Tomcat and SuSE 9.3...
Hello everybody, I have been doing some research and there seems to be a problem with Tomcat and SuSE 9.3 professional. I haven't managed to find a solution yet or figure out one for myself. Does anybody have a suggestion? I do NOT want to role back to 9.2 as this is now out of the question due to other factors involved. Any help will be greatly appreciated and thank-you in advance.

JAR files can be opened with WinZIP, tar, and jar. Jar files are merely convenient ways of storing/distributing/installing Java code and packages. Recently we had to move the application jar files from webapps/appname/WEB-INF/lib to common/lib because we implemented our own realm which uses our object repository; since it has to be installed in server/lib, the code for the repository cannot be installed under the web application directory. When the application is installed in common/lib it is not able to load the compiled jsp files. They are installed in common/lib/. Does anyone have an idea about why these classes are not visible?

Tomcat 5 and Mail...
Hey Everybody,
I picked up a funny.
Code that was working perfectly on Tomcat 4 now doesn't run on Tomcat 5
anymore, specifically the sending of the mail.
I have narrowed it down to this little piece of code:
CODE
//Send the message.
Transport.send(mesMailer);
/CODE
I checked my Catalina.policy file and made sure that this entry was there:
CATALINA_POLICY
permission java.net.SocketPermission mail.server.name:25,
connect,resolve ;
/CATALINA_POLICY
This didn't work, so I added the following options to the Catalina.policy file
for each individual application running on the server:
CATALINA_POLICY
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/webapps/ROOT/- {
permission java.net.SocketPermission 172.20.5.15:5432, connect;
permission java.net.SocketPermission smtp.vippayroll.co.za:25,
connect;
};
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/webapps/consulting/- {
permission java.net.SocketPermission mail.server.name:25,
connect,resolve;
};
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/webapps/debtors/- {
permission java.net.SocketPermission mail.server.name:25,
connect,resolve;
};
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/webapps/placements/- {
permission java.net.SocketPermission mail.server.name:25,
connect,resolve;
};
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/webapps/sales/- {
permission java.net.SocketPermission mail.server.name:25,
connect,resolve;
};
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/webapps/training/- {
permission java.net.SocketPermission mail.server.name:25,
connect,resolve;
};
/CATALINA_POLICY
Am I missing something?
Is there something that has majorly changed between Tomcat 4 and Tomcat 5?
Please help. :)

(Not sure how to do this on Windows, I am a linux person). - Make sure your web-application doesn't have any funny code that might get exploited by a proficient hacker (i.e. shell commands run as ROOT). - Add a blank index.html to each directory of your web-app, this prevents users from getting directory listings on your server. - Ensure that you don't give away too much information in your URL (using ? and parameters). This can easily be prevented by implementing SSL and ensuring that the users have to log on first. How can you tell when your web-app is secure?

SuSE 9.2 and Tomcat...
Hi Again, Well after pulling my hair out and getting very frustrated I have finally fixed and documented everything that needs to be done in order to get Tomcat 5 working on SuSE 9.2. This seems a little strange since I am using the version of Tomcat that comes with SuSE 9.2, but I won't say anymore on the matter. There are basically two important permission things that need to be done. 1). The files admin.xml and manager.xml in /etc/tomcat5/base/Catalina/localhost/ need to be given write access to the tomcat user. There new profile should look like this: -rw-rw-r-- 1 root tomcat 862 Oct 5 03:20 admin.xml -rw-rw-r-- 1 root tomcat 428 Oct 5 03:20 manager.xml This fix removes the previous error regarding the admin and manager applications that I posted earlier. 2). The tomcat user needs to be given access to /var/run in order to create the relevant PID file. Because my server is behind a firewall and I change the ROOT and user password on the server regularly, I changed the /var/run permissions so that everyone could read and write from and to this directory. The new profile should look like this: drwxrwxrwx 15 root root 1032 Nov 24 09:11 run This fix solves various issues regarding the admin and manager applications as well as the start.log error. Thats it. I don't know if this information will be useful to anyone, but I thought I would share it with you all anyway.

The architect did not agree. He said, But if you look at the Garden itself, in the beginning there was chaos and void, and out of that, the Garden and the world were created. So God must have been an architect. The computer scientist, who had listened to all of this said, Yes, but where do you think the chaos came from? pgp1EGCLWrCAE.pgp Description: PGP signature

Okay, Let me check if I understand you correctly. You want to replace the ROOT index.jsp with your page. If this is yes then do the following. 1). Stop Tomcat. 2). Delete all files in ROOT directory of the tomcat server. 3). Put your files in the ROOT directory. 4). Restart Tomcat.

Go run stress testers and figure out your max supported load for yourselves. I tend to agree. You need to do your own research in order to obtain the best configuration for your unique site, taking into account WAN/LAN speeds and such like. Our system is for Internal use only and serves over 600 concurrent sessions country wide and does on average 5 DB queries/insert/update every minute. We are running off a SUN Fire v40z using Tomcat 5, PostgresQL and all running off SuSE Linux 9.2 Professional. The SUN machine currently has 2 CPUs (the other two CPUs are on their way) and has 8GB of RAM. The biggest page we have takes on average 15 seconds to load (remotely), but it took a lot of Tomcat and PostgresQL tweaking to get it that way. I have spent many a night trying various little tweaks to get it just right, too many tweaks and the server gets too slow, too little tweaks and the server gets even slower. What I am trying to say is that there are no fast and hard rules that someone can tell you how many concurrent connections you should be able to serve. There are too many factors involved in this calculation that are unique to you and your site. Good luck.
