Strange behaviour of SJS Web server 7.0U1

Hi all,
I installed SJS Web server 7.0U1 on a Sun Blade with Solaris 10. All ok and no errors till sometimes it hang because suddenley it keep accepting more connection that it should.
We are tying everything but no clue.
Any suggetions? ANyone else got this problem or similar to this?
Thanks in advance
san2rini!!!

Hi,
the problem is that when I look up the .perf I see the follow.
Sessions:
Process Status Client Age VS Method URI Function
4384 response xxx.xxx.xx.xxx 23414 https-xxxx GET blablabla/200803101530.jpg send-file
4384 response xx..xx..xxx.xx 50 https-xxxx GET blablabla/0080310.jpg send-file
Now the AGE (which is 8 second by dedault) is keeping increasing and suddenly the webserver crash.
ANy clue?
regards

SUN Java System Web Server 7.0U1 How to install certificate chain

I am trying to install a certificate chain using the SUN Java Web Server 7.0U1 HTTPS User interface. What I have tried so far:
1. Created a single file using vi editor containing the four certificates in the chain by cutting an pasting each certificate (Begin Certificate ... End Certificate) where the top certificate is the server cert (associated with the private key), then the CA that signed the server cert, then the next CA, then the root CA. Call this file cert_chain.pem
2. Go to Certificates Tab/Server Certificates
3. Choose Install
4. Cut and paste contents of cert_chain.pem in the certificate data box.
5. Assign to httplistener
6. Nickname for this chain is 'server_cert'
7. Select httplistener and assign server_cert (for some reason, this is not automatically done after doing step 5).
8. No errors are received.
When I display server_cert (by clicking on it), only the first certificate of the chain is displayed and only that cert is provided to the client during the SSL handshake.
I tried to do the same, except using the Certificate Authority Tab, since this gave the option of designating the certificate as a CA or chain during installation. When I select ed "chain," I get the same results when I review the certificate (only the first cert in the file is displayed). This tells me that entering the chain in PEM format is not acceptable. I tried this method since it worked fine with the F5 BIG-IP SSL appliance.
My question is what format/tool do I need to use to create a certificate chain that the Web Server will accept?

--- BEGIN CERTIFICATE ---
... some data....
--- END CERTIFICATE ---
--- BEGIN CERTIFICATE ---
... some data....
--- END CERTIFICATE ---is NOT the way to create a certificate chain.
I have installed a certificated chain (it had 1 BEGIN CERTIFICATE and one END CERTIFICATE only and still had 2 certificates) and I used the same steps as you mentioned and it installed both the certificates.

So, noone at all is running SJS Web Server on Solaris 10 Update 6??

Trying to get some feedback on running SJS Web Server under Solaris 10 Update 6.
problems?
"Boy, That was a Mistake"
"Works Great"
"No Problems"
What?? Anything at all...
Thanks

Never mind.
It is a known bug documented on manual " [Solaris 10 10/08 Release Notes, Chapter 2 Solaris Runtime Issues|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-5245/chapter2-1000?a=view] " as shown below.
The solution is to apply vold patch [138130-01|http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-138130-01-1].
Solaris 10 10/08 DVD Media Might Not be Automatically Mounted by vold (6712352)
The Solaris 10 10/08 DVD does not mount by default during runtime. No error message is displayed.
Workaround: Perform the following steps:
   1. Become superuser.
   2. Disable vold:
      * On Solaris 10 Systems:
            # svcadm disable -t volfs
      * On Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 systems:
            /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
   3. Mount the media manually by using the # mount -F hsfs path to block device path to mount point command. For example:
      # mount -F hsfs /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s2 /mnt

SJS Web Server 6.1SP3 certificate install in VIP

Hi there,
I have just tried to install a server certificate into SJS Web Server 6.1SP3 which resides in a VIP on a clustered machine (I believe).
We created the database and certificate whilst the machine was sitting at a certain "node" (machine_namea.domain) - and sent off for the certificate.
In the meantime - the machine failed over to node z - (machine_namez.domain) - and then we tried to install the certificate. We keep getting an error stating that the key pair password is not recognised.
I realise that this is because the key pair database password was created and the certificate request was generated on a physically different machine from which we tried to install the certificate - however my question is do we need to request and install certificates for every failover node in order to https enable the webserver running in this VIP?
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated, as I have just had to cancel an urgent promotion as we cannot https enable the webserver :-)

In IE, favicon will not be shown in the title bar or the addressbar as in other browsers. As its name indicates it is "Favorites Icon". If we add the web page to the favorites (ie Bookmark) then this icon will be used.
In IE,
1. Open the web page,
2. Select Favorites --> Add to Favorites
3. Now, You could see the Favicon in the Favorites menu.
May be in the later versions of IE, it may use the favicon to show up in title bar or address bar similar to other browsers...

No problems at all when loggin in from Windows based PC's even if it is a Virtuall Windows on Parallel. Please advice. I can attach a screen grabs how this exactly looks like ..
Thank you for ur help.

Strange behaviour in .mac web galleries

Hi,
I have started to use .mac web galleries with aperture 2. However, I am witnessing some very strange behaviour. Firstly, it seems to take forever to update, the icon at the side of the gallery is permanently on the 'update' icon.
Secondly, whenever I add new photos to the gallery it actually creates an entirely new gallery with all the photos from the previous gallery.
Is anybody else having issues with the aperture flavour of .mac web galleries?
thx
Phil

I have a similar problem Phil! I watch the status indicator for a web gallery progress to about half way then it stops, the album doesn't get published. I have published albums before this started happening, and have published other albums successfully but sometimes certain albums don't publish. I delete them and repost them to no avail. Hopefully we can get some answers! This is quite lame, don'tcha think?

How do I use Sun Web Server 7.0u1 reverse proxy to change public URLs?

Some of our installations use the Sun Web Server 7.0 (update 1, usually)
for hosting some of the public resource and reverse-proxying other parts
of the URI namespace from other backend servers (content, application
and other types of servers).
So far every type of backend server served a unique part of the namespace
and there was no collision of names, and the backend resources were
published in a one-to-one manner. That is, a backend resource like, say,
http://appserver:8080/content/page.html would be published in the internet
as http://www.publicsite.com/content/page.html
I was recently asked to research whether we can rename some parts of
the public URI namespace, to publish some or all resources as, say,
http://www.publicsite.com/data/page.html while using the same backend
resources.
Another quest, possibly related in solution, was to make a tidy url for the
first page the user opens of the site. That is, in the current solution when
a visitor types the url "www.publicsite.com" in his or her browser, our web
server returns an HTTP-302 redirect to the actual first page URL, so the
browser sends a second request (and changes the URL in its location bar).
One customer said that it is not "tidy". They don't want the URL to change
right upon first rendering the page. They want the root page to be rendered
instantly i the first HTTP request.
So far I found that I can't solve these problems. I believe these problems
share a solution because it relies on ability to control the actual URI strings
requested by Sun Web Server from backend servers.
Some details follow, now:
It seems that the reverse proxy (Service fn="service-passthrough") takes
only the $uri value which was originally requested by the browser. I didn't
yet manage to override this value while processing a request, not even if
I "restart" a request. Turning the error log up to "finest" I see that even
when making the "service-passthrough" operation, the Sun Web Server
still remembers that the request was for "/test" (in my test case below);
it does indeed ask the backend server for an URI "/test" and that fails.
[04/Mar/2009:21:45:34] finest (25095) www.publicsite.com: for host xx.xx.xx.83

<If $uri =~ '^/$'>
    NameTrans fn="redirect"

### This maps http://public/content/* to http://10.16.2.127:8080/content/*

I have also tried "restart"ing the request like this:

    Service fn="set-variable" uri="/magnoliaPublic/Main.html"Thanks for any ideas (including a statement whether this can be done at all
in some version of Sun Web Server 7.0 or its opensourced siblings) ;)
//Jim

Some of our installations use the Sun Web Server 7.0 (update 1, usually)please plan on installing the latest service pack - 7.0 Update 4. these updates addresses potentially critical bug fixes.
I was recently asked to research whether we can rename some parts of
the public URI namespace, to publish some or all resources as, say,
http://www.publicsite.com/data/page.html while using the same backend
resources.> now, if all the resources are under say /data, then how will you know which pages need to be sent to which back end resources. i guess, you probably meant to check for /data/page.html should go to <back-end>/content/page.html
yes, you could do something like
- edit your corresponding obj.conf (<hostname>-obj.conf or obj.conf depending on your configuration)
<Object name=¨default¨>
<If $uri = ¨/page/¨>
#move this nametrans SAF (for map directive - which is for reverse proxy within <if> clause)
NameTrans.. fn=map
</If
</Object>
and you could do https-<hostname>/bin/reconfig (dynamic reconfiguration) to check out if this is what you wanted. also, you might want to move config/server.xml <log-level> to finest and do your configuration . this way, you would get enough information on what is going on within your server logs.
finally,when you are satisfied, you might have to run the following command to make your manual change into admin config repository.
<install-root>/bin/wadm pull-config user=admin config=<hostname> <hostname>
<install-root>/bin/wadm deploy-config --user=admin <hostname>
you might want to check out this for more info on how you could use <if> else condition to handle your requirement.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-6599/gdaer?a=view
finally, you might want to refer to this doc - which explains on ws7 request processing overview. this should provide you with some pointers as to what these different directives mean

pl. understand that - like with more web servers - ordering of directives is very important within obj.conf. so, you might want to make sure that you verify the obj.conf directive ordering is what you want it to do..

now, you are in the totally wrong direction. web server 7 includes a highly integrated reverse proxy solution compared to 6.1. unlike 6.1, you don´t have to download a separate plugin . however, you will need to manually migrate your 6.1 based reverse proxy settings into 7.0. please check out this blog link on how to set up a reverse proxy
http://blogs.sun.com/amit/entry/setting_up_a_reverse_proxy
feel free to post to us if you need any futher help
you are probably better off - starting fresh
- install ws7u4
- use gui or CLI to create a reverse proxy and map one on one - say content
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-6601/create-reverse-proxy-1?a=view
if you don´t plan on using ws7 integrated web container (ability to process jsp/servlet), then you could disable java support as well. this should reduce your server memory footprint
<install-root>/bin/wadm disable-java user=admin config=<hostname>
<install-root>/bin/wadm create-reverse-proxy user=admin uri-prefix=/content server=<http://your back end server/ config=<hostname> --vs=<hostname>
<install-root>/bin/wadm deploy-config --user=admin <hostname>
now, you can check out the regular express processing and <if> syntax from our docs and try it out within <https-<hostname>/config/<hostname>-obj.conf> file and restart the server. pl. note that once you disable java, ws7 admin server creates <vs>-obj.conf and you need to edit this file and not default obj.conf for your changes to be read by server.
>
I have also tried "restart"ing the request like this:
NameTrans fn="restart" uri="/data"
ordering is very important here... you need to do this some thing like
<Object name=default>
<If not $restarted>
NameTrans fn=restart uri from=/¨ uri=/foo.
</If>

Favicon is not shown in Internet Explorer ... (SJS Web Server 6.1)

Hi,
I wanna show a favicon in Internet Explorer but it's not easy.
I just deploy a 'favicon.ico' file in Document Root of Web Server.
It works well with other browsers , for example, Mozilla Firefox or Netscape Navigator.
But only MS Internet Explorer can't show the favicon.
How can I solve this problem?
Plz help me.
Thanks,

In IE, favicon will not be shown in the title bar or the addressbar as in other browsers. As its name indicates it is "Favorites Icon". If we add the web page to the favorites (ie Bookmark) then this icon will be used.

Strange behavior from Weblogic web server

This doesn't seem to be an EJB issue so I'm responding to the servlet
newsgroup. Also, why don't you try posting a simple example of the type of
html/javascript you are serving and/or open a support case with BEA Customer
support. Additionally, this link might help:

Strange behaviour on preloading web page in WebView

I have the following problem: In my Swing application i'd like to show a web page. In order to do so i use a JFXPanel that contains a WebView. The web page should be loaded in the background and just if the loading process is totally completed i want to make the JFXPanel visible. I use the getLoadWorker().workDoneProperty() method of the corresponding WebEngine to determine if the page is totally loaded.
The problem is, that at the moment the JFXPanel gets visibile I see at first a totally empty panel, and only after a short time the web page in the WebView is visible. I have made a simple Demo Application that reproduces this behaviour. If the page is loaded a button gets enabled and a click on that button adds the WebView to the panel below. Furthermore the following link points to an animated gif which demonstrates the behaviour: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=oh66bl&s=5#.Ujv2IhddWKl
Here is the code of the demo application:

I don''t understand this behaviour in fact that the page should already been loaded. For mee it seems like the WebView starts renderering the site just at the moment when it gets visible. What can I do to achieve that the WebView already shows the loaded web page at the moment it gets Visible (to avoid this flickr effect)?
I have already posted this issue at StackOverflow (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18873315/javafx-webview-loading-page-in-background ) but didn't get an answer there and found this forum today.
Thanks in advance!

Try the updated version in this post.
It forces an offscreen snapshot before displaying the webview to ensure all of the rendering is done before the WebView is displayed.
The code is kind of ugly and the "solution" is a bit of a hack, you would probably want to clean it up a bit before using it anywhere (for example it is unnecessary to create a new WebView and snapshot the web page on every load - I just did that to get a feel for a worst case scenario and to try to pinpoint where slowdowns are occurring).
A small rectangle moves back and forth across the top of the screen so that animation smoothness can be monitored.
On the first load there will be a slight stutter in the animation, however the rendered web page appears instantly when the clicks the "Show page" button.
As you say, the stutter only occurs the first time the page is loaded, subsequently everything is smooth. If you use a regular progress bar rather than an animation, then the initial stutter is likely fine, as people expect to see pauses in progress bars from time to time (most progress reported by progress bars isn't a smooth linear progression). My guess is that, if you use a regular progress bar, the behaviour experienced with this sample is likely acceptable to almost all users.
Regarding the differences between rendering between JavaFX 2.2 and JavaFX 8, there were many modifications to the internal JavaFX architecture for JavaFX 8 that improved the rendering performance, so that likely accounts for the delta.

Strange behaviour of OS X Server DNS with IPv6 reverse zones

I am running a full IPv4 / IPv6 dual stack setup across several machiens including a server (OS X 10.9.1 / OS X Server 3.0.2). I also have IPv6 Internet access via TunnelBroker and have a /64 prefix assigned to me. All my systems have valid and correct IPv6 addresses (not temporary ones) from the range denoted by that prefix.
I have setup IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for all my systems in OS X Server DNS and that works fine. However, when I add an IPv6 address for a system, the DNS server (or maybe the server GUI) insists on creating a reverse zone for the /127 version of the address. This means I pretty much have a separate reverse zone for every system, which seems crazy to me. it is especially annoying as I have another DNS server where all my zones are defined as slave zoes (for availability reasons) and thsi makes the process of addign a new IPv6 host somewhat tedious. I tried pre-creating a properly named reverse zone for the /64 prefix but the DNS server would not use that and still persists in creating these strange zones.
Here is a (fictitous example)...
My /64 prefix is 2001:fd0:f19:2ab::/64
I have a system with an address of 2001:fd0:f19:2ab:7e6d:62ff:fe8a:a84c
I add this to OS X Server DNS and it created the reverse DNS zone:
4.8.a.a.8.e.f.f.f.2.6.d.6.e.7.b.a.2.0.9.1.f.0.0.d.f.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
whereas I would expect it to instead add it to the zone
b.a.2.0.9.1.f.0.0.d.f.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
if that zone already exists.
Has anyone else noticed this? Or do you have it working as one might expect?

Chris..
I, too, have the same problem. I take issue with much of the OS X "Server" after it has been so completely dummed down that it is virtually useless for anyone that would actually like to utilize it as an actual, as the name implies, "SERVER." I won't get into all of the details of everything that drives me crazy with Apple's decisions here but, suffice it to say, I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with Apple more than ever. They should, at a minimum, offer a full-fledged server like they used to have, for an additional price, for people that need more than a nice looking interface and a worthless box.
That being said, the DNS server, like the rest of the OS X Mavericks Server, is dummed down to the point of allowing very little customization. Short of using the command line, which I have decided to do (I scrapped the OS X server all together, and just set up BIND, openLDAP, DHCP, Quagga, etc. from the CLI just like I do with all of my Linux servers), there is not much you can do to get the correct prefixes to show up in IPv6 reverse zones. The reason is that when you enter the forward record, the interface does not give an option to enter the prefix. So, it seems that for EACH AND EVERY v6 entry (AAAA record) you have (or at least every 10 entries), you will get a separate reverse zone.
To be completely honest, I don't even know why they included IPv6 zones in this implementation because it is totally out of compliance with the RFCs and, obviously, will not provide proper and correct reverse lookups. How could it? As you pointed out above, with a /64 prefix, you're getting a 31 digit long reverse zone (which, btw, is a /124)...***??? I've never heard of such a thing. There should be 16 digits in a /64, 12 in a /48, 8 in /32 and so on.
I don't think it is anything to do with your using a tunnel broker -- all of our systems are native IPv6 and all reverse queries to the Mac Server fail.
I can tell you how to use the CLI to manually enter the zones with the serveradmin tool, if you like, but my advice is to just move to a full fledged BIND implementation .... and, if you want some type of interface other than the console, use something like Webmin which has a GREAT DNS zone interface...and it also keeps up with the RFC compliance.
Just message me back if you'd like the shell commands. I hate to say this, it literally pains me, but I administer a ton of servers (physical and virtualized)... roughly 1000 +- to be exact...and WINDOWS Server has a DNS server that is so much further ahead and ADVANCED than Mac, it is disgusting. In fact, we are running 12 Win Server 2012R2 Active Directory Domain Servers, each running synchronized DNS records and even with over 250,000 DNS records, it works like a champ. Still, our primary and fail-safe DNS servers are all BIND v9. Like I said, it is awful to say that about Mac, but dude, they need to wake up and either get back to the real-deal systems or just get out of the advanced product arena all together. (one exception...my new MacPRO is AWESOME and the most advanced piece of computing equipment money can buy for the price...so kudos there)
Sorry about the rant, but when i read your post, I was reminded how frustrated I am at all of this nonsense.
Take care...and good luck.

Strange behaviour of the web UI

Hi,
I have encountered something weird when i used the web UI of Oracle 10g Express.
I have a table with one of fields defined as Blob type and this table contains a record with data in the blob field.
I used a Java application (created by myself) and standard Java's record fetching methodology to get the record from that table and everything works fine. The key point here is that i am able to retrieve the blob data from the DB.
However, when i used the web UI to update a particular field in that table (e.g. changed a value), i could no longer retrieve the blob data using the Java application. It returned a null instead and moreover, the web UI still indicates that there was value in the blob field.
I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem. Is it a bug?

when i used the web UI to update a particular field in that table (e.g. changed a
value), i could no longer retrieve the blob data using the Java application. It
returned a null instead and moreover, the web UI still indicates that
there was value in the blob field.Post exactly how you update that table.

Adding a JDBC driver in Sun Java System Web Server 7

I'm trying to configure JDBC database connection pooling for a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition though the Sun Java System Web Server 7 administration console. I don't want to use the MSSQL JDBC driver that comes bundled with the SJSWS 7. So I've downloaded the lastest MSSQL JDBC driver from the Microsoft website and put in the "lib" subdirectory of the SJSWS installation directory. So when I go to add a new JDBC resource through the administration console, the newly added MSSQL database driver doesn't appear in the "Driver Vendor" drop-down box.
How do I add the downloaded JDBC driver to the server so that it appears in the "Driver Vendor" drop-down under "Create JDBC resource".

Check this documentation from MS on using the JDBC driver with DataSource
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms379052.aspx
SJS Web Server 7.0 should work with any driver that has support for javax.sql.DataSource. The great majority of drivers do.
So instead of using the driver name, use the DataSource class name:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource
The properties to add should be:
user=username
password=password
servername=sql_server_hostname
portnumber=sql_server_port
databasename=databasename
In general, all the setters required to get the datasource configured can be set as properties.

How to Configure Apache Web Server with Tomcat web container in Linux

Hi all,
I am working on Tomcat web server 5.0.19 on Linux AS 3.0., ( my Control Server)
I need map my tomcat to Apache Web Server (httpd) in another system
(web server).
I dont have jk2_ or jk_mod .so files to use in my tomcat/conf directory to make them available for httpd.conf files of Apache Web server.
I have only jk2.properties file in my conf.,
Please tell me how to go about it
my mail id [email protected]
Thank You

The simple answer is to download a web server that has a web container already integrated on it, so all that painful configuration work is avoided.
You can use the mature SJS Web Server 6.1 SP5 at
http://www.sun.com/webserver
Or you can try a preview of the upcoming version at
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=446518d5
You will get better performance and security, with easy of use, at about the same price ;)

Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Thanks for the reply Chilideveloper, here is the output of the core dump. I hope it is a) the right thing and b) helpful
