Re: Regression? Tomcat 4.1.27 spiraling out of control!
I don't know how to creat a test case for this. Everything ran fine on my test box. It only gets out of control under load. I don't have any tools for load testing.

Re: Tomcat with JBoss/Tomcat
I don't see why they wouldn't play nice. I use them both, but on separate boxes. The can be memory pigs however. Each uses around 128Mb on Solaris 7. I haven't done it myself, but JBoss can be configured to run Tomcat within it's JVM. This might save some overhead. Neither one is a processor hog with my applications. If you run them in separate JVM's, watch out for the plethora of default services that JBoss launches. You will likely get some contention for some 80xx port numbers. -- Jeff jlar310 at yahoo - Original Message - From: Geralyn M Hollerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 12:13 PM Subject: Tomcat with JBoss/Tomcat I have an application running quite happily under Tomcat 4.1.24.

Regression? Tomcat 4.1.27 spiraling out of control!
I just upgraded my production server to tomcat 4.1.27 running on Solaris 7 with java 1.4.2_01. I am using Ajp13 connections to Apache 1.3.23 with mod_jk 1.2.0. I was running 4.0.4 on java 1.3.0 without incident. It ran fine for a day and a half, but then over a period of about 10 minutes I got a flood of log messages for Broken pipe, Starting background thread and finally when it exceeded my configured Ajp13Processor limit, No processor available, rejecting this connection. Also, tomcat pegged my CPU usage during this period. I bounced tomcat and now all is well with less than 10% cpu for tomcat. The httpd logs show no evidence of a DOS attack. Besides, the tomcat application requires form based login. My 4.0.4 setup never used more than 55 AJP processors. It was (as is 4.1.27) configured for a max of 75 which it never reached. I had the very same problem when I first deployed 4.0.3, but it got fixed in 4.0.4. Can anybody confirm this regression? Google hasn't been very helpful on this one. Should I just revert to 4.0.4 and wait for a fix? -- Jeff jlar310 at yahoo - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Apache + Tomcat sometimes pegs CPU
I'm running Apache 1.3.23/Tomcat 4.0.3 (jdk1.3.1) on Solaris 7 connected with mod_jk. Sometimes I I find that the CPU on the web server box is pegged at 100%. It's a dedicated server and I am bouncing Apache and Tomcat once a week to help alleviate the problem. If I didn't restart every week, it would just be a matter of time before things spiraled out of control again. The processes that are responsible are java (Tomcat) and libhttpd.ep (Apache, with --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE) each with about 50% of the CPU. If I bounce Tomcat, no change. If I bounce Apache, it returns to normal (low) CPU usage. I have Apache running on other machines without Tomcat and this does not happen. So it's got to be a mod_jk thing. There are no log messages of any significance. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks, Jeff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Client session problems when MSIE is run within Outlook
I don't have MS Outlook myself, so I can't do any testing on this. But I have a customer who has been running a browser session from within Outlook. Some of my pages have javascript links that open a new browser window to view a page. When she accesses one of these popups from within Outlook, the newly popped-up window fails to supply the correct session cookie and a new session is created for that window. Needless to say, this really screws up the application. Is it possible to *force* the encoding of the session ID in the page which contains the link that generates the popup even if cookies are used for the session ID? Right now, I'm using response.encodeURL(), but that does nothing when cookies are used. I would rather not use an encoded session ID for all links, just ones that open new windows.

Re: Debugging
I develop with JBuilder 4 Pro which has support for Tomcat 3, but not Tomcat 4. So I did a little digging and discovered the class org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded. Download the source and look at the main() method in this class. It will show you how to use the Embedded class to run Tomcat from within another class. I wrote my own TomcatRunner class which employs the Embedded class to run Tomcat 4.0.3 much in the same way as Embedded.main() except customized for my application. All you need to do is put TOMCAT_HOME/bin/bootstrap.jar and TOMCAT_HOME/server/lib/catalina.jar in your classpath. Then just run your enclosing class in your debugger.

REPOST: Problems serving PDF to Netscape browsers
I've made no progress on this, so let's try again. My dynamic PDF is working perfectly with MSIE 4, 5, and 6, but I'm still having problems with Netscape (ver 4 and 6) and the Acrobat (ver 4 and 5) plugin. I've tried this on various client machines. With both NS4 and NS6, I just get a blank screen when I request my dynamic PDF. They don't even show the Acrobat toolbar. The similarities end there. In NS4, the first request does not launch the AcroRd32.exe process. In fact, it fails to read the entire output of the servlet and Tomcat (4.0.3) spits out a Broken Pipe exception to the logs. If I hit Reload, however, I get my PDF and the plugin works. According to the Apache logs, the first unsucessful request returns 6144 of 21212 bytes before the broken pipe. On the Reload, the Apache log shows TWO requests returning the full 21212 bytes and Netscape displays it in the plugin. In NS6, the first request DOES launch the plugin executable, but that's as far as it gets. Reload doesn't help. My Apache server reports the correct number of bytes for the full PDF request, so the data seems to be getting to the browser. No exceptions are thrown by Tomcat. In both NS4 and NS6, it works if I configure Acrobat to be launched as an external application instead of a plugin. But it is not a viable option to impose that configuration on our customers. I use a servlet mapping that sends requests for xxx.pdf to my servlet, thus the browser sees a .pdf filename. I also use setContentType(application/pdf). There are known problems with MSIE and unknown ContentLength with PDF so I create the PDF in a ByteArrayOutputStream so I can know and set the ContentLength before writing to response.getOutputStream(). To take the dynamic nature of the PDF out of the equation, I was able to reproduce these problems --sometimes-- when serving static PDF files via Tomcat. - Original Message - From: Jeff Larsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 1:44 PM Subject: Problems serving PDF to Netscape browsers I'm running out of hair to pull out here...

App Reload problems: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
Tomcat 4.0.3 on Sun Solaris 7. Most of the time, the manager app successfully reloads my application.

Rantings about FileLogger (TC 4.0.3)
I was just perusing the source code for org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger because, like many of you, I don't like the clutter of daily log file rotation. I noticed that even if timestamps are turned off, the FileLogger class still calls System.currentTimeMillis() on every log call!! It does this to check the date to see if the file needs to be switched. Not only that, but it creates two new String objects for the timestamp even if you aren't logging it. The only performance gain is the skipped call to write the timestamp to the file. So if you think you're saving resources by turning off timestamps, think again... I also noticed that FileLogger is declared final. WHY!?!?!?!?!? It would be so easy to extend FileLogger to create my own rotation scheme. And while I'm at it, why is LoggerBase NOT public!?!?!?!? So now if I want to create my own logger, I have to implement the Logger interface from scratch. Tomcat developers, what's the deal?

Re: Getting a servlet running under Tomcat-Apache 4.0.3
What path does the Manager display for your app? If tomcat is auto-deploying your app, then it should be /MySeatMap since that is the subdir of webapps in which your WEB-INF/web.xml resides. Then you should be accessing http://localhost:8080/MySeatMap/seating If you are using a Context path=/mypath docBase=MySeatMap / element in server.xml, then your URL should be http://localhost:8080/mypath/seating Remember, the servlet-mapping elements only tell the container which servlet classes to invoke WITHIN that servlet's context path. Nothing in web.xml defines the context path itself. Try the above URL's and let us know if it works.

Subject: Handle exceptions correctly
Hi,
I used to handle exceptions quite weel within my JSP pages. This is what I
chose to do :
- always throw Exceptions inside my Java methods and don't catch them inside.
- don't do a try{} catch{} statement within my JSP pages.
- but include an error page so that errors get redirected there.
It used to work quite well but now whenever I get a small exception somewhere
in the code all I have is a message saying :
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP}
catch (Throwable t) {
^
}
^
}
^
3 errors
at
The problem is that I don't know what I have changed in my code, not much. Do
you know what type of problems that can occur with this ?
Thanks for your help

Re: Session already invalidated
Part of the problem may be that you're grabbing a session object
that you have stored in your own data structure. Tomcat doesn't
know anything about your monitor HashMap and is not going to update
it when it invalidates a timed-out session.
Why don't you do this:
try {
oldSession.invalidate();
} catch (IllegalStateException ise) {
// do nothing, if it's already invalidated, we're happy
}

Subject: Session already invalidated
I have the book Professional JSP (1st Edition).
Chapter 5 has some session management code that does not work.
I have searched the different newsgroups and tomcat archives, and have
found where others have asked this question but I can't find where
anyone has answered it.
The problem is that whenever oldSession.invalidate() is called; I get
the following error message:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: getAttributeNames: Session already
invalidated
I am using Tomcat 3.3, JDK 1.3.1_01 and Apache on RedHat Linux 7.2.
Here is the problem code:
---
%@ page language=java import=java.util.* errorPage=error1.jsp%
jsp:useBean id=loginBean scope=page class=Login
jsp:setProperty name=loginBean property=*/
/jsp:useBean
jsp:useBean id=monitor scope=application class=java.util.HashMap/
%
String username = request.getParameter( username );
String password = request.getParameter( password );
loginBean.setUserName( username );
loginBean.setPassword( password );
String display = index.html;
User user = loginBean.authenticate();
if( user != null ){
user.setIPAddr(request.getRemoteHost());
// Got user. Do they already have a session?
if( monitor.containsKey(user)){
// There's an old session for this user - invalidate it
HttpSession oldSession = (HttpSession)monitor.get(user);
String sID1 = oldSession.getId();
System.out.println(Existing Session detected: + sID1);
oldSession.invalidate();
}
session.setAttribute(user, user);
monitor.put(user, session);
String sID = session.getId();
System.out.println(Session Created: + sID);
session.setMaxInactiveInterval(300);
display=browse.jsp;
}
%
jsp:forward page=%= display %/
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick Roberts

Re: Passing objects to taglib file
Just do it!
mytaglib:mytag data=%= someVectorObject %
You need to support the object type in your getter and setter
methods for the tag attribute...
public Class MyTag extends TagSupport {
private Vector data;
public void setData(Vector newData) { data = newData; }
public Vector getData() { return data; }
...
}
You also need to use rtexprvaluetrue/rtexprvalue in your tld.

Re: Session already invalidated
Hmmm... The IllegalStateException must be getting caught within
the session.invalidate() code and then throwing another exception
which generates the error page.
For debugging, catch (Exception e) and then System.out.println(e.getClass()).
You then know what exception to catch, but it might not be a good idea
to have too broad a catch.
My question (and one that you may need to be asking yourself) is:
Why do you need to store the HttpSession objects and why is it so
important that you invalidate them before replacing them in your
HashMap? Couldn't you just overwrite them in your HashMap and
forget about them?

Re: Some body Help
There is NO way to know when a client kills their browser. HTTP is a stateless protocol. The only time we know that the browser is alive is during a request. After that, we don't know if the browser gets closed or if the user just navigates elsewhere. If you need to close down resources, just set your session timeout appropriately and use the javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionBindingListener interface to know when the session gets killed either by an explicit user logout or a session timeout. In any case, I would not recommend holding database connections open for each session. Use a connection pool...

Re: Simple Question (I hope...)
Could be several things. Since some details about your setup are,
missing, please don't take offense if I state the obvious.
Are you using Tomcat standalone or with Apache? Have you successfully
gotten the Tomcat examples to work?
If your homepage.class has a 'package' directive in the source, then
you need to reference the fully qualified class name in your web.xml
and your class file needs to be in the proper package subdirectories
under WEB-INF/classes.
Check the Tomcat logs. You should see some messages that reference
your [/test] context if Tomcat is successfully deploying the context.
Add load-on-startup1/load-on-startup to your web.xml. Restart
Tomcat and if you class is being successfully loaded you should
see greetings: init in the log.
If your servlet is successfully loaded, then it's a URL problem.
What URL are you using to test the servlet? According to your setup
it should be http://hostname:{port}/test/please assuming you are using
Tomcat as your webserver, otherwise the URL mapping is dependent upon
your Apache config.
I hope these ideas help... Post more details if not.

Subject: Simple Question (I hope...)
Hi there,
I'm new to Tomcat and to this list, so apologies if this question has already been
asked
(I've checked the archives and can't find an answer).
I'm trying to create a new context in server.xml. My current code is:
Context path=/test docBase=test
debug=0 reloadable=true /
I've also created a directory within webapps called test, with sub directory
WEB-INF
and classes. And within the classes folder is my test class file (homepage.class).
I've also created a web.xml file and placed it in the WEB-INF directory defining the
servlet mappings for the new servlet (called homepage):
web-app
servlet
servlet-namegreetings/servlet-name
servlet-classhomepage/servlet-class
/servlet
servlet-mapping
servlet-namegreetings/servlet-name
url-pattern/test/please/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
/web-app
Using the manager app I've successfully added a new application (called test) but
when
I try to view the servlet, I get a 404 error ... any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Re: losing session info with netscape 4.x
To encode a URL with the session id, you call HttpServletResponse.encodeURL() or HttpServletResponse.encodeRedirectURL(). If the session id is being stored as a cookie, these methods will leave the URL unchanged. If cookies are disabled, then these methods will embed the session id within the URL. So if you have a jsp with javascript that opens a popup, your javascript would be something like this: popup = window.open(%= response.encodeURL(popup.jsp) %); In your case, with cookies enabled, it doesn't seem likely that this is your problem. But it's a necessary practice if you want to allow users that don't accept cookies to access your site.

As long as the role-name in the manager app web.xml matches the role assigned to a user in tomcat-users.xml, it works. - Original Message - From: Cox, Charlie [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Tomcat Users List' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 10:15 AM Subject: RE: Reloading Web Applications without manager and without reloadable=true I stand corrected. I didn't think you could override the default manager role since it is not defined in the web.xml. So you have manager working with a user without the 'manager' role? Or are you adding another role requirement to to the manager path? This is what it appears that you are doing in the example as opposed to replacing 'manager' with 'myappmanager'.

Re: Process for using Manager reload of war file?
Here's the deal with unpacking of war files: It only happens when Tomcat starts and autodeploys apps that do not otherwise have a Context element in server.xml. If you manually define the context, it won't unpack the war file! If you update the war file and reload, it won't re-unpack the war file! Absolutly NOTHING will get tomcat to re-unpack a war file except stopping tomcat, manually deleting the unpacked directory, and restarting tomcat. And again, it ONLY unpacks auto-deployed apps. I've given up on war files, because I need my app unpacked so Apache can serve the static content. Luckily, I have an ftp client (CuteFTP) than can upload an entire directory structure with one command. Then, with the files already unpacked (I have reloadable=false in my Context), I use the manager app to reload my application.

Re: multiple users using tomcat
What is the nature of the instruction? Are you teaching the students how to install and configure tomcat or are they just going to be creating webapps for tomcat? If they are going to be configuring tomcat, then each student should have his own tomcat installation directory, and (assuming they are all on the same server) each tomcat instance will need it's own port. However, you'll need a beefy server to handle 75 instances of tomcat. If they are just creating webapps. Then you don't really need separate instances of tomcat on separate ports. Just assign each student his/her own webapp context into which their programs will be installed. The same server could serve them all. However each context path will need to be individually specified in server.xml and have the reloadable flag set to true. You may also want to specify a custom logger for each context so the students may easily track server error messages related to their apps. I hope I'm somewhat on the right track for you.

Re: SAXParseException on catalina.sh run
The XML parser in Tomcat 4.0.3 requires STRICT adherence to XML standards. I struggled for a while myself before I discovered that XML sub-elements must appear in the SAME ORDER as they are listed in the DTD. That was news to me, because I had never seen a parser that required it. So... make sure your XML is absolutely correct. Your parse error is coming at line 1 column 1 so make sure your web.xml starts with ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? and then make sure your !DOCTYPE tag is is exactly right.

Re: session from URL/Cookie
I'm not entirely sure I understand your problem, but I'll take a stab at it anyway Typically, you don't need to worry about where the sessionid comes from. Anywhere you send a redirect or put a link in a JSP or servlet generated html, you should ALWAYS use HttpServletResponse.encodeURL() or HttpServletResponse.encodeRedirectURL(). Once tomcat knows whether or not the browser is using cookies, it will encode the URL as needed. If cookies are enabled, the URL will be unchanged. If no cookies, the session ID will be inserted. Tomcat does this for you. You don't need to worry about it, just encode ALL URLs.

Assuming you have a controller servlet that could load the hint text from the database, why not have a static hashtable in your servlet code that is initialized with the values from the database in the init() method. Then as each session is initialized, you could put a reference to the hashtable in each session with session.setAttribute(hints, hintTable); Then you have access to the hints wherever you need them. jsp:useBean name=hints class=java.util.Hashtable scope=session ... input type=text name=myField onMouseOver=self.status='%= (String)hints.get(myField) %' Or better yet you could write a custom taglib... mytags:textWithHint name=myField and then do the hint lookup in the custom tag code.

When you call HttpSession.setAttribute(name, myClass), the valueBound() method of MyClass gets called. Likewise when the session expires or the object is explicitly removed from the session, the valueUnbound() method is called. So if you put a listener in the session attributes, you will know when the session dies.

Re: JNDI/EJB: looking for some references
Hi! Thanks for the suggestions. I'm actually able to invoke the remote EJB setting either the properties you mentioned in the call of the codenew InitialContext/code or setting them in the codeSystem/code properties and then calling codenew InitialContext/code without parameters ; anyway, I wish I could do that without specifing the provider url in the code (as J2EE.5.1 suggests). I use a context-param in my web.xml to specify the provider URL, which is then read by my servlets in the init() method using... getServletContext().getInitParameter(provider.url); Then you are free to change without recompilation.

Re: Problem with cache clearing in Tomcat
You may also want to try META http-equiv=Expires content=0 However, I don't really trust META tags. Browser implementations of META tags are not always reliable. Write to the response headers directly. I embed the following at the top of every jsp page. % response.setHeader(Cache-Control, no-cache); response.setHeader(Pragma, no-cache); response.setDateHeader(Expires, 0); % If you're not using jsp, you could also put this in your servlet code. However, during the development of my latest web app, I had similar cache problems while running under Tomcat 3.2.3 standalone. In my production environment however, I run Apache 1.3.23 with mod_jk to connect to Tomcat 4.0.3 and my cache problems went away. I'm not sure if it's a Tomcat version issue or if Tomcat's standalone HTTP connector just doesn't handle the headers correctly.

Re: re-deploying a web app
I've experimented with several versions (3.2, 3.3, 4.0) of Tomcat and none of them have handled updating of application files with any grace. The documentation on this is pretty sparse so I've never been sure whether it's a bug or the intended behavior. The only way to make sure things get re-deployed properly is to unpack the war file yourself and restart Tomcat. However, I think if you upload a new war file and delete the old unpacked directory, Tomcat will unpack the new war file on a restart.

Looking at my mod_jk.log file, it appears that mod_jk is trying to map every request that comes to my server, regardless of whether it should be handled by Tomcat or Apache. This seems very inefficient to me and I'm wondering if I have a configuration problem somewhere. Otherwise everything seems to be working correctly and all pages (jsp and otherwise) are being served correctly. Perhaps this is normal and I just need to change my log level and ignore it.

Tomcat 4.0.3. is not unpacking my WAR file
Tomcat 4.0.3 is NOT unpacking my WAR file and my application is not getting loaded. Is this a bug or is there a configuration issue that I am missing. If I run without unpacking the war (i.e., docBase=online.war), the application runs just fine, but then I can't have Apache httpd serve my static html and images.

Re: Tomcat 4.0.3. is not unpacking my WAR file
Let me clarify: Tomcat NEVER unpacks the war, not when it's restarted, and even if the directory is not there. On restart, Tomcat complains that it can't start the application, because the directory does not exists. - Original Message - From: Daniel Bruce Lynes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 10:09 AM Subject: Re: Tomcat 4.0.3. is not unpacking my WAR file On March 21, 2002 08:02 am, you wrote: Tomcat 4.0.3 is NOT unpacking my WAR file and my application is not getting loaded. Is this a bug or is there a configuration issue that I am missing. It'll only do this if the server is restarted. Tomcat doesn't support on-the-fly deploy yet. I've also noticed that if the directory already exists for the web application in question, that it never extracts the war file. This seems to be the behaviour on all of the Tomcat versions I've tried recently (3.2.1,3.2.3,3.3rc1,4.0.1). -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Solaris Install Question
Solaris will not allow an unprivileged user (i.e., not the root user) to open a server on a port number below 1024. You must run as root or use a higher port number.

Tab Characters in web.xml (Tomcat 4.0.3)
I've been developing a web application in JBuilder using Tomcat 3.2 with great success. Now it's time for the real world. I'm deploying my app on Tomcat 4.0.3 on Solaris and I'm having problems with my web.xml. When Tomcat starts, it gives me the following error: 2002-03-20 10:47:48 ContextConfig[/online] Parse error in application web.xml org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of element type web-app must match (icon?,display-name?,description?,distributable?,context-param*,servlet*,servlet-mapping* ,session-config?,mime-mapping*,welcome-file-list?,error-page*,taglib*,resource-ref*,securi ty-constraint*,login-config?,security-role*,env-entry*,ejb-ref*). OK, so it's just validating my web.xml against the DTD. BUT... my web.xml is correct. If I remove the leading tab characters from the lines of web.xml and replace them with plain spaces, it parses just fine. What gives?!?!? Since when are tabs not legal whitespace?!?!?!
