Re: Broken tomcat 6.0 config after SSL install.
Taking the whole of the message above, it would look as if the new guy wasn't too sure about how to set up SVN SSL under Tomcat, and chose to set it up on a front-end Apache instead. (Which, in the principle, is also how I would set it up, since I have no idea if there exists an SVN-capable webapp for Tomcat). The fact that you are seeing JSP pages raw probably means that he set things up so that Apache can bypass Tomcat, and serve the JSP pages directly from the Tomcat webapps directories (which is not good). The way in which this kind of setup is normally done, is ascii-graphically as follows : browser --(1)-- Apache + connector --(2)-- Tomcat and usually in such a case, you would arrange for only the connection (1) to be HTTPS (in other words, one would terminate SSL at the Apache level), and have the conversation between Apache and Tomcat (2) remain unencrypted (particularly if they are on the same server). For the connector at the Apache level, there exists several possibilities : 1) mod_jk (at the Apache level), talking to a Connector ..protocol=AJP/1.3 on the Tomcat side b) mod_proxy mod_proxy_ajp at the Apache level, also talking to a Connector ..protocol=AJP/1.3 on the Tomcat side c) mod_proxy mod_proxy_http at the Apache level, talking to a Connector ..protocol=HTTP/1.1 on the Tomcat side ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse also work. Then, you have to configure Apache and its connector properly, so that it will : - process locally what is not destined to Tomcat (such as probably the SVN bit) - pass-through (or rather proxy) to Tomcat what belongs to Tomcat (such as requests for JSP pages) Yup. The proper way to do that depends on the connector which is used. So you would first need to find out which that is. Any Proxy... statements in the Apache configuration ? ... Hope that helps a bit to clarify what is going on. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org Thanks for all the good suggestions thus far. Going forward, we will implement the connector approach. But for now, we just want to get 'back' to the previous configuration where tomcat was handling it's requests just fine. Svn can wait. We don't have any specific proxies and I don't think there are any proxy statements in the config files. For our main flow of requests, tomcat was listening on a custom port, which was (or should have been) totally unrelated to the https port. I've just been trying to get the config back to where it was, but have been unsuccessful. Stopping apache results in no web processing. How can I get tomcat to be THE web server again? Why? You can easily get this done, you are closer than you think. I'll show you how we do it. We are on Solaris 10, Tomcat 6.0.29 and the latest HTTPD 2.2 package. We actually have the 3 different tomcats behind httpd on this server - confluence, jira, and our own admin webapps. The svn+ssh is configured as a separate virtual host as is our admin webapps. SVN also has viewvc setup and the svn is password protected. There are also apache hosted directories. Here is a good part of our config with domain names changed: Here is the admin site's conf/server.xml: Connector port=8445 protocol=HTTP/1.1 SSLEnabled=true enableLookups=false disableUploadTimeout=true maxThreads=150 scheme=https secure=true clientAuth=false sslProtocol=TLS URIEncoding=UTF-8 keystorePass=xx keystoreFile=/my/servers.jks / Engine name=Catalina defaultHost=localhost Host name=localhost appBase=webapps unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve allow=10.10.*.*,127.0.0.1/ Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.FastCommonAccessLogValve directory=logs prefix=access_local. suffix=.log pattern=common resolveHosts=false/ /Host Host name=admin.x.com appBase=webapps-admin unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve prefix=access_public. suffix=.log pattern=common/ /Host /Engine Here is the httpd.conf NameVirtualHost *:80 NameVirtualHost *:443 SSLProtocol -ALL +SSLv2 +SSLv3 VirtualHost _default_:80 Redirect permanent / https://ops.x.com/ /VirtualHost VirtualHost *:80 ServerName ops.x.com Redirect permanent / https://ops.x.com/ /VirtualHost VirtualHost *:443 ServerName ops.x.com SSLEngine On SSLProxyEngine On SSLCertificateFile /opt/pkg/etc/httpd/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /opt/pkg/etc/httpd/server.key SSLCACertificateFile /opt/pkg/etc/httpd/intermediate.crt
Re: Populating Oracle v$session.program from Tomcat Context.xml
Chris,
You can use the following in the connectionInitSqls to make sure a suitable
variable it set
exec dbms_application_info.set_action('INSERTING');
The site http://psoug.org/reference/sys_context.html references a bucket
load of different context parameters that can be set - CLIENT_IDENTIFIER and
CLIENT_INFO seem likely candidates. Then each time a connection is added to
the pool, suitable context parameters are set, and you can view them when
querying gv$session.
This seems like a suitable fix for the question originally posed.l I would
like to learn if this won't work, what is wrong with it. Without feedback,
hard to understand what is wrong
I plan to try this technique soon. It would really help us understand our
oracle load from tomcat vs. applications.
Thanks!
Regards,
Dave

Re: Populating Oracle v$session.program from Tomcat Context.xml
We'd like to be able to tell apart database sessions from the 15 or so tomcat applications we have running on our web-servers. Most of them use similar logins, so we can't query the username from gv$session. We were hoping to instead query to program field to tell them apart. We were able to make this functionality work with the thin client, but we'd rather use the OCI client because it allows our web-apps to reconnect to the database service after a loss of connectivity (say during a cluster node reboot). I believe that it is possible to do Fast Connection Failover using the Thin driver. We were on the verge of testing, but have been waiting months of some required Solaris patches to be applied by our overworked Sysadmin. But it ought to be possible. You have write your own ConnectionManager class. We plan to try these jars - ojdbc6.jar, ons.jar and ucp.jar from Oracle. Your connection string gets complex, but essentially ONS is contacted by the Oracle Grid Infrastructure to reset connections. Here is how we understand it for our aborted tests. 1) FCF helps do auto switch over in the java thin client 2) ONS passes to FCF the message sent to Data Guard from Oracle Restart during an auto switchover or fail over. It also passes the message from Data Guard during a manual switchover. 3) Data Guard does the database switch over. 4) Oracle Restart - monitors the data guard observer and triggers auto switch or fail over via data guard. It also manages restarting other needed oracle applications in the right order. Listener, dbconsole, agents, etc... I'm interested if anyone has experience with it? Regards, Dave So far though we've had no luck in getting it to work with OCI. Most of the suggestions and info out on the web imply that the best way to do it with OCI is programmatically from the java app. That's the dilemma. Do we have to take the time to change our apps to populate the program field, or can we do it from the context.xml file from our app?

Re: Populating Oracle v$session.program from Tomcat Context.xml
Hello all... We have some working tomcat 6 instances that we'd like to identify by querying the v$session.program field the oracle database they connect to. While there are no errors on startup for the tomcat instance, and we can connect to the database, nothing gets populated in v$session. This functionality seems to work for the oracle thin driver, but when I try using OCI nothing happens. The original field values persist. I've also tried the module and client_info fields, also with no luck. Here’s a sample from my resource block minus the extra stuff. Resource name=jdbc/resource auth=Container type=javax.sql.DataSource driverClassName=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver connectionProperties=v$session.program=MyApp; url=jdbc:oracle:oci:@MyService/ I’ve posted this question to the oracle support forums with no luck, but I’m assuming more people here are running oracle than people there running tomcat. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We've used both OCI from Fortran and Thin Drivers from Java for a long time. As far as whether V$SESSION.PROGRAM is filled. It is not consistent for the Thin Driver, it depends on proper matching of the thin driver version with the Oracle. For example version 9 JDBC does not populate PROGRAM on Oracle 8 database. I have never seen the OCI set the PROGRAM value, but then we have been using the version 6 driver (code is from the early 90s). We are upgrading to Oracle 11 and I still haven't ever seen the OCI driver populate PROGRAM. So, I am also interested.

Re: JSP ClassNotFoundException on Tomcat 6.0.29/30 Eclipse Helios WTP
I'm developing an web application on Eclipse Helios, WTP, Tomcat 6.0.29(and
just upgraded to 6.0.30).
I suffer from ClassNotFoundException a lot of times on both 6.0.29/30.
It's not about usual classes or jar. It's about JSP generated java class.
For example, when I request /jsps/test.jsp, the stack trace looks like the
following.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.jsp.jsps.test_blahblah.class
But org.apache.jsp.jspa.test_blahblah.class surely exists in the work
directory.
When this happens, I just shutdown the tomcat on eclipse and start it again.
That's all. Then the jsp works fine. But after a few minutes it happens again.
This happens to us under Tomcat 6.0.29 if we rebuild a jar file that is in the
${CATALINA_HOME}/lib directory. Could this be your issue?

Dave
What's the problem??
It does not happen on Jetty 7.

Re: Several hosts within one tomcat / catch-all problem
Hi Konstantin, BTW, you can put those names in an external file and use it in the server.xml as an XML entity. Like the example in http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Password Inspired by this thread and having a similar issue in maintaining virtual host aliases I edited my server.xml as follows: I added this before the Server. !DOCTYPE aliases-xml [ !ENTITY aliases SYSTEM /path/to/network/storage/aliases.txt ] I moved my Alias tags to /path/to/network/storage/aliases.txt, substituting aliases; This works very well. Thanks! and use JMX or call mapper.addHostAlias(..) directly to add aliases programmatically at runtime. (though there is no guarantee that the Mapper API does not change between Tomcat minor releases). I investigated what an implementation of this might look like at a higher level. In looking through the Tomcat interfaces it looks like this is similar to the notion of automatically creating Context for users with a UserConfig listener. It would be an AliasConfig class extending HostConfig. Listener className=my.web.server.listener.package.AliasConfig aliases=/path/to/alias/file/ Then in the start event function it is as simple as host.addAlias(subDomainName); for each alias found in the aliases file. Does this make sense? Regards, Dave - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

I'm not sure what you meant by PIC OS, unless you meant the Pick Database model, which was originally implemented as a combined OS/DB setup. Prime did offer a version of the DB model, called INFORMATION, which ran on the standard OS. It was a really nice rapid deployment engine. That's it. I couldn't recall because I didn't use it. We used the MIDAS database which transitioned pretty well from home grown assembler based / hash indexed keys. They also had a version of Oracle available for it, though I never used it. I had used some other 3rd-party relational DB products, and INFORMATION ran rings around them. The Pick data model was designed with standard business data in mind, so it had some useful features that ran fairly fast. I work in Oracle now, and am quite impressed with its speed, but having to do all those table joins can sometimes be a real pain.

This is very likely to create a memory leak. Note the word 'likely' is not 'defiantly', it is possible that your implementation is 'not' creating a memory leak. but a SEVERE log message should be pretty sure and not likely. I agree a WARNING or INFO is more correct on shutdown. This would only be SEVERE if you were restarting your container with a manager or dropping in a new WAR and the JVM will continue running. Maybe the Memory Leak detection ought to have some parameter about whether the Sys Admin actually cares? Or, better couldn't it know if the whole JVM is going down and adjust the level and message accordingly? My 2 cents. Regards, Dave If tomcat launches an independent thread (not a tomcat thread) that refers to objects within the tomcat instance (and its pool of threads), this is when a memory leak would occur. This is because objects referenced by the independent thread 'and' the tomcat instance would not be GC'ed when tomcat shuts down, because they are still referenced by a living thread. I really don't get it. I'm stopping tomcat. What do I care about objects living in a webapp which is DEAD in a second in a VM which will be dead in another second? 'Generally' you will want to stop the independent threads when tomcat shuts down, thus removing the 'likelihood' of memory leaks. No actually I don't care. If they have jobs to do, they are free to define their shutdown hooks. Otherwise all daemon threads are automatically killed if the vm is killed. If the independent threads have their own shut down hooks that realise tomcat is shutting down and dereference any appropriate objects, a memory leak will 'not' occur. If you want your independent threads to shut down with tomcat because they do not have the own mechanisms, implement a ServletContextListener.contextDestroyed that does so. Yeah, but I actually don't. I mean I'm hitting ctrl-c in a terminal with running bin/catalina.sh run.

Re: [OT] RE: Tomcat Consultant
PL/1 was a nice break from extending FORTRAN IV with BAL (Assembler). Wow real pointers and character strings! I seem to recall there was a version on the Prime minicomputers - IRC they had a version of the PIC OS. Primos came out of the Boston area, was a son of Multics and a brother OS to Unix. Wiki proves my memory fairly accurate - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Computer That's the system I worked on. At one point, I worked in a university environ and had access to source. We did a few tweaks to allow better support for hundreds of students, or the occasional custom tool/command. It was really nice to work in something like PL/P for that stuff. I'm not sure what you meant by PIC OS, unless you meant the Pick Database model, which was originally implemented as a combined OS/DB setup. Prime did offer a version of the DB model, called INFORMATION, which ran on the standard OS. It was a really nice rapid deployment engine. That's it. I couldn't recall because I didn't use it. We used the MIDAS database which transitioned pretty well from home grown assembler based / hash indexed keys. They also had a version of Oracle available for it, though I never used it. I had used some other 3rd-party relational DB products, and INFORMATION ran rings around them. The Pick data model was designed with standard business data in mind, so it had some useful features that ran fairly fast. I work in Oracle now, and am quite impressed with its speed, but having to do all those table joins can sometimes be a real pain. We went with Oracle 5/6 when my boss spun out as an independent and we migrated to Sun in 1991. Oracle had an interesting Hypercard Stack interface for Macs around then. Only trouble for me is it wouldn't save your sql ddl, it was the schema. On Sep 28, 2010, at 12:52 PM, Jeffrey Janner wrote: PL/1, boy that brings back memories.

Re: [OT] Tomcat unexpectedly shuts down
Hi Andre, So I am not objecting to using 3000 MB of Heap, I am just curious. If someone like Eric Robinson can run a non-trivial multi-user Tomcat application with an average 64 MB of Heap and you can do pretty much the same, then I am curious as to which Tomcat application (or situation) may require 3,000 MB of Heap, which is 50 times more. I will give you an example of two reasons for a large heap - (1) You host a large data set that you treat as a global in memory database achieving lighting quick sorts and filters across any column. This consumes a large amount of memory for the life of the JVM. Daily refreshes require double space in transition. The size of the heap will limit the size of the data set. (2) You need to produce large Excel spreadsheets or Powerpoint decks using Apache POI. Due to the binary nature of the file formats everything is constructed in memory and the memory footprint of the Java objects is much larger. The XML versions don't give you any relief as they are Zip files. This means you need large amounts of space for short periods of time. Again more memory means the more head room you have for these requests. You have to know your app well to know if you have enough room for the very occasional large request. If that can be too big then you will need to build an execution queue of some type behind your web app. Regards, Dave - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Re: Script to restart Tomcat
I've found that you cannot always rely on the shutdown script closing tomcat quickly. If you have a thread that is not properly managed maybe not at all. In my restart scripts I find the PID of the tomcat process, run the shutdown script, sleep 10 seconds, test if the PID is still active and if so I kill it. It is then safe to run the startup script.

Re: Tomcat/webapp bundled deployment
That is pretty much what i do, but I recommend that you adopt an overlay approach. It will make it easy for you to take new versions of Tomcat when they are available. Here is how I currently deploy to Solaris. (1) I use a blessed tomcat distribution from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi (2) I build a tarball that contains files to be installed relative to the tomcat directory - bin/setenv.sh - to configure the environment. - conf/server.xml - to configure tomcat hosts - conf/tomcat-users.xml - to enable a user for jmx and the manager - conf/context.xml - to configure the context. - Catalina/domainname/manager.xml - to manage my domain. - lib/*.jar - common jar files - poi, lucene, log4j, etc. - webapps-wars/ROOT.war - my webapp - I separate the base in server.xml (3) I have an installation script that always assumes that there is either a previous install or a fresh installation of Tomcat. - stops tomcat. - makes sure that examples and other default tomcat applications are removed. - changes the directory to the tomcat base. - untars the tarball over tomcat. - modifies the jvmroute in the conf/server.xml so my apache front ends can load balance with mod_jk.

Re: PDF to acrobat
You will want to do this: response.setContentType(application/pdf); response.setHeader(Content-disposition, inline); For an attachment / download you will want to do: response.setContentType(application/pdf); response.setHeader(Content-disposition, attachment;filename=downloaded.pdf); Of course browser settings and how your Adobe Reader, Preview or Browser plugins are configured may override the inline? What browsers and OS's matter to you? Older IE versions are pretty sticky. Firefox can be set to download no matter what.

Re: Setting Up AJP Workers as a Failover
Hi Rainer, Thank you for your reply - it really has helped out today in several ways. I've got myself in a situation where I need a stopgap quick fix - until we can respond correctly. It turns out I was overreacting and we have other better tools to fix the troubles - no need to discuss as they are application specific. I have the following workers file: # define the worker list worker.list=LoadBalancer # Define the LB worker worker.LoadBalancer.type=lb worker.LoadBalancer.balance_workers=webprod1,webprod2 worker.LoadBalancer.sticky_session=1 # configure each worker worker.webprod1.type=ajp13 worker.webprod1.host=webprod1 worker.webprod1.port=8009 worker.webprod1.lbfactor=100 worker.webprod2.type=ajp13 worker.webprod2.host=webprod2 worker.webprod2.port=8009 worker.webprod2.lbfactor=100 If I change the last line to worker.webprod2.lbfactor=0 will webprod2 only be used if webprod1 is disconnected or otherwise in an error state? No, value 0 ist not supported and will automatically be changed to 1. What about using activation=disabled? This worked really well today when one of our new Sun 2270s ran into an OS bug and slowly locked up. I just made the bad machine deactivated while we got support and applied the workaround. What are you trying to achieve? I was thinking of de-load-balancing glad to re-think and abandon a silly notion. You should also look at the example configuration bundled with the 1.2.30 sources. It contains nice suggestions about timeouts that your configuration is lacking. This was extremely helpful - we now plan is to build 1.2.30 from source and begin using it very soon - we will likely use this well-annotated example for the basis of our configuration. I knew I could count on the Tomcat Community. BR, Dave My other choice is to turn off one of the server's Tomcat instance. The real solution might take a day or two and that is to put back JSESSIONID - meanwhile I'm looking at how to fix occasional strangeness for users.

Re: POI/XML issues in server environment
Hi All, Over here from POI where I helped Jorge track things down in Tomcat. I suggested he come over here for help, but he seems to have started at the beginning and is getting the exact same initial questions that were asked on POI User. Here's what was determined. One of the webapps on his production server uses an older XercesImpl Jar in his endorsed directory. This causes a conflict with POI that is not handled very well. I've opened a bugzilla in POI so that we'll eventually have a more informative error message. We'll need to check to see versions of XML Parser implementations active in the JVM to find out what POI OOXML's minimum requirement really is. Any suggestions about how to do that would be very helpful. The thread should be easy enough to find on the POI User list. In it Jorge provided a screenshot of his production server's common/lib and it was packed with jars. No surprise there is a conflict. Regards, Dave On Jun 16, 2010, at 5:05 PM, Terence M.

Re: Context Chicken Egg Problem
Hi Chris, Current architecture is to share a jar in shared/lib between the main webapps, an admin webapps and a localhost only management webapps. This was originally in Tomcat 3. New architecture will separate each, drop the management webapps and we'll control contexts via multicasting, jmx, and/or servlets. Any reason to share the JAR instead of weploying it several times? Memory and disk space are pretty cheap. We are running on 8 year old Sun Netra boxes and our loaded set takes up half of the available memory which is less than 1GB. Redeployment on Tomcat 6.0 will include new boxes. The economy is tough, we've been waiting for new hardware ... should be soon. Then we can make each Tomcat pretty generic and each context self contained with its own instance of our JAR. One question is whether we will need to share our oracle JAR. We don't currently use JNDI, we manage the connection pool directly. If we want to limit the poolsize based on the machine then we need to share. Otherwise we can allocate smaller pools to each webapps that needs access. I suppose our results will vary depending on whose JDBC we are using. Currently we use Oracle 8, but with our refresh will go to Oracle 10. What do you think? Thanks.

Re: Context Chicken Egg Problem
Hi Chris,
public class UniverseLoader extends HttpServlet {
protected long timeLoaded;
public void init() throws ServletException {
new Thread(new LoadUniverseTask()).start();
}
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) throws ServletException, IOException {
response.getWriter().println(Universe loaded: + new
Date(timeLoaded));
}
So, until your initialization routine finishes, your code reports that
the universe was loaded on Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1970?
Good point. We only use the servlet for debugging. So, we haven't
fixed this obvious bug.
Also, where do you store information about the universe being
(properly)
loaded so that your servlets don't try to use missing/unavailable
objects?
Hidden in the details that I cut out is a call to another class, we
check to see if that class has completed its task via an isLoaded
boolean.
Finally, you might consider using a ServletContextListener instead
of a
Servlet, as this is the recommended practice for context setup. You
can
still provide a servlet to report on the status of the load if you'd
like.
Thanks for the tip, I'll add it to our internal JIRA for additional re-
factoring as we re-architect to go to Tomcat 6 from Tomcat 5.5. We
share this universe between webapps on the container for historical
reasons. We hope for horizontal scale and Tomcat 6 anywhere. We'll
need each of our apps to be an independent WAR to scale each
individually.
Current architecture is to share a jar in shared/lib between the main
webapps, an admin webapps and a localhost only management webapps.
This was originally in Tomcat 3. New architecture will separate each,
drop the management webapps and we'll control contexts via
multicasting, jmx, and/or servlets.

Dave

}
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) throws ServletException, IOException {
response.getWriter().println(Universe loaded: + new
Date(timeLoaded));
}
public void loadUniverse() throws Exception {
long timeStart = System.currentTimeMillis();
// Your initialization code
long elapsed = (System.currentTimeMillis() - timeStart) / 1000;
log(Universe loaded: + elapsed + seconds);
timeLoaded = System.currentTimeMillis();
}
private class LoadUniverseTask implements Runnable {
public void run(){
try {
loadUniverse();
} catch(Exception e){
StringWriter msg = new StringWriter();
PrintWriter pout = new PrintWriter(msg);
e.printStackTrace(pout);
}

just a curiosity as to what is happening under the Tomcat
covers during this scenario.
Tomcat initialization is single-thread, so if webapp A happens to get
initialized before B, and the initialization thread running inside A
makes an HTTP request that targets a yet-to-be initialized webapp in
the
same Tomcat instance, you have a deadlock. Someday maybe, we'll see
multi-threaded initialization.

Re: Control character in cookie value

And we are quite flabbergasted that you did not peruse the thread

I did read the thread carefully, and nowhere was it explained why this
error message was being emitted:
SEVERE: Exception in the filter chain

Itay showed it here:

Note the 10 between the 49 and 78 towards the end.
It was wrapped as André mentioned, and then when Itay did this:
But look like problem is fixed. I extended the encodeToken method
and change
it to be
return Base64.encodeBytes(sb.toString().getBytes(),
Base64.DONT_BREAK_LINES);
And now it works (like a charm)! but i'm not sure it solve all the
scenarios/possibilities.
This confirmed it for me.
I never saw any JSP code with the text #{identity.login} in it
anywhere.
But all is well now, since Itay added the magical no-wrap parameter
in
his call.
Well, you may have solved /a/ problem, but you either didn't solve the
originally-reported one, or there were really two problems originally
reported. It's not clear to me if they are a single issue or two.
Maybe #{identity.login} is a seam artifact?
Anyway an interesting dialog as always on tomcat_user. Thanks.

Re: Persistent Storage for Webapps
So you have multiple contexts on a host, each of which needs separate, persistent storage? If you don't want to keep track of a property files, you could write a bean with a method that takes a HttpRequest as a argument, and returns a file path based on the info in the request. You would have to dedicate a directory on your server as the root for the persistence system. Then build subdirectories based on info available in the request object. I could go on if you want, but basically I'm trying to say there is more than enough info in each HttpRequest to allow you build a flexible, scalable persistence system without having to resort to .properties files which you'll then have to squirrel away somewhere and remember to update each time you change your Context name, etc. Just look at the javadocs for HttpRequest. See especially getContextPath() and getLocalName(). Yes, these are good points about managing persistent data. The OP's original issue with updating his WAR and deleting the data directory - followed by trying to use temporary points out a misconception about persistence that system administrators live to solve. Persistent data has no business being in the webapps. Webapps need to find the correct data. The system admin needs to backup the data and perhaps restore it. If Tomcat server A dies then does the service need to reappear on Tomcat server B where is the data? This suggests that you should have your data on a network mount point. What if your webapps is insanely sucessful and you need to put your server in the cloud? Where are you going to find your user's data? Did you hear what happened to T-Mobile and the Sidekick - they just lost most every client's contacts stored in their cloud If you are stubborn and I've been myself with virtual host config on the Tomcat 3.3 model, you will later spend dear effort programming yourself out of the box. In my case we are nearly ready to go to Tomcat 6 and a single Webapps completely in a single WAR able to run multiple hosts (not SSL). Network storage and file-locking are required, you can never assume you are the only one touching a file. But now we are off topic, managing persistent data can take numerous forms - see Apache Lucene, Hadoop, CouchDB, ... and then there are the SQL...

During operations, data files are created under /WEB-INF/data/ WEB-INF should contain only static files which shouldn't be accessible by Webclients (directly), e.g. by /app/data/filename . So it seems to be a bad place Question: id /WEB-INF/ in the extracted directory the correct place for persistent data storage? If not, where is? AFAIK there is no general advise where to put dynamic, persistent data. As system administrator I prefer solutions that give me the opportunity to decide myself where to put dynamic data. There are a lot of reasons for this: securing against disk space overflow, backup, priviledge separation, etc. Following this way you might create a properties-file outside the Tomcat-hierarchy at a sensible place (e.g. /etc/app.properties) with the paths your application should use. Another way is to define a Tomcat-parameter during JVM-startup that will contain the path to your data-directory. As this might not survive the next update of Tomcat itself I don't like this kind of configuration but some applications and classes are working this way. My goal is to find a consistent way of creating persistent data relative to the context. I dont want to have to configure context parameters with data directory paths for each installation. untested idea: If you have no control over the filesystem of the target Tomcat you could create a mini-application named data.war that you are deploying. Of course there is always the danger of accidentally erasing the data by re-deploying this pseudo-application. And you will have to find a way by valves, etc. to preserve this path from being accessed by web-clients. Maybe it is enough if you leave out the context-entry. Thanks for your answers Tobias. Unfortunately we have a very real use case for multiple instances on one host, with different data paths. So, /etc/app.properties is not usable, but /etc/app-context path derived data.properties might be but virtual hosting would break. No way to identify unique host consistently. Also, I could use a path name derived from the temp directory name, but nothing says the temp directory name will be consistent.

Re: Tomcat is idle when Oracle crashed
I've been investigating Oracle configuration myself - this page was helpful to me for Oracle 10g - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/readme_10201.html It contains a reference to the following bug - BUG-3209390 JDBC OCI Driver's TAF functionality will not work, when used in conjunction with JDBC Fast Connection Failover. The problem is that when TAF is enabled, JDBC Fast Connection Failover will likely remove connections, that were actually detected and failed over by TAF. There is no work-around. Users cannot use TAF and Fast Connection Failover together. This is also stated for 11g: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/111070_readme.html So I guess you'll need to figure out how - if possible - to reestablish your connections after the Oracle failover. Or, maybe you should use the thin client instead of the OCI? I don't know the details you should be talking to an Oracle expert on metalink.

Re: JK 1.2.28 - load balancer worker fails on startup with one worker down ?
An interesting discussion. Since I am about to configure such a load balancer and we prefer to use DNS, understanding this type of detail is critical. The OP said that the reason that the DNS did not resolve was that the machine had been moved off the network. That may have been an event out of the control of the sysadmin for the web service. Suppose someone takes a server away and then a week later apache and mod_jk are restarted via a cron job in the middle of the night? Suddenly the web service is down. I think that one could argue that if a configuration has been successful then this error should be a warning and if the configuration file has been altered since the past time it is a fatal error. That may be too much extra logic and it is non-deterministic as a configuration file change is hard to detect accurately. Perhaps more helpful would be to have a sysadmin email address in the config and then when things go fatal send an email with the appropriate log information. It is all about catching appropriately thrown error classes. What logging facility does mod_jk use? It could be that plugging in a special logger in this situation makes sense.

We could include such a check in the startup code, although I'm not really convinced, that your problem is a good reason for this. I'm open to more argumntation and suggestions :) Argumentation #1 against a change in logic: The OP argues that one single unresolvable balanced worker should not stop the other 4 from working, hence that the balancer should start anyway, since 80% of the capacity is still available. It sounds reasonable in principle. But what if there are only 2 balanced workers in total, of which one is unresolvable at start ? would it be normal to start with only one balanced worker available anyway ? If not, then where's the limit of acceptable ? Argumentation #2 against a change in logic: Suppose the balancer would start, with the resolved workers only. Suppose the resolving problem comes from a typo, not the fact that the given host is temporarily out of the DNS system, but a definite non-existing host. It will not be retried, so there will never be another error/warning message. The host itself may be ok and respond to pings etc.., it will just never be hit by Apache's mod_jk, so this would be a very quiet error. How is the sysadmin going to figure out that there is, basically, a problem ? Argumentation for a change in logging: It would be clearer if the error message stated explicitly that the balancer worker was not started due to a /configuration/ error, see above message(s). But then, if even I could figure it out from the existing error message, then just about everyone should be able to.

Re: JK 1.2.28 - load balancer worker fails on startup with one worker down ?
Rainer - Wouldn't this type of dynamics occur if your workers were in a cloud? Or if you needed a lot more very quickly for peak processing? Am I correct to think that if someone is being so dynamic with their worker's DNS configuration then they should automate using the status worker to handle configuration after initial startup of mod_jk? http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/status.html Unfortunately, I don't see a way to add or remove a worker? I think that this type of dynamic configuration would be very helpful in managing a cloud of tomcat workers. I would be pretty cool to be able to put Tomcat Workers into service merely by starting up a VM that uses DHCP to get its IP by name. The VM could then know to register itself with a mod_jk status worker. Wouldn't this make a Tomcat Cloud super easy to manage? It could even be geographically diverse and migratory.

Re: Virtual Hosts
Can anybody offer any guidance or advice on how I can set up some virtual hosts for my application that has multiple skins. I want to be able to go to http://flavour1 instead of having to type in http://longhostname/service/program.jsp?skins=flavour1, and similar for flavour2, flavour3, etc.. All the documentation seems to point to virtual directories, and when I have tried to use the syntax detailed here http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html http://gandhim.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/tomcat-55-virtual-directory/ http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Servers/Apache/ Q_21242062.html Tomcat tries to open a directory called /service/program.jsp? skins=flavour1/ How do I phrase the context syntax correctly? MTIA Rob Write a Servlet Filter that parses HttpServletRequest.getServerName() and performs the same action that whatever handles the skins=flavour1 parameter does. In server.xml set the Engine attribute defaultHost to the single host that will handle your application. (This assumes that you know what you're doing re: DNS) I use this technique and it works in Tomcat 5.5. I have multiple domains hosted, and I name each as Aliases in the Host in server.xml. This works unless the OP also needs to make https connections. In that case, all of the virtual hosts will need to be in the same main domain and a wildcard certificate will be required. *.domain.com vs. www.domain1.com www.domain2.com If you must use https (which I do) and to have multiple domains then I have to choose which domain has the correct certificate and the others will not match. That wasn't too awful until Firefox 3. It is a pain. There is no known (at least to me) solution to this except for putting Apache in front of Tomcat and handle the certificates and virtual host there. Then use Filter technique to choose the appropriate skin.

Re: Virtual Hosts
Hi Charles, I have multiple domains hosted, and I name each as Aliases in the Host in server.xml. If you only have one Host element, aliases are unnecessary. You only need Alias elements when multiple Hosts are configured and you want Tomcat to route more than one domain to them. Exactly. We started with Tomcat 3. We have multiple Hosts - localhost with internal webapps for monitoring our main webapps and performing internal services. We keep a large cache and have a number of jars in shared/lib. We are currently re-architecting so that we can go to Tomcat 6 where the games that we have been playing are out of bounds. We'll have one stack and control access with a Filter and/or Valve. This way we have everything in one webapps and it will be a single Context that we can put everything into a war - deploy to the Cloud. I would hope that configuring such unneeded Alias elements doesn't add processing time doing any comparisons, but I haven't looked at the code to verify that. We can make apache do this work for us in front. I've been lurking on this list for some time. In a few weeks we will build our first version of this and I am confident that should we encounter trouble I can get advice from the good people like you here on the Tomcat users list.

Re: [a little OT] Can I get Millisecond precision in Access Logs?
Mark,
Interesting but shouldn't the getDate method be slightly different:
if ((systime - currentDate.getTime()) 1000) {
In this line if currentDate is at millisecond 900 then the next second
starts with the millisec and that is 100 ms later.
long cachedtime = currentDate.getTime();
if ((systime - cachedtime 999 - cachedtime%1000) {
Yes, I know it is a quibble about what is probably fuzzy logic. But
I'm just a guy who learned to typeset using integers in ebcdic at 300
dpi in Fortran and IBM Sys 370 Assembler and this is a classic next
pixel problem with proportional width characters at a small font size.
(A comment for all those US-ASCII-7 haters - look up the EBCDIC code

Re: Log4j Logging
(This must be national logging questions month :-) More like International logging month - everyone upgrading to tomcat 5.5 or better is forced to confront this issue, many are under a lot of pressure, and they don't all read English. The differences are subtle and lost in translation. (1) I submit that this paragraph on http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html makes people react poorly as it offers nothing except a gotcha and you got more to learn. An important consequence for Tomcat 5.5 is that the Logger element found in previous versions to create a localhost_log is no longer a valid nested element of Context. Instead, the default Tomcat configuration will use java.util.logging. If the developer wishes to collect detailed internal Tomcat logging (i.e what is happening within the Tomcat engine), then they should configure a logging system such as java.util.logging or log4j as detailed next. (2) There ought to be a link to some page describing how to convert a Logger into something useful in Tomcat 5.5. There is the page http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Logging but there is no link on the logging page to the FAQ.

Re: logging with multiple web applications
Hi Chuck, These threads have clarified things for me as well. Thanks. From: Jamie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: logging with multiple web applications Ok. I currently have the log4j-1.2.14.jar file in the WEB-INF/lib directory. I will remove it. No, that's where it's supposed to be; one copy for each webapp. I was referring to Tomcat's lib directory, not each webapp's. I do have shared JARs and class files across web apps. That is most likely the source of your problem. This is a strongly desired feature as the intention is to minimize the memory footprint of each web app. Unless you have many thousands of shared classes, your concern is probably unfounded. By introducing such run-time dependencies, you pretty much guarantee that you have to take the whole server down to update a single webapp, and created versioning hell when you need to update a shared library for one particular webapp but not the others. Memory is cheap; don't be afraid of configuring a larger PermGen when needed. Yes, this where I am. Memory is not cheap when you are running old hardware w/o option to replace and have your own webapps large area. But you are correct about tomcat's reasonable approach to the problem. I'll need to do containers as singletons. If a webapps is too PermGen intensive with 4000 clases, etc. maybe it needs its own isolation. Is there a way to use shared libs/classes and have the logging output separate? Yes, but it's ugly: each caller of a method in a shared class must pass in a reference to the webapp's logger, rather than letting the shared class have its own. You really don't want to do that, since it complicates and obfuscates the interface. Just stop sharing your classes. Once I put apache in front I can. I'm not replying in the related classloader thread, but that is helpful as well in thinking about going from 5.5.25 to 6. As always - illuminating.

Re: Tomcat producing (near) duplicate Catalina logs
Hi Andre, I tried, but I'm not finding it. Am I the only one in that situation ? No, I've tried to read both the log4j docs and the tomcat logging docs. Nowhere is there a good working example that describes some real world situations. My trouble is different from yours, but I believe we are both looking for the same thing, an effective guide to tomcat logging. The tomcat documentation for JULI talks about using both at the same time etcetera and somewhere in the muddle switches between. Sorry, I don't think this is a hijack, it is my frustration. Here is my situation which is complex and I KNOW is too complicated to ask for advise on the totality - I've been on the list to absorb relevant info, and maybe I'm ready. When we went to 5.5.25 we lost all the really nice SIMPLE logging w/o bulletproof instructions on how to replace it. It would be nice to have a cookbook that directly translates the one config to the other showing how to do it with JULI, with log4j and with both happily co- existing. This last, for me has been the key part. My trouble involves my rather weird configuration that grew from tomcat 3.3 to 4.1 to 5.5. I recently added Roller 4.0 and had to do a weirder config due its 16MB per context permgen space requirements for 4000 classes moving many of its jars to tomcat/shared/lib ended my OOM. All my contexts logs are hijacked by Roller, and that is a roller question that I can't ask due to my weird configuration. But if I understood better how logging and tomcat interact I could understand. Watching this list I am confident that I could reconfigure with apache in front of tomcats w/my webapp and other tomcats w/Roller. This would be ideal, and different logging mechanisms could be used in each tomcat. And my problem would stop, ... And it is what will be done. I prefer it for many reasons which many on this list have graciously provided. I would still like to have someone help me guide through the logging configuration in some simple scenarios. If this is done then I promise the people on this wonderful group that I'll try to distill it into a reasonable FAQ. I'm on Solaris 8, w/Java 5. My host context on Tomcat 4.1.31 looks like: Host name=my.url.com appBase=webapps-url Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve directory=logs prefix=my_url_access. suffix=.log pattern=common/ Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger directory=logs prefix=my_url_logger. suffix=.log timestamp=true/ /Host In Tomcat 5.5.26: Host name=my.url.com appBase=webapps-unity Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.FastCommonAccessLogValve directory=logs prefix=my_url_access. suffix=.log pattern=common/ /Host How do I translate my 4.1.31 Logger to log4j in Tomcat 5.5.25? How do I do the same for JULI logging? How do I combine the two? How does the classloader come into play? I know it has some affect because there is mention in the docs of tomcat/common/ vs. tomcat/ shared/? Do the answers differ for Tomcat 6? Now do you see why we simple users who must spend time programming their apps, are confused? Especially when you go from having a VERY SIMPLE interface to options you don't care about but are forced to make. Like which health care plan? This is critical to me, I ought to go to Tomcat 6 and Java 6 as I go to Apache / Tomcat (for load balancing, SSL front end and splitting parts of webapps between differently configured tomcats, I certainly don't want to waste time with logging configuration, Regards, Dave - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Requests being processed at a certain moment
Alvaro,
You certainly can easily use a Filter with your JSPs.
Take a look at the jsp-examples webapps included with tomcat. If you
look at WEB-INF/web.xml and the structure of WEB-INF/classes/ you
should see how to use the example that Jim provided.
For example RequestDumper:
In web.xml
filter-mapping
filter-nameRequest Dumper Filter/filter-name
url-pattern/*/url-pattern
/filter-mapping
In classes/filters/RequestDumper.java:
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse
response,
FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
if (filterConfig == null)
return;
// Render the generic servlet request properties
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(sw);
writer.println(Request Received at +
(new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis(;
// Log the resulting string
writer.flush();
filterConfig.getServletContext().log(sw.getBuffer().toString());
// Pass control on to the next filter
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
I'm sure you can combine these examples.
Good luck. Don't be afraid of Servlets they are your friend. You'll
certainly want to know them if you need to do any binary content.
Regards,
Dave

Re: COMPATABILITY APACHE /TOMCAT/CONNECTOR
Hi - I'm a bit of a hacker with server.xml, but your problem is with duplicate ports so look at ALL port usage in both server.xml files. Maybe you should try changing the redirect port for TC2 to 8444. There should not be a redirect port for AJP/1.3 Do you define an HTTPS connector? If not, then I think you should leave out the redirectPort for HTTP/1.1 (I may be wrong here and you need it to avoid defaults.) Do you define the shutdown port? That must also be unique.

Re: Load Balnce and failover for Tomcat
I think what the experts are saying is that even if your webapps is started it could be dependent on a large startup operation. Take for example Apache Roller which can take several minutes to rebuild its persistence state and while up will reject requests. The only way to know if the webapps is up is to test it with a request to your webapps. So, the answer will differ for each webapps and the resource to ask will differ as well. Best of luck.

Re: access files from jsp

String ext = request.getParameter(ext);
String content_type;
if (.ppt.equals(ext)) {content_type = application/vnd.ms-

else if (.xls.equals(ext)) {content_type = application/

else {content_type = application/pdf;}
// we don't like to inline Office documents.
boolean is_inline = application/pdf.equals(content_type);

if ( f.exists() f.length() 0) {
response.setContentType( content_type);
// The following works way better in Windows IE than ext=
response.setHeader(Content-disposition,

byte[] chunk = new byte[16184];

while ((count = fis.read(chunk)) =0 ) {
response.getOutputStream().write(chunk,0,count);
}
fis.close();
} else {
log(File not found: + url);
}
}
}
FYI - this approach really became necessary about when 4.1.29 came out
- at that time Tomcat got pretty strict with non-Text being served via

So... the remote file is available to the local system on a
network drive. That's a fun one. There are a couple of different
ways to do this.
1. Using Windows fileshares
Let me preface this by saying *I've* never done this. The few times
I've had a tomcat server on a Windows machine, it only ever accessed
local files. There are people on the list with way more experience
than I have.
As I understand it, as long as tomcat is running under a user
account that has privileges to read the remote file, you could use a
UNC path with java standard file access classes and methods to read
the file. The mapped drive letter wouldn't work unless tomcat was
only running while you are logged in. In a jsp, this could be done
with a scriptlet:
!-- import your classes at the top of the jsp --
jsp:scriptlet
try {
FileInputStream remoteFileReader = new FileInputStream( \\\
\remoteServer\\archive\\files\\myFile.txt ) ;
// do something with the file
} catch ( Exception e ) {
// do something if the access fails
} finally {
try {
remoteFileReader.close() ;
} catch ( Exception e ) {}
}
/jsp:scriptlet
It should be mentioned the system account most services run under by
default does not have any privilege to access remote files via UNC
path, so you'll have to customize your tomcat installation a
little. ... Or always be logged into the system and have it running
as you which isn't the most ideal method.
2. Using a webserver on the remote system
This I have done and it's more platform independent. Your jsp can
request it from the remote server using standard taglibs:
(note standard.jar and jstl.jar must be in your webapp's WEB-INF/lib
directory)
!-- import the core taglib from jstl at the top of the file. Docs
for the jstl taglib can help with this --
c:import url=http://remoteSystem.dns.com/http/path/to/file.txt;
var=fileContents /
!-- Do something with the file contents, it'll be available in
the fileContents page context attribute --

Hi Henry,
most of these files are PDF, XLS and not only TXT
format.
You are meaning that with a JSP definitvly one can
reads only TXT files?
When I had the trouble I was referred to the JSP spec and it is meant
for serving marked up Text formats. Encoding translations can happen
with JSP. With JSP it is easy to insert whitespace which will damage a
PDF or XLS file.
So, you want a servlet. Servlets send only want you want to send.
You can mount your remote system as a disk on your web server system
and then use pathnames as the url in my sample. We've done this
since Tomcat 3.0.3.
Pretty simple.
It is up to you if you need to obfuscate your file pathnames.

this. The few times
I've had a tomcat server on a Windows machine, it
only ever accessed
local files. There are people on the list with way
more experience
than I have.
As I understand it, as long as tomcat is running
under a user
account that has privileges to read the remote
file, you could use a
UNC path with java standard file access classes
and methods to read
the file. The mapped drive letter wouldn't work
unless tomcat was
only running while you are logged in. In a jsp,
this could be done
with a scriptlet:
!-- import your classes at the top of the jsp
--
jsp:scriptlet
try {
FileInputStream remoteFileReader = new
FileInputStream( \\\
\remoteServer\\archive\\files\\myFile.txt ) ;
// do something with the file
} catch ( Exception e ) {
// do something if the access fails
} finally {
try {
remoteFileReader.close() ;
} catch ( Exception e ) {}
}
/jsp:scriptlet
It should be mentioned the system account most
services run under by
default does not have any privilege to access
remote files via UNC
path, so you'll have to customize your tomcat
installation a
little. ... Or always be logged into the system
and have it running
as you which isn't the most ideal method.
2. Using a webserver on the remote system
This I have done and it's more platform
independent. Your jsp can
request it from the remote server using standard
taglibs:
(note standard.jar and jstl.jar must be in your
webapp's WEB-INF/lib
directory)
!-- import the core taglib from jstl at the top
of the file. Docs
for the jstl taglib can help with this --
c:import
url=http://remoteSystem.dns.com/http/path/to/file.txt;
var=fileContents /
!-- Do something with the file contents,
it'll be available in
the fileContents page context attribute --

Well, it looks like you can use the reading the file part of my
approach or David Smith's approach.
If you need to retrieve content from within a Microsoft Office file -
including properties, etc then you might take a look the Apache POI
project - http://poi.apache.org/
If you need to do a transformation on a PDF - Apache XMLGraphics may
be worth a look - http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/

I will save them to a Content Server by the JSPs.
I will use some beans and taglib for the logic

I use postgres and with ps alx | grep postgres each connection shows as idle (when its not being used!) and consumes about 140k bytes of memory. On a modern server that can hardly be considered as any use at all! The database server will typically have a maximum number of connections. For example our Oracle server has been set at 220 for sometime. We do well with a connection pool of 8 per tomcat server. And with a database server the web side is not the only customer. maxidle=2 is certainly too small, and maxidle=20 too large. Enrico I would negotiate with your boss and dba about what that value should be. They need to understand the trade-off. The dba may be able to increase the number of connections on that end.

When you code get's a connection, it comes from the pool of idle connections and returned when you close the connection.

Re: simple JSP redirect to another page -- how to deal with relative URLs
Seconded. DIGLLOYD said the following: From what I can find by googling, redirects have a slew of issues of their own. But I'm a newbie at this, so I might be misunderstanding. The only trouble I've had with redirects is when you redirect to a page which redirects to a page which redirects to a page. Browsers consider more than a few redirects in a row to be a bad thing and they stop. My experience taught me (about 7 years ago) that more then 2 was pushing things. DIGLLOYD are only replacing a single generation of files, as you do this relinking how many links do you want to forward or redirect? Regards, Dave On Apr 25, 2008, at 3:27 PM, David Smith wrote: Never mind .. I saw your other responses and the best solution is the redirect option. After following the redirect, the browser will have the correct URL for calculating the full url of each of the page's resources. --David David Smith wrote: I see the problem.

In a nutshell, this was recommended: http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ Looks very good for some purposes. But I also want to solve a much simpler problem-- I have a very large amount of static content (articles), with each article in its own directory. A main Table of Contents links to the start page in each directory, which is *not* index.html (eg some-main-page.html). I don't want to rename or change those pages as they have world-wide direct links to them--they have to stay as-is. But I do want to insert an index.jsp page without altering any content. For many of these folders inserting a trival index.jsp solves the index-page problem: %@ include file=the-main-page.html % (though I do wonder if google consider this unacceptable duplicate content) My pages all use relative links eg .., ./, etc. So this works ***when the page being included is in the same directory**. But when the include page is in another directory, none of the relative links work. None of these variants do the right thing; any referenced images cannot be found. %@ include file=../ReviewInfo.html % jsp:include file=../ReviewInfo.html % jsp:forward page=../some-other-page.html / The jsp:forward directive seems perfect, but the flaw of not changing the current location (eg no cd is done first) makes it useless for this purpose. Or does it? Is there something I'm missing here? Alternately, is there some other trivial solution? URL-rewriting is not appropriate in this case; there is no particular pattern, just a fair number of specific cases. I was hoping for a simple 1-line index.jsp in each directory.

Re: How to get Tomcat to pick up Oracle database connections after database shutdown?
I think you are correct. We manage our Oracle connections ourselves using classes12 and a ConnectionPool. I have no need to restart tomcat after an Oracle bounce. I do restart my Tomcats much more often than Oracle - every day. It has been almost a year since we restarted Oracle. It could be that Hibernate is your issue. I know that Tomcat can manage connections perhaps there is something in that configuration that will help. Good luck.

Re: Tomcat is confused between sites
Both webapps use a resource or class that only allows a single use? Do you install any jars in any place other than your webapps' WEB-INF/ lib? Have you set up any logging? If log4j, where did you put it? Regards, Dave On Mar 18, 2008, at 12:12 PM, sol42020 wrote: Most people would think that, but the problem disappears when I modify the server.xml file for Tomcat. When I comment out the tema server, tematest works fine with no errors. Tomcat appears to be confused. The applications work independently, but tema is the only one that works when server.xml has both applications listed. Do you have any other ideas why this would happen?

Re: about java.lang.outofmemory error
I don't know about BIRT (other than it is a project to generate Excel reports), but I do know that in Apache POI when you read and write an Excel spreadsheet everything is done in memory, and a large amount of memory needs to be available if your spreadsheet is large. I add the following to my catalina.sh to increase memory: -Xms384m -Xmx724m I hope this helps, there are limits.
