Using the ant deploy task doesn't appear to do exactly the same thing as using "Upload a WAR file to install" via the manager application. I was assuming this was true, because I wasn't sure I could trust how I was using the ant task yet **. The ant task will look inside your META-INF folder for a "context.xml" file, and (in TC 4.1) install that context into server.xml. However, directly using the manager application doesn't do that. I think that means that the default context was being used for my application, rather than the one in context.xml. Somehow, that was causing my SQLException to not get logged at all. BTW, the SQLException I was looking for was "Server connection failure during transaction," which appears to have been caused by using an older version of the MySQL Connector/J component (3.0.4) with a newer version of the MySQL server (4.1.7).

** If you ever get this error: "java.net.UnknownHostException: C", you're probably passing a war file with an absolute path something like "C:\...\warfile.war". There may be some way to make the passed file relative, but the way I found to get around this is to change "file://" to "file:///".

Hi,
I'm trying to track down an odd Realm authentication problem, but I can't seem to get anything to show up in any of the logs. My application (henceforth referred to as "myapp") deploys successfully via war file with the manager application. When I try to access those portions of the application under security constraints, I am presented with an HTTP BASIC authentication dialog. However, the dialog keeps popping up, even though I "know" I'm using the correct username and password. I "know" this, because I've compared the SHA digest in the database against one generated from the password. Take that for what it's worth... ;-)
What's really bugging me is that _NOTHING_ gets logged as to why the authentication failed. One interesting thing I'm seeing, is that even though I've defined a <Logger> in my <Context> (see below), this log file isn't showing up. I get "catalina.out" and "localhost_log.date.txt," but nothing else. In localhost_log, I do see this line, so I have to assume that something is happening:
2005-01-12 16:35:00 ContextConfig[/myapp]: Configured an authenticator for method BASIC
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, as I'm about out of ideas.
Versions:
---------------
Tomcat: 4.1.31
Red Hat 9.0 (yes, I have this as part of the TC start: export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1)
Sun JVM: 1.5
I have made the following additions to server.xml for my two JDBC datasources:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Resource name="jdbc/db_devel" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/db_devel">
...
(Yes, this information is correct. It has been tested and double-checked.)
</ResourceParams>
<Resource name="jdbc/db_stats" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/db_stats">
...
(Yes, this information is correct)
</ResourceParams>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My application's context.xml file: ----------------------------------------------------- <Context debug="4" reloadable="false" swallowOutput="true" crossContext="false">
<Logger
verbosity="4"
className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="pcs_log."
suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"
/>
<!-- Naming indirection, to let application use generalized names for lookup. -->
<ResourceLink name="db_default" global="jdbc/db_devel" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
<ResourceLink name="db_stats" global="jdbc/db_stats" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <Realm
resourceName="Application Secure Realm"
className="org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm"
dataSourceName="jdbc/db_devel"
userTable="employee"
userNameCol="login"
userCredCol="password"
userRoleTable="employee"
roleNameCol="role"
digest="SHA"
/>
</Context>
Interesting bits from my applicaton's web.xml: ---------------------------------------------- <resource-ref> <description>DB Connection</description> <res-ref-name>db_default</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> <resource-ref> <description>DB Connection for statistics only</description> <res-ref-name>db_stats</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> ... <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>Admin</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/admin/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>super</role-name> <role-name>administrator</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> ... <login-config> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> <realm-name>Application Secure Realm</realm-name> </login-config> ... <security-role> <role-name>super</role-name> </security-role> <security-role> <role-name>administrator</role-name> </security-role> <security-role> <role-name>user</role-name> </security-role> <security-role> <role-name>stats</role-name> </security-role> ----------------------------------------------
Does anyone have any ideas, or perhaps see something obvious that I'm missing?
Thanks,
