
development tools like tools.jar in its lib folder. Make sure you JAVA_HOME is

Re: How to increase debug reporting?

[Boris Niyazov]

in server.xml modify Logger elements. To specify log file use path attribute:




this will redirect tomcat msgs to file $TOMCAT_HOME/logs/tomcat.log.

Also in "Context" element you can specify different debug levels for your 
paticular webapp using debug=number. Somebody already posted the levels on the 
mailing list:

Level 0
   Errors and states that cause a significant change in program flow.  
   => Anything that causes a Discon+Retry or a "giveup" message.

Level 1
   Important or inaccessible state information.
   => Connection start, Idle disconnection.

Level 2
   Rare things that cause a minor program flow adjustment.
   => No REST, No PASV, etc.

Level 3
   Errors and useful messages that are slightly too verbose or common
   for 0-2 or don't quite fit in the classifications.
   => Login banner

Level 4
   All remote responses or major results. (Trace results)
   => All "999 Xyzzy" responses received.

Level 5
   All remote commands or major tasks. (Trace jobs)
   => All commands sent to server.

Level 6
   General information that will not be too verbose but is normally a
   little less important. (Trace state)

Level 7
   Similar to level 3 but verbose or not as useful.

Level 8
   Very verbose information that'll probably be useful sometime.

Level 9
   Anything and everything else, debugs that probably won't be useful
   ever again.(unclassified)

Re: request for suggestions on how to secure a web application....

[Boris Niyazov]

I'm not sure whether it'll work for you but you can assert current session on 
each jsp page that you want to protect  (assuming you store user login info in 
the session) and throw an exception in case the object is not found in the 
session, then the exception can be caught by an error jsp page.

Re: Tomcat memory-leak problem

[Boris Niyazov]

Well, GC releases memory used by JVM, but statements and RS can be unrelesed on 
the db level (depending on db engine), so if your db resides on the same box 
then eventually you gonna have memory problems on the box.

Re: Simple startup question.

[Boris Niyazov]

It's up to you. You can modify your S85httpd to include starting tomcat or 
create another script like S95tomcat that starts tomcat. Depending on how you 
configured apache-tomcat you may want to start tomcat before starting apache. If 
you do not rely on dynamicaly tomcat generated configs then I think it does not 
matter what starts first.

Re: can run tomcat on linux & servlets but not jsp's

[Boris Niyazov]

You should not put your webapps classes in the system classpath. Tomcat startup 
script builds classpath dynamically based on content of $TOMCAT_HOME/lib, etc. 
Unset you CLASSPATH and try to start tomcat. Should help.

Re: Reloading

[Boris Niyazov]

Hi Hector,

This question has been asked several times and it seems nobody wants to answer 
it. I did ask similar question too a couple months ago with the same result :-(
I do not think I know the exact answer, but from my experience I see the 
following.
1. classes must be in WEB-INF/classes in order to be reloaded (Tomcat doc)
2. reloading is experimental feature and there is no guarantee that clases other 
than servlets will be reloaded.
3. one can see intermittent problems with class reloading in tomcat (I 
personally use 3.2.1) even if condition 1 is true.
 
I am not sure how tomcat reloading is implemented but it seems that reloading 
problems happens if the class to be reloaded keeps a reference to an existing 
object. In our case it happens during some exceptions that are not properly 
handled by developers (for ex, due to sql errors db connection is not returned 
to a pool or not closed). Then the object is not destroyed during reloading. 
Making code clean like proper releasing resorses avoids relaoding problems in 
our case.

Try to look at your code and make sure your servlets close all references 
properly especially when there are exceptions.

Re: Problem running servlets on Apache/Tomcat

[Boris Niyazov]

If you use packages as jar files you should place them ether in 
WEB-INF/classes/lib (for a particular webapp) or $TOMCAT_HOME/lib. The latter 
will assure that all your webapps will have access to the classes in the jar.

RE:TOMCAT LOG FILE BEHAVIOUR

[Boris Niyazov]

It's a feature. I'm not sure what you can do on NT but on unix we have written a 
script that moves all logs in an archive and then restarts tomcat. You may want 
to modify your tomcat startup.bat script to add this functionality.

Re: JSP / JavaBean problem

[Boris Niyazov]

According to JSP specs if you're attemting to initialize a bean property from a 
request parameter that does not exist or is defined as an empty value then 
 command has no effect: the tag is just ignored. More exactly 
(from the JSP 1.1 spec):
"If the param is not set in the Request object, or if it has the value of "", 
the jsp:setProperty element has no effect (a noop)"

As the error msg says you probably do not have the module (mod_jserv or mod_jk)

Re: mysteriously dying connections (Oracle <-> tomcat)

Make sure your developers properly close resultsets and statements. It could be 
that they remain open after exceptions. Make sure you have the closing 
statements in the finally section of try/catch/finally.

Re: start up tomcat from a virtual terminal

[Boris Niyazov]

Are you closing the window w/o logging out first?  Logout appropriately, using 
"exit" command or "Ctrl/D", and then close the window if you need to. The reason 
is that Tomcat writes to stdout/stderr.

I'd make tomcat start first and then apache, especialy in case when apache

Re: Compile ??

[Boris Niyazov]

.jsp files under \webapps\yourapp\WEB-INF\jsp ? 
I do not think you should put your jsps in there. WEB-INF shouldn't be 
accessable from web directly and should contain classes, packages and 
configuration files only.

you can put your jsps anywere in \webapps\yourapp\ outside WEB-INF folder.

Re: How to avoid messages spamming?

[Boris Niyazov]

Configure tomcat to log into a file. In your server.xml specify the log file, 
for ex:



Messages will be redirected to tomcat.log

Re: How can I make tomcat to instantiate a class

[Boris Niyazov]

We use a database connection pool class which is a servlet that we start on 
tomcat boot using the following in the application's web.xml. You may want to do 
something like this:



   conn_pool


   your_servlet


poolConf
path_to_config_file


 1

Re: Where to Place Bean files

Beans should reside in WEB-INF/classes, so in you case (assuming the bean belong 
to package jsp) in 

F:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\manish\WEB-INF\classes\jsp

Re: Server Beans Classes WEB-INF

[Boris Niyazov]

When you compile your jsp look where the jsp is trying to look for the been. 
Place the been in the appropriate subdirectory of WEB-INF/classes. You may need 
to package the beans.

Re: What is the value of auto-assigning beans?

[Boris Niyazov]

1. setProperty in jsp does not have any effect if the value is empty string.  
2. you use scope session

So when set A it stores it in the session bean, next time when you set B with no 
A, B gets set in the bean and A remains the same (session scope).

Re: Changing default servlet url

[Boris Niyazov]

You may want to use redirect in your web server config:

Redirect /dir1 http://hostname/dir1/servlet/servletname

but be aware of the problem with redirecting POSTS: it could not work, 
especially if you use absolute pathes instead of relative in your servlets.

Re: JSP Tomcat

[Boris Niyazov]

Could be other reasons:
 
1. your bean may not be autoreloaded after you change it.
2. if your bean does not close properly statements after using them, they still 
refer to old one.

Re: error message logging

[Boris Niyazov]

Look at server.xml: you can specify a log file for Loger name=tc_log, that where 
tomcat will redirect its logs insetad of console. Is it what you want?

Re: session timeout

[Boris Niyazov]

you're right, John: units, of course, are minutes ... it doesn't make sense that 
the default config for session timeout in tomcat is half a minute...
I don not know why my hands were typing seconds while I was thinking about 
minutes ...:-)

Thanks for the correction.

Re: auto reload not working

[Boris Niyazov]

General question - general answer:

Servlet classes located in webapps/app/WEB_INF are supposed to be reloaded after 
recompilation. According to tomcat docs auto reloading is experimental feature, 
there is no guarantee that other classes will be reloaded even if you have 
auto-reloading turned on.

Re: JDK1.3 ?

[Boris Niyazov]

make sure tomcat knows the path to the class: place the corresponding jar file 
(parser.jar) in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib.

Re: The "servlet" prefix

[Boris Niyazov]

Why wouldn't you want to create a redirect? For ex for apache you can use:

Redirect /servlet_app http://www.foo.com/servlet_app/servlet

Re: ClassCastException when passing a list of Beans to JSP page

[Boris Niyazov]

Does this happen when you change you beans? If you have jsps that use the beans 
with session scope then modifying the bean can cause this, especally if session 
object remains in the memory... Restarting your browser should also help.

RE: Tomcat & SSL

[Boris Niyazov]

I see a little misunderstanding here. Apache with mod_ssl or apache-ssl module 
uses ssl connection with http clients. The communication between apache and the 
servlet container is done via ajpXX protocol that can be secure or not. As I 
understand ajp12 (that mod_jserv uses) does not support SSL while ajp13 (that 
mod_jk uses) does. 
So, if apache and the servlet container are residing on the same box, one can 
use apache-ssl with mod_jserv or tomcat+ajp12 and be secure (that what we do 
here). When using communication between apache and the servlet container is done 
via net, one should probably use ajp13, meaning tomcat+mod_jk.

This is my 2 cents

Create a new directory "myweb" under $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps, make similar 
structure that examples has. Restart tomcat.

Re: [tc3.3] configuring logging

[Boris Niyazov]

Read JSP spec. You should use application.log(...) in your JSP pages.

Re: Where does System.out.println go under Tomcat

[Boris Niyazov]

use application.log method in your jsp pages to log msgs into servlet.log.

Re: Reloading Servlets

[Boris Niyazov]

Do not reboot. Just shutdown and restart tomcat. In 3.2.1 release notes it's 
said that reloading classes is experimental feature and is not garanteed to work 
100%. I have similar problems with reloading my beans. Nobody answered my 
question so far, so I tend to beleive the doc is right: reloading does not work 
all the time.

Beans do not get reloaded

[Boris Niyazov]

Hi there,

I have Tomcat 3.2.1, Java SDK 1.3.0 installed on Solaris 7 machine.

I am having intermittent problems with beans reloading. It seems that sometimes 
the beans are not reloaded after the compilation, and the jsp page is referecing 
the old version of the bean. I have to restart tomcat in order for it to reload 
the beans.

Again I can't find a pattern when this happens but it does happen. I'm not sure 
whether it's a memory leak or I am missing something. 

Any help/hint will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
