Tomcat 4 bug in tomcat 5

hi,
What i have:
- eclipse Version: 3.0.0
Build id: 200406251208
- lomboz 3.0.0
- tomcat 5
what i want to do is:
i want to enable jsp-debugging in eclipse using lomboz, so i followed the steps on the objectlearn-website to achieve this.
i changed the context path so every generated servlet goes into the /j2src folder and i can set breakpoints, which is fine, but now i got a problem which should not occur with tomcat 5 because it was a bug in tomcat 4.
------ quote from the sysdeo website ------
Known problem 1 : Tomcat 4 and JSP in project subdirectories
Generated servlets for JSP couldn't be compile by Eclipse. Subdirectories do not appear in Tomcat 4 generates servlets. Package definition is always package org.apache.jsp.
----- end quote ------------
thats exactly the problem i got right now, package definition is always org.apache.jsp, but there is no patch for this problem for tomcat 5, it isnt even mentioned on the website for tomcat 5,
so what is wrong and how can i change this?
thanks in advance, timo

is there nobody here familiar with lomboz and tomcat 5???
if there is somebody in this forum who uses tomcat 5 and lomboz:
did you get the same error like me, i.e. that lomboz automatically throws all generated servlets into the package org.apache.jsp??
if the answer is yes, what did you do to fix this bug, there is no patch for tomcat 5 for this bug, since this bug doesnt seem to exsist officially in tomcat 5 ?!?
if the answer is no, what tomcat-lomboz-environment did you set up? did you follow the guidelines on the objectlearn-website for activating jsp-debugging or did you do something else / more?
damn, i posted this problem in a few forums and i seem to be the only person on the planet having this problem or using this combination...

[Tomcat bug?] Calling response.sendError(404) from JSP

Calling "response.sendError(404);" from JSP context causes Tomcat to mangle all non-latin characters.
Any ideas why?

</web-app>Calling of index.jsp should cause 404 error with custom error page. The error page is utf-8 encoded and contains russian characters. That's by design.
In fact, Tomcat shows ?????? instead Russian variant of "Hello".
Tomcat/5.5.17 or Tomcat/5.0.28.- it does not matter.
Is it Tomcat bug or I should not call response.sendError(404) from JSP?

it's not a tomcat bug, it's rather a problem with
your code.
change index.jsp like the following then test
it !

Thanks for the insight. But the issue here is with the response.sendError() method.

J2EE Tomcat vs. Tomcat

I need some information regarding the integrated Tomcat.
Does it have all features of the full Tomcat ? And can you update it normally from Apache or do you need a special J2EE Tomcat update ?
In short, I need to know if there is any downside to using J2EE Tomcat compared to Full Tomcat.

The J2EE Tomcat is the same as the regular Tomcat. However, keep in mind that Tomcat comes out with patches fairly often, whereas the J2EE reference implementation is pretty stable and no updates are issued unless there is a critical issue. If I'm not mistaken, the integrated Tomcat in the J2EE 1.3 reference implementation is version 4.0 beta 7. If you go to Jakarta's website, you will notice that Tomcat 4.0 is already past beta and at version 4.0.4.

Migrating application from tomcat 3 to tomcat 5

Hello everybody,
Does anyone have information about some kind of manual or tutorial with steps to migrate applications from Tomcat 3 to Tomcat 5??
Thanks a lot,
Johnny

What issues are you having? There have been some important changes between the Servlet and JSP specs between the two but most of these have been additions - nothing that will be too hard to handle.
Does your application use a database? If so there have been configuration changes between Tomcat 3 and 5 but for that the Tomcat 5 docs are very good at telling you what you need.
I would start by trying it and see where you get problems. I think it will be easier than you think, depending on how complicated your app is.

BUG? tomcat & Solaris8 on Sparc

Dear all,
we have encounterd a problem we like to mark as a bug in Solaris8 and or in all versions of Apache Tomcat.
What is te problem and how did we find out?
We upgraded from Solaris7 to Solaris8 a couple of days ago. We started te server and let it run fore a couple of days in test enviroment. No problems to reporte so we switch the Solaris7 and the solaris8 server and where runninf fine the Solaris8 machine as a production server.
After a setting change of Tomcat we suddenly encounterd a lot of crashes from Tomcat whitout any reason. After a day of searing on the web could not find a solution so we put the old version of Tomcat back to the Solaris8 server in the hope that the problem was solved. Then things where getting clear.... Tomcat was still crashing.
What is the problem.
On solaris8 Tomcat is unstabele when you start it from a telnet session. After you kill the telnet session tomcat is trying to write messages to the telnet session and is crashing when that session is gone.
What is the solution.
The solution is simpel use the NOHUP option to start tomcat. like this:
nohup ./tomcat.sh start
Why we think it is a bug.
- The reason we think it is a bug is that this problem was never encounterd in Solaris7.
- A second reason is that we not put new servlets so te bug is not in the software we have written, this software is already running fore a year on Solaris7.
- We think it is a bug in Solaris because the problem is comming up with every version of Tomcat that we tested running on Solaris8.
Are there more people that have encounterd this problem and are there people how think this is not a bug?
Best regards,
Johan Louwers.

This is definitely **NOT** a Solaris bug.
Most likely you've been trapped by a change to the shell that handles SIGHUP protection different in Solaris 8 than in Solaris 7.
Generally, if you run a program in the backgound that does read from stdin and/or write to stdout/stderr you **MUST** redirect stdin/stdout/stderr to some file or /dev/null to avoid funnies and/or screen corruption. Additionally you must protect it from dying on SIGHUP reception if it does not handle it itself. This is what 'nohup' is for. Otherwise your program might die if you exit your shell and/or logout. 'nohup' automagically does i/o redirection for you, BTW.
- What shell are you using?
- SUN people: any comments?

CrossContext Bug on Tomcat?

Has anyone used crossContext successfully on Tomcat 4.1.12? I have not been able to. If you have, could you please let me know what I need to do besides the following:
Set crossContext="true" for contexts in same virtual host in server.xml:
<Context path="" docBase="webapp1" debug="0" crossContext="true"/>
<Context path="/resource" docBase="webapp2" debug="0" crossContext="true"/>
Use the following code in a jsp in webapp1:
<%
ServletContext thatctx= application.getContext("/webapp2");
RequestDispatcher rdpt=thatctx.getRequestDispatcher("/index.jsp");
rdpt.forward(request, response);
%>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How can Tomcat see a Tomcat project created within eclipse

Hi
I used to make web projects using tomcat, and then i found that eclipse allows u to create Tomcat projects.
My question now is that, for the tomcat to see a web project it has to be placed in the webapps folder, but now using eclipse how will the tomcat see this project as it's not placed automatically inside its webapps?
i think there s a specific way to force the tomcat to refer to tomcat projects created from eclipse, right?
can anyone help me with that
thanks in advance

Try configure the server in eclipse. Search for a tutorial about how to register a server within eclipse.

Hope that helps

Tomcat and Apache/Tomcat is the same?

Hello,
I�m new to jsp and somedays ago I asked here a question and the solution was about installing Apache or Apache/Tomcat.
Now, my question is the following.
When I started to learn jsp , what I did were to install Tomcat. After reading some questions in these forums I do not know what is the difference between the installation of Tomcat and the installation of Apache/Tomcat.
What I have done for the moment is to have a server with Apache and another server for my jsp pages with Tomcat....
Does it means that it is possible to integrate two installations in only one server and to run all the pages in the same server? Where can I find information about that?
Thanks a lot and regards,
Patty

Tomcat has an HTTP listener built in, so you don't necessarily need Apache to run Tomcat and serve up HTML, JSP, and servlets.
But if you want to have Apache handle static HTML and forward servlet/JSP requests to Tomcat, there are docs at the Tomcat site to tell you how to bolt Tomcat onto Apache.
The Wrox book "Professional Apache Tomcat" has good instructions, too. I've done it successfully many times. - MOD

Tomcat 6 failing to evaluate EL expressions, Tomcat 6 bug?!!!!

Can someone please tell me this is not a bug in Tomcat 6, its too obvious and to some extend unacceptable I must be doing something wrong.
Here is my problem, I have written my own custom component to display a div tag.
the JSP is as follows:
<faces:view>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
        <title>My Custom Tags</title>
    </head>
    <body>
      <html:form>
      <h2>Cat In The Rain</h2>
      <mine:mytag title="#{index.title}">Dancing in the rain.</mine:mytag>
      </html:form>
    </body>
</html>
</faces:view>The tag class is given below:
This text #{index.title} is being interpreted as Literal text which is obviously wrong, when deployed in glassfish the code works fine.
Output text in my tomcat console is
MyTag.setProperties(): Title is literal text....
MyTag.setProperties(): title value= #{index.title}
MyTag.setProperties(): Title Value expression is null
The Tag class.
public class MyTag extends UIComponentELTag{
private ValueExpression title;
public String getComponentType() {
    return "test.MyOutput";
public String getRendererType() {
    return "test.MyRenderer";
@Override()
protected void setProperties(UIComponent component) {
    super.setProperties(component);
    if (null!= title){
      if (!title.isLiteralText()){
        component.setValueExpression("component.title", title);
        System.out.println("MyTag.setProperties(): Its not literal text.");
        System.out.println("MyTag.setProperties ():              title value = "+ title.getValue(getELContext()));
      else{
        component.getAttributes().put("component.title", title.getExpressionString());
        System.out.println ("MyTag.setProperties(): Title is literal text....");
        System.out.println("MyTag.setProperties():              title value= "+ title.getExpressionString());
    System.out.println ("MyTag.setProperties(): Title Value expression is "+ component.getValueExpression("component.title"));
}The component class.
public class MyOutput extends UICommand{
public MyOutput(){
    setRendererType("test.MyRenderer");
@Override()
public String getFamily() {
    return "test.MyOutput";

Tomcat problem on redhat 9

Hello, i have installed tomcat 4.0.1 in redhat9 and it worked properly for a while, i used to start it and stop it many times ,but now it is listening but not giving a response,the mozilla browser just says "Transfering Data from localhost:8080" and it loops forever, can any one help me please?

Hm. I don't know why a fresh, unmodified version of tomcat hangs. I haven't even added network stuff yet.
My guess is that maybe there are bugs in tomcat that causes this, or that there are bugs in linux itself.
Check out the thread I posted earlier. You may try the ThreadPool patch from that thread.
Plz, if you find anything, tell us in this forum.

Image seems not loading in servlet running in tomcat 4 ... (win xp)

This servlet basically takes a images file do some scaling then send out as outputstream.
BUT the image dun since to load ... i keep getting a -1 for the width n height of the image .... seems that image cant load in tomcat....
Is it something wrong wif my code or is there a bug in tomcat....
Can someone help thanks

hi ganttan
first you have to make sure your server is running xwindow. in most cases a linux/apache server does not run it by default. then there is a much simpler approach of scaling images with a servlet:
Iterator readers = ImageIO.getImageReadersByFormatName("gif");
ImageReader reader = (ImageReader)readers.next();
ImageInputStream iis = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(new File(path));
reader.setInput(iis, true);
ImageReadParam param = reader.getDefaultReadParam();
param.setSourceRenderSize(new Dimension(width, height));
BufferedImage thumbnail = reader.read(0, param);
ImageIO.write(thumbnail, "gif", response.getOutputStream());
however this does not work for jpeg images. use setSourceSampling() instead of setSourceRenderSize() in this case but unfortunately it's limited and you can not scale to any size.

Connection pool + db2 + tomcat 5 migration problem

I succeded in using connection pooling in Tomcat 4.0.x and IBM db2 6.xx and 7.xx.
Now I am trying to use Tomcat 5 (released with netbeans 3.6) and I have some problems.
I migrated the context information from server xml to context xml, but I have a username-password problem
<Context docBase="D:\j2sdk_nb\NetBeans3.6\progetti\Pegaso2" path="/pegaso2" reloadable="true">
<Resource auth="Container" name="jdbc/pegaso61" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>

</Context>
When running my servlets, i get this error:
Exception in PoolDB2Connector.getConnection():org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory, cause: [IBM][CLI Driver] SQL1403N The username and/or password supplied is incorrect. SQLSTATE=08004
So it means ( I think !!) that the web-application i getting the right driver ( i got a db2 error) but is having problem with username and password.
I am using getConnection() method ( with no argouments) in my PoolDB2Connecto class (according to the documentation the getConnection(user,password) method is not supported)
I have a parallel installation of netbeans 3.5.1 (tomcat 4.0.6) with the same parameters (username, password, url...) and is still perfectly working
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Andrea

OK, I found the problem !
It is not due to any configuration issue, but it is due to a BUG in tomcat 5.xx
I reproduced the problem with mysql db server other than db2 db servver.
The problem is the presence of the $ sign in the users' s password !!!!
Probably the xml parser rading server.xml introduce some error finding $ sign.
The problem is still present in the 5.028 version of tomcat.
If i modify user's password REMOVING $ sign, everything is OK
Perhaps $ sign should be escaped (?!?)

Data source error in Tomcat

I have encountered a puzzle question with Tomcat,I setup a DSN with Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers,when I start tomcat with C:\Tomcat5.5\bin\tomcat5w.exe,I get a error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
Then I don't open the page "http://localhost:8080"
But when I start tomcat with C:\Tomcat5.5\bin\tomcat5.exe,I can start tomcat and I don't get above error,and I can visit "http://localhost:8080"
Why I can't start Tomcat with tomcat5w.exe and can start Tomcat with tomcat5.exe?
I am puzzled with this question for a several days! I don't know how to solve it. Any body meet with my question?
Any idea will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance

I use Microsoft Access Database,is it a bug of Tomcat?
