No wonder those guys were so reticent to change the JDBC API to (directly) support the upcoming Java Date Time APIs: they've made everyone so angry in the past they don't want to do it again ;) - -chris Chris, DID/WILL they update the JDBC API to support the new date/time API? Or did they

JMS in a Tomcat Environment

2013-01-30 Thread Williams, Nick
Knowing that Tomcat is not a full JavaEE application server, I understand that it doesn't support all JavaEE specifications, and that JMS is one of the specifications that Tomcat does not implement. However, I'm wondering if any Tomcat users out there have any experience with any JMS solutions

RE: 64 Bit Tomcat

2013-01-30 Thread Williams, Nick
Our enterprise apps are deployed in a 64-bit environment and we have not seen any issues on Tomcat 64-bit with Spring Framework, Spring Security and Hibernate. I would wager that, these days, 64-bit is more common than not. However, I don't have any research to back up my opinion. Nick

RE: Does maxPostSize has an effect on file upload?

2012-12-14 Thread Williams, Nick
So I read some code in org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.java. When parseParameters() is called, it checks whether the Content-Type is multipart/form-data or application/x-www-form-urlencoded. If it's application/x-www-form-urlencoded, it checks to make sure that the Content-Length is not

If it was using the global Content-length header, it would count not only the encoded data bytes, but also the parts separators, headers etc.. So that's nice. It counts only the net data bytes, which is easier to compare to the size on disk of a file that you would upload. Indeed. A great

RE: Does maxPostSize has an effect on file upload?

2012-12-14 Thread Williams, Nick
The way Tomcat is apparently doing it now is much more sensible, in my humble opinion, because it does allow a direct and easy comparison with the files being uploaded. And since as per above it needs to be kept in some cases anyway, my vote - if I had one - would be to not change it. I
