Easy Question: Tomcat and SSI

How do you get SSI to work with Tomcat?
I just installed Tomcat 4.0.1 on Win2K and wrote a MyHelloWorld servlet. I made an entry in the web.xml and the servlet is served up just fine when I load directly http://localhost/servlet/MyHelloWorld
I tried to load the servlet as an SSI by putting <servlet name=MyHelloWorld></servlet> in an HTML file. The web page loads but the servlet's output is not included.
Shouldn't it work this way? Do I need to configure something?
Thx a million.

It appears that <servlet>...</servlet> tag is no longer supported by Tomcat. So instead I had it embedded in a jsp page, which works fine.

Question about blazeds turnkey, tomcat and directory structure

hi. this question is pretty basic...been reading sujit reddy g's blog on installing/setting up blazeds.
in one article he creates a samplewebapps directory in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\samplewebapps and copies the blazeds WEB-INF/lib into that directory and the configuration files in the flex folder across as well...http://sujitreddyg.wordpress.com/2009/04/07/setting-up-blazeds/
in another article on invoking java methods from flex he configures the remote-config.xml file directly in the blazeds\WEB-INF\flex folder....http://sujitreddyg.wordpress.com/2008/01/14/invoking-java-methods-from-adobe-fle x/
wasn't sure why in the first example he copied the files and folders to the samplewebapps directory while in the second example he just configured the files within the blazeds directory...thanx...(i'm a newbie at server side development)

I'll take a stab at it. The key thing to realize is the BlazeDS code is ADDED on
to the appserver. E.g. for Tomcat/WebLogic/et al one adds the reference in the web.xml file in WEB-INF.
So, what is that add-on?
1. Executable files. These are jar files and typically stuck into WEB-INF/lib
2. Configuration files. flex/services-config.xml is specified in web.xml. It refers to the other config files in WEB-INF/flex
So, the config in web.xml tells Tomcat (and its forked commercial products) to load up the Flex jars and run some classes. By standard, the "run some classes" follows the servlet lifecycle and runs specific methods in the class when the servlet is loaded, called, destroyed. So, Flex jars have a class which implements the servlet interface.
Incidentally, you may also see references to log4j, Spring, and other frameworks in the web.xml as well. They do the same sort of stuff. So, Tomcat does the passing of the HTTP packets and stages them into Java classes and the hooked in frameworks do add their own behaviours to the setup.
HTH,
TimJowers
P.S> Also note in Flex when you setup the project properties for a Flex Project then you need to match up your URL and "context" to what you have on your server. In his exampe, the "samples" context may have already been setup so easier to use. What is a "context"? The idea is to have more than one webapp running on an appserver. In Tomcat, its basically just the subdirectory under "webapps". That directory name becomes part of the URL. E.g. webapps/samples -> http://localhost:8080/samples or webapps/mytest -> http://localhost:8080/mytest

Easy question I'm sure. imac hard full (500gb) mostly from iphoto. no capacity left. what are my options? I've thought of an external drive of 1tb and then a 2nd external drive of 3tb to back up both???? please help.

Those are the options - more space is more space.
Moving the iPhoto Library is simple:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I kno...

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I know almost nothing about this stuff so go easy on me . All I need to do is find out if my DHCP is enabled. I'm having problems with my Xbox 360 and one of the possible problems is this DHCP thing. However I have no idea how to find the settings for my router on my computer. If it helps I have a Wirless model BEFW11S4. Thanks in advance for any help.

You need to access your router to check if the DHCP is on. To access the router open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 into the address field and hit enter. That should open the routers log on screen and by default the user is left blank (some routers it is admin) and the password is abmin. If you changed your routers password as you should for security reasons then use that password. That will bring you to your routers user interface and on the main set up page should be your DHCP.

Tomcat and localhost

Greetings,
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum.
This one is a fairly easy one, I'm quite sure.
I'm a newbie and I just setted up Tomcat and Apache with a jk connector. I want to create a test-server before I'm going live on the "real" server.
My question is : Can I show or view my test server from a distant computer ?
Is something like : http:\\my_local_address\examples\index.html possible ?
Or do I have do own a www address ? I'm quite confused ... thanks for your time. Everything works fine on my localhost ...

You're likely to have a provider-assigned IP-address through DHCP and you're behind your provider's proxy.
You can't reach your computer directly from outside unless you set up some kind of VPN, or you subscribed to a dynamic DNS service.

I forgot my Apple ID security question answers and cannot contact iTunes support by phone. The only way I can ask for help is via email. How can I make that happen?             Thanks

Hi! So I haven't used iTunes in a few months but I just got an iTunes gift card and want to make a purchase. iTunes redeemed it just fine but now that I want to make a purchase I am having problems. I can't remember my security question answers and iTunes is requesting them. I have two other verified emails but the are NOT rescue emails. I can't contact iTunes over the phone because my phone lines are out and are going to be out for a long time. The only way I can contact them is by email. How can I do this? Is there an easy way to just reset all my security questions? Please help a girl out. I just want my music!

Easy Question: Illegal Start of Expression

This is a ridiculously easy question... but I am having trouble with it...
Anyway, here is the line of code that is giving me trouble:
jButtons = {{jButton1, jButton5, jButton9, jButton13},
{jButton2, jButton6, jButton10, jButton14},
{jButton3, jButton7, jButton11, jButton15},
{jButton4, jButton8, jButton12, jButton16}};
        That's it. jButton1 through jButton16 are all jButton objects (for a GUI). jButtons is an array (4 by 4) of jButton. All are global variables, the buttons are all initilized (in fact, that was the problem I had before, and why I need to put this here: otherwise I get a null pointer exception).
Surprisingly, such a simple line of code causes TONS of errors to occur. To save space, {...} * 2 means that the exception occurs twice in a row, errors are separated by comma's.
{ Illegal Start of Expression, {Not a statement, ; required} * 2} * 4, Empty statement
A similar statement (int[] test = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6}};) works perfectly fine.
Please help, doing this will reduce the size of my code to about a third of the size of the code. And then I can laugh in the faces of those people who say that I write long, and in-efficient code! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
However, I will keep at it, and Murphy's Law states I will find a solution 10 seconds after posting. If I do, I will edit this post, and tell you guys the answer ;)
[Edit]In case you are wondering... all my other code is correct. Here is the adjacent 3 methods:

You can only initialise an array like that when you declare it at the same time. Otherwise you have to do as suggested above.
int[] numbers = {1,2,3,4}; //ok
int[] numbers;
numbers = {1,2,3,4}; // not ok

Easy question - how to increase number of recent files in menu?

This is for CS5 if it matters.
I'm an infrequent Illustrator user (at best) but I have what I hope is an easy question: I want to increase number of recent files showing in the menu.
I can't find a preferece to set such as in PS and almost every other application on the face of the earth. I've tried to reset the preferences file (start Illustrator with ctrl-alt-shift held down) but I'm stuck at 4 files, which I assume is the anemic default option.
Is there an easy way to do this that Adobe has hidded somewhere? As expected, it can't be found in the help, I can't find it on the forums, or even on the net, but I do know it can be done because I can see other installs showing lots of files in the list.
thanks for any help.

This might be because of a new feature that you can turn off for each object, and alltogether. When you create a new document at the bottom, make sure 'Align New Objects to Pixel Grid' is unchecked. After you have created a new file, you can still go into the 'TRANSFORM' palette (SHIFT+8), use the little right top menu, and make sure 'Align New Objects to Pixel Grid' is unchecked. And if you want to get fancy with each object; you can select an object, and look at the 'TRANSFORM' palette at the bottom is a place to uncheck the 'Align to Pixel Grid' at your disposall.
Before I found this, it ruined my week.

If possible, please share me more detailed steps about how to connect the
Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC in the VS2010.
In addition, could you please share me some crash error message in this VS2010 when test this connection?
To check if this issue is related to this VS IDE, I suggest you could try to connect
Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC on other machine and then check if you still get this issue.
(1) If you still get this crash issue, I assume that this issue is related to this connection
Lotus notes and SSIS ODBC.
(2) If you did not get same error message, I suggest you could try to restart your machine and then open this VS2010 as Admin on your local machine and then connect it check this issue again.
Please try to close the firewall software on some other progress from this Task Manager and then check this issue.
In addition, I suggest you could try to use this process monitor tool to check which process running when you test this connect.

Load Balancing, Tomcat, and SharePoint

I'm a new BusinessObjects customer and am working on getting all of the hardware in place for a new install. The initial plan is to have two BOE servers, and two tomcat virtual servers, with a hardware based load balancer (F5 BIG-IP Switch: Local Traffic Manager 1600 4GB, possibly) in front of the tomcat servers to handle the load balancing.
But, I'm starting to think that it would be a good idea for us to integrate directly in to our SharePoint portal using the SAP SharePoint Integration option.
So, here's my question. If we do that, then our users will get to their BusinessObjects information via SharePoint. So, SharePoint and IIS will be the web server. Will we still have a need for the Tomcat servers? Will SharePoint point to the load balancer, then to Tomcat, and finally to the BOE server, or will it go right to the BOE server, thus negating the need for the tomcat servers altogether, and also even negating the need for the load balancer? If so, can the BOE app servers themselves still be load balanced?
Hopefully this all makes sense - like I said, we're a new customer, so I don't fully understand all of what the servers are doing. I've spent several days searching the forums & the web & reading documentation and haven't come up with an answer yet, so I'm reaching out to you all & hoping somebody can clear it up for me. Thanks!!

Thank you for your input, Denis, this does help explain things. Also, thanks for pointing me to that Windows Patterns document. I hadn't seen that one - since we're starting out on 4.0, I've only been looking at documents under the 4.0 folders...
It sounds like we may want to utilize this same load balancer to balance the SharePoint traffic as well, while we're at it. Right now our SharePoint server is clustered using Microsoft Clustering, but not load balanced in any way. Or maybe we just post a link from within SharePoint to the regular old BI LaunchPad and call it a day!
So, if I understand correctly, if we utilize SharePoint, any traffic/processing that the Tomcat server would have handled would now be handled by the SharePoint server, which could potentially be significant. The actual processing of the reports, though, will still get handled by the BOE Cluster, which takes care of its own load balancing, so we'll be fine. Really the only thing the hardware load balancer does is allow the presentation layer to be load balanced - the layers beyond that get load balanced automatically via CMS. Is that all somewhat valid? In the patterns doc, there's Application Servers separate from the BOE Servers. We were just going to have two BOE servers and two Web servers. Where do the application servers fall in, and are they load balanced using the hardware piece?
If we were just concerned about High Availability, it seems like maybe we could more easily use Windows Clustering on those Tomcat servers, and avoid the hardware component altogether. Do the Web servers really get hammered that hard that we need them load balanced? It seems like the BOE servers are the ones doing the heavy resource intensive tasks and we get them load balanced without the hardware anyway, so maybe load balancing the web servers is overkill..... I'm sure a lot of this is tough to answer, I'm just trying to get a feel for it. I want us to have our best performance & be somewhat future-proofed, but don't want to buy things that I don't need to! We're probably looking at a small, 10-20 concurrent user setup for starters, and out to say 200 concurrent max once it's fully rolled out...
Thanks again!!

How do I automatically backup SQL Agent jobs and SSIS packages on the mirror daily?

I have seen this question asked before but I could not find a satisfactory answer. What is the best solution to get your SQL Agent jobs/schedules/etc. and your SSIS packages on the mirror server? Here's the details:
Server A is the principal with 2 DBs mirrored over to server B. Everything is fine and dandy, DBs are synched and all good. In Disaster Recovery testing, we need to bring up server B, which now will serve as the principal. Server A is inaccessible. Now,
we need all our jobs that are setup in server A to be in server B, ready to go, but disabled. We also need all our SSIS packages properly stored. Yes, we store our packages in the MSDB in server A.
Now, I can see a few answers coming my way.
1- Backup the MSDB to server B. When you bring server B up as principal in DR, restore the MSDB. All your jobs,schedules,steps, SSIS packages will be there. Is this possible? Can this be done on server B without rendering it incapable of serving as the principal
for the mirrored DBs? My fear with this option is that there may be information in the MSDB itself about the mirroring state of the DBs? Or is all that in the Master DB? Have you tried this?
2- Right click each job, script them out, re-create them on server B... No, thank you very much. :) I am looking for an AUTOMATED, DAILY backup of the jobs and SSIS packages. Not a manual process. Yes, we do change jobs and packages quite often and doing
the job twice on two servers is not an option.
3- Use PowerShell.. Really? Are we going back to scripting at the command prompt like that, that fast?
Since I fear option number 3 will be the only way to go, any hints on scripts you guys have used that you like that does what I need to do?
Any other options?
Any help GREATLY appreciated. :-) I can be sarcastic but I am a good guy..
Raphael
rferreira

I would go with option number 3. Once you have a script simple run it....
param([string]$serverName,[string]$outputPath)
function script-SQLJobs([string]$server,[string]$outputfile)
[reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo") | Out-Null
$srv = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server("$server")
$db = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database
$scrp = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Scripter($srv)
$scrp.Options.ScriptDrops = $FALSE
$scrp.Options.WithDependencies = $TRUE
$jobs = $srv.JobServer.get_Jobs()
$jobs=$jobs | Where-Object {$_.Name -notlike "sys*"}
foreach($job in $jobs)
$script=$job.Script()
$script >> $outputfile
"GO" >> $outputfile
---script-SQLJobs "SQLSRV12" "C:\Jobs\test.txt"

Easy Question -How to start ALUI 6.5 portal?

I am new in Aqua logic, after fixing all my database problem waiting to start ALUI 6.5 portal. My ALUI config manager link is: https://home2003.home2003.win2003mydomain.com:9090/cm/login.jsf which works fine. Also http://192.168.0.100:8282 works fine. Finally http://home2003.home2003.win2003mydomain.com:8282/imageserver/ - this link works as well.
Here is my environment: OS: W2003
APP Srv: Tomcat, Port: 8282
Database: Sqlserver 2005 Enterprise
Server IP: 192.168.0.100 or home2003
Also comepletd the following steps:
1. Lunched tomcat manager and deployed portal.war files.
2. Restarted Tomcat and found a new directory structure created like : E:\Tomcat6\work\Catalina\localhost\portal\WEB-INF\. It has folders "classes" and "lib" . "Classes" is empty.
1. what will be the URL to start the portal? I tried following ways, none of them worked:
http://home2003.home2003.win2003mydomain.com:8282/portal/server.pt/
http://myportal.home2003.home2003.win2003mydomain.com:8282/portal/server.pt/

Easy question about Reformatting

Hello all,
I am trying to reformat my HD after I have deleted Windows XP off of a partition. The reason for this is an upgrade to Vista and a larger allotment of HD space. My question is:
I am using Backup v3.1.1. (v369) and I have FULL backup files of my Home folder, and my Music folder (as backup for my backup) for all my iTunes libraries. These are located on a portable HD. Are these the correct files to have backed up in order to have my MAC the way it was before I started the process? If so, then once the reformatting is complete, how do I get it all back onto my MAC permanently? Will all my apps and tweaks work as before?
I am sure this is a simple question, however, I have never had to do this with a MAC, and I want to make sure I have all bases covered before I begin this. Any other comments or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks All!

You call this an easy question ???
Just messin with ya
Your home folder is the most important folder containing your music, documents, preferences etc. but a lot is also stored in the system folder and library folder outside your home folder, if you want to be ensured of an exact copy of your current system the best way to go at this is to clone your system partition.
The app i use for this is carbonCopyCloner

To add to this.. i've heard there is software for the mac that allows you to make adjustments to the size of your partitions without having to format the drive, i don't know the names of these products but i do know that it's very risky to use them, if you decide to use an app like that make sure you have proper backups of everything just in case it goes wrong.

Tomcat and JSP

I work as an technical support personal at NetQuantum Managed Hosting http://www.NetQuantum.com , I have been greatly helped by this message board. I have as quick question -" Tomcat 4 works fine on all the servers except one. And I have been working on this since 2 weeks. I have checked every single issue and still no luck

then there is no hope for you. Reinstall and hope that works.
If you were greatly helped before, you should know that you need to give DETAILS before someone can help you.
