OK, my confusion came from accessing the root and expecting the web.xml tag to take care of my base page. Is there a reason it doesn't get an encodeURL()?

Re: multiple tomcat instances for every application
If you need a thumb rule, you usually choose multiple instances over single. Downside is, I think, it only uses little more memory. But else than that multiple instance is much better choice. I ran into exactly same issue. But I changed my application instead of running it multiple times. I separated databases for each users then routed them accordingly. Edited some logics but now every user has their own "workspaces" but single app. It is much easier now to develop & maintain. This also could be an option.

TC 6.0.2*: Dynamically-compiled jsps/tags not being loaded
Hello! My team has been having an issue wherein our application occasionally fails to start up because Tomcat claims it can't find find a dynamically-created classfile. This doesn't happen all the time, and restarting Tomcat (albeit more than once, sometimes) resolves it. For example, I just started my Tomcat 6.0.26 instance (via Eclipse WTP, on OS 10.7.5), tried to load a page, and got: ** snip ** An error occurred at line: 1 in the jsp file: /WEB-INF/jsp/about/about_impact.jsp org.apache.jsp.tag.web.about_tag cannot be resolved to a type 1: <%@ include file="../common/constants.jsp" %> ** snip/ ** The constants.jsp referenced above contains: <%@ taglib prefix="templates" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %> ... and /WEB-INF/tags contains the "about.tag" file. The "$CATALINA_HOME/work/Catalina/localhost/_/org/apache/jsp/tag/web" directory exists, and it contains both about_tag.class and about_tag.java, with timestamps corresponding to when I loaded the page. I then deleted those files, and refreshed the page in my browser. about_tag.class and about_tag.java get recreated in that directory, but I still get the above error claiming about_tag can't be resolved. I then restarted Tomcat, refreshed the page in my browser, and all is well. I've also seen this happen regularly for my Windows-using colleagues, as well as in a non-Eclipse Linux-based 6.0.29 instance, and (hearsay) a colleague reported it happening in his Tomcat 7. Thinking it was a runtime race condition, we also tried telling Tomcat to load the JSP on startup via the web.xml, and while we did see the .java and .class files being created on startup, we still ran into the issue. We haven't yet tried pre-compiling our JSPs/TAGs before starting Tomcat -- but that shouldn't be necessary, right? I'd love some advice/insight in how I might investigate this further, or if there's a "gotcha" I might be running into. It "feels" like a race condition in the classloader, but I don't want to submit a bug report without a reliable test case, of course. Since we can't reliably recreate the situation, I'm having trouble putting that together. This seems to happen more often for me when I'm switching between substantially-different Git branches, so I thought it might have to do with the /work directory having older versions of the JSPs/TAGs, but one of my colleagues claims to clean her "/work" directory every time she switches branches, and before starting Tomcat, and still getting the issue.

You might find that you don't have a choice. > I googled before, it seams it's really usual run multiple tomcat. Some environments run multi-Tomcat (we do in our environment), some run multi-tenant in a single Tomcat. As Mikolaj says, there are good reasons for choosing either strategy. We run webapps in separate Tomcat/JVM pairs for stability and serviceability: we can restart one web application (down to the JVM, of course) and not disturb any other webapps. We can upgrade, downgrade, etc. any part of one deployment and not affect other webapps. A memory leak or other resource exhaustion problem in one webapp doesn't affect any of the others. These are rare occurrences, but when they happen it's nice when they don't take-down the other webapps at the same time. > I think it's not good. why we run just one httpd for all hosts? Why *do* you run only one httpd? Here's one reason: httpd is much more fault-tolerant than Tomcat (really the JVM), especially in prefork MPM mode: child processes that encounter problems simply die and are replaced. With Tomcat, an OOME caused by a single thread can take-down the whole JVM and all applications running on it. > I want to say, when I run 3 tomcats, some thing would run 3 times > in memory. Most JVMs use shared memory for some things like core classes, etc. Each process still gets a separate heap, etc. but running multiple JVMs on the same machine isn't as bad as it sounds. > but when I run just one, there is one of them. 1 process will be > responsible for all Catalinas. of course it's totally depends on > tomcat architecture. Tomcat's architecture is not difficult to grasp. With 3 copies of the same application, this is less of an issue but one reason you might want to run different Tomcat instances is if you want to use a different JVM for each application. You may need a huge heap for one customer and so you want a 64-bit JVM while another customer only needs a 32-bit JVM. You could save some memory by having a smaller 64-bit-JVM-heap and a completely separate 32-bit-JVM-heap. You really have to evaluate your own requirements and make the decision that fits your situation best. If you think it's best to use a single JVM/Tomcat deployment, go right ahead and do it: nobody is going to tell you it's the wrong decision. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlCqlTAACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBNKACcDwCV1bcw5LpUB48PGa+nVI24 HnwAni6cDmjt0H2P4Q2EBAu758BipjQe =Koik -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

After that, Tomcat will ignore any context.xml in your webapp unless you UNDEPLOY and REDEPLOY your webapp. This is a feature, not a bug: system administrators often need to customize context.xml for their environments and uploading a new WAR file should not clobber that configuration. If you need to update context.xml, you'll need to undeploy and redeploy (or edit the conf/.../[app].xml in place and bounce Tomcat). - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlCqkkYACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBZXwCfU7ImFOZy+uHPmijLdDoWBLgN RMYAniQU0B+3gvG08Ovwy7cKUyVaO16y =9+dE -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/.xml is different from application's context.xml
I've been running a web application on Tomcat, when I make some changes in the application, including context.xml, and redeploy it, I start receiving an exception: javax.naming.NamingException: Cannot create resource instance at org.apache.naming.factory.ResourceFactory.getObjectInstance(ResourceFactory.java:143) at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getObjectInstance(NamingManager.java:304) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:793) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:140) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:781) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:140) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:781) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:140) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:781) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:153) at org.apache.naming.SelectorContext.lookup(SelectorContext.java:137) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:392) After looking around, I realise that the appname.xml in CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost is different than an updated context.xml, so when an application tries to look up a jndi resource, it cannot find any.

Start it up and see if the root and example applications work OK. 2.) On the Tomcat instance that generates the error, add the "-verbose" JVM option.

Issue with missing files while migrating to Tomcat 7.0.32
Hi, We are currently upgrading our Tomcat from 5.5.23 to 7.0.32. The primary hurdle we are facing is with missing files(jsp), which Tomcat 5.5.23 used to tolerate. When it encounters a page that tries to include a file that is missing (Missing because the file needs to be loaded only conditionally - like for specific locales) it throws the following error: org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher invoke SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception javax.servlet.ServletException: File "/application/MyInclude.jsp" not found at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.handleMissingResource(JspServlet.ja va:412) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:379) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:334) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:722) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(Applica tionFilterChain.java:305) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilt erChain.java:210) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.invoke(ApplicationDispatc her.java:749) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.doInclude(ApplicationDisp atcher.java:605) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.include(ApplicationDispat cher.java:544) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspRuntimeLibrary.include(JspRuntimeLibrary.ja va:954) We have many such files and updating all the relevant files to correct this seems to be practically impossible.

multiple tomcat instances for every application

The new tests explore url path extensions to carry the sessionid in the absence of cookies. I have a couple of cases left to develop, which are closely related to your situation. If you are not in too much hurry, then I suggest you wait for me, rather than waste time developing a demonstration war... I'll get back to you later this week if I need any more information about your problem, or even if I think you are just experiencing a "that's just the way it works" situation (at the moment I am not sure). Brian, Thanks for the post, good to hear that my post hasn't been lost. I do have a cheap test in a .war, attached. All it does is to try and get through the form login. Form login works with cookie sessions but fails with URL sessions. I've left commented out all the attempts to get past this in login.jsp and in other files. I really think the form login with URL validation got broken recently. I've not been able to make it work with 7.0.32 but think it was working with an earlier revision. I suspect that the combination of invalidating the original session and creating a new one combined with losing the original requested URL forces folks to simply cycle through j_security_check - if login fails it goes to the error handler, if I pass it fails with a 408 because it's lost the original URL. The same logic works when I change the tracking-mode from URL to COOKIE; leading me to believe that I have things setup and it's some breakage in authentication. server.xml: web.xml 30 URL tomcat-users.xml: Russ, Sorry about the delay. I started to look at your demo war. Tomcat builds with a standard user and role, so I decided to open your war and edit your web.xml to use tomcat/tomcat. I noticed that you have only one security constraint: Typer /* GET POST tomcat That didn't look right to me, because you also have: FORM /logon.jsp /logonError.jsp I /thought/ that meant an unauthenticated user does not have permission to access your logon.jsp or logonError.jsp files. I have always included an explicit "allow unauthenticated users" security constraint for those pages in my own web.xml files. HOWEVER, I WAS WRONG! When I followed your webapp through the FormAuthenticator I discovered the forwardToLoginPage and forwardToErrorPage methods do not make any reference to the security constraints for the webapp. i.e. the form-login-config pages are automatically accessible to unauthenticated users. (Thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn something new!) Once I had your with-cookies demo working properly, I then added the session-config section with a tracking-mode of URL to your web.xml. I was lazy and didn't use a stable tomcat release - I just ran it under my current version of the trunk, which is deliberately a couple of weeks back-level. I was very surprised to find that pressing the submit button with a good username and password threw the browser out with a connection reset! I little bit of debugging and I discovered that authentication was looping - each time j_security_check authenticated ok, but the session created by the original HTTP GET to your protected resource was not being recovered from the cache. The line in your logon.jsp: ... was the cause of the loop. I replaced it with: ... and the logon was successful. This is because the browser will now POST the FORM with a url path parameter which encodes the correct jsessionid value. This issue was discussed at length on the users mailing list under this topic: "AuthenticatorBase setChangeSessionIdOnAuthentication without cookies" http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-users/201209.mbox/%3c505eda87.1080...@pingtoo.com%3E Authenticated access to restricted resources can only happen if the browser tells tomcat the session id when it requests ANY of those restricted resources. This is usually done via cookies, but when cookies are turned off the webapp has to keep reminding the browser of the session id - especially if the default behaviour is being used by the Container, when the session id is deliberately changed after authentication. Your protected jsp's MUST ALL use response.encodeURL() if you want your webapp to work properly without cookies. Note to self: is my observed j_security_check loop an artefact of my improperly updated sandbox, or is there a bug? I will try to add a specific unit test to explore this behaviour soon. As you can tell I'm not a regular user of Tomcat. That p

Unless you call getSession() or getSession(true) no new session is created. (There is a small number of components, such as FormAuthenticator, that will create a session, but all them are off by default). Note that you can implement a javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener (like the one in the examples webapp). Its "sessionCreated()" method will be called whenever a session is created in your webapp. If there is no session, no urlrewriting happens. The set-cookie response header is sent only when a new session is created. Regarding some processing of incoming cookie header, I think it will be parsed, but I am sure that its value is not used unless getSession(false) is called (which causes a lookup of an existing session using that ID). You should be able to ignore that overhead.
