Re: Character Encoding question

2005-08-29 Thread Manfred Steurer

Just a guess:
Check the format of the .jsp-files. I had similar problems and solved 
them by converting the jsp-files to UTF-8.

Hi All,

I am having problems with Scandinavian characters on my system and am
attempting to isolate the problem; any help would be greatly
appreciated.

The problem manifests when forms are posted containing Scandinavian
characters.  In some cases these characters are de/encoded correctly and
in other cases they are replaced by strings of other special characters.
The system that I am working with aims to use UTF-8 encoding, and there
are meta elements on all the pages to this effect.

I have enabled the RequestDumperValve which shows that the characters
are incorrectly decoded by the time they reach this stage of processing.
I have noticed a correlation (although not necessarily a relationship)
between whether the characters are correctly decoded and whether the
request is reporting using:

contentType=text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1

or incorrectly decoded when:

contentType=text/html;charset=UTF-8

(This comes from the part of the RequestDumperValve output which is
separated from the main request part by two dashed lines).

I have tried modifying the Connector for the service by adding

URIEncoding=UTF-8

and experimented with both:

useBodyEncodingForURI=true and useBodyEncodingForURI=false

with no luck.

Does anyone have any experience or advice that might point me in the
right direction.  It is entirely possible that this problem is /not/ a
tomcat issue, but I am running out of ideas here.

PS, sorry for the previous partial post - I just discovered a new
keyboard shortcut by accident!

Best Wishes,

Re: tomcat base vs. home

2005-08-02 Thread Manfred Steurer
I don't know VSS, but using CVS I would do a new checkout to the H: 
drive, so Tomcat and VSS would use the same location and there is no 
extra config to do.

Sorry for the basic stuff here guys...  I'm a bit under the gun and
haven't found the answer in an admittedly cursory search, so I thought
I'd ask those who know all (that's you ;-)

I've eclipse (3.0) with sysdeo's plugin for tomcat, and tomcat (4.1).
In eclipse/window/preferences/tomcat there's a text box for Tomcat
home, currently h:\tomcat.  Under tomcat, in advanced, there's a text
box for Tomcat base, also h:\tomcat.

Is Tomcat home the place tomcat looks for its stuff and Tomcat base
where it looks for applications?  And then where would the HTML/JSP
pages go?

Why do I ask

Now, with my limited understanding of this stuff, there's a directory
with the java stuff in it, for the application server, a directory for
the HTML and JSP stuff, for the http server, and a directory for the
libraries used to actually run the application server.

When I'd worked with Visual Age for Java, we had the source code in, for
example, C:\project\ etc. and the HTML/JSPs in C:\Program
Files\IBM\...\DEFAULT_HOST\ProjectApp\ etc.  I'm guessing that VAJ's
libraries were also in C:\Program Files\IBM etc.

In support of that, we also have Visual Source Safe pointing to the same
directories, as it contains the Java/HTML/JSP and conf and prop and etc
files.

I'd put Eclipse and Tomcat on C:\tomcat, and had to move it to a network
drive, H:\tomcat. (because of the zips and McAfee)

But, I need to get tomcat to get the Java, HTML and JSPs from the same
place that VSS is pointed at, i.e. back at C:\project and C:\program
files\ibm\etc.  (so as to minimize my straying from the standard ;-)

So what do I set to c:\project and what do I set to C;\program
files\ibm\ etc.?

Thanks

Re: Moving to another drive

Did you change Tomcat Home and Configuration File at 
Window/Preferences/Tomcat?

Hi everybody

I'm using Tomcat (4.1) with the Sysdeo plug-in for Eclipse (3.0) on a
WinXP machine.

Had everything installed on C:\ and all was right with the world.

rant
Then came McAfee and the bureaucrats, who feel that ALL files should be
scanned on access.  Which means that even something as benign as looking
for a file in an archive, a zip, or jar, causes the entire archive to be
scanned, every time.  This drives the CPU time consumed by McAfee to
99%.
/rant

The bureaucrats' solution...  Move them all to a network drive, where
more powerful machines will do the scanning (and get maxed out)

So... I've moved the C:\eclipse and C:\tomcat directories to a networked
drive, H:\

I've changed the environment variable CATALINA_HOME to be H:\tomcat and
I've changed references in H:\tomcat\conf\server.xml to H: instead of C:

Eclipse comes up fine, but when I try to start tomcat, I get:
 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap

The Bootstrap class is in H:\tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar, I copied it back
to C:\ and tried to start tomcat, and got:
 Exception during startup processing
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina
at
org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader.loadClass(StandardClassLo
ader.java:992)
at
org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader.loadClass(StandardClassLo
ader.java:857)
at
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:176)

So... tomcat is still looking at C: for stuff when starting.

What am I missing, any ideas?

Re: Can't get ssl redirection to work properly

2005-07-22 Thread Manfred Steurer

I think you have a problem with the url-pattern in the web.xml.
It redirects anything after pds/ to ssl - but in http://adress:8080/pds 
there is nothing.


I don't have time to test now, but it may work without any url-pattern 
or just * instead of /*.

Hi again.. I don´t know if this mail reached the mailinglist som I
just reply to myself to get the attention again ;).
Is this kind of behaviour by tomcat normal with the redirection?. Does
behave in this way even if you just have an application.war file
deployed on a standalone tomcat?

Best regards
Stefan Nilsson.

Try saving the JSP-File itself as UTF-8.

Tomcat stops responding

2005-07-21 Thread Manfred Steurer

We have an app running productive for ~1 year without noticeable errors

(Tomcat 4.1.24, Java 1.4.1_03, Postgres 7.3 on RedHat 9).
But recently tomcat stops processing requests now and then.
- Tomcat is running
- No errors in the logfiles
- Due to RequestDumperValve Tomcat does not receive any requests when locked
- Other non-Tomcat java-apps on this server (using the same db) don't 
encounter any problems


After restarting Tomcat everything is fine.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
thx
