RE: 404 redirection question
Wade, Browsers don't display the error page for missing GIF or JPEG elements in a page, only when the entire requested URL gets a 404. If you have hyperlinks to images, as opposed to HTML pages with images embedded, then what you are looking for can be accomplished. You could create a JSP which does the following to get the original URI: // If this is an error page, get the original URI String missingURI = (String) req.getAttribute( javax.servlet.forward.request_uri); if (missingURI == null) missingURI =req.getRequestURI(); Fritz -Original Message- From: Wade Billings [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2005 8:10 AM To: tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: ***SPAM*** 404 redirection question I have the need to redirect visitors to my site to different error pages depending on the type of element missing.

RE: Tomcat vs Apache
Chris, Earlier versions of Tomcat were quite a bit slower than Apache when delivering static pages. For high volume work the preferred solution was to have Apache listening on port 80, and when it received a request for a page from in a J2EE context, to forward it to Tomcat, listening on 8080. A similar connector is used for Microsoft IIS. Tomcat had a major rewrite for Tomcat 5, and the performance difference on static pages is now minor. An Apache-to-Tomcat connector is now used for the following reasons (and probably a few more): 1) History. We started out that way, and there's no reason to change. 2) Expansion. We have been running Apache (or IIS) and we need to add a J2EE container. 3) Load balancing. We have too many requests for a single server, so we have Apache take the incoming requests and dole them out to three or four Tomcat servers. 4) Management. We have a lot of customers. Some need CGI, some need PHP, and some need J2EE. I hope this helps, Fritz -Original Message- From: Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2005 9:39 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Tomcat vs Apache Apache is not a J2EE container - you are off-roading on this one ;-) Thanks.

RE: 404 redirection question
David, I'm differentiating between a link as in src= and a hyperlink as in href=. For a link, the browser does indeed do another HTTP GET to retrieve it, but if the result is a 404, the rest of the response is discarded and the image is rendered as a small box with a red x in it. On the other hand, if the image was the target of a hyperlink and it got a 404, the error page would be displayed (unless the IE friendly option were selected). Example: http://peacham.homeip.net/notthere.jpg.

In the case below, the image is not embedded in the HTML but is simply a link to the image that requires an HTTP(S) GET to retrieve.

RE: No such list! s An explanation
In general list servers have at least two e-mail addresses on which to receive mail. The most heavily used one is the main list address which accepts submissions and broadcasts them to all members of the list. In our case it's [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is also one or more list management addresses such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's obvious that some child has found a way to subscribe one of the management interfaces at New Atlanta to our list. Each message that we send gets forwarded to that address. Since the message is not a valid list management message, the New Atlanta server replies with an error message. That error message then gets broadcast. We should consider ourselves lucky that the New Atlanta list server ignores messages which seem to come from itself. If it didn't we would have an infinite loop. What can we do about it? 1) Wait patiently for our list owner to delete the offending subscription. 2) Add a mail filter to discard messages with newatlanta in the header. 3) Stop sending messages. 4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fritz -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 11:11 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: No such list! s (AM I THE ONLY ONE GETTING THIS SPAM)?

RE: Deploying Sakai 1.5.0 with Tomcat 5.5.7
Joe, Do you also have a deployed application at TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/sakai-dispatch? If so, what does its web.xml look like?

I've received several emails from people on the sakai user group telling me that Sakai 1.5.0 hasn't been proven to run with Tomcat 5.5.7, but I wanted to learn a little bit on my own, so I'm trying to make it work. Part of the sakai build process involves dropping several .xml files into the TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost. One of the files, sakai-dispatch.xml, is supposed to redirect the base path of Tomcat with the following line: Context path=/ docBase=f:/usr/local/sakai/sakai-dispatch crossContext=true The problem is that when I type in http://localhost:80/; into the URL (my port is 80 by default, not 8080), nothing comes up. I know that the base path hasn't been changed to / because the index.html file in F:/user/local/sakai/sakai-dispatch is supposed to a redirect, but that's not happening.

RE: Deploying Sakai 1.5.0 with Tomcat 5.5.7
Joe, The question also is asking if F:/usr/local is TOMCAT_HOME. I am not sure that the context.xml is used if there is no directory for the context under webapps. You quoted me a web.xml from what would appear to be a different directory. Fritz -Original Message- From: Joe Bautista [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 18, 2005 3:38 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Deploying Sakai 1.5.0 with Tomcat 5.5.7 Fritz, When you ask whether I also have a deployed application at TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/sakai-dispatch, I think what you're asking is whether or not everything looks kosher in that directory. If that's the case, then the answer is yes. I see the META-INF and WEB-INF directories. WEB-INF\lib has a jar file called sakai-tunnel-sakai.1.5.0.jar. As far as what the xml file looks like I've attached it in case you wanted to take a look at the whole thing, but the pertinent entries in F:/usr/local/sakai/sakai-dispatch/WEB-INF/web.xml are as follows: !-- dispatch for /portal -- servlet servlet-name dispatch-portal /servlet-name servlet-class org.sakaiproject.tunnel.TunnelServlet /servlet-class init-param param-nameredirect-context/param-name param-value/sakai-portal/param-value /init-param init-param param-nameredirect-path/param-name param-value/varuna/portal/param-value /init-param init-param param-namelog/param-name param-valuefalse/param-value /init-param load-on-startup1/load-on-startup /servlet ... servlet-mapping servlet-name dispatch-portal /servlet-name url-pattern /portal/* /url-pattern /servlet-mapping Thanks Fritz, Joe -Original Message- From: Fritz Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 18, 2005 2:11 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Deploying Sakai 1.5.0 with Tomcat 5.5.7 Joe, Do you also have a deployed application at TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/sakai-dispatch?

RE: Multiple tomcat instances
Another option which uses fewer resources but doesn't provide quite the same degree of isolation is to run two hosts in the same Catalina service. If your DNS maps www.mydomain.com and test.mydomain.com to the same IP address, they can share the same ports. Each one can have its own logs, Servlet mappings, and set of apps.

RE: Multiple tomcat instances
Steve, In the Host definition you specify an appBase for the applications directory (which will have a new ROOT under it), a Valve for the AccessLog, and whatever else you want to split off. The applications in the appBase directory will have their own WEB-INFO where you specify Servlet mappings, etc. The only restriction that I can think of is that the servlets in WEB-INF/web.xml must have different Servlet-names from those in conf/web.xml Fritz -Original Message- From: Kelly, Steve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 7:41 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Multiple tomcat instances Can you expand a bit more how this would work.

RE: How do I restrict access to webapps applications from browser users?
Ike. You need to complete your security-constraint with authorization, login, and role information. Here is what works for me: !-- Define a Security Constraint on this Application -- security-constraint web-resource-collection web-resource-nameRestricted Files/web-resource-name url-pattern/*/url-pattern /web-resource-collection auth-constraint !-- NOTE: This role is not present in the default users file -- role-nameapp1/role-name /auth-constraint /security-constraint !-- Define the Login Configuration for this Application -- login-config auth-methodBASIC/auth-method realm-nameMy Application/realm-name /login-config !-- Security roles referenced by this web application -- security-role description The role that is required to log in to the application /description role-nameapp1/role-name /security-role You might also want to check out the single login valve.

RE: How do I restrict access to webapps applications from browser users?
Ike, All I'm saying is Here is what works for me. But it seems that you must have some form of authentication as well as a statement of the required role if you want to restrict access to certain users.

Help needed with Tomcat 5.5.7 admin app (MBeanServer is not available)
Simon,
I had the same problem. Then I discovered that the admin app had to be
installed under ${Catalina.home}/server/webapps rather than just
${Catalina.home}/webapps. Once I moved the directory to where the Context
docBase said it was supposed to be, it started working.

Subject: Help needed with Tomcat 5.5.7 admin app (MBeanServer is not
available)

Hi there,
I've just installed Tomcat 5.5.7 (using the .exe installer on WinXP)
and, whilst the server and manager app work fine, I'm having problems
with the optional admin webapp.
I downloaded the admin zip file and extracted the files to the
appropriate locations. The admin app starts ok and I can log in, but
when I click on Environmental Entries (or try to add a datasource),
I get a 500 response with the message MBeanServer is not available
(stack trace from stdout log below).
