Directory problem with tomcat

Hi, i face a problem when trying to deploy my apps in tomcat4. Because my URL that point to my servlet is very long e.g.:
http://222.222.222.222/abc/def/ghi/jkl/myServlet
because of some constraint i need to put the myServlet in /jkl folder instead of /abc folder under webapps..... but in tomcat server.xml and web.xml for the apps i can't find the correct tag to set so that this is enabled..... is there any method to configure this??
Thanx in advance for the help. :)

http://222.222.222.222/abc/def/ghi/jkl/myServlet
because of some constraint i need to put the
myServlet in /jkl folder instead of /abc folder underI don't understand what kinda constraint would make someone tie to a long URL? Okay if abc is the web-app root directory, then you could place the servlet in the def.ghi.jkl package and configure the web.xml accordingly.

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.

I don't see any problem with your files, so unfortunately I can't help. Since this forum is about the J2EE SDK, people may not have that much experience with standalone Tomcat. You may want to try the Tomcat user mailing list for a question about Tomcat: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html

Eclipse problem with Tomcat when running jsp

when I start tomcat from CMD, it starts normally and display http://localhost:8080/ properly
but when I start tomcat from Eclipse, it starts the server normally,
but it can't display http://localhost:8080/ properly,
I guess that the problem with the java classpath isn't defined correctly in Eclipse
but but I've tried it before, and it doesn't work
here the error msg from Eclipse console:

I would suggest updating your software to the latest versions - java 1.4.2 or higher, tomcat 5 or higher, Eclipse 3. That should fix any incompatibilities you are experiencing.
As to your problem, it seems the tomcat you are trying to run from Eclipse wants a newer Java version (1.4.2 most likely).

Problem with Tomcat 5.0

Hi there,
I have a .java file inside \WEB-INF\classes\ directory. This .java file has a "public static void main" method that calls al the other methods in the class.
I want to know if its possible for me to create an JSP file to call this .java file. If so how can i do it?
Thanks!!

This .java file has a "public static void main" method that calls al the other methods in the class.Fine - for testing on a command line.
I want to know if its possible for me to create an JSP file to call this .java file. If so how can i do it?What part don't you understand? Writing JSPs? Calling methods? What is a person so ignorant doing with Tomcat anyway?
It's possible to call main, but not a good idea.

Problem with Tomcat 6

Hi guys,
I am with a very strange problem with my job here.
We had a server working with Tomcat 5 and it didn't have problem, but wanted to changed to Tomcat 6.
So.. we changed and it ran normal and well.
The problem is when we stress the server with one or more big queries, execptions is showed that didn't show with Tomcat 5:
java.lang.Exception: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Object has been closed
Using SQL Server 2000
java.lang.Exception: The connection is closed.
Using SQL Server 2005
java.lang.Exception: I/O Error: socket closed.
Using SQL Server 2005 with jTDS driver
It happens with Oracle too.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

hi i'm having a similar problem launching a servlet in eclipse. I did the above changes and still nothing:

Problems with tomcat 4.0.1

hello,
i�ve written some servlets using forte 3.0 with tomcat 3.2.
everything works fine as long as I don�t run the servlets with tomcat 4.0.1.
i use the request dispatcher / forward method - which dosn�t work reliable.
it�s a list on which the user has to select one topic. the strange thing about it is that it works when you choose "back" after the error (dispatcher = null) has occured and select a different topic on that list - only the first choice makes en error.
running on tomcat 3.2 with forte it works fine. but i get the following message in the tomcat output window:
java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find resource for bundle java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, key dispatcher.forwardException
and
2002-01-13 11:40:05 - Ctx( /lg002234 ): Exception in: R( /lg002234 + /eingaben + null) - javax.servlet.ServletException: cannot find message associated with key : dispatcher.forwardException
can somebody help?
is use the dispatcher three times in that post-method - ist that a problem?

...sorry
it�s not a problem with the requestdispatcher,
problem is, that with tomcat 4.0.1 a parameter
sometimes gets lost - but not with tomcat 3.2
critical code is:
String tierartAuswahl = request.getParameter("tierartAuswahl");
is that a known bug of tomcat 4.0.1??

Problems with Tomcat 4.0 and jdk 1.3.1 (jsp:include) Help Gurus...

Im running examples of the include:
<jsp:include page="xxx.jsp" flush="true">
and received error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: No se puede compilar la clase para JSP
An error occurred at line: 17 in the jsp file: /jsp/include/include.jsp
Generated servlet error:

JspRuntimeLibrary.include(request, response, "/jsp/include/foo.html" + jspxqStr, out, true);
^
Please Help me Im running this equal with:
<%@ include file="xxx.jsp" %>
and runnig fine....

The two means of including files are different in their approach.
Using <jsp:include .../> compilation of the included jsp is done at run -time not during compilation.
Using <%@ include .../> compiles at compile time.
Looking at the error it seems that the method JspRuntimeLibrary.include is not being found which suggests that you may have a classpath problem. Check that there is not a servlet.jar in the classpath that is from a earlier spec than the one provided with Tomcat.

Problem with Tomcat server

Hi,
I'm just writing to inform you about a problem with the Oracle 9i database I found out.
I have downloaded and installed the release 2 enterprise/standard/personal edition for Windows NT/2000/XP.
After doing that I could not start my Tomcat server any more. Although I have tested the situation with many different releases of the Apache Tomcat server it did not work.
Then I've deleted the Oracle database and just installed the client release. And now it works!
I'd be grateful if one of you could tell me what's the problem and how I can solve it.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Steffi

Hi,
I have same problem. But unfortunately there does not exist a solution.
You can read the explanation of this topic at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html#Non%20DBCP%20Solutions
Non DBCP Solutions. I understand Tomcat supports only MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle 8i but not DB2.
DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/SmsDBDS");
Up to now everything is fine, ds is not null, but inside ds (password, url, username...) all of them are null
So when you execute conn = ds.getConnection(); there will be exception.
If you find any solution please inform me.

A problem with Tomcat (Can't run tomcat as a service.).

Hi
May be you can help me (please).
I do the following steps, as described in many documents I've found.
1. Downloaded the jk_nt_service.exe and put it into jdk1.3.1jre\bin\classic
2. configured wrapper.properties:
wrapper.tomcat_home=C:\tomcat324 wrapper.java_home=C:\work\jdk1.3.1
3. Run:
C:\>jk_nt_service.exe -i tomcat C:\tomcat324conf\wrapper.properties
C:\>jk_nt_service.exe -s tomcat
C:\>net start tomcat
In this step I get the following error:
A system error has occurred.
System error 1067 has occurred.
The process terminated unexpectedly.
I've got the same error on other computers and using Alexandria's program.. As I understood it's not only my problem, others have it too.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
First U should check if IIS and Tomcat are running together then Tomcat won't start coz both use the 80 port. u have shut down IIS and use Tomcat and enable Tomcat to start with the services, If shutting down IIS is not a problem.
If u need both IIS and Tomcat to run together then u have change the server http port u can do it in the following manner
drive:\Apache Tomcat 4.0\conf directory.
Edit the sever.xml file
In the server.xml file u will have to change the port in the following piece

<Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
port="8080" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="60000"/>

Change the port 8080 to 808x where x is any number between 0 to 9
Restart the machine and this should work
Good Luck
Bye,

Query Active Directory + Problem with thumbnailPhoto

Hi<o:p></o:p>
I have a problem and I don’t know if it is my SQL Query, so here goes
<o:p></o:p>
I have a view on my SQL server that Queries our Active Directory. I can see that there is data in the table.<o:p></o:p>
But when I try to use the Image in some C# code I get an error on 60% of the images with the exception header missing or corrupted.
My view is built with this Query:
select
* from
openquery
ADSI,'SELECT sAMAccountName, mail, title, displayName, telephoneNumber, mobile, sn, givenName, department, thumbnailPhoto
FROM ''LDAP:[REMOVED]''
WHERE objectCategory = ''Person''
Do you have any idea where the problem is? The photos shows up fine in Outlook, SharePoint, lync etc. I’m pretty sure that the C# code works correctly. Hope you can help.
Regards

I deploy the .war to application server and it works just fine.
and i configure the tomcat with:
JNDI Name: jdbc/test
Data Source URL: jdbc:mysql://192.168.0.2:3306/test
JDBC Driver Class: org.gjt.mm.mysql.
User Name: root
Password: admin
Max. Active Connections: 20
Max. Idle Connections: 20
Max. Wait for Connection: 5000
the only thing different in application server is the the Jdbc Driver Class.
And I am using Creator update 7 to generate the .war
am i missing something ????

Marlos Rodrigues

I found a simple way to deploy on Tomcat.
*** Copy standard.jar, jstl.jar and mysql-connector-xxx.jar (if you are using mysql otherwise the drivers jar for the DB you are using).
*** Edit the Tomcat conf/context.xml config file and add a WatchedResource :
<WatchedResource>META-INF/context.xml</WatchedResource>
*** Add your context.xml to META-INF of your war :
<Context path="/DBTest" docBase="DBTest"
        debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
<Resource name="jdbc/TestDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
               maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
               username="javauser" password="javadude" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
               url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/javatest?autoReconnect=true"/>
</Context>This will create a config file in conf/Catalina/localhost with the context path name, so in this case DBTest.xml
Hope that helps! That's how I got it working...

Migration problems with Tomcat 4.1.10. Please help.

Product:           Java Web Application
Operating system:     Redhat Linux 7.3
Web Server:          Apache 1.3.x
Application server:     Tomcat 4.1.10
Database server:     MySQL 3.23.x
Java Architecture:     JSP (presentation) + Java Bean (Business logic)
JDK version:          1.3.1_04
Hi,
     When we tried to migrate our application from Tomcat 4.0.4 to Tomcat 4.1.10, we found that the relative path references like ../xyz/ab.jsp are not properly interpreted by Netscape and the url seen on the address bar is something like this (http://www.sww.com/../xyz/ab.jsp. Also dynamic jsp forwarding support seems to have changed. While forwarding, the dynamic parameters attached are automatically url encoded. We have tested our application on Tomcat 4.0.4, there were no such issues. Since we have used these sort of things in many places in our application it will be difficult for us to change in all those places. Can anybody tell us what we can do about it?
thanks in advance,
Srikanth. S.

Hi,
http://www.xyz.com/swiz/test.jsp:
<%
response.sendRedirect("../sebase/common_login.jsp");
%>
When I run http://www.xyz.com/swiz/test.jsp with the above code, the url is displayed http://www.xyz.com/swiz/../sebase/common_login.jsp in Netscape address bar when the application is run on tomcat 4.1.10. With Internet explorer and opera, it reads http://www.xyz.com/sebase/common_login.jsp. But on Tomcat 4.0.4, there is no problem even with Netscape. Since we are tracking the urls in many places in our application, we are having problem because of the above said type of url interpretation.
thanks in advance,
Srikanth. S.

J2SE 1.4 Logger configuration problems with Tomcat 4.0

I'm using Tomcat 4.0 as a servlet container and I'm trying out the new J2SE 1.4 logging API.
Its working fine with the standard settings, which sets the level to INFO on the console handler.
I would like to set the level to FINER to show some debugging info, but can't seem to get it going.
I have tried setting the default level in my %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\logging.properties file, but it doesn't want to display log records of level FINER.
I have also change the console handler to FINER by setting java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINER
I have also specified the config file parameter to point to a config file explicitly using the -Djava.util.logging.config.file=%CATALINA_HOME%\conf\logging.properties parameter in the catalina.bat script.
Anyone got this working?
--Kim

Solved it. Isn't that always the way, you get frustrated enough to post a message, then you solve it 5 minutes later.
It was a simple problem of the higher level overriding the lower levels.
