Do symlinks under aliased directories require any special handing/configuration (tomcat = 7.0.56)?

Please forgive any misuse of terminology here.  I am a sysadmin involved in devops deployments of tomcat servers and applications, but I don't really know much about how tomcat actually works. I am a unix guy! We recently had a deployment of a third party application that resulted in tomcat

Re: Storing JNDI binding password using encryption

Thanks Mark I tried just extend the JDNI Realm class and overriding getConnectionPassword but it doesn't appear that my code ever called, even those my fully qualified classname is listed in the realm xml element. Any ideas? On Wed, Jul 19, 2017 at 12:09 PM, Mark Thomas wrote:

Storing JNDI binding password using encryption

Assuming I had access to a reversible encryption mechanism and wanted to store the JNDI binding password in an encrypted form by extending the JNDIRealm class, which method should i override to encrypt the password stored in server.xml on the fly?

RE: run thread from servlet
