Tomcat Version detection

2005-06-20 Thread Steve Vanspall
Hi there,

I am running tomcat under linux, unfortunately can't remember whether it is 
4.1.24 or 4.1.31, which made me relise, I don't know how to find out.

When i look at the logs it jsut says Tomcat 4.1 unlike on windows where it 
actually gives the full version number.

So where would i look to find the tomcat version?

Regards

Steve

Re: Serving files using tomcat

2005-05-05 Thread Steve Vanspall
Ok thanks,

Well I have worked it out,

it turns out I needed the header

response.setHeader(Content-disposition,attachment;
filename=\report.pdf\);

added, this made it work.

So now the problem id that Internet Explorer flashes up the Open, Save,
Cance dialog box twice. Once the second one flashes up the first dissapears
so I am not too concerned. But wondering if this is a quirk, or have I done
something wrong.

My code is now

   fis = new FileInputStream(rf.getPdf());
   response.setContentType(application/pdf);
   response.setContentLength(FileUtils.countBytes(rf.getPdf())); // may
be overkill thought it may be misreporting the file length.
   response.setHeader(Content-disposition,attachment;
filename=\report.pdf\);
   dos = response.getOutputStream();

   int read = -1;
   byte[] bytes = new byte[10];
   while((read = fis.read(bytes)) != -1)
dos.write(bytes, 0, read);
   dos.flush();
   return null;

May not be critical but try using the ServletOutputStream instead of
OutputStream.
DOC URL:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletResponse.html


//Clear content of the underlying buffer in the response
//without clearing headers or status code.
response.resetBuffer();
response.setContentLength(output.length);

//Returns a ServletOutputStream suitable for writing binary data in the
response.
//The servlet container does not encode the binary data.
ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
os.write(output);
os.close();

Additionally, append   pdf=.pdf\   to the URL.

I use this code and it works in my app. Their are small differences between
how we copy the data to the response output. I don't know for sure, but this

may account for why the fragment I posted works.

The difference is small, I think it would be worth giving it a try.

 Acrobat now loads but the PDF doesn't appear.

 Probably worth mentioning that I use struts, so I forward to a blank

 problem, but not sure what else to do with the return.

 When I do the same thing with a dynamic image and forward to a page
 with a jpg content type, the image appears without a problem.

Serving files using tomcat

2005-05-04 Thread Steve Vanspall
Hi,

I have been looking around and haven't found a solution that works

basically I have a PDF that gets created dynamically. Now to save memory I have 
the PDF written to a file rather than a ByteArray. The only way I can be sure 
that I wont encounter errors creating the file is to use File.createTempFile. 
The creation goes of ok. And I have checked the file itself and the PDF looks 
great.

How do i now serve this to the user who has requested it. If I try to write it 
to the response (using the same method I use to creare dynamic image, this 
works), it just shows up a blank screen. 

The problem also is, even if it did show the PDF, acrobat, to my understand 
will read only chunks of the stream and will go pack to get more. Thisis a 
problem because there is nothing to go back for.

So the point, 

If I can just redirect the browser to a file in the tomcat temp directory (can 
I do that, will the use have access to that directory), then how do I translate 
the location of the temp directory to a url that is accesible outside. 

If not then what other suggestions can people give me.

Thanks in advance

Steve

Yes i see no difference,

I assume StreamCopier.copy() just does what my code does. I cannot find it
in any of the standard jars, so I assume this is one of your own.

Other than that everything else seems to be fine.

Oh well I am sure I will owrk it out

This is probably an obvious question, but if a JSP or some other error occurs

on the browser. 

e.g

Proper way to open threads in a servlet

2005-03-31 Thread Steve Vanspall
Hi there,

I am concerned that opening a thread in my serlvet using new Thread(Runnable) 
style code, is causing a massive hang in my system.

Basically what the thread does is email people to notify them of a change in an 
order on the system.

I want the emails to be sent in a separate thread so that the user doesn't have 
to wait for this to complete to return to the system.

Basically the email is a non crucial part, the action has already been 
performed. I know this isn't specifically a Tomcat question, but I thought I 
would ask it anyway.

The two ways this could work is that the email is placed in a queue, that is 
checked periodically, or just somehow the email(s) are sent in the background, 
but without opening a new thread using code.

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to do this. Yes I have been searching 
around, but haven't found much information.

Tahnks in advance

Steve

Tomcat Hang on Linux (hangs the entire system)

2005-03-30 Thread Steve Vanspall
Hi there, 

I am posting this in a few areas because I cannot pinpoint where the 

problem stems from. 

I have a standard Pentium III bases pc running linux. 

It has only 380 meg (or therabouts) of ram 

Using IBM JVM 1.4.1 and tomcat 4.1.18 (I know there are later version, but 

they all hang) 

I have 2 webapps running. One of them uses Apache to translate two 

different domain to the right ibay for it's content but uses the same code 

base. The second webapp is accessed, currently, using 

http://www.mycomapny.com:8080/MyApp style URL. 

The webapp just hangs. It will not load any pages, and when it hangs, both 

webapps hang. So I think this is a Tomcat or Java or Linux error. Once the 

hang occurs I cannot do a ps -ef as this also hangs. My only option is to 

reboot the machine. But it hangs half way and has to be physically powered 

off. We are going to put a new, more powerful computer in there, but for 

now I wanted to see if anyone else had experienced such a problem. Can 

you give me some pointers as to where to look for the source of the 

problem. 

This has happened before, and I got no information about it. I know it's a 

pretty vague explanation, but I don't know what more informationI can give 

you. 

The log files do not show any errors, and it never happens at the same 

point 

in the web application. At first I thought it happen when concurrent users 

logged in, but that's not the case either, and I have trimmed down the 

sychornicity management when accesing Singletons in my web app. 

Now I have been through all my code, and cannot find anything that should 

be causing an error. I have run the code under a number of different 

cirsumstances on my development machine (Windows 2000) and 

everything runs without a problem. 

Any help would be appreciated 

Regards 

Steve 





pointing subdomains to different web applications??

2004-10-13 Thread Steve Vanspall
Hi there,

still looking through various news groups for the answer, but figured this was the 
best place.

I have a number fo domains and subdomains on my system. They are set up properly on 
the server to be house in different information bays.

What I want to know is, how do I configured tomcat to recognise say.. 
containers.mydomain.com and point it to a different web application to the one that 
www.mydomain.com points to?

Is this even possible in tomcat?

If it is, I would imagine it's a pretty simple answer, so hopefully someone there can 
help me out.

Thanks in advance

TempDir???

2004-05-13 Thread Steve Vanspall
Hi there,

I have been reading about ways to get Tomcat to write to a file.

Basically I need to write a file, that only needs to be available while
tomcat is running. It is used by a background process to dynamically
configure itself, depending on what configuration tomcat is running on at
that time. When tomcat shuts down it will delete this file, thus indicating
to the background process to shut down also.

My problem is, that in Linux I cannot just write to the /tmp directory.

Is the javax.servlet.context.tempdir attribute set to a defualt of some kind
or do I have to set it myself.

If it is set to a default, how do I access it
getServletContext().getAttributr(javax.servlet.context.tempdir) returns
null.

If I ahve to set it, what permission to I have to give the directory it is
to be?

Thanks in advance

copy of 4.1.18 for Linux to set up and text here, as our production site
hangs every couple of days.

Having gone through all our code and made sure that we aren't the cause of

I have this problem where Tomcat 4.1.24 doesn't let me compile the jsp's, I

in my case this is under the Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat 4.1
directory.

the error I am getting is

I figured I would see if anyone is aware of this problem, and a way around

no spaces in it.

I was hoping that the problem would be fixed in this version, yes i did
report the bug to apache.

The reason I need 4.1.18+ is because there is a logging problem with 4.1.18
and SSL

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks, that will be my last resort.

It's a pity that's what has to be done, because the older versions are fine

Question about detecting version

2003-01-29 Thread Steve Vanspall
Hi there,

This may be an off-beat question.

Basically I am creating an installation application for my software, for
some people who are going to demonstrate it.

What I want to be able to do, is detect whether the correct version of
Tomcat is installed on their system.

The installer will only be used in a Windows NT/2000 environment. I being
platform specific goes against the whole point of JAva, but this is a case
where the guy doign the demo is all the way over the other side of the
world. Have found some classes that will read the registry in a Sun Java
environment, but Tomcat only lists the version as 4.1, is there a way to
tell whether it is 4.1.1x as opposed to 4.1.1y etc?

Hi there,

I have recently upgraded to Tomcat 4.1.19 in an attempt to overcome the SSL

I have tried a number of options, having looked it up in the archives.

Nothing seems to help, I cannot work out what has happened, and why it's not
working.

Can anyone help me.

or point me in the right direction.

I am using

Tomcat 4.1.19
Struts 1.1b2
SUN JDK 1.4.1 (have tried going back down to 1.3.1)

Question about tomcat 4.1.19

2003-01-19 Thread Steve Vanspall
Hi there,

I reported a bug, in tomcat 4.1.18, to bugzilla. The reply I got stated that
it was fixed in Tomcat 4.1.19, having not found a link to the binary for
4.1.19, I navigated tharere, and found an alpha release of it on the
website.

Does this mean it is still in development stage?

Does anyone have any idea of it's stability?

Not completely sure what alpha means, but assume, logically, it is the
release before a beta release.

Loggin with Tomcat 4.1.18LE for JDK 1.4

2003-01-15 Thread Steve Vanspall
Hi there,

I have recently switched from Tomcat 4.1.18 to 4.1.18LE for JDK 1.4

I had hoped it would stop this logging problem I am having.

For a while it looked ike it had, but now it has started again.

The error I am getting is

org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException:
org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException:
org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: Class

Caused by: org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: Class

Now I no this is a Tomcat problem, because I have switched all my
application loggin to the JDK 1.4 Logger.

Can anyone suggest where the problem may lie.


Is there a way to completely switch logging off??

Removing the logger tag in server.xml causes all loogin to be done to the
console.

I really need this sorted out, as I am trying to send a second release of my
software out.

Any help would be appreciated

Tomcat hangs under SSL connection, Clarification of Problem I have been experiencing, really need help

2003-01-15 Thread Steve Vanspall
Hi there

I am having a reall problem with Tomcat.

These are my specs

Tomcat 4.1.18LE for JDK 1.4 (Also have a problem with 4.1.18 standard)
Struts 1.1-b2
and naturally JDK 1.4.1

My application seems to work, without a hitch, until I implement the SSLext
for Struts 1.1-b2

Then things go bad.

You canbe using the webapp for any length of time, and then, all of a sudden
it will hangs.

The problem it hits is in the commons.logging area

org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException:
org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException:
org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: Class
org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger does not implement

org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger does not implement Log

Caused by: org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: Class
org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger does not implement Log


I have tried commenting out the Logger tags in server.xml, so that all the
logging goes directly to the console.

THinking htis may be a Log4j problem, I switched to JDK 1.4 logging.

None of this has helps, the only thing that stops the container from
hanging, is if I remove all SSL connection from the app.

I have posted with a few messages, but now have worked out under what
circumstances it happens.

Can anyone help me

This is really frustrating

Thanks in advance

Problem with tomcat logging

Hi there,

I have a problem with Tomcat 4.1.18

basically I am getting the following message

At first I thought that there was a problem with my app, so having searched
other mailing lists, I switched from Log4J to JDK 1.4 Logging.

It turns out that the Tomcat loggin process causes this error.

I have switched it off for now, but would prefer to have the logging go out
to a file. Is there a way to fix this problem, or perhaps have Tomcat log
using a different class?

Any help would be great

Here is a solution: If you are using JDK 1.4.1, you can use Java 1.4's
native logging abilities.  See java.util.logging.  It is quite a
powerful feature, and it uses a low-priority thread to do most of its
work, so it might perform better than log4j.

Restrict access to JSP's/URL's

2002-12-05 Thread Steve Vanspall
Hi there,

I am using Tomcat 4.1.12 and Strut1.1-b2 (it think that's the struts
version)

anyway, I can see that Tomcat has a tomcat-users.xml file. This file, as I
understand, can restrict access according to a the user-level.

What I want to know is, is there a way to restrict access to the url/jsp's
according to a dynamically retrieved user level.

e.g. All our user login id's and passwords are stored in our database. In a
similar table they have a role_cde attributed to them.

Both these beans are stord in the session when someone logs in.

Can I restrict access to certain actions/jsp's similarly to the way
tomcat-user.xml is used to restrict access?

better yet, is there a non container-specific way to do it.

I would rather not code my own xml file, if there is already something built
in to the architecture I have running.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks.

Will be doing that.

What I was wondering is, is there anything built into tomcat to allow me to
get say a security level of a certain action. That way seeing if it matches
the users security level.

Or will I need to make another xml file of my own to configure each action,
and which roles can access it?

Restriction of access to action/JSP's

2002-12-05 Thread Steve Vanspall
Ok I think I can pinpoint my question a bit more now.

I know I need to code my own filter for this.

What I need to find out, is, how does Tomcat decide which of it's users (in
tomcat-users.xml) can access different actions.

presumably there is a setting for the action itself. Or perhaps for a group
of URL's

if it's for the action itself, is there a way to access that actions
properties in java. Does Struts ro tomcat store them somewhere, and can I
acces the information from a filter. That way, I could check the user level,
and decide what to do with the response.

Tomcat looks at the URL patterns in your security-constraint element(s).
If the context-relative part of the request URL matches, it enforces the
auth-constraint and/or user-data-constraint clauses associated with
that security-constraint.  Note that all of this is based solely on the
original request URL -- security constraints are *not* applied on request
dispatcher includes and forwards.

 presumably there is a setting for the action itself. Or perhaps for a
group
 of URL's

level,
 and decide what to do with the response.


Struts, like any application, can perform dynamic security checks in
addition to those performed by container, by calling:
* request.getRemoteUser() - to get the username of the logged-in user
* request.getUserPrincipal() - to get the Principal object representing
  the logged-in user (advanced use cases only)
* request.isUserInRole() - to check whether the logged-in user
  possesses the specified role name

In particular, Struts uses the last of these method calls if you include a
role attribute on your action definition.  You can, in your own servlets
and filters, do exactly the same thing if you want to.

Note that there is no way for an application-level filter to dynamically
define user and role information *before* the container applies security
constraints.  All of that happens before any user-level filters or
servlets are ever invoked.

 Steve Vanspall

problem with servlet.jar

2002-10-08 Thread Steve Vanspall

Hi there,

I am using Tomcat 4.1.12.

Everything was working fine. However to make sure that my webapp will work when 
installed elsewhere, I tried installing it on another machine.

I installed

Tomcat 4.1.12
JDK 1.4.1
and my web-app

When I start it up I get the following message

WebappClassLoader: validateJarFile(C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 
4.1\webapps\CRMSoftwareApp\WEB-INF\lib\servlet.jar) - jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 
2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class



However I am using the servlet.jar file that comes with tomcat. I just moved it into 
my web-app lib directory, to please Eclipse. This installation is identical to the one 
on my other machine and it works fine.



Can anyone help



Thanks in advance

org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process takes too long

2002-09-30 Thread Steve Vanspall

Hi there,

here is the situation.

I have a special List that cretes Html code as a java-bean is added to it.

This eliminates the need for an extra iteration when the JSP loads, to prepare the 
HTML in teh page.

This List is kept in the Application scope, and is retrieved when needed by placing a 
%=form.getList().getHtml()% tag in my JSP.

The problem I am having is that if the String that getHtml return is particularly 
long, a line in 

org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(java.io.InputStream, 
java.io.OutputStream)

seems to take a reasonably long time to process. This has not happened with the 
previous versions of tomcat.

Basically it should only be doing an out.write on the String.

on the suggestion of someone in the Struts user mailing list, I changes to JSTL tags 
and replaced 
%=form.getList().getHtml()% with c:out value=${form.list.html} escapeXml=false/

this, I expected would do the same thing.

Hence the same holdup in the Method: apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process

Can anyone help expalin what might be the problem here, and how to avoid tomcat using 
the method it is trying to invoke.

Unfortuantely I cannot find the source code for 
apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process or the Sourcecode for Tomcat 4.1.12 so I 
don't know exactly where it si sticking.

Any help would be appreciated

handling reload

2002-07-07 Thread Steve Vanspall

Hi there,

I have a problem with my web-app where I want to be able to just return to
the surrent page if the refresh button has been pushed on the browser.

I don't want it to go into the action at all in this case.

I will give you an example of what my problem is.


Say someone wants to signup a new member:

when they click the link to begin, my version of a Token is set,

this is a basically just an object that sits inthe session under an
attribute name, say addMember.

this holds a boolean as to whether it is open or closed, and a long
representing the long representation fo the time this token was set.

so anyway, when the click the link to add a member, it checks to see that
there isn't already an open token in the session for the addMember
procedure.

if there is an open token, it throws an error.

however if they begin and there isn't one, it sets the token.

After performing this request, if they hit refresh in the brower, the action
tests for the token, then, finding it open, it throws an error.

Can anyway suggest a way to stop the action from being re-done on a refresh.

Regards

Steve Vanspall

RE: port 8080

2002-04-16 Thread Steve Vanspall

I had the same problem, check the services under control panel, you will
most probably have something else using that port.

I personally had IBM HTTP server using it. But it may be a database service,
if you have one running.

If you know what it is, and it is not essential to run, you can stop the
process.

otherwise you can change the port Tomcat uses.

the settings can be found in the server.xml file.

just search for 8080 and change the port. You may have to do a bit of trial
and error to get a free port, I used 9090 when I was testing different
version of Tomcat.

Hot Code Swapping with tomcat 4.0.3

2002-04-16 Thread Steve Vanspall

Hi there

I am using Tomcat 4.0.3 with sun jdk1.4, both which are supposed to allow
hot swapping of code. Unfortunately it seems that when debugging the code
swapping doesn't work. Is there an additional switch I should be using with
the JVM

When I used tomcat 3.3 the session would restart, but atleast it would let
me change the code. With Tomcat 4.0.3 neither happens.

Also the shutdown.bat file doesn't seem to shutdown Tomcat at all.

Any suggestions

Regards

RE: Internatinalisation Question

2002-04-15 Thread Steve Vanspall


Hi there

I have been dealing with this problem for the last few days

I am definately making progress now.

I found that the @ page  tag actually works

the form receives information correctly, the only problem now is that the character 
put when converted to rgular java character set, go in correctly, but the utf-8 
representation of these characters are incorrect.

Obviously this is due to the fact that the character I am entering in do not have the 
same character representaion in UTF-8 as they do in ISO-8859-1.

so

亞乽乨亪仮 gets converted to 亞乽乨亪仮 i UTF-8.

I understand that the above chinese character will not make sense I just picked them 
out of the windows character set.

Now for the question.

are the chracter I enter in from the Windows Character Set program, the same as the 
ones that would be entered in from a native chinese keyboard.

If so, why is the conversion not working,

If not, where can I get a program that will emulate the chracters that would be 
entered, so as I can see if the problem lies in Windows or with my conversions. 

My ultimate aim is to create in which I can set the language on the pages, but have 
the code itself not have to be changed. This app would need to work in Thai, Chinese 
as well as Western European Languages. My database is set to use UTF-8.

Any further help would be greatly appreciated

Don't know.  Don't have access to Windows at the moment [between jobs

it do?

One trick I have used in the past was to just cut and paste data from
a good page in the proper encoding.  There are some nice example pages 
at http://vancouver-webpages.com/multilingual/index.shtml that I've
used in the past.  But, that's mostly native encodings.  There are
some native and unicode samples at http://www.unicode.org/iuc/iuc10/ , 
oddly enough, the Unicode conference announcements are multi-lingual.
There is also  a decent page at the UN.  They have the Universal

RE: Authentication without using forms

2002-04-15 Thread Steve Vanspall

We have a similar situation here.

In our case we keep the bean in which you store this information, in session
when they logon.

You could just store the userid and password in session when they log-on and
remove it when they log off.

e.g. session.getAttribute(User Information, UserInfoBean);

that's how the forms store there information when forwarding to other pages.

Foreing Character encoding from jsp form (Character Encoding doesn't work)

2002-04-11 Thread Steve Vanspall

HI there,

I am having problem with reading foreign characters from a form.

I am trying to make it do that Chinese characters can be entered.

When I enter them the a received by the request in the form #23495;#34054;

etc...

I have set the character encoding and filter for UTF-8 in web.xml, I know
that it goes through the filter, but the output is the same. presumably
because it reads each character in as '' '#' '2' '3' 4' '9' '5' ';', seeing
these character as regular ascii character, it doesn't try to change them

All my pages are set to UTF-8 charcter encoding.

I have altered the filter code myself to intercept the filter and recursive
replace these code.

basically converting the integere one by one into chars.

two problems arise from this.

1. When I then add then string them together using a string buffer/string I
get a string of '??', this is also how it is entered into the database
(which is set to UTF-8 encoding also)

2. Surely there is a better way to do this.

Can anybody help me here,

Thanks in advance

What browser are you using to submit the form?

Before you start getting parameters, you need to do a
request.setCharacterEncoding(UTF-8);

I couldn't understand from below if you're already doing that. Assuming that
you ultimately want the characters to end up in a utf-8 encoding.

If the browser url-encodes the parameters, (for example if this is an HTTP
GET request), you'll need to get a decoder to decode that and convert it
into regular UTF-8. I have a decoder in java, if you want it.

Thanks,

Evan

HI there,

I am having problem with reading foreign characters from a form.

I am trying to make it do that Chinese characters can be entered.

When I enter them the a received by the request in the form #23495;#34054;

etc...

I have set the character encoding and filter for UTF-8 in web.xml, I know
that it goes through the filter, but the output is the same. presumably
because it reads each character in as '' '#' '2' '3' 4' '9' '5' ';', seeing
these character as regular ascii character, it doesn't try to change them

All my pages

All my pages are set to UTF-8 charcter encoding.

I have altered the filter code myself to intercept the filter and recursive
replace these code.

basically converting the integere one by one into chars.

two problems arise from this.

1. When I then add then string them together using a string buffer/string I
get a string of '??', this is also how it is entered into the database
(which is set to UTF-8 encoding also)

2. Surely there is a better way to do this.

Can anybody help me here,

Thanks in advance

Still need help with foreign characters

2002-04-11 Thread Steve Vanspall

Ok here's the problem

I beleive I have succesfully converted the html codes given to me into
characters

ie.

#12451;

into the character repesented by integer 12451;

atleast when I debug, the variables show up correctly.

my problem now is that when the character is inserted into the database, it
becomes an upside-down question mark.

The database encoding is set to UTF-8, as is the jsp encoding.

Can anyone help me here?
