Sun-web.xml and additional classpaths

Got sun webserver 6.1 running on Solaris.
In development we need a web app to include additional classes over and above those found in the WEB-INF/classes directory.
This was achieved in web server 6.0 by adding an extra classpath into the relevant web app definition in web-apps.xml.
In 6.1 this is achieved through the sun-web.xml file using the 'extra-class-path' attribute within the 'class-loader' tag.
Only it doesn't work.
I don't think the sun-web.xml file is even being read as it doesn't pick up any (deliberate) XML errors!
Anyone got any ideas / help / an example sun-web.xml file that uses 'extra-class-path' ?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin P.

The problem is that the sun-web.xml is specific to the server you're deploying to. (It might look like the one for the bundled PE but that's just by accident:-()
Also different containers (like the Sun Web Server, the Application Server) use the same file name but different schemas/DTD's for that file:-(
So we decided to not include it.
But you have the source, everything is done via Ant;-) Look at the build.xml and nbproject/build-impl.xml in your project;-)
I hope that helps;-)

  • My sun-web.xml file doesn't seem to be getting processed.

    I've made another topic in this forum because my pre-compiled JSPs are not working but I think that I may have found the root of that problem, and it is this...
    My sun-web.xml file does not seem to be getting processed (run?) by the web server. I have this theory because I made some changes to it that should have caused an error as the server starts up, but there was nothing. For example, I added some random text as a tag that should have been an error, and there was none.
    Now, I did the same thing in my web.xml file, and sure enough, there was an error on start up. So, this coupled with the fact that my "use-precompiled" property seems not to be working makes me think that the sun-web.xml file is not being used by the sever.
    Is there anything I need to do other than drop it in the /WEB-INF directory with the web.xml file?
    Thanks.

    It might be possible that the extra tags in sun-web.xml are just ignored (ie. not validated). I have seen cases where this has occurred.
    A simple test you should perform is to enable some obvious setting in sun-web.xml, and see if that takes effect. Ex.
    <sun-web-app>
    <session-config>
    <session-manager persistence-type="mmap"/>
    </session-config>
    </sun-web-app>
    During startup time the logs should indicate that the persistence type has been set to MMAP. Like the following:
    [02/Nov/2005:20:21:25] info (12566): WEB3006: Initializing MMapSession Manager to hold a maximum of (1,000) sessions, each of which can store a maximum of (10) values each about (4,096) bytes size, with a timeout value of (1,800) seconds; please ensure that this configuration fits total size of the serialized byte stream of all the attributes of a session

  • Change the JSESSIONID name in sun-web.xml

    Hi,
    i saw the sun document, we can change the JSESSIONID to user defined name. This we can set in the sun-web.xml. I did this, but still it's using the JSESSIONID. How can we change the JSESSIONID to my own name. It will be very great if any one provide the solution.

    Could you please shed some light on what exactly you're refering to with the 'sun document' and the 'sun-web.xml' ?
    I'm only asking this because I've never heard of customizing the JSESSIONID to your own name in the web.xml ...
    BTW, the session id having to a unique identifier in order for session tracking to work correctly, I don't think it is such a good idea to be able to customize it to your own name, since names (even indian names) are far from being unique.

  • Missing sun-web.xml

    Starting yesterday, when I export a war file for my project, the sun-web.xml file is missing from the exported war file. I need to manually pack the sun-web.xml file into the war file before deploy it to the App server. Any idea why this is happening and how to avoid it?

    Hi
    The reason behind missing sun-web.xml when you "Export War" is to create a war file that should be portable across different containers.
    If it includes container specific DD (sun-web.xml for ex. AS8 PE) when you "Export War" then it causes problems when you deploy this war file to a different container (for ex S1WS 6.x ) which uses the same name for its DD but with different contents.
    Hope this explains why sun-web.xml was not included in war file.
    Thanks

  • Sun-web.xml memory based sessioning issue

    I recently installed Sun WebServer 7.0 Update 8 on Fedora 20. Everything seems to be working fine with my webserver except for the memory based sessioning.
    My First Configuration - no sun-web.xml file defined
    Expected Behavior - I would assume that memory based sessioning would be used.
    Actual Behavior on my local instance - Every 1-2 minutes my session would abruptly end and a new JSESSIONID would be issued. This does not happen on other machines running the same webapp, so it does seem to be a sun webserver configuration problem.
    My Second Configuration - using the following sun-web.xml file:
    <!DOCTYPE sun-web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Application Server 8.1 Servlet 2.5//EN" "http://www.sun.com/software/appserver/dtds/sun-web-app_2_5-0.dtd">
    <sun-web-app>
      <session-config>
         <session-manager persistence-type="memory">
              <manager-properties>
                   <property name="reapIntervalSeconds" value="20000" />
             </manager-properties>
         </session-manager>
        </session-config>
    </sun-web-app>
    Expected Behavior - Memory based sessioning would be used
    Actual Behavior on my local instance - Same as with no sun-web.xml. Every 1-2 minutes my session would abruptly end and a new JSESSIONID would be issued.
    Does anyone see what is wrong with my sun-web.xml file? I'm also not sure if the file permissions/ownerships are correct on all of my sun webserver files. Is there a particular temp file or location that Sun Webserver uses to track active sessions? Or are in-memory sessions completely stored in memory and not on disk? Is there a default sun-web.xml file somewhere that is overriding my settings (and if so, where is it located)?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    Firstly you should know Fedora is not a support platform. it might work but you could run into a load of issues as your go.
    in any case you don't need a sun-web.xml file at all. For any deployed Web app the default session manager is memory. So remove that 1st. After that check that
    the requests are really sending a JSESSIONID. This kind of issue can occur when you have a Load balancer.

  • Mime-type tag in web.xml and attachment download

    i have set a mime-type in web.xml as below:
    <mime-mapping>
         <extension>xls</extension>
         <mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
    </mime-mapping>
    And i have a simple jsp that only shows a table and i am making this jsp to get downloaded as an excel attachment. To make it possible i have written the following line in the JSP:
    response.setHeader( "content-disposition", "attachment; filename=myexcel.xls" );
    But i am not setting the content type first by writing:
    response.setContentType( "application/vnd.ms-excel" );
    since i have already mentioned the appropriate mime-type for excel files in web.xml.
    I am using both mozilla and IE. Both are showing file download dialog. But IE is able to correctly identify the type of the attachment and opens it up with Microsoft Excel whereas mozilla fails to identify the type, assumes it to be an HTML document and opens it up in a new window of IE.
    mozilla works fine only when i set the content type in the JSP itself. But IE works in all conditions even without having the mime-type tag in web.xml.
    If i have already specified the mime-type for particular type of file in web.xml, is there any requirement to set the content type again in the JSP/servlet?
    Please help. I even changed the mime-type for .xls (excel) files in web.xml and made it text/plain, but still the same thing is happening. IE is always showing the correct file type where as mozilla is taking it as an HTML document.
    i am using weblogic server 8.1.

    the web xml mime type setting are for static files served by the server...
    if you print a file directly to the output of the servlet, you must set the mime type, so DO write :
    response.setContentType( "application/vnd.ms-excel" );
    IE "works fine" because it also uses the file extension to decide the mime type... but in the absolute, it's a wrong behaviour

  • Jazn-data.xml file, authentication in web.xml and embedded oc4j

    I've defined new security-roles, security-constraints and an authentication method in my web.xml file and i've created a new jazn-data.xml file that holds the different users and their groups.
    If I want to link the security-roles of the web.xml file to the roles in the jazn-data.xml file I always need an orion-application.xml file, is this correct?
    If I want to deploy an application as this to the embedded container the security won't work, I'm always getting the '403 forbidden' page.
    Can somebody point me out how I need to define security for an embedded and standalone environment when using authentication and jazn-data.xml file + how do I deploy this to a standalone oc4j and how to get this same application to work in the embedded oc4J.

    hi "romanna"
    Part of the answer to "Can somebody point me out how I need to define security ..." can probably be found in the "Oracle ADF Developer's Guide" that has "18 Adding Security to an Application".

  • Env-entry in web.xml and 6.0 sp4

    Does anyone know if iws 6.0 sp4 supports env-entry elements in web.xml???
    According to servlet specs 2.2 it should support it since it has JSP support.
    From 2.3 specs:
    "The following addtional elements exist in the web application deployment
    descriptor to meet the requirements of web containers that are JSP enabled or part
    of a J2EE application server. They are not required to be supported by containers
    wishing to support only the servlet specification.:
    � taglib
    � syntax for looking up JNDI objects (env-entry, ejb-ref, ejb-local-ref, resourceref,
    resource-env-ref)
    See the DTD comments for further description of these elements."

    Additional info...actually the code throws a NamingException.

  • Question on web.xml and login

    Hi all
    I am doing a web-based project, registered user need to log in before they view the member area pages.
    I have created a directory, called "client", in the Tomcat 4.1.24/webapps/ROOT/client I have put a index.html in the client directory. This index.html only can be viewed by the client after log in.
    For the best of my knowledge in Tomcat, in order to do this, I have created a web.xml in Tomcat_home/webaggs/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml, in the url-pattern section, I put /client/* to tell the tomcat server that index.html in client directory is the first page after user login.
    The problem is, I couldnt see the member welcome page after I login as a member, the browser gave me the error: HTTP status 400 - Invalid direct reference to form login page. However, if I specified the address http://localhost:8080/client/index.html , it show me the login page and after I input the username and password I can see the member welcome page.
    I dont know whether is something wrong with the web.xml or I should do other thing to let the server know which is the first page after member login.
    Thank you very much

  • Problems with error-page in web.xml and page caching

    Having a few problems with error pages and web.xml with browsers caching the error pages and strange errors coming out of weblogic.servlet.intenal.WebAppServletContext
    I'm trying to set a web app up so that all http errors and all exceptions are routed thruogh predefined resources. For now, I'm simply send 400 errors to 400.html and the ServletException, IOException and RuntimeException to respective html pages.
    What I'm finding is that the error codes work fine but the exceptions are only be routed to the correct error page for the first call to the servlet after server restart.
    So for example, I have my servlet throwing a ServletException as a test case. The weblogic server log shows that ServletException is thrown, and the correct error page for ServletExceptions is shown.
    If I change the Servlet code to throw IOException in place of SevletException, the weblogic.log shows that IOExceptyion is being thrown (so the servlet has deployed successfully), however the Servletxception error page is shown on the browser.
    I'm using IE6 and I've changed the setting such that a new page is requested every time using the tools-internet options-temp internet files-settings option to "check for new versions of stored pages: Every visit to the page".
    Despite this, the servlet exception error page still appears.
    If you clear the cache from the temp intenet files->delete files IE option, the correct errror page will be shown so it appears that the browser cache is being used after all.
    everytime I delete the temp intenet files I get the correct error page on the first request after but then not after that.
    I have implemented the service method for this test to throw the exceptions - does this make a differecne?
    As a test, I have moved the imlpementation to the doGet method instead bu I now get a strange eror from weblogic comlpaining about an arrayOutOfBoundsException because eror codes in the web.xml are not supported! - see error above.
    Any help is appreciated

    After further investigation: -
    There are no problems with error pages based on error codes, only error exceptions.
    As a test case, I have a service method in a servlet throwing either one of the three exception types that servlets can throw (Runtime, Servlet & IO) the following rules apply. The exception to be thrown is hardcoded and is changed and the web app rebuilt each time. The correct web.xml has been deployed to the app server (checked through console). the webapp is being redeployed correctly - this can be seen in the weblogic log, where the correct exception is reported.
    I am using WLS 8.1, Servlet 2.3, JDK 1.4.1_02
    In all cases, the weblogic log reports that the servlet is throwing the exception as expected.
    Despite having set error-page for exception javax.servlet.ServletException, the exceptions are diverted to the error page that has been set up for http error code 500
    The error page for ServletException is therefore never reached.
    I have the browser set to request pages every time it is asked.
    Once the servlet has thrown an IOException, the only way to get the browser to report an IO or Runtime exception error-page is to clear the browser cache. Restarting the server has no effect.
    Once the servlet has responded with ANY exception, it is not possible to get it to report a ServletException (which is incorrectly reported as a 500 anyway) unless the cache is cleared. Restarting the server has no effect.
    In the case where the servlet throws ServletException, it has no root exception. The servlet 2.3 spec states that if ServletException is thrown but cannot be found in the error pages, the root excpetion will be extracted and the error page list traversed again. Knowing that the RuntimeException error page is correct shown when RuntimeException is throwm, I have nested this inside the ServletException, however error page for http error 500 is still shown.
    I don't believe this is a WLS 8.1 problem, as the console shows that the correct exception is thrown each time. this is backed up by the fact that the correct exception page is thrown when the cache is cleared regardless of what exception was previousdly thrown by the servlet. This excludes ServletException which is always incorrectly thrown as a 500.

  • What is web.xml and why it is used?

    hi,
    am new to servlet technology, i tried to find a topic like this in this fourm also in google but didn't get a exact one. can anybody explain me or suggest me some resource about this.
    thanx in advance.
    Max

    hi stevejluke,
    thanx for the correct link.
    nx for the correct link. but what i in doubt with is
    why we should use web.xml? may be my question is very
    silly, may be too basic, forgive me for that...
    Thanx & Regards,
    SaikatAt the most basic level:
    There are several versions of the Servlet specification, You need the web.xml to tell the server which version of the spec your application conforms to so the server knows how to deal with different things.
    If you have a servlet, you also need the web.xml to define what URL signals a request that should be handled by your servlet.
    At this point, you need to sit down and read a book. Do what it says, blindly at first. Just do what it says (but do try to understand the 'what' of it, just don't question the 'why'). After you have a few applications running, go back and ask yourself this question again and try to see what you are using the web.xml for in those applications you have.
