About environment entries
Question number one : I've noticed that Tomcat 5.5.X includes environment entries definition possibility in the admin webapp. Are those of any use in a Struts framework webapp ? I would like to access their value to configure my webapps built on Struts so I could deploy them on various environments without trouble. Is it the right way ? Question number two : What's the correct and practical way to get the Tomcat path from a webapp ??

Cannot load JDBC driver class 'org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver'
Hi fellas,
I'm working on Tomcat 5.5.7 on a webapp compiled by Ant using shared and common
libraries in their respective tomcat folders.
My mysql driver (mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar) is in the
$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/ folder and I still get the following message :
Cannot load JDBC driver class 'org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver'
It happens when the dataSourceVariable.getConnection() method of type
org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource is called in my program.
The thing is, it works fine when I put all my libraries in the
wabapp/application/WEB-INF/lib/ folder but I need to share (for production
purposes) the mysql driver.
My Ant build.xml file includes the following directives, which include the
libraries in a path variable :
path id=compile.classpath
pathelement location=${tomcat.home}/common/classes/
fileset dir=${tomcat.home}/common/endorsed
include name=*.jar/
/fileset
fileset dir=${tomcat.home}/common/lib
include name=*.jar/
/fileset
pathelement location=${tomcat.home}/shared/classes/
fileset dir=${tomcat.home}/shared/lib
include name=*.jar/
/fileset
/path
And my compile target is as follows :
target name=compile depends=prepare
description=Compiler les sources Java
mkdir dir=${build.home}/WEB-INF/classes/
javac srcdir=${src.dir}
destdir=${build.dir}
debug=${compile.debug}
deprecation=${compile.deprecation}
optimize=${compile.optimize}
classpath refid=compile.classpath/
/javac
!-- Copy application resources --
copy todir=${build.home}/WEB-INF/classes
fileset dir=${build.dir} excludes=**/*.java/
/copy
copy todir=${build.home}/WEB-INF/
fileset
dir=${basedir}/WEB-INF/
includes=**/*.xml, **/*.tld, **/*.dtd/
/copy
copy todir=${build.home}/WEB-INF/lib
fileset dir=${basedir}/WEB-INF/lib includes=*.jar /
/copy
/target
I've been working for over a week on this one and I'm out of ideas... if anyone
has a flash, feel free to express it, who knows, it might help.

Tomcat 5.5 classloader log4j vs JCL issue
I'm having the same issue and after trying to follow the instructions given by Paul Austin, I've got stuck on the part that says to add a listener. There's no place for a listener in web.xml according to the dtd validation file. Am I wrong ? (I'm using Tomcat 5.5.9 with the struts framework) Everything else went fine. I've created a jar file with your source code. BTW, where am I supposed to put this jar anyways ? in common/lib/ ??

Re: Apache-like Deny/Allow directives
The deny directives in the httpd.conf are not respected when it comes to pages ending with either of the .jsp or .do extensions, and are therefore relayed to Tomcat which then gives the response to the browser. The Deny directives are not respected for these requests.

Please verify first that you did not added a secont connector on port 8009 in tomcat/conf/server.xml for they cannot listen both on the same port.

RE: Paths for JkMount
Hi,
I used relative path to mount files to Tomcat with the JkMount directive so I
don't think your problem comes from that.
First. Be sure that :
- Aliasses have been created in httpd.conf
- Your JkMount directives are placed between section 2
And 3 of httpd.conf
- Your JkMount directives are placed AFTER the Alias
Directives
If that doesn't work, let us know.

Objet : Paths for JkMount
Hello -
I am working on a proof of concept application, porting from tomcat 3.n
and Apache 1.3 to Tomcat 5.5.9 and Apache 2.0.52. The problem - every
time this app would try to execute a .jsp file, Apache would return an
error. After a bunch of troubleshooting in httpd.conf, I found the
problem. It was these JkMount directives:
JkMount /servlets/* worker1
JkMount /*.jsp worker1
JkMount /*.do worker1
I was assuming these paths were all really relative to my DocumentRoot -
but noo! The path evidently needs to be a real, absolute path.
These directives work:
JkMount /var/www/html/{approot}/servlets/* worker1
JkMount /var/www/html/{approot}/*.jsp worker1
JkMount /var/www/html/{approot}/*.do worker1
(where {approot} is the directory with all the html, jsp, and other
files.)
And now the app seems to behave properly.
But this bothers me - aren't all these supposed to be relative to
DocumentRoot? Am I missing something or are JkMount directives supposed
to point to an absolute path?
Thanks
