Re: Virtual hosts with standalone tomcat 5.5.9

how do you have mail.external.mysite.com set up in your dns?? Does it
point to the same IP as your tomcat server that mysite.com is hosted on?

Hey list,

I am trying to deploy a war file to tomcat 5.5.4 and naming the war file
ROOT.war and for some reason it is not getting deployed to / of the

 Hi there, 
 
 I am posting this in a few areas because I cannot pinpoint where the

 I have a standard Pentium III bases pc running linux. 
 
 It has only 380 meg (or therabouts) of ram 
 
 Using IBM JVM 1.4.1 and tomcat 4.1.18 (I know there are later version, but 
 
 they all hang) 
 
 I have 2 webapps running. One of them uses Apache to translate two 
 
 different domain to the right ibay for it's content but uses the same code 
 
 base. The second webapp is accessed, currently, using 
 
 http://www.mycomapny.com:8080/MyApp style URL. 
 
 The webapp just hangs. It will not load any pages, and when it hangs, both 
 
 webapps hang. So I think this is a Tomcat or Java or Linux error. Once the 
 
 hang occurs I cannot do a ps -ef as this also hangs. My only option is to 
 
 reboot the machine. But it hangs half way and has to be physically powered 
 
 off. We are going to put a new, more powerful computer in there, but for 
 
 now I wanted to see if anyone else had experienced such a problem. Can 
 
 you give me some pointers as to where to look for the source of the

 This has happened before, and I got no information about it. I know it's a 
 
 pretty vague explanation, but I don't know what more informationI can give 
 
 you. 
 
 The log files do not show any errors, and it never happens at the same

 in the web application. At first I thought it happen when concurrent users 
 
 logged in, but that's not the case either, and I have trimmed down the 
 
 sychornicity management when accesing Singletons in my web app. 
 
 Now I have been through all my code, and cannot find anything that should 
 
 be causing an error. I have run the code under a number of different

 everything runs without a problem.

RE: Wild Card Hosting

2005-03-25 Thread Drew Jorgenson
Woops, I don't think that will work with Tomcat since the
subdomain.mydomain.com would be passed to it and Tomcat won't know which
container it goes to.

The way I normally do this, is assign a static IP to a virtual host and
set the IP as one of its aliases. That way all wild card domains point
to the same container.

P.S. I will think about this a bit more since it is valid point, I
wouldn't want to give out all my static IPs just for the wild cards to

Re: Wild Card Hosting

2005-03-25 Thread Drew Jorgenson
That set-up would only work for specific subdomains, what George is
trying to accomplish I think is point any (wild card) subdomain to a
specific virtual host without the use of static IPs for each virtual
host.

Although George, if you only need this done for a few virtual hosts and
you have a few static IPs available, use them if you can.

This is what I do:

1. Set this in my DNS:

mydomain.comIN A 1.2.3.4
www.mydomain.comIN A 1.2.3.4
*IN A 1.2.3.4

2. Assign the static IP as an alias in my virtual host

Host name=www.mydomain.com 
Aliasmydomain.com/Alias
Alias1.2.3.4/Alias
.


I hope this helps solve your problem somewhat.


Drew.

Re: host tag in server.xml

2005-03-11 Thread Drew Jorgenson
Hey Michael,

The way I do it is first of all set the wildcard in the DNS config for
the domain and point it to a certain IP address, e.g.  * IN A 1.2.3.4

then I set up the virtual host in server.xml to contain the IP address
as an alias

  Host name=www.mydomain.com debug=0 appBase=mydomain.com
  unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true

Aliasmydomain.com/Alias
Alias1.2.3.4/Alias  
   
 Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger
directory=logs
prefix=localhost_log. suffix=.txt timestamp=true
/  
   
 !-- Tomcat Root Context --
 Context path= docBase=ROOT reloadable=true debug=0/
  /Host


Now, everytime that the IP 1.2.3.4 is invoked through the browser it
points to the mydomain.com container, so all subdomains that resolve
through the wildcard to this IP address will also point to that
container.

Of course the drawback to that is that you need a dedicated IP address
to your domain.


Drew.

Re: Very Straneg problem with MySQL-Connector

2005-02-24 Thread Drew Jorgenson
OK, the problem normally does not come from the driver, just try this:
from your freshly installed MySQL database, remove the test database and
also the test user from the database permissions table and from any
global user definitions, then flush-privileges and you should be ready
to go.

Drew.

 Hi everybody!
 I have a weird problem to use the MySQL-connector under Linux (Debian). I 
 heard it can come from Tomcat.
 I have no problem in windows XP, all is working fine ! 
 But under Linux when I try to connect to mysql throught mysql-connector wrote 
 in a Servlet I have this message :
 
 Message: Invalid authorization specification message from server: Access 
 denied for user 'root'@'monkinetwork' (using password: YES) 
 SQLState: 28000 
 ErrorCode: 1045 
 
 I am Using : Tomcat 5.0.28
 MySQL-Connector version is : mysql-connector-java-3.0.15-ga-bin.jar 
 
 JDK Version : 1_5_0_01. Servlet-Examples and JSP works fine! So I don't think 
 the problem come from JDK. 
 
 MySQL version : MySQL-SERVER-4.1.9-2 : All is working under console mode ! 
 
 Here's My Servlet TESt1.java: 
 
 
 Code: 
 
 
 import java.io.*; 
 import javax.servlet.*; 
 import javax.servlet.http.*; 
 import java.sql.*; 
 import java.sql.DriverManager; 
 
 public class TEST1 extends HttpServlet { 
 public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) 
 throws ServletException, IOException  { 
 
 response.setContentType(text/html); 
 PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); 
 
String url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/HeroDB; 
String user = root; 
String password = password; 
 
 try{ 
 Class.forName(com.mysql.jdbc.Driver); 
 out.println(br DRIVERS JDBC : OK!); 
 Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,password); 
 
 out.println(br Database connection : OK!); 
   
 } 
 catch (ClassNotFoundException e) 
   { 
  out.println(Error with JDBC Drivers !); 
   } 
 catch(SQLException ex) { 
 
 
 out.println(br ERROR MESSAGE br); 
while (ex != null) { 

 out.println(brMessage:  + ex.getMessage ()); 

 out.println(brSQLState:   + ex.getSQLState ()); 

 out.println(brErrorCode:   + ex.getErrorCode ()); 

 ex = ex.getNextException(); 
   out.println(); 
} 
 } 
 
 
 } 
 } 
  
 
 
 AND THE HTML PAGE in order to access to the Servlet :
 
 Code: 
 
 HTML 
 HEAD 
 TITLEDataBase Test/TITLE 
 /HEAD 
 BODY BGCOLOR=#FDF5E6 
 H2 ALIGN=CENTERDataBase TEST/H2

 CENTER 
 INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE = CONNEXION TEST 
 /CENTER 
 /FORM 
 
 /BODY 
 /HTML 
  
 Theses codes works very well under windows, but under linux system here what 
 I've got :
 
 DRIVERS JDBC : OK!
 ERROR MESSAGE
 Message: Invalid authorization specification message from server: Access 
 denied for user 'root'@'monkinetwork' (using password: YES) 
 SQLState: 28000 
 ErrorCode: 1045 
 
 Well, the web.xml file is well configured.
 
 Anyway : I already tried with class: org.gjt.mm.mysql.driver, but I have the 
 same message error ! 
 
 By the way, it's very strange that I can play with MySQL under the terminal 
 but not throught tomcat. 
 Any suggestions please , because it's giving me a very hard time ! ?
 Thank you !

Re: Can servlet mappings be done somewhere other than web.xml?

2005-02-22 Thread Drew Jorgenson
Looks like the invoker servlet is being used, which is declared in the
global web.xml file. The servlet-name and servlet-class that you see
are used to map a name to a servlet, which are all accessed through
/servlet/*

 I'm currently working on a legacy Tomcat 3.3 project that was developed

 fancy there. However, the webapp's web.xml file contains no
 servlet-mapping tags, but just the servlet-name and servlet-class
 tags. Is there another way in Tomcat to map URL's to servlets, either
 through a server configuration setting or some other global
 information contained in a conf/xml file that I'm not aware of? My
 problem isn't that the servlets aren't being accessed - they display
 content fine. I'm for now just trying to understand how Tomcat is
 associating the URL string with the actual servlet class since there is
 no servlet mapping being done in the web.xml file.
 
  
 
 The servlets themselves reside in jar files under CONTEXT/WEB-INF/lib.

Re: Shutdown not working under SLES8 and FC2

2005-02-09 Thread Drew Jorgenson
OK, guys, hate to bring this up again, but I found the cause for my
tomcat not shutting down. After upgrading to 5.5.4 I did not move all
virtual domains to the new container, while the server.xml still had all
the entries for the virtual domains I had in the previous setup. Tomcat
was not able to shut down because it was not able to find the virtual
domain directories and respective web.xml files.

  How to edit session timeout? Tomcat's default value is 30mins...
 
 Look in web.xml instead of server.xml. You can change it for the entire
 container, or on a per-webapp basis, depending on which web.xml you
 edit. 
 (Works for Tomcat 4.1, I haven't moved to 5 yet...)

tomcat setups

2005-01-07 Thread Drew Jorgenson
Hey guys,

I'm just trying to see how many clients/sessions you guys get Tomcat to
support at the same time, and what kind of setup did you have to
consider for each case (clustering, load balancing), I would like to be
able to support over 1000 users, is that possible with one instance of
Tomcat running? or would I have to resort to something else?
Thanks in advance for your comments!

Drew.
P.S. I'm considering the latest release of tomcat and jdk.

  Epyonne,
 
  First off, I don't think that you hijacked anyone's thread, but this list
  seems to be very sensitive to that (and perhaps more affected by it than
  other lists I have seen).
 
  From my experience there are a couple of options you can pursue:
  1) You could build the application from the ground up and charge an 
  hourly
  rate.  The rate will have to be agreed upon by you and the person
  contracting you.
  2) You could develop the eCommerce application at your own cost and sell 
  a
  license to it.  In this case you would have more direct control over the
  features you build into it.  Also, while this costs you more up front
  there
  is more possibility to recover the cost in selling multiple licenses.
  3) You could purchase a license to an existing application and adapt it 
  to
  meet your clients' needs.  In this case you would likely charge a flat 
  fee
  to recover your hard costs for the purchase and an hourly after that for
  any
  adaptations.  In this case I personally would ask for the hard costs up
  front so as to not go to the expense and then have the client change
  his/her
  mind.
 
  Now about the way you asked your question, I'm not sure if the web
  application you have developed for your employer is an eCommerce
  application.  In the event that it is eCommerce related you will likely
  use
  that as a base for whatever you build for your new client.  In this case
  you
  should discuss with your employer how he feels about you building off of 
  a
  code base that he has funded.  It may be that you could work out an
  arrangement with your employer to accomplish option 3 above, and that 
  your
  employer will give you a license at a significant savings to you.
 
  As far as contracts go,  you should probably consult with a lawyer for
  that.
 
  Daniel

  Since I am using Outlook Express, I did not realize that I was attaching
  to
  someone else thread and I apologize for that. I am starting a new thread
  here and hopefully someone can help me.
 
  I have been developing Java web application for my employer for a few
  years,
  but these are all running on our company's intranet only. Now someone is
  asking me to develop an eCommerce site. I don't know how to charge him.
  Can
  someone please give me some ideas of the going rate and what kind of
  contractual agreement I need? Is there anything else I need to watch out
  for?
 
  I am in the United States and I plan to use a commercial hosting company
  to
  host the site. It will cost around $30-40 a month.
 
  Any help will be very much appreciated.
