Hi Patrick. Basically, what Jeffrey and I are trying to tell you : - we are not saying that your observations above are incorrect, in the context in which you are making them - but it seems to us that the way you are going about this, is not the right way to make your application portable to other systems or Windows versions, because it seems to rely on things that may be particular to one or the other Windows version or circumstance. In other words, it makes your application fragile. The point is : when you login interactively to a Windows computer as user-1, or when you run a Service which logs-in to that computer as the same user-1, the environment in each case is *different* in many ways. It may be that under one or more particular versions of Windows, when comparing certain particular aspects (like prior drive mappings), you cannot see a difference. But differences there are, and they may show up on another version of Windows that you have not tried yet, or maybe with the same version somewhere else which has other network policies or security policies than the ones you are testing under right now. If you totally control your environment, notice that something is working and are happy with that because you are never going to use this anywhere else, then that's fine, keep doing it and don't spend more time figuring out what may be or not portable somewhere else. But if you want to make something portable, then you have to take into account that, for example, the host on which your app may be running one day, will not allow you to login interactively ahead of time to make drive mappings for the service's user-id. For example, because the sysadmins have decided that anything that runs as a service needs a special service account (which, contrarily to all the others has a password that never runs out e.g.); but on the other hand, according to their organisation's rules, a service account can *not* be used to login interactively anywhere. And since this rule already applies to the 10,000 workstations and servers of that organisation, they are not going to change it just

Thanks for the lesson on Windows Networking (I thought I knew well) and thanks to Andre as well. You also said that if all I wanted to do was make a list of mapping appear in an html page (without actually using them in your application), you can just fake it as previously discussed. I think I missed that part. Thanks Pat Glad you understand now. I was about to provide a response similar to Andre's previous response. This all reminds me of a similar situation within my TomEE/Tomcat7 web app. On my development server (Windows 2008 server 64-bit), I am 'always' logged in and coding/etc, which means I always test the web app via NetBeans (which provide the infamous 'console' that is mentioned throughout this thread). I developed this piece of code that uses JODConverter to call OpenOffice.org at/via port 2002, and this allows my web app to convert files to PDF after enduser uploads certain documents (Word docs, excel, etc...). So, that all works on my development server. Why? because I am logged in everytime while testing and the app is 'never' running as a Windows 'service' on my development server. So, i deploy my web app to target/production server (Windows 2003 Server and/or Windows Server 2008). For many months now, I have wondered 'why' the code will not work on the 'production' server but it runs/works 'everytime' on my development server. Finally, recently (after many months of research and/or multiple attempts of trying to debug/resolve the problem), I either read somewhere or finally realized that the code will 'not' work because my web app is running as a service, and for whatever reason (of course a 'Windows' reason), the code will 'not' work while running as a service. So, I am left to coding another implementation to convert files after upload, use another library, and ditch the JODConverter/ OpenOffice.org approach. Forgot to mention... since OpenOffice.org can be installed in the Startup folder, i was assuming that it would run as a service on production server, and/but I forgot that Startup folder just automatically starts the app immediately when/after you login. OpenOffice.org is 'not' running as a service, and since my web app is running as a service (in a different 'environment'), my web app was unable to access OpenOffice.org, because clearly/definitely/evidently, it was not/never running as a 'service'.. which means it was never available to my web app. :( And, to get back more OT, that may be the fundamental difference with my succesful usage of the same : in my case, it is my service program which launches the background OpenOffice instance, which most probably means that it too is running in the same service context a the main service program. (Which brings us back to the same context as this thread). Update: If I'm login interactively (meaning machine boots and I login and get my desktop) and that interactive account matches the service login account then net use from within the service does return all mapped drives. I'm not sure if that is by design or is something I can hang my hat on but it is the case with Windows 7 SP1.

It is possible that if you are already logged in, and start the service, it does not need to log in separately as the service. Does this work whether you start the service before or after you log in interactively with the same account? I just tested this and the order does not matter. Works for both sequences. In any case, I am not sure you can rely on that because it does require an interactive login, and if your system reboots in the middle of the night (whether because of an unplanned event or installation of Microsoft updates, depending on your server is configured), you will not be there to log in interactively so the net share list is available, and you probably do not want to set automatic login for the account.

Thanks again Pat You are on a Windows 7 system, which supports one user logged in at a time. I would be interested in seeing how this behaves on a Windows Server 2008 R2 system, configured for multiple users to be logged on at the same time (the default for remote administration mode is one user at a time). I do believe this is an artifact of the Windows 7 architecture (one user at a time) because Windows Server 2008 R2 has different security zones (rings) in its kernel implementation for access by different components (services, drivers, and users) which affect the presentation to the user. Also, persistent mappings are user specific. So if usera has two persistent drive mappings and userb has three different persistent mappings, usera will see his two when he is logged on and userb will see his three when he is logged on. Do you have the same persistent mappings for dt-user and service-user? You have also stated that you see no mapped drives when you run the service, so it seems as though starting the service first (and never having anyone logged in or dt-user) is an exception. Therefore, by extension of what you said above, you only receive the mapped drives if 1) the service starts first and then the service account logs in interactively, or 2) the service starts after logging in with the service account. Did you try both of these? But once the service sees the mappings, it retains it until: the service restarts? Does it matter whether the service restarts with someone logged on (i.e., the service account) or no one logged in? I do not think that you have explored all of the conditions required for the service to maintain its mappings, and that may be fine for your application, but then again, it may not be. That is for you to decide. Jeffrey Harris After the the drives are mapped persisted by the service-user, I reboot the computer and have nobody login interactively and my app sees all drives that were mapped

Thanks Pat I would add that it is kind of doubtful that this has anything directly to do with Tomcat, or even Java. Maybe that question would belong more to some Windows forum. - I absolutely agree. I would expect to see the same behavior with Apache HTTPD, IIS, or any other service that accesses mapped drives. It is a question of how service accounts behave in the windows architecture, rather than something specific with Tomcat. Jeffrey Harris It will depend on what user your TC service is running under.If it's running as the LocalSystem user, it will not have access to any network drives, or many other network resources. It can hit some, such as databases. If you want your TC to be able to see networked drives, you need to run it under the logged-on user's ID. Keep in mind, though, that if the user logs off, the drives will be disconnected. Your best bet in that case it to not connect by drive letter, but rather by the UNC name (what you used to map it when you were logged on). That will work if the user TC is running has has the appropriate permissions to the network resource. D Hi, Thanks for all the input. I know about service logins being only able to use UNC paths (not drive letters) to access network shares.

The drive mappings are stored in the user profile, and since I do not think service accounts access user profiles, the service account will not remap the drives when using the account to start a service (it will when you actually log in interactively with the account). You can try setting some custom environment variables in the user profile (not the system profile) and see if they are accessible by the service account using the set command as a test to see if mapping might be accessible. What you probably need to do is actually set the drive mappings using the Windows API dynamically when Tomcat starts, or use UNCs. I know you want to display the drive mappings, but you could fake the display by doing a net use myfilemappings.txt from the command line (when logged into the account), and just calling the file to display the mappings. Obviously, if the mappings change, you would have to redo the file. I think those are your only options. You might want to do a Google search and see if there is a way for service accounts to use remembered mapped drives. I routinely use net use \\hostname\share from inside programs running as Windows Services (not in Java, though, but it should not matter). Drive letters don't work. The exact form I use is : net use \\hostname\sharename password /USER:userid And then later I can open/read/write/close files as \\hostname \sharename\filepath. It works, but I have noticed one quirk in my programs : after doing the net use, the very first access to the share doesn't work and returns an error. The second access and all subsequent ones work though. I have no idea why this is, but I have just adapted my programs to work around this issue (by doing a first dummy access and ignoring the result), and never had any problem since.

There are no entries in the list. We understand that. What we are trying to tell you if you want those mappings to appear (regardless of whether they are already mapped or not), we think you need to dynamically map them within your application. Otherwise, we think you will continue to experience the situation you describe above. Again, the return above happen only when running as a service but works fine when tomcat starts from startup.bat in a console. Works fine means it returns drive letter, unc equivalent etc ... basically what you normally see when you have mapped network drives and run net use from cmd.exe. It make no sense I know but I'm at a loss. I think it makes sense (pending further information on how you actually access the shares from within your application) because the application is not actually using a mapped drive, but using its access rights from a UNC. Hi Jeffrey, I think I'm getting what you might be saying. Because net use returns a drive letter in its return then the service cannot deal with it? To answer your question about how we access shares from within our app, we *have to* use UNC paths that already have the proper credentials provided by a common username password that the service uses to login (local account with same username and password as an account already on the file server) So when the app accesses the UNC path for the first time it tries to use it's service login credentials which we require to exist on the file server with the shares. Therefore when we do our first network access the service login account is used to authenticate with the file server and because we create an account on the file server with the same username and password we get clean access to the shares. I never liked having this rule (service login name and password must exist on the file server matching exactly) but it has work for us for years. But getting back to net use, because drive letters are not usable by code running in the service, we don't get anything back from net use because part of its return is a drive letter? I hope I'm making sense, but is that the gist of what you are saying? If it is then it starts to make a lot more sense now. Thanks for hanging in there with me.

I know about service logins being only able to use UNC paths (not drive letters) to access network shares. I know the service login password have to have a matching account on the server with the shares in order for the tomcat app to use (access) those shares. We do all of this. Out tomcat app depends on network shares to function and it always has worked as long as the service login account matches an account on the server with the shares. What I'm trying to do in an html interface is make a pulldown menu list of my mapped drives as a location for our database backup. It's a preference setup to where an automated scheduled backup will write the backups. I'm using net use to produce what you would expect for output (all the mapped network drives) and parsing the output to produce the pulldown menu item containing the unc portion gleaned from the net use output. I need the unc portion as this is what a tomcat app needs. No matter what I do outside the app I cannot produce the effectively empty list that the app is producing. I'm logged into Windows as the same account as the service and I open a command prompt and see all my mapped drives via net use. I have tried UAC on and off and it changes nothing. I added a simple dir to the app and I can get that output but not the net use output. I do know it has to do with the service as I said because when tomcat is started via the startup.bat it works great. Maybe it is a Windows question but thought someone may have had some similar experience. Thanks for eveyone's thoughts. -Pat You still have not answered how the mapping are being made in the first place. Is the service account dynamically setting the mapping using net use, or through the Windows API? Are you relying on static mappings in the user account profile? Hi Jeffrey, The drive mapping are happening through the Windows Explorer interface. The file server is browsed and the shares on the file server are mapped by right-clicking the share, mapping it to a drive letter and I check the checkbox Reconnect at logon. Then I start my app. (I'm not using any user profiles.) -Pat Jeffrey Harris Pat, I do not think that will work for a service account. The drive mappings are stored in the user profile, and since I do not think service accounts access user profiles, the service account will not remap the drives when using the account to start a service (it will when you actually log in interactively with the account). You can try setting some custom environment variables in the user profile (not the system profile) and see if they are accessible by the service account using the set command as a test to see if mapping might be accessible. What you probably need to do is actually set the drive mappings using the Windows API dynamically when Tomcat starts, or use UNCs. I know you want to display the drive mappings, but you could fake the display by doing a net use myfilemappings.txt from the command line (when logged into the account), and just calling the file to display the mappings. Obviously, if the mappings change, you would have to redo the file. I think those are your only options. You might want to do a Google search and see if there is a way for service accounts to use remembered mapped drives. I routinely use net use \\hostname\share from inside programs running as Windows Services (not in Java, though, but it should not matter). Drive letters don't work. The exact form I use is : net use \\hostname\sharename password /USER:userid And then later I can open/read/write/close files as \\hostname \sharename\filepath. It works, but I have noticed one quirk in my programs : after doing the net use, the very first access to the share doesn't work and returns an error. The second access and all subsequent ones work though. I have no idea why this is, but I have just adapted my programs to work around this issue (by doing a first dummy access and ignoring the result), and never had any problem since. (**) To be able to do this, the Service *cannot* run as the LocalSystem or LocalService user. By design in Windows, these special users do not have access to any Windows network

I hope I'm making sense, but is that the gist of what you are saying? If it is then it starts to make a lot more sense now. Thanks for hanging in there with me. Pat Mappings are strictly a convention for using UNCs with drive letters (a fall back to the days of Windows 3.1 and 95/98 which did not understand UNCs, and neither did applications). Based on your description, you are using passthrough authentication because you are operating in a workgroup environment (if you were in a domain environment, you would simply assign a domain account, and give that account the right permissions to the share). Your description above about authentication is exactly right - matching accounts and passwords means transparent access to the share. Andre discussed this point in his last post - a service account logging in interactively has a different environment than a service account logging in as a service. Windows is basically ignoring any drive mappings that you specify because they were specified outside of the service session. You are gaining access because of the UNCs and the passthrough authentication. If you want to use drive mappings, you need to map them WITHIN your application (or service session) to appear. See the link in Serge's post for some ideas how to do this. I think the best method is to actually map the drives yourself within your application, if you can; otherwise, set up a service that does the drive mappings, and then calls your Tomcat service. If all you want to do is make the list of mappings appear in an HTML page (without actually using them in your application), you can just fake the list as I discussed previously. The key point is because the mappings are not set within the service session itself, you are NOT using the mappings, only the UNCs, and they will not appear using the net use command within the service. Jeffrey Harris Hi Jeffrey, Yes, I now get it. Thanks for the lesson on Windows Networking (I thought I knew well) and thanks to Andre as well. You also said that if all I wanted to do was make a list of mapping appear in an html page (without actually using them in your application), you can just fake it as previously discussed.

runtime.exec cmd.exe /C net use
Hi, I'm trying to run the following command ( runtime.exec cmd.exe /C net use ) from my tomcat app and it's returning : net use New connections will be remembered. There are no entries in the list. This only happen when I run as a Windows service. If I run the tomcat batch file to start tomcat then net use returns all my mapped network drives. The service login is an account that has access to the network shares as my app uses those shares, but the service login should not preclude the command from executing properly. If I substitute dir for net use that works and I get a directory listing. The combo of net use command using cmd.exe and running as a service seems to be the conflict. Any input much appreciated.

Upgrading Tomcat in the customer base
Hi, We deploy tomcat in our own folder (c:\rsi_tc\tomcat) on a WIndows machine as a service. We use the service.bat to install as a service. Historically to update tomcat we would remove the current version and install the new version. There is rub in all this which we have to change the service login to be an account that can access files from a network share. Therefore when we upgrade tomcat, we remove the current version and install the new version and then someone ( the customer :-( ) has to go into the service and change the service login back to the account that will give them access to the network share. I'm looking for a way (if possible) to avoid having the customer to have change the service login. I'm looking for suggestions to make this easier and have the following questions about whether some of my thoughts to make it easier are safe. 1. Can I *not* uninstall the service and just replace the folder structure on the file system with the new version? I have tried it and it seems to work but question whether or not it is safe. I know if a major version changes I cannot do this as the service calls tomcat6.exe vs tomcat7.exe for instance and therefore would have to do the complete uninstall/install. 2. If I do the above does calling the service.bat install again using the *newer* service.bat version make a difference? We are calling it (the newer service.bat) and it seems to be harmless and thought that it might help in case something in the batch install changed, we would get the changes. Bottom line, has anyone faced this dilemma and found a successful way to upgrade a tomcat instance that uses a unique service login. Thanks for any input.

Cannot access my app after Tomcat 7.0.28
Hi, When using any build of Tomcat *post* 7.0.28, I cannot access my app ! The app comes up as it does in 7.0.28 (which works) and logs look the same (no errors). I just can't do an http call to the server. A packet trace shown the tcp connect (3 way handshake) and then no response to Get / HTTP/1.1. The index.jsp in ROOT is a jsp containing a redirect to my app. % response.sendRedirect(/myapp/index.do); % Did something change in 7.0.29 and beyond that might cause this behavior? I looked through the changelog and nothing jumped out at me. Thanks Pat - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Is it possible that your 7.0.29+ configuration is missing some configuration that exists in your 7.0.28 configuration? You also may want to share the steps you took while migrating to, installing, or configuring your 7.0.29+ environment. I downloaded the 32 bit zip version of the tomcat. Change the tcp port in the server.xml file from 8080 to 80. The platform is Windows 7 64 bit. I run the service.bat file to install it as a service. (Service install Tomcat7). I did not replace the index.jsp this time and did not introduce my war. I then started the service and I was able to get to the standard Tomcat ROOT page. So I know Tomcat works. I stop tomcat, drop my war file in and restart tomcat. I go to standardout.log and I see my app is completely up and is running, as it prints an info line every 5 minutes to stdout. At this point I cannot get to the ROOT page (Now has the stock index.jsp) nor can I get to my app by typing the URL consisting of the ip address of the computer +/myapp (e.g. http://192168.2.2/rrmt). Both just hang in the browser. Now I just noticed that on this 4 core server, tomcat7.exe *32 is using 25% CPU. My app *seems happy printing it's server is up message to the stdout.log. Same war works in 7.0.27 and a few tomcats prior but every tomcat fails as described above for every version post 7.0.27 up through 7.0.37. I have tried them all. It must be something in my code but I perplexed. The act of adding my war causes the problem. I checked the changelog for tomcat and cannot see anything that would cause this. Any thoughts appreciated.

Re: Cannot access my app after Tomcat 7.0.28
Hi Chuck, I ran tomcat7w.exe //MS//Tomcat7 and the service started and I have a monitor in the tray, I waited till my app was up and CPU was again at 25%. When I right-click and select 'Thread Dump', I'm not getting any thread dump in stdout.log. What I did notice is in the commons-daemon.2013...log is the following message: [2013-03-05 20:03:16] [error] [ 7724] The handle is invalid Any ideas?

64 Bit Tomcat
Hello, I have an open question about 32 bit vs 64 bit. We are currently deploying our app with 32 bit JVM and Tomcat. We are running into memory issues as we add more functionality (some via tools in the open source ecosystem). We are testing our complete app with 64 bit JVM and 64 bit Tomcat and so far we have seen no issues. My question is how prevalent is the deployment of 64 bit enterprise apps. (just to show my naiveté). We use some open source tools and look to use more in the future. Is there things I should be worried about in moving to 64 bit in terms of open source tools? I'll take any and all input. Thanks very much. Pat - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Yes, it works for me in both ways (either via CLI or GUI).

Re: Setting JVM Parameters in Windows Service for Tomcat7
Hi Mikolaj,
I got it to work. I was not using a space after the --JvmMs and --
JvmMx switches.
So in summary the following works: \tomcat7.exe //US//tomcat7 --JvmMs
512 --JvmMx 1024
Thanks for everyone's help.

Thanks for the nice discussion. Matthias - can you please elaborate on exactly what it is not practicable for our production environment means? I want to put the configuration files and property settings in a local VCS (e.g. a local git) so that I can track the changes. But now I see, that there are some technical reasons for using the registry. I think I will use a batch-script then which sets the registry. Matthias PS There are two ways of setting the registry: 1.

I thought it was according to : http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html If it doesn't work, can anyone confirm that you cannot do this ?

Note that any included CSS files will also not be found (i.e. CSS includes CSS) for the same reason. Is there a hard and fast rule here I’m missing. What’s best practice ? I dunno about best practice, but we do what you are doing: put the webapp prefix into the CSS files and don't forget to change it if you re-locate the webapp to another prefix (which pretty much never happens). There are other options that I can think of off the top of my head: 1. Use the HTML base / tag to set the base URL in your dynamic pages. Any relative URLs will be relative to that base. This may ruin the URLs that you have carefully and properly prefixed and escaped in your JSPs, but it's an option. 2. Make your CSS files dynamic: have Tomcat serve them and perform the context-path translation on the fly. 3. Use server-side content filtering for .css files. This is roughly the same as #2 except that you would use a simpler string-replace mechanism instead of a fully-dynamic content-generation technology (such as JSP, etc.). 4. Write a bunch of URL rewrite rules that match the CSS/image files that you know aren't in the right place. This is going to be a pain in the neck. And any of the above will cause problems if you want to give your app to a graphic designer, who will move these pages to his workstation and try to work on them. I'm sure there are other options. What I do not understand here (maybe due to my lack of knowledge of JSP pages logic) is why one would need to fix anything, if the links are correctly spelled-out in the first place, taking into account how a browser handles absolute/relative links. e.g. imagine this structure : (catalina_base)/webapps/ myapp/ (contains *.JSP pages) /images/ (contains images) /css/ (contains stylesheets) If the JSP pages contain links to stylesheets located in myapp/ css, their reference should say : href(or src)=css/name-of- stylesheet.css If the css files in turn contain links to images, they can be expressed as : src=../images/some-image.jpg And so on. If you then move en block the whole myapp somewhere else, all links should keep working just fine. Or does something there not work in a webapp/JSP context ? My question was about why JSP links work *without* the app prefix and the CSS links do not. I think Chris' answer of the JSPs are dynamic and intern automatically get the app prefix where CSS are not dynamic and therefore the CSS link has to account for the app prefix. How it is fixed André was not the issue, but why JSP links and CSS links behave differently. I will go with that explanation and appreciate your thoughts on this. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

We now package the app as a war file called myapp.war and place it into the webapps folder where it explodes into a folder called myapp. Everything works except for one thing. Our app has the option to let the user change the look feel of the web app using predefined skins which we store in a folder called templates inside the myapp folder. Inside the templates folder are the folders that represent all the various skins (skin1, skin2 etc ..). These skin folders contain all the jsps, the css file and images that represent the content of each skin. Here’s the problem which is easily remedied but I want to know why. Let me explain. All the skins work except image references in the style sheet (css) cannot be found. Yet images referenced in the jsps are found ! The references to the images begin with the url /templates/skin1/images/ image1.png in both the css case and the jsp case. Now to fix the problem I change the url in the style sheet by adding my app name in front (i.e. /myapp/ templates/skin1/images/image1.png) and this fixes the problem. I have no problem with changing this and it’s even logical. I’m just trying to understand why this only has presented a problem with links in the css and not the jsps. In firebug the reference to images already have my app name prepended to the images automatically. (i.e. /myapp/templates/skin1/ images/image2.png) YET the jsps’ references only begin the url /templates/skin1/images/image1.png (no prepended app name) 1. Isn't it templates/skin1/images/image1.png in JSPs? (Without leading /, thus relative to the current page and not to the root of the web server). No, it's actually templates/$(skin)/images/image1.png in the JSPs. How do you print those links in JSPs? (Hard-coded, or you are using some tag or API calls?) Tags 2. How do you write the URLs in your css files? Hard coded. /templates/skin1/images/image1.pngIf I try removing the / prefix then the path in the browser becomes /appname/templates/skin1/css/ templates/skin1/images/image1.png Read the official CSS spec from W3C on how relative links in css files are resolved. In CSS 2.1 it is in ch.4.3.4. Citing: For CSS style sheets, the base URI is that of the style sheet, not that of the source document. Interesting, I can try a relative path starting from the location of CSS ? I read up.

Connector Connection Timeout
Hi, I see that the default connection timeout for the Tomcat connector by default is set to 2 (20 sec). This has been the shipping default for 5.x, 6.x and 7.x (in the server.xml) The documentation describes the default timeout to be 6 (60 sec). Is the default value of 2 in the server.xml for for 5.x, 6.x and 7.x set to 2 for a reason instead of the documented 6 default ?

Re: My web application to use SSL (JSSE - RSA)
Hi, Is APR/native Connector dramatically faster then Java Nio Blocking Connector or is it marginal ? I'd love faster SSL but all my keys and certs are java based (keytool). Will APR ever support Java SSL ? I find Java keytool to be reasonably easy to use. Is OpenSSL as easy to use ? Thanks for any input.

The Javadoc for javax.net.ssl.SSLContext.getInstance has a pointer to documentation for standard names (which takes you through several hops to) here: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/ StandardNames.html#SSLContext Those are the valid ssl protocol names you can choose. If you want use only ciphers that use the RSA algorithm (which is really limiting, IMO), you can look up their names here (after scrolling a bit downward): http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/ StandardNames.html#jssenames Just look for stuff like SSL_DH_DSS_blah_blah_blah. Of course, support for a certain algorithm might not be available in your environment. It's best to find out what your JVM supports and use that. I wrote a short bit of code a while back to determine the supported algorithms and the default cipher suite for an SSLSocketFactory. I'll try to dig it up and post it. !-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -- Connector port=8009 protocol=AJP/1.3 redirectPort=8443 / If you aren't using AJP, then disable the extra connector. Hoping you are not overwhelmed. Anything else ? You had other errors in the log file. After you get SSL working properly, stop Tomcat, delete all your logs and re-launch it.

Tomcat logging changed between 6.0.29 6.0.32
Hello, I noticed that I'm getting what appears to be *all* console logging showing up in my tomcat6-stdout log file. It's capturing so much more that then it used to. I looked at the changelog from 6.0.29 to 6.0.32 and I don't see anything that describes such a change. Does anyone know what exactly did change and if there is a way to go back to previous behavior.

Re: Tomcat logging changed between 6.0.29 6.0.32
There are definitely changes. What used to show up was anything I printed from my app via System.out.println. I don't see any of those messages in any of the logs. What I see that's was never seen in any Tomcat logs is what looks like messaging from a 3rd party dll. If I run the console via tomcat6.exe I do see the messages I print via System.out.println but I also see messages that are not in my code which *ARE* the new messages seen now in stdout from the 3rd party library. Also of note, I see the stderr log with a *lot of the messages* that are in the Catalina log. Exact duplicate line entries. Finally I went back to 6.0.29 and noted this. There is a new log in 6.0.32 called commons-daemon.2011-04-01.log also the stderr stdout have different names between the two builds. 6.0.29 names stdout_20110402.log stderr_20110402.log 6.0.32 names tomcat6-stderr.2011-04-02.log tomcat6-stdout.2011-04-02.log The OS is Windows 7 64 Bit.

Win7 calling native code via JNI
Hello,
I have a ROOT webapp running in Tomcat 6.0.20 as a SERVICE on
Windows 7 and it runs fine calling native code via JNI.
Now for debugging purposes :
I'm trying to run it with tomcat not running as a service (tomcat
started via startup.bat) and the load
of my bridge dll is ok, but as soon as I call the dll's init function
(CPPInit) it crashed the JVM.
If you look at the code you will see I try to create a file on the
root of the C drive (remotedebug.txt) and
this file never gets created but I don't think that is what is
causing the crash as CPPInit is called after
this file create and CPPInit seems to be what's failing.

Re: Win7 calling native code via JNI
There is only a 32 bit JVM on the machine. The bridge dll has not been recompiled since mid '08. If it was an incompatibility with the Microsoft Runtime Library wouldn't you expect the Service Version to do the same ? If you look at the code you will see I try to create a file on the root of the C drive (remotedebug.txt) and The file does get created via the Service but not standalone, weird. If it was crashing as a result of the file creation, would you expect to see the CPPinit at the top of the stack trace ?

What should docbase be set to ?
Hello, I am deploying a single app under the ROOT context. My appbase is c:/ comapany/myapps. So my app is in c:/company/myapps/ROOT. My question is for *both* Tomcat 5.5.23 and 6.0.20, in my context.xml what should my docbase be set to ? Right now I have it set to docbase=.

How should autoDeploy be set for an exploded app ?
Hello, I'm deploying a web app which happens to be ROOT. It is not a WAR file but an exploded app. My Host line is as follows : Host name=192.168.20.20 appBase=c:/company/myapps debug=0 unpackWARs=false autoDeploy=true /Host The fact the I'm deploying it as an exploded app what should autoDeploy be set to *ideally*. The reason I write this is because we have made changes to the app and even sometimes deleted the /conf/Catalina/192.168.20.20/ROOT.xml and find out that the ROOT folder off of the appBase has been completely deleted !! I can't reproduce the scenario that causes the deletion but the autoDeploy attribute has piqued my curiosity.

Correct. Good ! That is what I had. I had the ROOT app off the webapps folder of a default Tomcat install. No, that ROOT app applied only to the default Host - no others. Each Host has an entirely separate and independent set of webapps. When I say a ROOT app it is THE ROOT app that Tomcat installs, nothing to do with my app. It's content is the default Tomcat home page with Administration, Documentation. Tomcat Online, and Miscellaneous on the left side of the page. So right after a fresh install of Tomcat this page is displayed when you type http://localhost. I don't touch that app, I leave it alone and it remains the machine's ROOT APP. We then created a virtual host (with a real domain name) where OUR app responded to that domain name. (ie Host Name : www.myapp.com appBase = c:/myapp) No, an app is not equivalent to a domain (Host) name. As stated previously by several of us, the ROOT app for the particular Host will handle any requests directed to the Host that do not map to any other apps *for that Host*. Again, each Host is completely independent of the others. If running three apps on one host , how do you get to those apps. Correct me if I am wrong : Example one is a Single Host domain name called www.myapp.com. To get to app1, I would type http://www.myapp.com/app1 To get to app2, I would type http://www.myapp.com/app2 To get to app3, I would type http://www.myapp.com/app3 Is this correct ? If it is, (Which I think it is and will work) then I don't like to have our customers having to add /app1 or /app2 or / app3 to the end of SINGLE URL (domain name) to get to a particular app. But I'm pretty sure this is VALID and SHOULD work but the additional leg appended to the URL to get to a particular app is awful to me. Example two is one machine with one public IP address and three domain names mapping to that one IP address. The three domain names are www.myapp1.com, www.myapp2.com, and finally www.myapp3.com, all mapping to one public IP address. I set up three VIRTUAL HOSTS matching the names of the 3 PUBLIC domain names I have mapping to the IP address of the box. Like the following : Host name = www.myapp1.com appbase = c:/app1 Host name = www.myapp2.com appbase = c:/app2 Host name = www.myapp3.com appbase = c:/app3 The content of each appBase folder is all of our app files. (classes, libs WEB-INF/web.xml, Proofs folder) These folders (c:/app1, c:/ app2,c:/app3) behave like the web root of each of the domain names (www.myapp1.com,www.myapp2.com,www.myapp3.com) accordingly. Is this Valid ? I hope so because this is how we have been deploying multiple apps on a single box and it has been working. Is this just dumb luck ? Maybe ! If this is NOT valid please give an example of deploying three app from one machine. By the way this configuration is where FIlter Mapping was NOT working. FIlter mapping started to work when I added a ROOT folder to say the first app. So now the following folder exists c:/app1/ROOT and this is where I put my infamous Proofs folder (c:/app1/ROOT/Proofs). I did change my FILTER MAPPING PATTERN in my web.xml to be /ROOT/Proofs/* and then I started to get my FILTER MAPPING HITS. I would NOT gets hits when my infamous Proofs folder was located in c:/app1/Proofs and the FILTER MAPPING PATTERN in my web.xml was / Proofs/* Which is where this all started. I apologize for and confusion I may have caused anyone while I'm trying to get my arm around this by trying and retrying things. Your help and insight is greatly appreciated. Everything in this config has worked for a couple years. The infamous Proofs folder was located in c:/myapp/Proofs which I assume c:/myapp to be the web root for this www.myapp.com host. Whatever you had working appears to have been dumb luck, and dependent on undefined behavior of having an empty docBase (which is illegal). Covered above I think. After suggestions from the forum about moving the app (WEB_INF and all) under a ROOT folder I added to c:/myapp folder which now contains everything for the app under it, viola, Filter Mapping started to work ! Because you were finally using a valid configuration. Actually now I have found that I can leave my app in c:/app1 and just make the changes noted above (add ROOT/Proofs to my appBase path and change my FILTER MAPPING PATTERN in my web.xml to be /ROOT/Proofs/* and then I started to get my FILTER MAPPING HITS.)

If running three apps on one host , how do you get to those apps. If by host, you mean a Host entry in server.xml, the apps will have different names under the appBase directory of that Host. One should be named ROOT, the others can be whatever you want your users to refer to them as. Example one is a Single Host domain name called www.myapp.com.

I don't like to have our customers having to add /app1 or /app2 or /app3 to the end of SINGLE URL (domain name) to get to a particular app. Don't confuse URL with domain name; the domain name is only a part of a URL. The users are going to need to differentiate the apps by some means, and the part after the domain name is as good as any. But I'm pretty sure this is VALID and SHOULD work but the additional leg appended to the URL to get to a particular app is awful to me. How do you suggest the users specify which app they want to access? Your misgivings are unfounded. Host name = www.myapp1.com appbase = c:/app1 Host name = www.myapp2.com appbase = c:/app2 Host name = www.myapp3.com appbase = c:/app3 O.k. so far, but it does give the (sometimes desirable) impression that there are three different servers. The content of each appBase folder is all of our app files. That's where you're not getting it. The app files must go under C:/ appx/ROOT, not directly under the appBase. These folders (c:/app1, c:/app2, c:/app3) behave like the web root of each of the domain names (www.myapp1.com, www.myapp2.com, www.myapp3.com) accordingly. Wrong. The appBase is just the location of *all* webapps for the Host. The default webapp for the Host MUST be placed in a directory named ROOT (case sensitive) UNDER the appBase directory. Other webapps for the Host - if any - go into other directories under that Host's appBase. Ahh That makes sense Finally ! The appBase is just a location for ALL webapps for a given Host. Therefore every Host MUST have at least a ROOT app which MAY be the only app for that Host. GOT IT ! One final question on your final statement. If I have 3 apps for a given Host then off my appBase I would have : /ROOT (a must default for each Host) /app2 /app3 To access these apps, the URL's for the apps would be : http://www.my-three-apps.com (This for the ROOT app) http://www.my-three-apps.com/app2 (This for the /app2 app) http://www.my-three-apps.com/app3 (This for the /app3 app) If this is correct I finally got it.

There is something magic about adding the folder ROOT and having it end up in the URL's being passed back and forth for ME to start getting FILTER MAPPING HITS. It's not magic, it's defined behavior; ROOT is the default webapp for the Host. Do you still have the same thought after what I covered above ? Yes, you're still refusing to do things in the proper, documented way. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Re: Tomcat Filter Mapping Issue
Uncle ! I just created a ROOT folder off of my appBase, cut and pasted all of what was in my appbase into the new ROOT folder. Restart Tomcat and I try and hit the app with the hostname and I get a 404 for /. (If I add /ROOT to the appBase path and I can hit the app successfully.) I tried Tomcat v5.5 and v6.0 with the same result. I move all my files from ROOT up one level back into appBase , delete the ROOT folder, remove /ROOT from my appBase and I can hit the app successfully ? AH!!! Can anyone post a virtual host snippet from their server.xml ? I have to be missing something in my server.xml.

Re: Tomcat Filter Mapping Issue
Charles, Looking back you are correct. With all my confusion that clearly did not register as I could plainly see it the host section of my server .xml. You guys have a lot of patience with a guy like me and I shouldn't post with such ignorance. I'm inheriting this project from the one who design it. It clearly has flaws in it's config. I have to go back a spend some time on the Tomcat doc site and gain some expertise in Tomcat. Thanks again for your patience. -P -- From: Caldarale, Charles R chuck.caldar...@unisys.com Sent: Sunday, January 10, 2010 6:57 PM To: Tomcat Users List users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: RE: Tomcat Filter Mapping Issue From: Patrick Flaherty [mailto:pflah...@rampageinc.com] Subject: Re: Tomcat Filter Mapping Issue To solve it, I simply removed the docBase= from the Host ? Note that we mentioned an empty docBase was illegal quite some time ago. You should not have *any* Context elements in server.xml. Whatever you've been reading that suggested you do so is sadly out of date, or flat-out wrong. Again, use the real Tomcat doc, not 3rd-party scribblings. it's ok not to have a docBase ? There is always a docBase; but when the Context elements are properly located, it's calculated automatically from the location of the webapp. For Tomcat versions starting with 5.0.x, the proper place to put your Context elements is in each app's META-INF/context.xml file. When doing so, the path and docBase attributes must be omitted. An alternate location for Context elements is in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml, and again the path attribute must be omitted. You *may* use the docBase attribute in this latter case, but only if the webapp is located outside of the Host appBase directory.

Re: Tomcat Filter Mapping Issue
Chris, Although adding ROOT of my appBase fixed my Filter mapping issue, I'm guessing that I need to put every bit of my app (all classes, libs etc ) into that ROOT folder, correct ? So then if I decide to deploy another app in a virtual host say for instance : Host Name : www.domain.com appBase=c:/app123 If that has a folder called proofs that I want filter mapping hits on, do I created a ROOT folder off of my appBase (ie c:/app123/ROOT) and put every bit of my app (all classes, libs etc ) into that ROOT folder ? I'm sorry to belabor the point. I know that adding the ROOT folder fixed my initial problem but I not sure if that is because when only running 1 host it should be called ROOT or is it that every Host needs to have a ROOT folder off of it's appBase and everything should bit of the app should be put in there. It seems the ROOT folder was the key here but before we wanted to add filter mapping app worked fine when appBase is what we deemed to be the web root for the app. It has worked well like that for years. Is there a hard and fast rule about deployment that I'm missing ? (Probably) If there is. it seems to revolve around having a ROOT folder for each app maybe ? Any more enlightenment would be appreciated.

Maybe Tomcat has it's own filter mapping for /WEB-INF/web.xml ? I could not get to any file in /META-INF/* either ? If you deployed correctly under webapps/ROOT, then the WEB-INF folder and its contents should be protected by the DefaultServlet and should return a 404: this is expected behavior. If you have webapps/WEB-INF/web.xml, then I'd expect you to be able to successfully request /WEB-INF/web.xml because /WEB-INF looks like a context to Tomcat. It's possible that Tomcat actively protects [appBase]/WEB-INF similar to protecting a real webapp's WEB-INF directory, but it is not required to do so. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAktI5vQACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBI+wCgkJrpG5w21CEZjYSYDCV6eTJq R6MAmQEO8EWXkoWm2aOjKS+ZZ8e0UqFI =HDIu -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Is there a hard and fast rule about deployment that I'm missing ? (Probably) If there is. it seems to revolve around having a ROOT folder for each app maybe ? Any more enlightenment would be appreciated. Thanks once again. ROOT (in uppercase) is not a folder, but a web application. Yes, that is understood. It behaves like any other web application (You should remember, that web applications are independent of each other). The only difference is that it is mapped to the URL /. Your say the ROOT app is mapped to URL / then yes that is understood. Every host should have a ROOT application. Meaning every host should have a ROOT app regardless of whether you are hosting ONE or MORE apps on a host ! Any requests that cannot be mapped to any other web application will be directed to this one, so that it can show its 404th error page or otherwise process it. (If there is no ROOT application deployed, such requests cannot be processed and will result in a zero-length empty response.) If you have two applications /mywebapp /ROOT then - any request to /myweapp/foo will be processed by mywebapp (and the ROOT one will not see it at all), That is what I had. I had the ROOT app off the webapps folder of a default Tomcat install. We then created a virtual host (with a real domain name) where OUR app responded to that domain name. (ie Host Name : www.myapp.com appBase = c:/myapp) Everything in this config has worked for a couple years. The infamous Proofs folder was located in c:/myapp/Proofs which I assume c:/myapp to be the web root for this www.myapp.com host. It seems to have always behaved as such. Am I ok up to this point ? (maybe not ?) Finally we decided a wanted to use Filter Mapping for added security. Filter Mapping would not give us a hit for an URL's of type http://www.myapp.com/Proofs/* (our filter map using /Proofs/*). After suggestions from the forum about moving the app (WEB_INF and all) under a ROOT folder I added to c:/myapp folder which now contains everything for the app under it, viola, Filter Mapping started to work ! I don't know why this was the case but I went with it. - any request to /myweapp2/foo will be processed by ROOT (because there is no myweapp2 application to process it). Do people have secondary app (after ROOT) setup like I described above running with filter mapping functioning ? Seems like maybe a bug to me or a misconfiguration of some sort on my part.

Tomcat Filter Mapping Issue
Hello, I'm trying to get filter mapping working in Windows Tomcat 6.0.20. I can get it to work one way but not another. I have 2 virtual hosts where filter mapping on one host is working (I get a hit) and another host that does not work (no hits) Here are the 2 virtual hosts as seen in Server.xml file : Fails (no hits) Host name=ft.com appBase=c:/FilterTest unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false /Host Works (I get hits) Host name=localhost appBase=webapps unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false /Host Here is my filter : filter filter-nameFileAccessFilter/filter-name filter-classcom.mcs.webapp.filter.FileAccessFilter/filter-class /filter filter-mapping filter-nameFileAccessFilter/filter-name url-pattern/Proofs/*/url-pattern /filter-mapping If I type the following I get a hit (Using Second host from above) : http://localhost/Proofs/1/calendar.png If I type the following I DO NOT get a hit (Using First host from above) : http://ft.com/Proofs/1/calendar.png In both cases the png image is found and displayed in the browser. My guest is it has something to do with the appBase where the one that works is : appBase=webapps and the one that fails is : appBase=c:/FilterTest Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Re: Tomcat Filter Mapping Issue
Hello, Thanks for your response. I don't intend to run 2 apps (virtual hosts) on the server, just one. I have 2 setup on the same server so I could compare results from the different setups. I could not get it to work using our shipping configuration which is appBase pointing to a folder off the c:\ drive. But I discovered it worked setting up the app the traditional way. We have an established customer where the appBase is not off of % CATALINAHOME% but instead in a folder off the c:\ drive. Therefore I'm trying to get the filter mapping to work with the appBase set to a folder of the c:\ drive. If I understand what you are saying, this will and cannot not work with appBase set to a folder of the c:\ drive ? Thanks for any clarification. -P On Jan 8, 2010, at 11:01 AM, Pid wrote: On 08/01/2010 14:55, Patrick Flaherty wrote: Hello, I'm trying to get filter mapping working in Windows Tomcat 6.0.20.

Unless your application is called ROOT.war (or is the exploded dir ROOT) and is placed inside C:/FilterTest, you're not going to get any joy. You're also likely to have trouble seeing requests on that Host, unless you are requesting http://ft.com/Proofs/calendar.jpg; - as you've set no aliases and the Host named localhost will pick up all other requests as it's probably set as the defaultHost in the Engine.

Re: Tomcat Filter Mapping Issue
If I use a host name of ft.com with a appBase of c:/FilterTest then doesn't c:/FilterTest become my web server root for ft.com? Is seems to work that way for us although it may not be the correct way to deploy a web app. The proofs folder is just that a folder off the (Our c:/FilterTest) web root and we are try to get a filter mapping hit when you type http://ft.com/Proofs/1/calendar.png. If you deploy an app off of %CATALINAHOME% then doesn't the user have to type http://my.domainname.com/myapp ? I want it to hit my app when I type http://my.domainname.com. That is how it works with our product today. It starting to sound like the complete URL has to be part of % CATALINAHOME%'s path to get a filter hit ?

Since /Proofs doesn't have a WEB-INF/web.xml file, your filter is not being created and it's not being called. I'll bet that you can also request this file: http://ft.com/WEB-INF/web.xml Here, Tomcat will serve this file that might be expected to be protected because /WEB-INF looks like a (poorly-named) web application and not a proper deployment descriptor directory in a proper web app. If you deploy an app off of %CATALINAHOME% then doesn't the user have to type http://my.domainname.com/myapp ?
