Re: Regarding Tomcat url redirection

[Christopher Schultz]

r.xml and rewrite.config,

re-post

your current server.xml  element, and the complete contents

of

rewrite.config?

Have you looked at the log files after start?

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the fast response.

I added classname rewrite valeus in contex.xml file .

 
 
className="org.apache.catalina.valves.rewrite.RewriteValve"

created rewrite.config so both of them is located under  conf

under

apache-tomcat.

So according to the documentaion they say context.xml should be

placed

under webapps and rewrite.config file should be put in WEB-INF

folder

of

apache-tomcat

You need to configure the RewriteValve.

Can you give full paths to both server.xml and rewrite.config, re-post
your current server.xml  element, and the complete contents

of

rewrite.config?

Have you looked at the log files after start?

Re: Regarding Tomcat url redirection

[lavanya tech]

Hi Chris,

Thank you very much. I removed  for example.com as well as adding an
 in server.xml
I copied context.xml file
/git/app/apache-tomcat-10.1.11/webapps/towl/META-INF/context.xml
Removed < in rewrite.config files.

But still I dont redirect the URL.

For your information






*nslookup alias.example.com <http://alias.example.com>
gives-->Non-authoritative answer:Name: www.example.com
<http://www.example.com>Address:  192.168.200.10Aliases:  alias.example.com
<http://alias.example.com>*


Just to give some information here, *www.example.com
<http://www.example.com>* has alias* "alias.example.com
<http://alias.example.com>"*
But https://www.example.com:/example --> works fine with out issues but
the alias doesnot works (https://alias.example.com)
So i am not sure if the redirect url helps or if its correct

Looking for some suggestions.

Thanks
Ammu

Why do you have < symbols at the beginning of these lines?

It's best not to define any  in server.xml. I would remove this 
 entirely and allow Tomcat to auto-reploy from your 
webapps/towl directory. If you need this application to be deployed as 
the ROOT context (on / and not /towl) then you should re-name 
/git/app/apache-tomcat-10.1.11/webapps/towl to 
/git/app/apache-tomcat-10.1.11/webapps/ROOT


You also don't need a  for example.com as well as adding an 
 for the same domain (though this is probably to anonymize the 
configuration). You can feel free to simply use the "localhost"  
as the default  and deploy everything into it. This makes your 
configuration changes relative to a stock Tomcat less significant and 
easier to apply to new versions if/when necessary.

So that's 2300 users across all 9 JVMs with the same configuration?
Your cluster ought to be able to support 9 * 200 = 1800 simultaneous
active users plus 9 * 100 = 900 queued in the OS's TCP wait queue.
2300 should be within your capabilities, but it might depend heavily
upon how the load-balancer decided to allocate requests. If it sent
all the users to the same node in the cluster, then you'll see bad
performance even if you "should" be able to handle that much load.

Where is the SocketTimeoutException being thrown? On the server, or on
the client? If it's on the server, then it's the client's fault (or
the load-balancer's fault) and it's not a problem at all with your
server capacity.

If it's happening on the client, it makes a lot more sense that the
server might be overloaded. But that 60-second timeout would have to
be on the client, not on the server side. So I'm a little confused as
to what is going on, here.

We have 9 JVMs. As per current setting, per JVM max concurrency can
reach up-to 300(maxThreads="200"+acceptCount="100"). Issue was
reported when 2300 users on the system. So, I think it is not a case
of thread exhaustion but something else. Most possibly few JVMs were
under stress due to uneven load balancing(we have stickysession). This
issue just came to me and all resource usage data are gone. I have
asked for re-run so that I can analyze it properly. Let's see. :)

Back to my original question, in case of HTTP to HTTPS auto
redirection, Connector properties set for the later will be finally
applied to the request - is that a correct statement?

Thanks!

Suvendu,

Which version of Tomcat?

Can you be very explicit about what you mean by "redirect", here?

So you are probably expecting that all HTTP traffic to : will be
redirected to HTTPS over :8889?

How long does the redirect take?

Under heavy load, you might be running out of threads depending upon a
lot of factors, such as what kind of protocol and endpoint are
actually being used. It looks like you are using the APR connector
(due to SSLCertificateFile) which has some positive attributes with
request to scalability while NIO would probably be the best choice if
possible.

It's got terrible performance, though, unless you use the OpenSSL
provider (which requires Tomcat 8.5 or later).

When you say "high load", what kind of load are you talking about,
specifically?

You may simply have too much traffic for your existing hardware to
handle. No amount of configuration can fix that.

Which Connector properties will be used in case of redirection?

[Suvendu Sekhar Mondal]

Hello Everyone,

I am seeing one issue. Under high load sporadically one web service
call fails with: "java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out"
after 60 Sec mark.

In our app, httpd routes requests to  then it get redirected to
8889. Connector which listens on  has connectionTimeout=2 but
the one which listens to 8889 does not have any connectionTimeout set
explicitly. As per doc, default connectionTimeout value 60 Sec will be
set for connector which listens on 8889 - and that is playing a role
here. Do you think this assumption is correct?

Here are the connector properties:

Thanks for the tip. I am almost there. Actually, moving everything in ROOT
solved at least the actual execution of the rewriting. However, it didn't
solve entirely my problem.

If I access the URL: https://myhost/app1 in my browser the URL is actually
rewritten to https://myhost/app2 and access the index.html, etc. This is
fine.

However, if I try to access the URL: https://myhost/app1/ in my browser the
URL is NOT rewritten even if the actual application is properly accessed. I

I think everything you have above is correct, except that you want to
deploy everything in the ROOT application instead of into "app1". With
"app1", you are re-writing "/app1/app1" to "/app1/app2" when in fact you
want to rewrite "/app1" to "/app2", correct?

Also, it's important that /app1 not be a deployed application, otherwise
requests to that context path with be sent to the /app1 application
instead of to the ROOT webapp.

Redirection/URL rewriting Tomcat 8.5.14

[Daniel Savard]

Hi everyone,

my question is not specific to the Tomcat version specified in the subject
line. I am trying to implement a URL rewrite or redirection using Tomcat.
What I want to do is the following:

In a given instance of Tomcat, I have each application context setup using
the xml files in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/, so far so
good. Hence for app1 I then have the URL: https://myserver:myport/app1, etc.

What I need to do, is to have a dummy application which purpose is just to
redirect/rewrite the URL from one application to another. So, I need in
fact an empty application capturing each request and send back to the
browser a rewritten URL to the another application.

For example, suppose I want to redirect app1 to app2, I need to rewrite all
possible URL with query options and so one replacing only app1 by app2 in
the URL.

https://myserver:myport/app1/something_more_specific?opt1 should be
rewritten as https://myserver:myport/app2/something_more_specific?opt1

To do this, I read about the rewrite valve here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/rewrite.html

So, I created an empty directory $CATALINA_BASE/webapps/app1 with the
following file:

$CATALINA_BASE/webapps/app1/WEB-INF/rewrite.config

And my $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/app1.xml has the
following entry within its context:



My rewrite.config file is as follow:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/app1/?.*
RewriteRule ^/app1(/?.*)$ /app2$1 [L]

Without anything else, I am getting a HTTP 404 code. With an empty
index.html I am getting a blank page. Within a working application I am
getting the application's welcome page. But never the URL is rewritten. The
rewrite.config file is actually read, I checked by introducing some typo
and I am getting an error message at startup.

Is there a way to debug this problem? How can I see what is going on with
the execution of the rewriting class?

Regards,

What version of Tomcat?

Please post the full Tomcat startup log from catalina.out. No
particular applications need to be deployed -- just let Tomcat start
on its own and post the log.

tomcat 7.0.70 redirection is not working as expected with https

[Palod, Manish]

Hi All,
Previously I was using apache web server and tomcat for SSL redirection and web 
server, in that case redirection from apache to tomcat was working fine.

Now I have removed the apache web server and using tomcat only for ssl settings 
also [server.xml sslEnabled and other related settings], things are in general 
working fine, in one case redirection is not happening properly.

Following are the details about my server.xml
=

When I type,
http://<IP-Address<http://%3cIP-Address>>, I am able to access the server and 
able to perform the client-auth and server-auth operation

But when we try,
https://<IP-Address<https://%3cIP-Address>>, it fails


please help.

Certificate installation for https causing redirection.

[Weare Borg]

Hello friends,

Sorry for pushing the question to both Tomcat and Apache, as changes seem
to be required in both Apache and Tomcat, so I did that.

We have one test server with Debian X64 which has one web-project running
in Apache and few webapps running with Apache Tomcat. The Apache web-server
runs mod_proxy and redirecting requests to Tomcat whenever the URL is
correct.

For adding security, I created certificates with LetsEncrypt
 and installed them. Unfortunately, for one of
the webapp which I installed the certificate, it is not opening anymore,
and whenever I try to open that webapp in browser, it redirects to the
web-project running in Apache web server. What am I doing wrong?

Please note, I was provided with .pem files, and had to convert them to .crt
and .key. Unfortunately there are no errors in logs as well. Right now, I
cannot reach the tomcat webapp which I would like with https.

Here is the configuration :

Re: URL based redirection working partially with Apache tomcat

[Kernel freak]

Hi Chris,

I was able to finally resolve it by adding Host elements directly in
server.xml and creating separate webapps folder for each app to hold the
WAR file. I am on to a bigger fish. I will post a question soon in mailing
list. Thank you.

URL based redirection working partially with Apache tomcat

[Kernel freak]

Hello friends,

I would like to deploy multiple webapps(as of now 2,waiting for domain name
for 3rd) on a single Apache Tomcat instance. I have been partially
successful as one URL is working properly, other is not.

Situation :
1) I have created two folders called domain1_webapps  and domain2_webapps
and put the respective webapps named ROOT.war in each of them.
2) Then I configured server.xml as mentioned below.


 



Right now when I call www.domain-one.com( not domain-one.com), I get the
correct site. But for the 2nd one, I have to call
www.domain-two.com/app_name.

*How can I remove in 2nd domain the app_name context-path which is getting
appended. Kindly let me know. *

The ironical situation is I have not kept the app_name anywhere, guess
Tomcat must be retrieving it from POM.xml.

Multiple tomcat instances and redirection of URLs to different ports.

[Ben Calnan]

Hello everybody,

My question is about multiple tomcat instances and redirection of URLs to other 
ports on IIS6 windows server 2003.

I have two Java apps (web archives) GeoServer and GeoNetwork. Because they are 
quite big memory intensive apps, I've heard it's recommended to run two 
instances of Tomcat.

I've downloaded the windows service installer (32bit, tomcat 8.09) and 
installed two copies of Tomcat with separate ports namely:


 *   Instance 1:
*   HTTP 8083, redirect 8100,
*   Shutdown port 8005,
*   AJP 8009, redirect 8100
 *   Instance 2:
*   HTTP 8084, redirect 8101
*   shutdown 8006,
*   AJP 8010, redirect 8101


Everything seems to work correctly if I type in the URL with the port number, 
but site is only available to public users on port 8080.

So my question is how do I redirect users who say type in 
www.example.com/geoserverhttp://www.mysite.com/geoserver to 
www.example.com:8083/geoserverhttp://www.mysite.com:8083/geoserver, or 
www.example.com/geonetworkhttp://www.mysite.com/geonetwork to 
www.example.com:8084/geonetworkhttp://www.example.com:8084/geonetwork without 
them seeing. Do I need some kind of ISAPI filter to do this in IIS6?

Apologies if this is dumb question or the wrong forum, any help though would be 
very much appreciated!

Thanks

One option is to put a reverse proxy in front of your Tomcat instances.
 The reverse proxy, likely IIS in your case, would listen on the standard
ports 80 and 443 taking requests and proxying them to your Tomcat
instances.  Once a request is processed, Tomcat would send the response to
IIS and IIS would return the response to the user.  One of the neat things
about this is that since users only talk to IIS, they don't need to worry
about the port that Tomcat is running on.

There is some documentation on setting this up here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/iis.html

Error redirection settings

[Randeep]

Hi,

I'm using tomcat apache-tomcat-6.0.37
I have a few web applications in webapps directory.

portal
sms
crm

I'm creating custom error pages.

inside the webapplication portal under WEB-INF in web.xml I have given
the following.

error-page
error-code400/error-code
location/lp/404.html/location
/error-page
error-page
error-code404/error-code
location/lp/404.html/location

error-code500/error-code
location/lp/oops.html/location
/error-page
error-page
exception-typejava.lang.Throwable/exception-type
location/lp/oops.html/location
/error-page

And is working fine for the errors like

domain.com/portal/sdgggdhsh

But for other web applications, obviously it wont work. because I haven't
configured in their web.xml files.

Is there any way I can give common error pages?
I can see that there is a web.xml file under conf directory. And I have
given the settings in it. As below.

error-page
error-code400/error-code
location/404.html/location
/error-page

location/oops.html/location
/error-page
error-page
exception-typejava.lang.Throwable/exception-type
location/oops.html/location
/error-page

Path I changed. starting from / and put the files in webapps directory.
But it is not working.

How can I do this?

After a search in Google for tomcat error-page location, I found this :
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3856145/empty-page-instead-of-custom-tomcat-error-page

which seems to say that Tomcat will always prefix the given location with the
context path of the application where the error happens.
(For example, if you have location/oops.html/location, and if the error happens in your 
app /MyApp, then Tomcat will be looking for the file ...webapps/MyApp/oops.html).


So you cannot have one generic location for these error pages, and share them for all 
applications. You have to add the error page to each deployed application, separately.


More precisely : you can *define* the error pages, as you have done, in the generic 
conf/web.xml.  But you still have to put a copy of the pages themselves in each 
application separately.
I suppose that this obeys the general principle according to which each application should 
be self-contained.


Maybe in later Tomcat versions, there would be a way around this via aliases or the likes, 
but it is probably still not recommended.



Note also, separately : the URL path / resolves to .../webapps/ROOT/, not to 
.../webapps/.

Redirection of mycompany.com to www.mycompany.com

Hello,

I have a strange behavior and I do not know where to watch.

I am using tomcat7 on a debian.

My problem is that when in a browser I am writing mycompany.com I am redirected 
with to www.mycompany.com.

I am using the node host with some nodes alias.

I have searched in many configuration file and also on google but I do not find 
any answer to my behavior, isthere someone who can help me?

Thank you.

Pierre Posset.

I use a service called ZoneEdit (zoneedit.com) which lets you create 
records that cause similar redirections. For example, I can point a 
domain name, like mydomain.com to xyz.techstuff.net with their records. 
Perhaps something like that is causing the redirection, rather than any 
entries on the server itself?


I expect other companies provide the same services as ZoneEdit

Have you used an HTTP protocol analyzer to see if the server is in
fact redirecting the client?

 I could be way off-base here (it wouldn't be the first time!), but:

 It could also be that your browser thinks it's smarter than you are. I've
 seen browsers apparently redirect themselves (without any redirect having
 been set up) to variations on a URL, and/or to whatever is set as their
 default search engine, but so far as I know, that usually only happens if
 the browser can't resolve the URL as entered, or if the user didn't
 explicitly type the protocol prefix on the URL.

By the way, the setting name in Mozilla Firefox is
browser.fixup.alternate.enabled
I usually explicitly change this and keyword.enabled settings to the
value of false.

http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/domain-guessing.html
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.enabled


 Does it happen with other browsers? Does it happen if you try it from
 someplace with a completely different web connection? Have you tried
 explicitly typing the http:// or the https:// at the beginning of the URL?

redirection of www.xyz.com/xyz to https://xyz.com/xyz.html is not happening in httpd.conf

[Dhaval Jaiswal]

i have tried through Redirect option to redirect specific page to one *.html

Even i have tried through Rewriterule.

Any other efficient way will be helpful to me.

xinetd port redirection for Tomcat

[Pierre Goupil]

Good evening,

I use xinetd in order to bind my Tomcat 7.0.22 instance to port 80 without
any Unix privileges, on a Debian 6.0 box. Here's the (slightly obfuscated)
configuration file:

service www
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
user= root
wait= no
bind= my IP
port= 80
redirect= localhost 8080
disable = no
flags   = REUSE
log_type= FILEmy.log
log_on_success  -= PID HOST DURATION EXIT

per_source  = UNLIMITED
instances   = UNLIMITED
}

It works generally great but there's one problem: in my logs, only the
localhost IP appears! I mean, in PsiProbe for instance, when I try and see
the IPs of my visitors, I can only find localhost. Which is bad, regarding
traffic statistics...

Does any one have a clue? Shall I use another way of binding Tomcat to port
80? Which one? This way looked good as it's really simple to set up, but if
I must use something else, I don't care. Please note, I'd prefer stick to
xinetd, though.

Regards,

Pierre

 Shall I use another way of binding Tomcat to port 80?

Try iptables - it's even simpler.  Something like the following should work:

/sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

Set your Tomcat Connector port to 8080; external requests coming into port 80 
will be automatically redirected to 8080.  Make sure your Linux firewall has 
8080 open.

Yeah, actually I gave a simplified example configuration in order to show proxy 
mappings.
We have many other reasons to keep apache httpd as front-end here.
I've suggested a system administrator about deploying app to ROOT as a 
workaround, but they are not willing to do that for some reasons.

Anyway, if there's no way to customize redirection behavior after JAAS login, 
then I probably need to find a more controllable solution instead of using 
Tomcat's JAAS login feature. (Spring Security seems a good alternative which is 
filter based.)

Thanks anyway,

redirection error due to context path after JAAS authentication with mod_proxy

[Woonsan Ko]

Hi,

I have a reverse proxy configuration like this:

VirtualHost *:80 
  ServerName localhost 
  ProxyPreserveHost On 
  ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/app1/ 
  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/app1/ 
  ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /app1 / 
/VirtualHost

And, I have a form-based login configuration for JAAS authentication.
When I try log on, the redirect location (the secured resource path) after 
/j_security_check seems to be prepended by the context path, '/app1'. (e.g. 
Location: http://localhost/app1/login/resource, instead of 
http://localhost/login/resource)
I guess there will be other solutions with more sophisticated configuration for 
mod_proxy by adding more external server addresses. 
However, I'd like to avoid that if possible because the external addresses can 
be changed/added at any time.

Is there any way to customize the redirection after authentication (e.g. by 
using absolute url generation with a custom component) ?

Regards,

Woonsan

The debian/ubuntu deb package installs tomcat6 so that it uses authbind 
to listen on ports  1024, and it runs under its own non-root uid/gid. I 
was very impressed when I converted from tomcat5 as a vanilla install to 
tomcat6 as a deb.


Even if you are not on debian, perhaps looking at the installation 
script and file structure will help you set up something similar.

how to set auto redirection in tomcat

[James Godrej]

I have a site http://social.openitup.in
right now what you are seeing is a default Tomcat6 page.
I am using mod_ajp as a front end and Apache vhost configuration for same is 

VirtualHost *:80 

ServerName social.openitup.in
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

ProxyRequests off
Proxy *
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
/Proxy
ProxyPreserveHost On

ProxyPass / ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/


/VirtualHost




How ever I have an application running on it 
http://social.openitup.in/olat
what I want to do is when some one opens 
http://social.openitup.in
then rather than seeing Tomcat6 home page from
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/index.html
the person is  redirected to olat application which is in 
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/olat
how can this be achived?

Did you name it ROOT, or did you name it root (or Root or rOOt

You might have to restart Tomcat after doing that.

Using ROOT as the webapp name definitely works. People do it all the

See Michel's response for redirection. If you want IP - hostname
switching, set up a rule that looks for a non-preferred Host header
and issues a redirect.

 Subject: Tomcat url redirection

 I want http://events.mydomain.xxx/ to
 go to http://events.mydomain.xxx/myapp.

Then name your webapp ROOT (case sensitive, even on Windows), not myapp, just 
as the Tomcat doc says to do.

 Moreover whenever i type the Public
 IP address (http://xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa) instead of
 events.mydomain.xxx should also redirect to
 http://events.mydomain.xxx/myapp.

That will happen automatically if events.mydomain.xxx and xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa both 
map to an IP address on the server on which Tomcat runs, *and* you have Tomcat 
listening on address 0.0.0.0 (the default), *and* you rename your app to ROOT, 
as noted above.

No rewrite filters are required if you set things up properly.

Hi, guys:

I am using the Tomcat 5.0.28.0, and I put the my website into webapps 
directory.


The welcome-file-list section likes this:

welcome-file-list
   welcome-fileindex.jsp/welcome-file
/welcome-file-list

In the index.jsp, I use the jsp:forward tag to forward the request to
a struts action:
jsp:forward page=welcome.do/

When I input http://localhost:8080/mysite; into the address bar of
firefox and hit go button, the browser shows the correct page but the
url in address bar changed to
http://localhost:8080/mysite/welcome.do;

I find that the tomcat returns a 302 redirection and then the tomcat
returns the page generated by welcome.do action

So what can we do to aviod the 302 redirection and let the address bar
just show http://localhost:8080/mysite;.



What Pid said:  Later versions than 5.0.x do an internal forward to the 
welcome-file, so the browser doesn't get to see the actual path to the 
welcome-file.  There are a couple of other sordid hacks using 
servlet-mapping that I'll admit to using on currently unsupported versions 
of Tomcat.

Well actually, tomcat6.exe does - it's just another JVM launcher.  You can use 
that in lieu of the scripts.  Running the .exe directly does require that the 
service be previously installed.

tomcat.exe 6.0.18 to 6.0.26 stdout/stderr redirection

[Bulkan]

Hi All,

Before we upgraded from Tomcat 6.0.18 to 6.0.26 I was able to redirect
stdout/stderr of tomcat.exe using the following Python code;

 from subprocess import Popen
 logfile = open('tomcat.log', 'w')
 p = Popen(r'C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
6.0\bin\tomcat6.exe', shell=True, stdout=logfile, stderr=logfile)

but with 6.0.26, the above code fails to redirect the output to tomcat.log,
all of the output goes to the console (cmd.exe).

Has something changed in 6.0.26 (Windows) that would effect this behaviour ?

Cheers

Re: tomcat.exe 6.0.18 to 6.0.26 stdout/stderr redirection

If you're running as a service, why don't you make use of --StdOutput and 
--StdError as documented here:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html

Also, if you're running as a service, the Tomcat Monitor allows you to change 
this at any point. There's a tab called Logging that allows you to set a bunch 
of parameters.

The Tomcat Startup Page is now being served, but not the actual springapp

Melanie,

backing up a little bit..

According to your various posts, originally, you have, on the same host :

- an Apache httpd, answering on http://www.robotronics.org (port 80), 
which serves html and javascript documents
- a Tomcat engine and an application in it, answering on 
http://www.robotronics.org:9080/Robotronics (thus port 9080, and a URI 
/Robotronics), but this application is located in the directory 
/usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/springapp.


and you would apparently like that everything would answer to the URL
http://www.robotronics.org (port 80).

That is feasible, but the above is composed of several parts, and there 
are several ways to configure the individual parts.
So you have to be a bit systematic in the approach, and do one thing at 
a time.


A couple of questions to answer first are :
1) do you want to leave the html and javascript part under the Apache 
httpd server, or not ?
2) do you need this Apache httpd server for other things, apart from 
this specific case ?


The reason for these questions is that the easiest and simplest setup 
would be

- to move the html and javascript part onto the Tomcat server
- to eliminate the Apache httpd server
- to change the Tomcat server so that it responds to port 80 instead of 
port 9080
- to change the Tomcat configuration so that your webapp application 
becomes the default application of Tomcat, and thus answers to the URL

http://www.robotronics.org, without the /Robotronics prefix.

But, this simple setup would not be the right one if you want to keep 
the front-end Apache httpd, because for example you need it for other 
things (other virtual sites, other applications, etc..).
In that case, we would then recommend some form of proxying between 
Apache httpd and Tomcat.  And there are several possibilities there too.

Which is why I mention the need to take this one bit at a time..

Re: Question on Linux Tomcat Apache Server and Port Redirection for a robotics site

[Cyrille Le Clerc]

   Hello Melanie,

   I share André's vision :

#1 To get the root context http://www.robotronics.org/ forwarded to
Tomcat, the easiest way is to declare your java application as the
root context of your Tomcat (either naming it ROOT.war or declaring it
with path= in server.xml according to your deployment method).

#1.1 If you cannot rename your tomcat app to serve Tomcat's root
context, look at context rewriting ; it would look like :

ProxyPass / http://my-tomcat:9080/Robotronics
ProxyPassReverse /Robotronics http://www.robotronics.org/


#2 You can mix the approach #1 to serve most of the
http://www.robotronics.org/ content including the root context with
Tomcat with serving sub parts of the web site directly from Apache
Httpd or from other servers.

ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /handle/in/httpd/rather/than/in/tomcat !
ProxyPass / http://my-tomcat:9080/

#3 Some people are afraid about performance cost of serving static
content from Tomcat rather than from Apache Httpd. For such problems,
I feel the solution resides more in the usage of standard HTTP caching
header Expires and Cache-Control combined with mod_expires and
mod_disk_cache rather than in copying static resources on Apache
Httpd.

#4 I slightly disagree with André on asking Tomcat to listen on port
80 ; I am very reluctant to this approach as it requires to run the
JVM as root ; I prefer the iptables approach (well described in the in
the rimuhosting doc you referred - 1).

Hope this helps,

Cyrille

No, it does not, if you run the JVM under jsvc (commons-daemon).
This is how most Linux packages nowadays set it up by default.

But of course, you cannot run 2 servers at the same time listening on 
the same port. So if you want to have Tomcat handle port 80, then you 
cannot have Apache httpd listening to that same port at the same time.

Question on Linux Tomcat Apache Server and Port Redirection for a robotics site

 Hello,

 This question requires knowledge of Linux Apache Tomcat Server.

 I have a website with domain name for instance: www.robotronics.org
 However this site is only for HTML and Javascript.

 I have a Java J2EE site on the same domain name but you can't get to it
 unless you type the port:
 http://www.robotronics.org:9080/Robotronics

 How can I get the domain name www.robotronics.org to point to the Java
 J2EE site without having to type in the port 9080 and the directory
 Robotronics?

 I found one site that gives some ideas on how to do it --
 http://rimuhosting.com/mod_jk2_and_mod_proxy_ajp.jsp#mod_proxy

 I tried to follow the instructions and could not get this to work.

I am compiling mod_jk source code on the server. The command to compile is

Re: Question on Linux Tomcat Apache Server and Port Redirection for a robotics site

[Melanie]

Thanks Cyrille for the information. This looks like it's a quick fix but
there is still another issue.

The Tomcat Startup Page is now being served, but not the actual springapp
J2EE web application that is located in the Tomcat directory ---
/usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/springapp

Do you know the way to bring up the actual J2EE webpage instead of the
Tomcat Startup Page when the URL
http://www.robotronics.org is served by Apache and Tomcat?

No, I'm not French. The Google translations is rough.

Thank you,

 Hello Melanie,

 I personally prefer to use HTTP between Apache and Tomcat rather than

 According to your description, I feel you can simply achive your need
 with the following httpd.conf configuration (no other binaries than
 out-of-the-box Apache Httpd needed) :

 -- begin httpd.conf sample fragment --

 # load proxy and proxy_http modules
 LoadModule proxy_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy.so
 LoadModule proxy_http_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_http.so

 # route all traffic to Tomcat

help on tomcat 5.0 log (stdout) setup or redirection

[Xiaohao Jiang]

Hi there,

I am really new to tomcat basic configuration. I am using a tomcat 5.0,
coming with a digital object repository. It uses the command line to start
the server (tomcat and the application). Anyway, my problem is that I can
only see the tomcat log on the console, but i don't have it in any file.
However, sometimes the application throws a serial of exceptions and I
cannot get those scrolled away in the console.

What I want is to have the log information stored in a file. I tried
something like startup.bat  C:\log.txt, but the tomcat window just pops up
and output logs in console.

anybody can help?

Many thanks,
Hao

Hi,

i think, the best way is to use the mod_jk module. So, in a firewall 
environment, you can have your web server (Apache) in the non-protected area 
and apache will redirect all requests (http:// :80 or nothing) at your 
Tomcat server (http:// :8080) within the protected one. 
Take a look at the connectors documentation

Additional versatility is worthless if not needed; from a security perspective 
it merely provides more opportunities for abuse.

Evidence, please?  Just because httpd has been around longer does not 
necessarily mean it is more secure.  Besides, since the previously suggested 
arrangement was to forward all requests to Tomcat, httpd security is of no 
interest.

 (assuming you do not use a WAF firewall)

If you're not using a firewall, you're simply asking for trouble.

 Furthermore you can add more Tomcats and balance when needed

Performance was not a topic of discussion; even if it were, there are much 
superior load balancers available (although they do have a cost).

 on unix if you do not use jsvc or iptable you need to run 
 tomcat as root for port 80 which is not a good idea

No one ever suggested running Tomcat as root.

Indeed the topic of this discussion is not to have 8080 as the main port of 
Tomcat.
I've just emitted one solution among many others: mod_jk. 
Some of my customers have opted for this one because of the simplicity of 
writing url, of performance (load-balancing), 
of security too (No-using 80 port for Tomcat was a security directive in some 
cases)

Hi Melanie.
Since by now, after all these ponderous answers, you might be pretty 
confused as to what to do, let me restart from the beginning.


First, you can configure Tomcat to accept requests on port 80, instead 
of, or in addition to, port 8080.
That is easy, and you would do it in principle by changing in the 
server.xml file, the existing Connector ... port=8080 to Connector 
... port=80.  That's almost it.
The only catch is that in order for this to work, this Tomcat would need 
to run as user root, because only user root can run a process that opens 
a listening port = 1024.


If this Tomcat cannot run as root, then there is a workaround : you can 
use something called jsvc, which is like a wrapper process which 
starts as root, opens port 80 for Tomcat, then runs Tomcat as a non-root 
user.  That allows Tomcat to run as a non-root user, and to still listen 
on port 80.


If none of the above is possible, then you could indeed run an Apache 
httpd in front of your Tomcat.  The Apache httpd (maybe one that is 
there already), can accept requests on port 80, look at the request, 
determine that it is one that Tomcat should handle, and pass it to the 
back-end Tomcat on another port.  This can be done in several ways :


1) the front-end Apache httpd, which listens on port 80, can just act as 
a HTTP proxy, and pass the appropriate requests to the back-end Tomcat 
on the Tomcat HTTP port 8080.
2) the front-end Apache can act as an AJP proxy, and pass requests to 
Tomcat using the AJP protocol.  This requires adding another Connector 
to Tomcat, to listen for requests that use that protocol.

There are 2 sub-cases of this :
2a) using (at the Apache httpd level), a module called mod_proxy_ajp
2b) using (at the Apache httpd level), a module called mod_jk
(In both cases, you can choose the port Tomcat uses to listen for that)

If none of the above is possible or practical, then there are still 
other solutions, using other methods in software/hardware.


Roughly, the above is in order of increasing complexity.

The issue here is not to find a solution (there are many), but to find 
the solution that is the easiest and best-adapted to your problem.


Your initial post above is not very clear as to why you need this.
Tell us a bit more about your real problem and we could probably do 
better at recommending an appropriate solution to you.

 fewer vulnerabilities than just Tomcat.

 I'd also be very interested to see the evidence (either way) on that.

See, I believe in the statement that the more components you're adding
to an environment, the more possibilities there are for a
security-hole. However, to believe is not to know...

However, when I check full-disclosure and other security-lists, I see
few issues referring to Tomcat, but I see quite some issues referring
to HTTPD and it's modules.

I guess if you're once able to break HTTPD and found your way into the
box, harm is on it's way. I further /believe/ that from this point it
makes sense to use as few components as possible.

Anyhow, that's what I believe, not what I know.

Cheers
