Session problems in tomcat 5.0.28

Even I shutdown the tomcat 5.0.28 server the session variable is still existing and it is showing the old values. What I have to do to disable the old values? Is it the problem with tomcat 5.0.28 or with JSP coding!

Tomcat serializes sessions to the hard drive when it shutsdown. If you don't want this you have three choices:
1: you can disable this functionality in the server.xml. Check the documentation.
2: you could just delete the session.ser file when you shut down tomcat. This file is under work/standalone/{webapp name}
3: you could close and re-open the browser so that the old jsessionid will not be sent and a new session will be created. The old session will eventually time out.
The third option is probably the easiest.

Session problem using tomcat 3.3.1

Hi all,
Does tomcat support session.?.
I came to know that, tomcat is not supporting session, actually, it kills the session variables when redirecting the response to other page..
Is it so?..
please confirm me..
In my application we are using session variable to store the user access rights, and validating in all jsp pages. we are using resin 1.2.5 as servlet container. It is working fine.
we have an approach to port our application to tomcat instead of resin.
Now, while porting the session variables not retreived in the jsp pages.
I am struggling with this issue for the past one month, so please confirm me regarding tomcat supports session or not.--
Thanks and regards,
Murugan

hi
Well, in my application, i have session variables, and it is working
fine. Except in one jsp page where each time I submit, a new made
Vector disappears.
But the others session attributes are still there (rights, user,
etc ...).

Problem of Tomcat 4.0

I'm using Linux with Tomcat 4.0. I found that the counter of session has something wrong. The time counter is not reset when the user access the session.
I try to use Tomcat 3.2.3 and my programs work fine. Is this the problem of Tomcat 4.0 ? anyone have the same problem ?
plse, help.

I'm using Tomcat 4.0 and Linux.
I have a problem about the session.
timeout = 600;
session.setMaxInactiveInterval(timeout);
...When the user active the session, the "timeout" should be reset to 600. In fact, the session is still die even the user active the session.
And this problem does not occurred in Tomcat 3.2.3.
I guess is the bug of Tomcat 4.0.
Is anyone use Tomcat 4.0 and Linux. Can anyone help me to check the timer of session is correct or not ?
Thank you !
Tomcat 3.2.3 is ok.
The problem occurred in Tomcat 4.0.1 and 4.0.2.
Please help !

Java Session problem while sending mail(using javamail) using Pl/SQL

Session problem in jsp application

I face a session problem. I setting everything in a session and when pass back to a main page, the value is not display in the screen. But after refresh the value will display in the screen and this kind of problem only come out very few time and i dun knw how to solve this...
Anyone here can give me some idea and suggestion or the way to solve this kind of problem!!!

define "2 different clients"
1) You have 2 different PCs and it's using the same session ID for both? I doubt this. I think the server is advanced enough not to use give a session ID that's already been created.
2) You have 1 PC and are using IE or Netscape and using File > New Window to open a new window and connect again. This you can't fix without using only URL rewriting to manage session, because the different windows will share the same session cookies.

Problems with Tomcat & Eclipse on MacOSX

Hi everybody. I have a problem with Tomcat and Eclipse. I must make an application with JSF for my dissertation and i even become a new Mac user so i have some problems. I have installed Eclipse 3,3 Europe on Mac OSX 10,4, also I have installed Tomcat 5,5 setting up environment variable and users of Tomcat. Well, when I try to connect them creating a new server in Eclipse and select Tomcat as server and relative folder of origin, the problems begin. When I try to run on server a JSF project(naturally I have imported all the necessary libraries) it give this error to me: Could not load the Tomcat incomplete serveur configuration at /Servers/Tomcat v5.5 serveur at localhost-config.The configurator mau be corrupt or. Reason: Could not load the Tomcat incomplete serveur configuration at /Servers/Tomcat v5.5 serveur at localhost-config.The configurator mau be corrupt or incomplete. On what it can depend? It is possible that is a JRE problem? I do not find the folder jre on my file system(are novice with the mac). Thanks to all.

This seems like a question that would be better put to an Eclipse forum.

Hi all,
I have a problem in tomcat.
I have a Bank a folder in Webapp .
When i hit url
http://localhost:8080/bank/index.jsp
then index page displays.
When i coped and pasted the Bank folder and renamed it as Bank1 .then when i hit url
http://localhost:8080/bank1/index.jsp
I m getting this error .Even though i have made entry in the server.xml.Restarted the server but no luck.
type Status report
message /Bank1/index.jsp

looks like t is a java.lang.Throwable and pageContext.handlePageException is expecting a java.lang.Exception
try
pageContext.handlePageException(new Exception("myException", t));

Problems disabling restart session persistence in Tomcat

I'm running Tomcat 5.5.17. I've been working on an application for quite some time when the tomcat logs suddenly started to fill up with the following errors each time I restart Tomcat:
2006-09-29 21:15:10,539 | WARN | StandardSession.java | writeObject() | 1468 | Cannot serialize session attribute publicPictures for session 9184A48FEFC99FAA3573A4DE1F75CCD5
I've searched the web, and found out that the reason for this is that Tomcats "Restart Session Persistence" is turned on. So how do I turn that off?
According to a few sites in the web there should be a file called application.xml, in which I can put the line <Manager pathname=""/> to disable the Session Persistence manager. The problem is that on my Tomcat installation there's no such file.
So I tried to create the file $CATALINA_HOME/conf/application.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN'
'http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd'>
<application>
<Manager pathname=""/>
</application>But this had no effect at all. So can someone please explain to me how I can disable the Session Persistence manager?

I had a similar problem in that during restarts sometimes I would get messages about null pointer exceptions which seemed to be related to attempted session persistence. I never paid a lot of attention but eventually decided to do something about it, i.e disable session persistence, since the errors seemed to slowdown restarts.
Based on this:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/manager.html
I added a Manager element to my main Context element, using the standard manager class and setting the pathname attribute to an empty string:
<Context path="/" debug="1" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
<Manager class="org.apache.catalina.session.StandardManager" pathname="" />
</Context>
Since the errors I was getting were sporadic anyway I cannot definitively say this fixed it but I have not seen any errors since making the change and shutdowns seem to go faster now.

JSF & Tomcat 5 session problems

I am implemeting a web application using JSF and tomcat authentication. The problem is that tomcat is losing the session when I hit refresh on any of the pages which are marked as havign a security constraint.
e.g. you go to index.html -> takes you to login.jsp (as you need to log in first), you log in successfuly and go to index.html, you hit refresh and get taken back to login.jsp.
Any help would be much appreciated.
If anyone has implementign an app using tomcat authentication and jsf, I would be grateful if they could tell me how they are managing to overcome this issue.

I have a similar question, but not about session timeout, but managing the data within your session. In our previous homegrown JSP Model 2 Framework, we had various methods in place to cleanup the session for a page (essentially allowing you to cleanup the managed beans after you were done with a page). Due to constant activity, the sessions never timeout, but there is "dead" data in the session. How would you do this in JSF? For example, lets say you go through a wizard set of screens, where once complete, you don't want the managed beans to exist in the session anymore. Where would you tap into the JSF lifecycle to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Tomcat and JavaMail Sessions problem

I'm using Tomcat (with struts). I've configured my web application in server.xml to manage JavaMail Sessions:
          <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container" type="javax.mail.Session"/>
          <ResourceParams name="mail/Session">
               <parameter>
                    <name>mail.smtp.host</name>
                    <value>gandalf</value>
               </parameter>
          </ResourceParams>
Also, I've configured my web application deployment descriptor (web.xml) to use this resource:
<resource-ref>
     <description>JavaMail Resource</description>
     <res-ref-name>mail/Session</res-ref-name>
     <res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
     <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
Now in the Java code I try to get the JavaMail session in this way:
private Context devuelveContexto() throws javax.naming.NamingException
initContext = new InitialContext();
return (Context) initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
public javax.mail.Session devuelveSesionMail()
throws javax.naming.NamingException
Context envContext = devuelveContexto();
javax.mail.Session mailSesion = (javax.mail.Session) envContext.lookup("mail/Session"); <--- this throws an exception
I'm doing all like is explained in Tomcat help web page 'JNDI Resources HOW-TO' but it doesn' work for me.
The exception raised is this:
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.mail.Session
     at com.aplicacionesweb.evaluaciones.ddbb.CargadorRecursos.devuelveSesionMail(CargadorRecursos.java:76)

Please help.

Problem solved. I had 'mail.jar' and 'activation.jar' in 'WEB-INF/lib' directory, causing a classes conflict.

This question has asked a lot in different forums. I had same problen, when I compiled RunUSBControllerTest. I got I/O Exception: USB Host support is unavailable. I think I resolve this problem: I think that jusb.dll has compiled in older java version and depends on version. I had Java 1.4.2_05 and it dosen't worked out. I remove it and install java 1.4.1_03. Now the RunUSBControllerTest works fine. I hope this is the answer.

Session problem in one out of two jsp

Dear java guru's
I have got jsp page A.jsp.User select few option and this jsp calls
B.servlet this takes user input and pass to
C.bean which returns vector to B.servlet
This servlet put vector in session and dispatch to new jsp
D.jsp which calls
E.jsp in it for Image generation.
This E.jsp retrieve vector from session and generate a image and reurn to D.jsp
Now my problem is that session in B.servlet and D.jsp are same but a new session in created in E.jsp so image is null as it could get data from vector which is null.
I put System.out.println(session.getId()) in each servlet and jsp so to get thier ID's.
This is working fine in my system with Tomcat 3.2 but on web the new session is created for E.jsp
I am calling E.jsp like this
<img src=<%=response.encodeURL("/iscap/report/jspChart.jsp")%> alt="generation image" width="400" height="350" border="1">
I am making page session=true in each jsp and also puttting request.getSession(false);
but still E.jsp is getting new session.I tried eliminating each one and made all combination that could be possible but not effect.
How Can I solve this problem on the web where I have to load this?
Do I have to make setting in context .

Hi,
If you have been using jspChart v 1.00 :
As shown in the modified , attached PPT :
I will be displaying a bar chart. The length of bar chart is obatined from Sybase database. This chart should be dynamically created depending on the value on
the database and x -axis is exponential.
This will be displayed on a HTML page.
1. I want to know whether,the values can be obtained the values from Sybase database ?
If so, what are the changes.
2. can you tell me the steps to install and run the jspchart v 1.00 on Jrun or any server please.
Any thing else, I need to install like SAX , JCLARK. I am getting errors in this. PL HELP.
3. Is it possible to plot "Exponential values" in the Y-axis. like 0 - 100- 1000 - 10000 - 100000
and the length of the Bar should automaticall be coloured till that Point as shown in the Power point attached.
If not, any suggestions to use any other software.
Thanks in advance.

Session problems due to abruptly closed browser window

Hi
We have an application running which uses JSP,struts , tomcat and JMS. When the user logs in we store some values in the session which are very critical for the application to function. we have kept a logout button thru out the application. After pressing the logout button those values are cleared from the data structure we maintain at the application scope. But if the user closes the browser window then those "clearing" operations dont take place which causes critical problems.
can anybody suggest anything on this situation ?
Martin

Yes, have a session timeout value set and write a SessionListener that cleans out the cache whenever a session is invalidated.

(Urgent!) Session recovery in tomcat

Good morning,
I'm a java developer working on a system that sells insurance online. We recently been lumbered with implementing the (UK's) new 3Dsecure credit card authorisation system, which basically introduces an additional security phase in processing credit cards transactions.
We currently process credit cards via an XML exchange with a payment server, the current process does not redirect the customer away from our site, and we've never had any trouble with this. NOW we MUST redirect the customer to their bank's website for authorisation, and then the bank sends the customer back after checking. However, when the user is sent back to us, they have 'lost' their session in our application, which ruins their chances of then completing the purchase process.
The session is still in tomcats memory (as far as we can tell), but the user has a new sessionID, and we cannot for the life of us revert them to their old session. We've tried including ;jsessionid=XYZ in the URLs, where XYZ is the old sessionid, we've scoured the HttpServletRequest API for a 'getSession(String id)' method, we've even tried copying the session to the Application scope and then trying to pull it back down upon customers return; but we just cannot get this.
The 3Dsecure deadline is looming, and the only problem we have is with these session persistances Does anyone have any help/advise for us? I'm more than willing to answer additional questions! Cheers.

Maybe here.
