Apache Tomcat and Servlets configuration...

Hi there fellow Javites,
does anybody know how to configure the apache tomcat server xml file to enable you to use the "old servlet url technique"? I hear that its been disabled by default in newer versions Tomcat.
You know where you would previously type in: http://localhost:8080/servlet/folder1.servlets.TheServlet
,but now you have to tell your web.xml file where your servlet is so you now have to type in:
http://localhost:8080/TheServlet
That is, unless you enable the server config file to allow you to do both.
I hate to ask such questions but I really hate the Apache Tomcat documentation.
Thanks.

Hi there,
well I was kinda hoping they'd be a shortcut to having to map the servlet in the web.xml file. In the older versions of the Apache tomcat you used to just be able to type in the url and the Servlet would be found.
Does anybody know how to enable the later versions of Apache Tomcat via the config file to use the old style of Servlet mapping?
I guess a more important question I should be asking also is, is this older style of mapping servlets now considered bad practice and is why it is no longer enabled by default in more recent Apache Tomcat versions???
Thank you, this community rocks! Keep up the Javite work guys, they'll never take us alive. NO LOL. :D

Apache Tomcat and Authentication Control

Hi,
IIS has �Basic Authentication� to check for username and password.
Does anyone knows a way to set up and configures Apache Tomcat 4.1.XX to authenticate the user? I have the default web site: http://localhost:8080/test/servlet/com.test.HomeServlet and I want authenticate the user before they get to this page.
Note: http://localhost:8080/admin/login.jsp has the login page for the admin. Can I reuse this login page and using the same users database for my default web site?
Please help, Thanks!

I haven't studied your problem in detail and don't actually use Tomcat 6, but in earlier versions of Tomcat the handling of JNDI leaves a lot to be desired. If you search this forum for posts about Tomcat and JNDI, you will find some useful information.
One thing I found was that you really need to use the context.xml file in your Meta-inf directory, putting the datasource anywhere else gets into one kind of trouble or another. I tried using server.xml, a context file for the application and the web-inf file.

Error with JSP, Apache Tomcat and SQL

Hi,
I was trying to do some user suthentication script.
This was my code..
<html>

<%
String Username1 = "";
String Password1 = "";
String Username2 = "";

Username2 = request.getParameter("uname");
Password2 = request.getParameter("pass");
qry = "select * from tbl_Users where Username="+Username2;
ResultSet Rs;
PreparedStatement pstmt=null;
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:BankDSN");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from tbl_Users");
while (rs.next())
Username1 = rs.getString("Username");
     Password1 = rs.getString("Password");
     if (Password1 == Password2)

     else
     response.sendRedirect("sorry.jsp");
rs.close();
stmt.close();
con.close();
%>

Dear vraptor,
I had seen ur jsp page , can i tell u one thing , never write a connection in the jsp page, why becoz the code can be seen.
ok here the problem is ur getting the username and password and putting an if condition inside the while loop so this throws an error.
anyway ur getting the values like
while (rs.next())
Username1 = rs.getString("Username");
Password1 = rs.getString("Password");
now the username and password are already retrived from server side, just do the check now outside the loop.
if (Password1 == Password2)
response.sendRedirect("home.jsp");
else
response.sendRedirect("sorry.jsp");
one more thing is check whether the page forwarding to correct page like response.sendRedirect("home.jsp");
see for the "/<directory Name>"/home.jsp if u keep all the jsp at one directory.
i mean this response.sendRedirect("/jspdirectory/home.jsp");
try this
regards

Apache Tomcat and eclipse for EP

Hi,
I have got anew book on SAP Enterprise protal by SAP Press.
There is also a CD which contains Portal development kit, eclipse 2.1, apache tomcat 3.3.1 and portal development kit plug-in for eclipse.
I don't have any SAP Access as if now.
Is it possible to learn SAP EP programming based on the softwares I have got on these CD and the book.
Tushar

Tushur, yes you can use that software to learn how to code JSPDynPage applications for the portal. This is how I started learning portal technology. I have since moved on to webdynpro. You might consider, as Srinivas suggested, download the Sneak Preview of WAS 6.40 java. This will give you a complete development envirnment, the NWDS, the portal, and the WAS to run it on. Next thing you now, you'll be writing webdynpro apps like the best of em.

I 'm trying to create a cluster server using Apache and two Tomcat's instance. My problem is when I have to use the JK2 connector (reference http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/jk.html) because I need to compile some files, but I new in solaris and I don't know how to do it.
I downloaded the file from this site http://archive.apache.org/dist/jakarta/tomcat-connectors/jk2/
I'm using Apache 2.0.55, Tomcat 5.028 and Solaris 9
I need to create a mod_jk2.so file
Does someone help me?

I would like to install awstats for get web stat. data.
I installed it in web server. can run the perl and get some result. I can generate awstats static pages result. but I would like to allow user to view on web.
such as http://www.abc.com/awstats/awstats.pl?config=xxx.
because mod_jk is using, all request / response will send to app. server. how to exclude the awstats directory? which means user cannot view the awstats report on web.
pls help
thanks

Kin

Ended up downloading and installing the mod_jk instead of the mod_jk2 that came with RedHat Application Server.

How to install apache tomcat in nebeans

hello everyone,
i am not able to configure apache tomcat in my netbeans.
i am little bit confuse between apache tomcat and glassfish servers. can any one tell where we glassfish and where we use apache tomcat?

Tomcat is a 'servlet engine'; put as simple as I can make it, it is a Java webserver. You can create web applications based on servlets & JSPs and run them on Tomcat.
Glassfish is an Java Enterprise (JEE) server and provides an implementation for the full Java Enterprise Edition specification. This also includes servlets & JSPs, but on top of that you get a whole batch of additional services.
I would start with Tomcat if I were you. You don't need to configure anything, if you download the proper Netbeans bundle it comes with Tomcat 7 already setup. If that is not the case, you either picked the wrong bundle or you made wrong decisions during installation.
edit:
Question for you. Do you know anything about Java at all (since you are posting this in new to java)? If not then you are waaaaaaaay out of your league trying to get into web programming, it is complicated and confusing enough if you know Java, it is near impossible to understand if you don't even know the basics of the basics yet.

JSP & Apache Tomcat &hsqldb

HI every one,please be patient while reading this message.
I installed apache tomcat and created a database by hsqldb.i want to work with this database from my JSP files.i read the documentation of hsqldb and they say that the best mode or the official one is to run the servlet server(as you know there are five modes of server).and they say that the servlet engine(Apache in this case) is responsible for lanching this servlet server.How can i run it and solve this problem.
thanks very very much.

thnx a lot for replying but what i want to know is how to
1- create database with hsqldb
2-add,delete ,insert ... to the database from jsp with apache running.
Note:will this steps be the same if i put the files on my site and also the database.
i mean ,will the same configurations be ok/
thnx again and waiting for your reply.

JBOSS or Apache Tomcat

which server is better? jboss or apache tomcat? can anyone pls give their advantages and disadvantages. Thanks

Just do the usual as for every other comparisons:
1) List all specs/features of each (you can find them at their homepages).
2) Put the lists next to each other and just outweight the one or other.
It might be good to know that JBoss AS under the hood actually uses Apache Tomcat as servlet container and adds some more sausage over it. Just determine if you actually need/like the sausage of JBoss on Apache Tomcat.

Apex Listener/Apache Tomact and filenames with spaces

I've installed the Apex Listener with Apache Tomcat, and all seems to work fine. Except when I try to do a CSV file data upload via the utilities screen in apex. If the filename/directory path contains spaces, then Apex reports "File Must Be Specified" error - yet if I do this same operation via EPG instead of Tomcat, it works. Are there any restrictions in Tomcat to using spaces??

Look at this thread. Re: File upload problem
