How to get name of Engine a servlet is running in?

2005-09-02 Thread Joe Reger, Jr.
I'm trying to gain access to the name of the Engine that a servlet is 
running in. In most cases this will be Catalina as configured in the 
/conf/server.xml file. But when another Engine is configured, say 
CatalinaTesting, I need to get that name instead.

I've tried to navigate the methods and classes from:
request.getSession().getServletContext()
request.getSession()

but I haven't been able to find the Engine name in any of the attributes or 
properties.

Is there any way to get it? 

Actually, all I really need is a small string that's unique to each Engine 
configured on the server and stays the same after application 
deployments/restarts. What I'm currently using is code that grabs the last 
two directories in the root app path and concatenates them... something like 
webappsROOT or webappsTestingROOT. It's unique, but ugly.

Thanks,

Joe


Embedded Tomcat JDBC Issue

2005-05-31 Thread Joe Reger, Jr.

Any tips on how to get a JDBC connection going using the embedded version of
Tomcat?  Where does the MySql driver go?  How is the JNDI resource
configured?  I've tried deploying a .war file with a context.xml, but have
had some problems (below).  Thanks,  Joe

Hi!
 
I've successfully created a project that embeds Tomcat. Excellent!  I can
see the sample page and the manager app, reporting Tomcat 5.5.9.  Now I'm
working on deploying a .war file programatically:   
 
public void registerWAR(String contextPath, String absolutePath) throws
Exception {
Context context = this.embedded.createContext(contextPath,
absolutePath);
context.setReloadable(false);
this.host.addChild(context);
}
 
I pass in the path  and the location of the .war file.  When I run the
application the .war file is found and exploded to the /ROOT directory
properly.   Inside of the .war file is a context.xml file.  The jdbc/db
resource is defined in context.xml, inside of the .war file with the
following:
 
Resource name=jdbc/db auth=Container type=javax.sql.DataSource/
  ResourceParams name=jdbc/db
parameter
  namefactory/name
  valueorg.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory/value

When I make a call to my application the code inside the .war file attempts
to connect to the database like this:
 
private static final String jndiPrePend = java:comp/env/; private static
final String jndiDB = jdbc/db; public static Connection getConnection(){

try{
  Context ctx = new InitialContext();
  if(ctx != null){
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup(jndiPrePend + jndiDB);
if(ds != null){
conn = ds.getConnection();
return conn;
}
  }
} catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
   util.errorsave(e);
}
return null;
  }

my app tries to connect to the db:

Questions:
1) Is my jndiPrePend variable correct?  It works for a standard deployment
on a non-embedded tomcat.
2) Is there anything special I need to do to get a jndi/jdbc resource

3) Does the error message I'm seeing point to anything that I need to

Tomcat Won't Start When 1024Mb JVM Memory Specified

2005-04-18 Thread Joe Reger, Jr.
 
Hi All!
 
I'm trying to configure Tomcat to use 2.5Gb of memory on Windows 2000 Server
SP4 with Java 1.4.2_04. 
 
To configure memory I'm using Start - Programs - Apache Tomcat 5.0 -
Configure Tomcat - Java Tab.
 
When I set the Maximum Memory Pool to anything greater than 1024Mb the
Tomcat service bombs immediately and gives an error popup (when done from
the Services control panel).  Sorry, I didn't write down the error code.
 
Is there a 1Gb limit on the JVM?  On Tomcat? 
 
Should I configure by editing startup.bat/catalina.bat instead?
 
I'm open to suggestions/workarounds.
 
Thanks,
 
Joe Reger

Throw the following code into a jsp and view it.  It'll give you a little
graph showing you how much memory Tomcat can use, has allocated and is

may help you figure out what's happening.  Best,  Joe

StringBuffer mb = new StringBuffer();

Subject: out of memory when there is plenty

Windows 2003
Tomcat 5.0.28

Ok I searched and searched endless and still cannot  understand what the
problem in my case. Ok, I understand that there can be a leak in teh code
and thats why Tomcat runs out of memory. However, the server got total 2GB
Ram memory, Tomcat is set to use min 512, max 1024. When I start getting an
out of memory error, Tomcat5 in task manager shows anywhere 350MB to 390MB,
I run a script on the server to check Runtime and it shows that memeory
usage is very low compared to max/min settings and there are about 600MB
available.

My question is what can cause Tomcat to report out of memory error when so
much is still available.

Thank you
Oleg

RE: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only

Hi,

I get the same error as Abhay when deploying a WAR file through the manager
application.  In my situation I do have the proper /WEB-INF/web.xml
structure but I get the Missing application web.xml, using defaults only
error.  When I manually explode the WAR file the application works fine.

You probably have a WEB-INF directory in your webapp, but no web.xml file in
it.  Make one (or move it, or fix the name, or whatever the problem is).

 I've been experiencing the problem randomly for several months, but I 
 have been unable to pin down the cause or even more information about 
 the error to make a guess as to the cause.

I've noticed that Tomcat occasionally changes its current directory while
running.  Since the current directory applies to all threads in a given
process, I'm wondering if one thread calling chdir() might pull the rug out
from under another.

Currently using 5.5.7 on a mainframe; I've noticed the same behavior with
5.0.28.

RE: FW: Re: Missing application web.xml Tomcat 5.5.7

2005-02-15 Thread Joe Reger, Jr.

Hi,

Sorry for the confusion on the variable name.  I undeploy the ROOT context
that comes stock with Tomcat.  I don't believe that this is a conflict with
another app being installed at the same context name.  Before each attempt
to upload the ROOT.war file I manually shut down Tomcat and delete any
/ROOT, ROOT.war and $CATALINA_HOME\conf\Catalina\localhost\ROOT.xml files so
that the instance is clean.

When I do the upload, Tomcat successfully moves ROOT.war to
$CATALINA_HOME\webapps\ (I watch the directory manually).  In the manager
web interfact it says that the app is successfully installed and it lists a
root context.  But then, upon refreshing a few seconds later the app has
been undeployed and the Missing application web.xml error appears in
stdout.  

I can shutdown tomcat, clean all ROOT context references, manually explode
the war file to  $CATALINA_HOME\webapps\ROOT\, restart Tomcat and the app
works perfectly.  It seemed initially like Tomcat was having trouble
extracting the war file but there was something I saw in the detailed log4j
debugs or on the file system that made me believe that it was successfully
able to get into the war, it just didn't like what it saw.  I forget what I
saw, but I believe that it was successfully reading in custom variables from
my context.xml, inside of the war file.

Thanks for the help,

Joe

Hi,
   Using $CATALINA_HOME and or $CATALINA_BASE is the more proper way to
describe those directory references. 
   No I am not having trouble with web.xml file when
deploying a WAR file.   I'm trying to assist you
troubleshoot.
   Are you trying to deploy an additional ROOT.war? 
There is an existing ROOT context that came as stock installed and this will
most likely conflict with the new one with same name you are trying to
deploy.  So either remove the existing one or rename your ROOT.war to
another name.

Hi!

I'm having problems 
with the "Missing application web.xml" erroron dev machines running 
Windows XP,. Tomcat 5.5.7, Java 5.0.

It happens when I 
try to deploy a war file by using the Manager app or by placing it in the 
/webapps directory. Here are some of the things I've done, each time 
trying to deploy the resulting WAR file with no success and the same 
error:

1) Completely 
emptied the /webapps directory (per Paul's success 
below).
2) Verified 
existence of web.xml inside WAR file.
3) Uninstalled ROOT 
app and verified file removal from /webapps directory.
4) Checked order of 
elements in web.xml to fit spec.
5) Validated web.xml 
in Intellij Idea against http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd
6) Changed 
web-app tag from the sample web.xml in documentation to the one used in 
Manager app from 5.5.7 build:
 
web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" 
version="2.4"
7) Removed all 
comments and spaces from web.xml.

When I unpack theWAR 
manually and place theunpacked files in /webapps the application works 
fine. Tomcat likes the web.xml, but it can't seem to find it inside of the 
WAR file.

Incidentally, when I 
watch my /webapps directory during a Manager deploy, the ROOT.war file does 
appear for a few seconds. It appears that Tomcat is trying to find a 
web.xml inside of it, fails and then deletes the file.

I use Ant to build 
the WAR file:
jar 
jarfile="ROOT.war"fileset dir="${files}" 
excludes="**/*.java"//jar

Any help 
appreciated. Seen this on two development XP machines 
today.

---Original 
MessageI just wanted to follow up and get into the record what I think is the 
solution to the problem I asked about
on 1/20.  I turns out that the reason I was getting "Missing 
application web.xml" errors in my stdout.log
was because of a problem that arose during the undeployment 
precipitated by my deployment of a new
build.  It appears (just based on Tomcat's behavior) that when you move 
a WAR file into the webapps directory, the first thing Tomcat tries to 
do is delete the old unpacked version.  In my case, it failed to do 
that because (as I found) the servlet had open file handles to files 
inside the servlet's context directory.  Windows  XP doesn't let you 
delete files that it thinks are "in use", and I suspect that is the 
trouble Tomcat was running into.  Anyway, it deleted everything except 
those files, including the web.xml file, which it then reported as 
missing.

When I modified my code to make sure the files were closed after being 
read, the problem went away.  Well, I haven't had the fix in place long 
enough to be sure it has gone away, but at the very least it certainly

Hi,
I'm just using that to represent the root tomcat installation directory.
For me it's C:\Superfly\Tomcat 5.5\.  For you it may be different.

Are you having any trouble with the web.xml file when deployinga WAR through
the manager app?

Manually Populate Request Object Name/Value Parameters?

2004-12-13 Thread Joe Reger, Jr.

The scenario is a timed-out login session:  The user writes a wonderful
something in a web page form.  They finally submit it but I have to redirect
to the login page to collect credentials because the session has timed out.


Question: Is there any way to restore that original request (with the user's
hard work in it) and throw it back at the page the user was trying to hit
after I collect credentials?  

If not then prior to redirecting for login I'd like to store the name/value
pairs from the request in the session, collect login credentials and then
rebuild the request manually by setting the URL and name/value request
parameters?

I'm using a homebrew login scheme.  Would switching to form-based
authentication automatically restore the original request once the user is
logged-in?

Thanks,

Joe

WAR file and context.xml overwriting on deployment

2004-11-16 Thread Joe Reger, Jr.

Hi.

I have a java web app that I package as a WAR file.  People download it.
They install it on their instance of Tomcat.  They configure application
settings as variables in context.xml.

The problem is that each time they grab updated code (a new WAR file) they
overwrite their context.xml file with the default settings.

Is there some more user-friendly way to deal with this configuration issue?
How do others that provide downloadable WAR files do this?

I understand that this may not be the traditional usage of WAR files and
Tomcat.  Ideas welcome.

Thanks,

Configure Tomcat's Session Cookie Domain?

2004-11-16 Thread Joe Reger, Jr.

Hi.  

Is there any way to specify the domain of the cookie that Tomcat sets to
maintain session across requests?

In java there's javax.servlet.http.Cookie.setDomain(java.lang.String
pattern) that allows me to set it to something like .joereger.com... which
allows a cookie to persist across one.joereger.com, two.joereger.com,
three.joereger.com and so on.

Anything like this in Tomcat's configuration?  I've also looked into the
jsp:useBean tags but haven't found anything that does what I'm looking
for.

Thanks,

Embedded Tomcat deploying WAR with URL of type jar:

2004-11-16 Thread Joe Reger, Jr.

Hi.

I have a question regarding the embedded version of Tomcat.  I'd like to
have a java program start an instance of Tomcat and then deploy a WAR file
to it.

...
URL warFile = new URL(jar:C:/source/ROOT.war);
Deployer deployer = (Deployer)host;
deployer.install(/ROOT, warFile);
...

I get the following error on the first line above:
java.net.MalformedURLException: no !/ in spec

This appears to be a known issue with Java:
http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0311L=jini-usersF=S=P=1044
6

But in the Tomcat API doc I see A URL of type jar: that points to a WAR
file, or type file: that points to an unpacked directory structure
containing the web application to be installed :
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache
/catalina/Deployer.html#install(java.net.URL,%20java.net.URL)

Summary: I'd like to use a URL of type jar: but I can't seem to get it
working.  Any help appreciated.

Sorry for the long message.

functionality not (yet?) developed for Tomcat?

I've created a workaround session manager that manually sets its own
cookies.  One result being that my scaling strategy can't rely on the
session replication of Tomcat... I'll have to use a firewall with sticky
sessions.  But enough whining from me... like always, there's a workaround.

Nope. Can't do it.

But if you really need it to be more domain generic - there is nothing
stopping you from expiring the JSESSIONID cookie and setting a newer one at
a more generic level. (But this will probably cause future issues)

Tomcat WAR Deployment Issue with 5.0.6

2003-08-14 Thread Joe Reger, Jr.

Two WAR files.  Exactly the same, but with different names:

myApp-(bld1035)-2003-08-07-(01-33-55PM).war
myApp.war

Both WARs have the same /META-INF/context.xml file with the line:
Context path=/myApp docBase=myApp debug=1 reloadable=true
crossContext=true

On a clean Tomcat 5.0.6 I use /manager's Select WAR file to upload
feature, upload the first WAR (myApp-(bld1035)-2003-08-07-(01-33-55PM).war)
and click Deploy.  It doesn't work.  Two applications are created.  One
called myApp and one called myApp-(bld1035)-2003-08-07-(01-33-55PM).
Neither works.  myApp has the context but no files.
myApp-(bld1035)-2003-08-07-(01-33-55PM) has the files but no context.

That's odd.

So I clean up Tomcat (removing the apps, remove the
/conf/Catalina/localhost/myApp.xml file, restart Tomcat, etc.) and then
upload myApp.war (the exact same file, just renamed) and it works
correctly.

With Tomcat 5.0.2 there was no dependency on the name of the WAR file
itself.

Any ideas?

Joe

Howdy,

 Are Custom Error pages available for 500 errors?

500's are tough, as they are internal server (i.e. not your webapp's)
errors.  I don't recall the spec on this point, but at some point I thought
error page customization only had to be available for 300 and 400 range HTTP
status.

As 500's can occur anywhere in the request processing pipeline, it's
difficult to provide the custom error page hook for them.

 This is under tomcat 4.0.4. (Although production will be under
 4.1.24)

Not a good idea: there are significant differences between the 4.0.x and
4.1.x branch of tomcat, and you should at least test, if not develop, on
4.1.24 before deploying to it.

RE: How to configure

2003-07-01 Thread Joe Reger, Jr.

Ted, 

It's a religious sort of thing (coder vs. designer) (system architect vs.
usability analyst) (technology vs. sales).  To make systems more stable and
portable we need case sensitivity.  To make systems easier to use designers
relax restrictions to make systems a little easier to deal with.  Does
portability outweigh the user's need to do finger gymnastics?  Who knows.
Like anything in life there's always a tradeoff.  

You're speaking in a very code-oriented forum right now.  You might also
want to check out a usability forum for another perspective. 

Bottom line with Tomcat... case insensitive is not possible.  But you can
explore case insensitivity for passwords, usernames, etc.  Many times those
are the areas where case sensitivity can more severly affect application
usability.  My humble (and uninformed) opinion is that users don't type URLs
much.  They search and click.  Or they type a domain-level URL and click.
Or they bookmark and click.

But they all have to log on at some point (most systems).  Which brings up
the mathematical argument that case insensitive passwords are easier to
break...  which brings up the usability argument that if users can't log in
they won't use the system... which brings up the argument that users won't
use a system that's insecure...

And on and on...

Good luck,

Joe

 6.6 URL's are now case sensitive on all operating systems

 As of Tomcat 3.2, URL's are case sensitive for all operating systems, 
 including operating systems which have case insensitive file systems, 
 such as Windows.  This represents a change from Tomcat 3.1, where 
 URL's were case insensitive on case insensitive OS's.  This was done 
 for a number of reasons, security and portability among them.

 A non-portable web application, i.e. one with case mismatches, which

Bahavior of url-pattern in Tomcat 5.0.2

2003-06-30 Thread Joe Reger, Jr.

Hi!  

I'm working with the servlet-mapping tag in web.xml running on Tomcat 5.0.2.
In particular, I'm working with the url-pattern schemes.  I've got a simple
Hello World!-style servlet that I'm trying to map various URLs to.  Below
I list some samples and my results.

Why does Test 3 fail?  Shouldn't I be able to define a mapping like
*-foo.joetest?  It's very similar to Test 2.

Why does Test 2 work (*.joetest) but Test 5 fail (*.joetest.foo)?

It seems that I can't really use the wildcard character in a traditional
sense.  There are some other rules. If these are desired behaviors, is there
a reference for url-pattern tag rules? 

Thanks,

Joe


Test 1 ---
(Basic example.)
servlet-mapping
servlet-namejoetest/servlet-name
url-pattern/joetest/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
This works for URL: http://localhost/myapp/joetest

Test 2 ---
(Basic wild card mapping to servlet.)
servlet-mapping
servlet-namejoetest/servlet-name
url-pattern*.joetest/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
This works for URL: http://localhost/myapp/89j98jh8hjl.joetest
This works for URL: http://localhost/myapp/anything.joetest
This works for URL: http://localhost/myapp/.joetest

Test 3 ---
(Adding something other than the . to the right of the wildcard.)
servlet-mapping
servlet-namejoetest/servlet-name
url-pattern*-foo.joetest/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
Does NOT work for: http://localhost/myapp/687-foo.joetest
Does NOT work for: http://localhost/myapp/*-foo.joetest
Does NOT work for: http://localhost/myapp/-foo.joetest

Test 4 ---
(Trying to add the absolute path reference.)
servlet-mapping
servlet-namejoetest/servlet-name
url-pattern/*-foo.joetest/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
This works for URL: http://localhost/myapp/*-foo.joetest
(Note that the * above is the actual * character typed into the browser.)

Test 5 ---
(Similar to Test 2 but with a twist.)
servlet-mapping
servlet-namejoetest/servlet-name
url-pattern*.joetest.foo/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
Does NOT work for: http://localhost/myapp/6872434ef.joetest.foo
Does NOT work for: http://localhost/myapp/*.joetest.foo

Log4j and Tomcat howto?

2003-06-26 Thread Joe Reger, Jr.

Does anybody know of a Log4j and Tomcat HOWTO?  I've seen lots of info out
there on Log4j and command line Java but little on Log4j in a Tomcat
container.  I'd like to see sample Logger... config tags for context.xml,
sample log4j.properties files and where to put the log4j.jar file so that
it's accessed correctly.  It would also be great to see a sample
JDBCLogAppender in action.  Thanks,  Joe

RE: Log4j problem mixing 2 apps

2003-06-26 Thread Joe Reger, Jr.

Thanks to all for the recommendations.  Good reading.

Bottom line goals I have:

1) All exceptions logged through one package... jsp compilation errors, sql
errors... errors that are caught by try/catch... errors that are not caught
by try/catch... debug and trace that coders write...

2) I want my entire app to fit into a single WAR file with no other
configuration.  In other words, aside from jdk/tomcat, no server-level
configuration. This doesn't mean that server config isn't done... but that
it's done from within my build/deploy process (i.e. my META-INF/context.xml
appends server.xml).  Prabhat's link seems to address elements of this.

But... my possibly incorrect understanding of the Logger/ tag in Tomcat is
that it defines the package that will log anything that Tomcat thinks I need
to see. 

What's the catch-all that I'm looking for?  While I agree that it's standard
practice to catch all exceptions, coders sometimes don't adhere to it.

Sounds like my first goal may be impossible.  Sounds like I need two things:
1) %@ page errorPage=error.jsp % on each jsp page and then on error.jsp
write the most recent uncaught exception to the database
2) Log4j or similar to log caught exceptions

What gives the rest of you comfort that you're seeing all errors that your
app is generating?

Thanks,

Joe

Howdy,

I read Ceki's article at http://qos.ch/logging/sc.html . Tomcat already
has
an implementation of the CRS, right? Is there a how-to document
somewhere
that explains how to configure Tomcat to use it?

No to the first question, and therefore no to the second one as well.
