Hello to all,
I downloaded Tomcat this morning, because JServ works with Servlet spec 2.0 and it
seems that you can't implement
bigger web application (many .jsp + servlet that communicate with each other) with
JServ and GNUJSP
of course after playing for a while, I wanted to run it as Apache extension, so I
started to dig (first this list archives, then the Tomcat sources).
Here are the results (half a day spent) - you can start and stop Tomcat as Apache
extension (Apache latest version)
I'm just posting them here so that I can gather some comments (please check my
questions at the end of this message)
- and somebody may find this usefull (or even add this info to some FAQ)
tested platform:
win2000 (some kind of beta - pfu :(
Apache 1.3.9 (Win32)
JServ 1.1 final - ApacheModuleJServ-1.1-1.3.9.dll (122,880 bytes)
Tomcat (Win32) - tomcat.zip (1,220,023 bytes)
my configuration files (first default installation than some
configuration changes)

last paremeter heh :)
# if you don't trust me - delete the last three lines :)

you need one more line inside apache httpd.conf - that is
include "D:\app\tomcat\etc\tomcat.conf"
now Apache starts and stops automaticaly Tomcat.
note that
1. you may want to disable the Tomcat webserver (hint server.xml)
2. you'd better stop Apache with '-k shutdown', not kill it directly, otherwise you
may have some java.exe process that blocks your ServerSockets
3. I haven't tried Apache as NT service.
now my the questions (ok - I've been here only for one day, so some (Working !) FAQ
URL will be o, if the FAQ is good enough.
the FAQ link from jakarta site wasn't working
1. is somebody going to implement the ajpv12 security handshake
(Tomcat listens for ajpv12 connections from a restricted number of (Apache) hosts +
MD5 handshaking)
- it should be fairly easy for the guys that have written this code.
2. what are the Tomcat 'special features' - for example I've heard that it does not
support encodeUrl()
3. has anybody succeded to implement shared sessions for http and https protocols.
4. any other good (better with sources and free :) implementations that support at
least Servlet 2.1 and JSP 1.0 that I can use
that's it. I hope that some of you have found some usefull info, and I hope that
somebody can answer my questions :)
