Aesthetics Suggestions

2004-09-01 Thread V. Karthik Kumar
Hi,

1. Should there be a redirection page (say, index.jsp or index.htm) to
./html when manager app is invoked through http://localhost:8080/manager
, or that it entirely defeats the purpose?

2. I could run the newer version of tomcat, and a link to the admin page
has been given by default in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp
... But because the admin app was not given by default, don't you guys
feel that the link should be removed, or replaced by a page which gives
instructions on how to deploy the admin app? 

3. Should the packaging of the admin app be changed to a .war file
instead ? Else, It really doesn't make sense to split it from the main
distribution IMHO, because it is so darn inconvenient ;) to extract one
tar.gz after another... 

Regards,
Karthik

Re: How to configure logs in Tomcat 5.5?

2004-09-01 Thread V. Karthik Kumar
Hi,

This is because the org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger class was
deprecated in favor of the commons-logging API (and subsequently the
log4j API, though the latter is not needed, ) ...

Also see:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/api/org/apache/commons/logging/impl/Jdk14Logger.html

Please see this message:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=108330970225012&w=2

and a message on how to set it up, here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=108578233003073&w=2

Re: jndi-datasource

2004-09-01 Thread V. Karthik Kumar
Hmmm,

But seriously, there ought to be a better way to add datasources in the
future... 

Probably the only solution is to set-up a LocalDataSourceFactory, when
an entry exists in Context.xml ...  and then add these to the current
classpath... Yeah, I know it sucks, but when it's possible to have
add-on libraries, Tomcat can provide a better managed LocalDSFactory as
well, which can

a. Inherit from the Server's DS
b. Override with the User-defined one, when existent

Re: tag file encoding problem

2004-08-31 Thread V. Karthik Kumar
use: 

response.setCharacterEncoding("Whatever"); <-- internally, this is what
the tags translate to...

Before u carry on with out.print() statements...

And one more thing.. there is an option available to add encoding
messages by default; a filter is available by default

filters.setCharacterEncodingFilter

look in the servlets-examples\WEB-INF\web.xml

:)

Hi!

2004-08-31 Thread V. Karthik Kumar
Hi,

I'm reporting this some sort of unusual behavior in the manager...  (WRT
Tomcat 5.0.27) ... 

When a user tries to start a web-app that has been started already, and
then stop it, it becomes unusable again... The current way to solve such
a thing is:

1. Shutdown the server
2. Clean up in the work/Catalina and work/Standalone directories
3. Re-start the server

Regards,
Karthik.
