The JK connector is the one from the mod_jk debian package. Could that be an issue if it was not compiled for the write version of tomcat? I'm not really sure how the jk connector builds work. If the debian docs don't tell you what version they are using then your guess is as good as mine. From what you say this is easy to repeat. Have you tried accessing the same file directly on Tomcat? Another option is to enable access logging in httpd and Tomcat and turn up the mod_jk log level to debug, run the test and analyse the results. It should be obvious quite quickly where it id going wrong.

For all their perceived faults, it is unlikely that Debian packagers would package mutually incompatible versions of Apache, Tomcat, Java, and mod_jk. They may do funny things with the locations of files, but incompatible versions is something I have not seen often yet. As to up-to-date, that is another question. The versions of Apache, Tomcat, Java and mod_jk might not be the latest ones available on the respective original sites for all these packages. (*) So it might help if you tracked down which exact version of each is really installed on your system, and listed them. Like : uname -a java -version for the version of Apache and mod_jk, look at the first line that Apache writes to it error.log file when it starts. For the precise version of Tomcat ?... This being said, for Apache/mod_jk/Tomcat, the respective probabilities of configuration errors versus incompatible versions would be something like 100 to 1. (*) That is because it takes time and work to prepare packages, and make sure that the individual components that are supposed to work together really do. And by the time that is done, it might well be that a new original version of one of the individual packages has come to be available. - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

html entities and urls with spaces
Hello, I am having some issues with tomcat not displaying pages or files with spaces in them, it simply 404s. Something like this: pdf file on filesystem.pdf being accessed at: http://server/pdf%20file%20on%20filesystem.pdf fails to display. I am migrating this site from an older RHEL server where it works fine. I am migrating to a Debian server with up to date Debian packages of apache2, tomcat5, and java6. I am using tomcat5 because the webapp had some odd html entity issues with tomcat5.5 and tomcat6 that I was not able to resolve, moving to tomcat5 fixed the issues with entities in the page content itself. I am not certain that the page content html entity issues and the urls with spaces issues are related, but it seems like they may be? To check that this was a tomcat (and not an apache issue, as I am JkMounting the site to tomcat ) issue I tested accessing items with spaces with apache and that worked fine.

Re: html entities and urls with spaces
Hi does fails to display. mean 404 or do you get a file to download and fail to render it on the client side(browser)? for the 404 make sure the files are located there where tomcat/your app looks for them for the second case check the http header sent with the pdf file.

Means it 404s. for the 404 make sure the files are located there where tomcat/your app looks for them They are indeed where it's looking for them. When I change the name of the file from file with spaces.html to file%20with%20spaces.html the browser is able to find it just fine.

Re: html entities and urls with spaces
most file systems cant read spaces in a filename so you should put in _ where you see spaces Hmmm, not sure this is the issue, both filesystems can read and write files with spaces. should be renamed to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/pdfApp/pdf_file_on_filesystem.pdf I really need to figure out a way to not rename all the files...

From: Brendan Martens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: html entities and urls with spaces Hmmm, not sure this is the issue, both filesystems can read and write files with spaces. It's certainly not the issue - spaces in file names work fine on my Windows box with Tomcat. I really need to figure out a way to not rename all the files... Your original message indicated you might be front-ending Tomcat with httpd; what happens if you send the URL with the %20 encoding direct to Tomcat? I have no trouble doing so on my systems (but I don't have a Linux box available at the moment). Try turning on Tomcat's RequestDumperValve in server.xml; perhaps your front end is decoding the URL, so all Tomcat sees is the part up to the first space. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
