Tomcat + Apache

Hello all. I've been teaching myself java by writing a few servlets.
I am running Slackware Current.
Question 1:
I hava a question about Tomcat and Apache:
-First, I've read a lot about the whole jk_mod business
that allows Apache and Tomcat to work together.
I don't necessarily understand how it is supposed to work.
-I have a setup like this:
-Apache runs on port 80.
-Any servlet work is directed to port 8080
-What other functionality does lk-mod provide?
Question 2:
-Right now, My tomcat only runs servlets from the directory
/examples/servlet/'myservlet'
-How do I change this so they run in the base directory?
Thanks

Hello all. I've been teaching myself java by writing a few servlets.
I am running Slackware Current.I don't know what Slackware Current is. A servlet/JSP engine?
Question 1:
I hava a question about Tomcat and Apache:
-First, I've read a lot about the whole jk_mod
k_mod business
that allows Apache and Tomcat to work
to work together.
I don't necessarily understand how it is
w it is supposed to work.
-I have a setup like this:
-Apache runs on port 80.
-Any servlet work is directed to port
ected to port 8080Apache listens on port 80. The jk_mod lets you tell Apache how to redirect any URLs that involve servlets and JSPs to Tomcat, that's all. AFAIK, that's its only purpose in life.
Question 2:
-Right now, My tomcat only runs servlets from the
the directory
/examples/servlet/'myservlet'This is incorrect. I would go so far as to say that it's a terrible idea to put any of your code under the /examples context. That's not your code. Keep your stuff separate from the examples.
-How do I change this so they run in the base base directory?What you should do when you have a new Web app is create a new context under TOMCAT_HOME/webapps. A context is either a new directory, under which you put your HTML/JSPs and WEB-INF directory. You put the web.xml descriptor in WEB-INF, along with /lib and /classes directories. 3rd party JARs for your Web app (e.g., JDBC drivers) go in the WEB-INF/lib directory, and .class files (in their package structure) belong in WEB-INF/classes.
Better yet, package the whole thing in a WAR file and put that under TOMCAT_HOME/webapps.
Now your context is the name of the directory or WAR file:
http://localhost:8080/your-WAR-file-name/mappedURL
Read the Tomcat docs for "deploying your first Web app".

Error while starting Tomcat Apache and Jaguar services in AW webview server

hi,
I am facing a problem with AW webview server. I am not able to restart the Tomcat Apache and Jaguar Service after a planned server reboot activity.I am getting the below error.
"Could not start Apache Tomcat service on Local Computer. Error 1069. The service could not start due to log on failure"
The below account has been verified in the Domain controller and confirmed that the account is not Locked out or disabled.
I have AW , HDS and Webview running on the same server.
Can someone advice ...

What OS version? This might be a windows problem and not a Apache/Jaguar problem.

Tomcat, Apache, mod_webapp and reloadable

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the best spot to post this, if you know of another group that might be more helpful I'd appreciate the link...
We are currently running Apache and using mod_webapp to connect Tomcat4 to it. We are defining a few applications in mod_webapp.conf, like so:
WebAppConnection conn warp localhost:8008
WebAppDeploy appname conn /appname
Then in the server.xml we define the connector like this:
<Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConnector"
port="8008" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="true" appBase="/dirname"
acceptCount="10" debug="0"/>
The problem is that new class files are not picked up by Tomcat. There does not seem to be a good place to set the customary "reloadable=true" flag for our development application. Does anybody know how I could accomplish this with our setup?
Thanks!
-Eric

Did you create a context for the webapp in the tomcat
conf/server.xml
<Context path="/myApp" docBase="myApp"
reloadable="true" debug="0">
</Context>No, we are just using the "appBase" attribute of the Connector element in the server.xml file to reference each application. It seems to me that we should be defining a Context for each application also, though I'm not sure how we would then use those with the WarpConnector to attach to Apache.
In case it will help, here are the server.xml and mod_webapp.conf contents:
===========
server.xml
===========
<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">
<Service name="Tomcat-Apache">

I looked at the code after a jsp compiled to a servlet. The
jspService method of "EditTmpForm.jsp" is about 801 KB. But for another jsp "EditOperation.jsp", the jspService method is about 236 KB.
Both are much greater than 64 K, but why it runs okay for "EditOperation.jsp" but gives me error for "EditTmpForm.jsp"?
Furthermore, since the HTML form is long, so the HTML code itself is bigger than 64 K, how can you prevent your _jspService method so that is is shorter than 64K?
Thanks for your help!

I am working on Security scan(to avoid cross site forgery) with the CSRF approach of tomcat(apache-tomcat-6.0.32) but I am getting following issue with firefox:

I am working on Security scan(to avoid cross site forgery) with the CSRF approach of tomcat(apache-tomcat-6.0.32) but I am getting following issue with firefox:
1. Firefox is not supporting CSRF provided by tomcat in a proper way firefox creating multiple sessions.
2. Whenever any exception (like JSP exception) comes on page. Firefox redirects it to CSRFPreventionFilter and this filter creates new session.
3. Sometimes while traversing through application also CSRFPreventionFilter filter creates new session.

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

XSQL : deploy On tomcat-apache

hi Every Body
I'm Working with jdev 3.2. The Application I developed contains
some Xsql Pages. I want to deploy this application on the tomcat-
apache sever , installed on LINUX.
I added all the classes that take in charge Xsql Pages to the
classpath.
I modified the web.xml tomcat file to map the xsql pages with
the oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLServlet , by adding these lines
<servlet>
<servlet-name>xsql</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>-2147483646</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
and also the servlet mapping
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>xsql</servlet-name></servlet-mapping>
<url-pattern>*.xsql</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I modified also the httpd.conf file adding these lines:
AddType text/xsql .xsql
AddHandler jserv-servlet .xsql
BUT when I try to open an xsql page it's displayed like it's in
the jdeloper editor (the code source is displayed) without being
executed.
I don't know what to do. any suggestion.
thanks in advance
Ghassen

The installation instructions in the XSQL release note do not
mention adding lines like:
AddType text/xsql .xsql
AddHandler jserv-servlet .xsql If you remove these lines and restart, what happens? IF fact When I add these lines , what heppens is that the Xsql
Page is downloaded to my PC and Opened with Jdeveloper. If I
remove these lines The page Is Opened in the browser but with
out being executed.

How to Authenticate a J2EE application running on Tomcat & Apache with OAM

Hi All,
Can somebody point me to docs which states how to integrate a J2EE software deployed on Tomcat(AppServer) & Apache(WebServer).
I have Oracle Access Manager installed I need to enable SSO for that software.
Thanks,
RK

HI ,
Apart from the installation webgate and protection of the resource through OAM policies, you also need to modify your Java based application.
As a part of integration what OAM do is, it weill pass the user information(eg user id etc) to the Java application as the header variables. And now you have to modify this application so that it will accept the user information send by OAM, also login page if any of the application is disabled.
Also if you are going for cookie based approach, your landing jsp of java application should be capable of reading and validating obssocookie set by OAM.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,

Content-type problems while using struts+tomcat+apache+mod_jk

Hi!
Could anyone tell me how to solve the following problem.
Struts-application works under apache + mod_jk + tomcat 3.3.1. Operating system is Linux.
It's impossible to me to make tomcat to send HTTP-answers in UTF-8.
I was trying the following:
1. Set <DecodeInterceptor defaultEncoding="UTF-8" /> in server.xml
(Has no effect. Tomcat responds with Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1)
2. Insert <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8"%> into each page header.
(Works fine but when struts-application gets GET/POST-data the two-bytes national characters
are comverted into "?"-symbols)
Is there any way to make tomcat 3.3.1 to send HTTP-answers in UTF-8?

I don't know what the DecodeInterceptor does... but....
If you use number 2, you are only telling the browser what that page's output is. When you process the data, Tomcat for some reason always reads it as ISO8895-1, so you need to tell Tomcat to change it to UTF-8. You can do that by calling request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"), either in the JSP page, or if you need it in a servlet, you can do that in a filter...
It's somewhat described here how to set it up...

Servlets and Tomcat/Apache

Okay,
Tomcat 4.1 running with Apache.
Installed mod_jk, piece of cake.
JSPs run through Apache like a dream.
Tomcat examples ( jsp and servlets) run through Apache perfectly ( that is no :8080 business).
My JSP's run through Apache no problem. Works great.
My SERVLETS WILL NOT RUN THROUGH APACHE FOR ANYTHING.
My context looks like this in server.xml:
<Context path="/nuweb" docBase="/home/shared/nuweb" debug="0"
reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="nuweb" suffix=".log"
timestamp="true"/>
</Context>
Note: that I am not under <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps.
The reason is that I will, in production not be the Unix admin on the server. I will only have priviledges within my directory. I will not be able to drop war files in the webapps directory. I will not be able
to start and stop tomcat or apache ( there are 100 diffrent apache contexts on that machine and someday many of them will be going through tomcat for jsp and servlet support).
My servlets will only run if I put :8080/nuweb/servlet/HelloServlet in the URL. Take off the 8080 and I get Page not found. Not the tomcat 404 page, the Browswer 404 errror.
Here is my web.xml which lives in the WEB-INF directory of of /home/shared/nuweb
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.nu.servlet.HelloServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
In devlopment I am on a system that is very close to what the production server will look like ( Tomcat 4.1 same version of Apache, same Unix ). In development I can restart all the servers edit server.xml etc. On the production I would have to schedule that stuff. I want to be able to compile classes and drop them in the WEB-INF/classes... directory and have them run. Is that too much to ask?

Hi,
I am also facing same error.
I am not able to view my servlets via apache web server.
ie when i do "http://localhost/enlighta/logon"
I get http 404 page not found error
but when I do http://localhost:8080/enlighta/logon
all works fine
I am using apache 2 and tomcat 4.5
This is I have done:
1.I have http server running on port 80
2. appserver on port 8080
3. I have a war file enlighta.war deployed on webserevr
4. The static content like images and html page I have moved to webserver
5. The servlet context of the app on the app server is /enlighta
6. In the web.xml I have defined all the servlet maping.
the port 8009 has the connecter is running/listening.
the configuration
sever.xml on tomcat

<Connector port="8009"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" />
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"

Now I feel I am doing something wrong on defining virtual host.
Or may be something else is wrong.
I have gone thru the previous thread but I dont have mod_jk.conf file.
Please help!!!

JDBC DRIVER LINUX TOMCAT APACHE

Hello all
I am woking on APACHE + TOMCAT + RH LINUX
enviorment . I have a main page which calls another JSP on clicking to a button . That JSP makes connection with oracle 7.3.4 which is running on another machine whose enviorment is AIX 4.2 .
whenever I clicked on button it access the JSP but it could nt find the driver which is classes12.zip in
TOMCAT_HOME/lib directory and classpath is already set
Error I am getting is driver not found in case the statement is
DriverManager.registerDriver (new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
and error is Document contain no data in case I change the above statement to
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Please help ?
Thanks in Advance
Avi

Thanks for yor reply beattris
Still it didbnt work Please have a look at the code
<%
System.out.println("1");
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
System.out.println("2");
conn = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@blackadder:1521:ORCL","driver","norman");
stmt = conn.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT FILE_STATUS FROM GOLFFILES WHERE GOLFFILE_ID = (SELECT MAX(GOLFFILE_ID) FROM GOLFFILES)");
while (rs.next()) {
varIsUpdated = rs.getString(1);
rs.close();
stmt.close();
if (varIsUpdated.equals("START") && !(varIsUpdated.equals("LOADED"))) {
conn.close();
%>
Above is the code it comes to JSP and it prints 1 which is above the class.forName statement but after that it wont print 2 .. which means it is able execute this statement
One more thing do .zip files work on linux
Please see if u can help ?
Thanks

can anyone help... thanks...
sharil

hello....
here is how i do it if i use access, i just set in my server.xml as bellow....

<Context path="/pmod" docBase="pmod" debug="0" reloadable="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_pmod_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
<Ejb name="ejb/User" type="Session" home="pmod.user.UserHome" remote="pmod.user.User"/>
<Environment name="maxExemptions" type="java.lang.Integer" value="15"/>
<Parameter name="context.param.name" value="context.param.value" override="false"/>
               <Resource name="jdbc/pmodDb" auth="SERVLET" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
               <ResourceParams name="jdbc/pmodDb">
               <parameter><name>user</name><value></value></parameter>
               <parameter><name>password</name><value></value></parameter>

          <parameter><name>driverName</name><value>jdbc:odbc:pmodDb</value></parameter>
</ResourceParams>
</Context>
later i would call from my servlet as follows
InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext ();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)initCtx.lookup ("java:comp/env/jdbc/pmodDb");
conn = ds.getConnection();
then i can establish connection to my database... but now i change to oracle and my server.xml i configure as follows

<Context path="/pmod" docBase="pmod" debug="0" reloadable="true">
          <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_pmod_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
<Environment name="maxExemptions" type="java.lang.Integer" value="15"/>
<Parameter name="context.param.name" value="context.param.value" override="false"/>
          <Resource name="jdbc/pmodDb" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
          <ResourceParams name="jdbc/pmodDb">
               <parameter><name>user</name><value>pmod_owner</value></parameter>
               <parameter><name>password</name><value>pmod_owner</value></parameter>
               <parameter><name>driverClassName</name><value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value></parameter>
               <parameter><name>driverName</name><value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.9.200.2:1521:PMOD</value></parameter>
</ResourceParams>
</Context>
and i call from my servlet like before ...
InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext ();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)initCtx.lookup ("java:comp/env/jdbc/pmodDb");
conn = ds.getConnection();
the datasource would return null in other word i cannot find the database
however if i tried to establish connection directly,
String u1 = "pmod_owner";
String p1 ="pmod_owner";
String path = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.9.200.2:1521:PMOD";
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
conn = DriverManager.getConnection( path, u1, p1 );
i can talk with the database....
so if anyone out there can help me to point me where did i go wrong?
fyi: i have put a lib which contains oracle jdbc driver called classes12.zip in my c:\tomcat\common\lib\
thank you

BO4+Reverse Proxy+Tomcat+Apache 1.x

Hi,
We are trying to set up reverse proxy to route requests to our internal BO server.
The reverse proxy routes the request to our internal BO server correctly but cannot login.
Get http status 500.
Anybody got reverse proxy working with folloiwng set up.
BO4 with bundled Tomcat 6 web application server + apache web server.
Many Thanks

In the articles section of this site look for Windows Pattern book. There should be 2 , one for Windows and one for Xi3.1.
Reverse Proxy section should apply to BI4.0 as well.
