Tomcat to Web AS

I have deployed my ear file and started the application using the Deploy Tool.
When i try to access the index.jsp page using the link:
http://localhost:50000/max/index.jsp i get the error as below:
<b>The request can't be processed.
Details: Cannot load the requested servlet [max/servlet/jsp.index].</b>
My folder structure seems to be fine and correctly installed under sap.com.
Is there a problem with the path or some other configuration issue needs to be resolved?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
The studio is definitely the better tool, that's what I want to say.
But it shopuld work of course also with Deploy Tool. However, we now need to check where you get lost. There are three possible entry points: The name of the application could be your war files name, the ear files name or it is defined in the descriptors. Did you define the application name there somewhere?
And please check what happens if you only call the path (without calling index.jsp).
Oh yes, another tip:
it seems to search your jsp under /servlet, which means the server may think this is a servlet already. May be you wrote something like that into the descriptors too? Please check those areas.
Regards,
Benny

Error in migrating a Spring/Struts-App from Tomcat to WebAS

I tried migrating a Struts/Spring-App (war) which is running smoothly in Tomcat to WebAS.
Deploying is no problem and the plain JSPs work fine. But the 'real' app is not running and throws the following error at startup:

hi istvan,
we are also migrating from websphere to netweaver.
But in spring framework we r facing problems.
We hav spring-beans.jar file in lib dir of Web Application. But When we are creating BeanFactory from xml as,
BeanFactory beanFactory = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext ("client-config.xml");
clent-config.xml file contains :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

          </property>
     </bean></beans>
But code is giving exception: ClassNotFoundException -org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer.
Wat is the problem ?
Kindly help.
We are also using JAAS for authentication.We are refering above code from our LoginModules login() method.

JNDI differences between Tomcat and Web Logic 6.1

I am looking at two difference piece of code :
Application developed and deployed under Tomcat ( perfectly working )
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context ctx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
// Get a Connection
DataSource pool = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/WebApps");
// Getting connection
con = pool.getConnection();
This is instead an application developed and deployed under Web Logic
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("dbase");
// Connection
con = ds.getConnection();
when i deploy the WL application in Tomcat ( as a WAR file ) I got "dbase name not bound in this context", any guess why this is happening even though I already set up the server.xml :
<Resource auth="Container" name="dbase" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
<ResourceParams name="dbase">
<parameter>
Unfortunately I cannot rewrite the WL code so I need to work on Tomcat
Thanks in advance
Leonardo

Thanks for your reply,
However I think I have not been clear.
This is the situation. We have Web Logic on production and Tomcat on our Intranet.
So I am in need of making the WLogic app working under Tomcat "Without touching the code" of the application. The only thing I can modify at this point is the Tomcat installation. If it's possible.
The only problem I have is with the piece of code of the Data Base Connection. I got "dbase is not bind in this context".

Tomcat vs web.xml

I know it is offtopic, but i just can't find out what to do to tomcat that it must not be restarted each time when I change web.xml. Course only after restarting it applies new params :(
Thanks in advance.

No, as far as I know you have to restart Tomcat to pick up changes to web.xml

Tomcat Server Web Site

Hello All,
I have a web site running on tomcat4.06 server.
Counld any one tell me , how many website's can be run on same IP Address . In IIS it supports up to 255 websites on same ip address.
Please help me
Thank U All.

Well, in theory, since you have 65535 ports available on a PC, you could have that many servers. In reality, no one would. The 255 limit is probably because IIS is developed in a way that it would always share the same processes, although the limitation is probably nothing physical, per se. Most normal PCs wouldn't handle that many sites anyway, it'd be too much data traffic. That many on one server machine would be on high-end, multi-processor machines with lots of memory.
For Tomcat, you can set up multiple Services within a Server (I think only 1 Server is allowed, but multiple Services). The service defines one or more connectors, which would generally be a TCP port for HTTP connections, but would include other protocols (AJP, etc.). Otherwise you'd have to start multiple JVMs, which would be more resource intensive then using one JVM/Tomcat Server with multiple Services, usually. I've never set up multiple Services though.
Of course, you can always have multiple web applications (sites) within one server/service.

Disable automatic context reloading in tomcat on web.xml chaning

Hi all,
is there a way to disable automatical reloading of webapp if web.xml is changed?

It should be enabled in latest tomcat version as I cannot DISABLE it. Reloading on Servlet changing is enbaled by adding reloadable="true" to context-tag in server.xml

Guide to developing SECURE TOMCAT/JSP web apps - ??

Hi,
It would be very useful to have a checklist or guidelines to ensure a JSP/tomcat web site one develops is secure, in particular for the scenario where the web application is not huge/complex &/or is developed by part-time developers. That is I guess I'm generally asking for the easiest way of ensuring one develops a secure JSP/tomcat app.
Q1 - Does anyone know of a tutorial/checklist for ensuring a JSP/tomcat web app is secure? The types of things I'm thinking of include the following items, which I've put forward as specific questions to the mail group in their own right.
Q2 - How do you ensure directory's under doc root can't be viewed? (ie users see a directory listings)
     - is putting in an index.html in each sub-directory a solid answer?
     - can this be handled in one hit via WEB.XML entries? if so an example if possible?
Above and beyond basic User Authentication checking (eg username/password check at beginning of session) what is an easy but secure way of checking -:
Q3 check that user (ie specific) is allowed to access a specific JSP page? (assuming the web app is a totally JSP based solution, ie no controller servlet frontend, ie and that all JSP pages are effectively assessable under docroot). Easy way of doing this?
     eg (a) put specific check at beginning of each JSP page?
     (b) other?
and
Q4 given that a user is allowed to access that JSP page, check that he is allowed to view the data which he has requested? (ie stop people determining how the URL with parameters is constructed and manually changing the parameters - eg changing "http://www.test/test.jsp?id=3", manually "http://www.test/test.jsp?id=4". Easy way of doing this?
     eg (a) put specific check at beginning of JSP page?
     (b) other
Q5 Is it generally acceptable, given appropriate precautions are taken, to setup a web site with all JSP files assessable under doc root, and that the manner in which the user navigates around the application is based on direct calls from the browser to the next JSP page with parameters? (again one concern I have is eg changing "http://www.test/test.jsp?id=3", manually "http://www.test/test.jsp?id=4"). If this is not acceptable what is recommended?
     (a) as above put a specific check at the beginning of the JSP page
     (b) for example having to specifically put a controller servlet as a front end, and then direct to JSP pages which are hidden?
- in this case how can one hide specific directories under doc root?
     (c) other??
Q6. Regarding image security I assume one really does have to store them outside doc root and develop a small "getImage" servlet so that requests to images can be verified to ensure that (assuming the app lets users load images) the end user can't see another user's image?
Q7. Any other general checklist items for a simple JSP/tomcat web site re security one should check for???
Thanks in Advance
Greg

Have you ever looked at the Jakarta struts framework for developing web apps? You could then incorporate your custom designed security both into your own extension of the controller servlet (check if particular user has access to certain pages / actions). You can also design your own custom tags which determine whether a particular user has access to certain parts of the page. You cal also perform additional checks in the actions, to ensure that the user does have access to certain actions (i.e. checking parameters etc.)

Tomcat duplicating web pages

Even though this is a tomcat question, I decided to post here because I frequent this forum more than any other. So here goes....
I created a taglib. The tablib outputs all of the HTML on the page (even the DOCTYPE and HTML..../HTML. It's a complex taglib that does lots of things so the developer doesn't have to.
When run in Websphere, the web apps perform as expected and the taglib works great.
We recently decided to try Tomcat. The first thing we noticed was that the pages of the web app were being repeated or duplicated (everything). It's as if Tomcat was simply running the servelet multiple times. Here's the odd thing. The first time the page is drawn, it looks fine. Then you hit the refresh button, again fine. Hit it again, and the web page is duplicated. Hitting refesh again and the web page is duplicated yet again (and again and again for each refresh) and even stranger is that the items on the page that the tags draw (such as links, etc., are all duplicated as well - making each addition duplicate page larger and larger) How strange is this? I'd offer up a picture to show an example, but I don't have any place to store it on the web. (Where is GFiles or GStorage or GBox?)
I've tried pragma co-cache, tried page buffer=false, and everything else I can think of relating to caching or buffering. Nothing works.
All of the example JSPs including the taglib examples work just fine, so it must be something wrong I did in my taglib.
Any ideas?

User profiles. Tomcat's web authentication

hi all ! I dont know if this has an easy implementation in JAVA.
My webapp can have one user with different profiles, lets say administrative and manager. So one user could access both restricted areas in my program.
The users/pass are saved in a Database and make use of Tomcat's user authentication
So far Im just able to save one profile per user and I would like to know the best way to do it the way I want.
Thanks for the help.

ok thanks for the clarification thats what I used when I first set up the form authentication.
Still I have problems to give the users more than one role even if it seems to be permited.
So for example for a user role I use: Gerencia,Administracion and both roles are valid separately
I get when when used toguether "Access denied".
Thanks for the help.

Apache Web Server & Tomcat Join

Hai all
i learnto Tomcat is not a web server where u can use it as Web and Aplication server. we need to use Apache Web server and connect it to Tomcat this is the only good way of using tomcat as web server.
i have new version of Apache Web Server and Tomcan can anybody give me the steps to connect both into one ?
please help me
thankyou
Rajesh

It depends on the complexity of your application, you may not need Apache server. Tomcat by itself should do the job. And yes, Tomcat is a web server.
Hope this helps.

Remote Memory Profiling Web App on Tomcat/Linux?

Is there a straightforward set of instructions somewhere for setting up JDev, Tomcat, the Web App, etc for remote memory profiling a web application running on a Tomcat installation on Linux? (JDev is on a Windows box)
Thanks!
Jim

'Cmon Team JDeveloper - in a matter of a few hours, I was able to download and setup NetBeans and start remote profiling my JDeveloper-developed web app on Tomcat. Surely somebody knows how to do this with JDeveloper!?
I'm a long-time JDeveloper user and a very vocal proponent of the tool - I pains me to have to use another tool to do what JDeveloper should clearly be able to do. Heck, I'm willing to help document the process if someone can just help get me going on this.

How can I port an existing Tomcat (JSP) application in SAP Netweaver 2004s

Hi All,
I want to port an existing JSP application (using Tomcat as Web server) in SAP Web AS 6.40.
Please any one suggest me.
Eagerly looking forward to your reply......
Thanks and Regards
Avijit Dhar

Hi,
The maximum number of work processes depends on several things like the below.
1) Majorly on Your primary Memory
2) Hardware capacity
3) Operating systems
4) SAP version as well...
You need to calculate the work processes with your primary memory.
Every work process should take 150 mb space on memory.. so you need to increase the work processes that should be campatible with your primary memory.
And please read the OSS notes as suggested by our frnds then go ahead with your rquirement.

Problem with JNDI and JSP in Tomcat

Hi,
Basically, what I've done is to use the Tomcat administration web
application to create the DataSource, which looks like it populated the
server.xml (see below). I then try to access the testconn.jsp, and am
getting that "Name java:comp is not bound in this Context" error.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,

Hi,
First of all, you can find alot of information about this in the forum about jsp's.
I think a good thing to do is not to put your context tag directly into the server.xml file.
What you should do is create a context.xml file with the context-tag in it, and put it in the META-INF directory of your .war file. Upon deployment to tomcat5 this file will be extracted from the war, copied to the conf\enginename\hostname directory, and it will be renamed to contextName.xml.
I think you are developing directly into the webapps directory, and I believe you should avoid that and use the deployment feature of the manager web-app or you should use the deployertool from you ide or standalone ant.
anyway, for starters try to remove the context tag from the server.xml file as described above, and check out the jsp / jdbc forums for simular problems and answers.
good luck

Save webi report as pdf programmatically

Does anyone has any SDK code sample or can point me to the location of code sample on how to save a webi report as PDF file programmatically? Also, is the ReportEngineSDK is sufficient for this task or I need some other SDK?
We are running XIr2 SP1 on Windows Server 2003, with Tomcat as web container.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hi,
I think Using ReportEngine SDK you would not be able to save the webi report in PDF format.However it could be possible if you schedule a webi report to PDF format to unmanaged disk.
You can refer the following tutorials given in developer library's BusinessObjects Enterprise SDKs. You can either use .NET or Java SDKs.
How to schedule a report to a destination (FTP, SMTP, Disk, Printer, Inbox)
How to schedule and view Web Intelligence documents

Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for your suggestion. your point about the folders could be right.
Because for some reason, the folders org, org/apache, org/apache/grp under:
/usr/local/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/FTPSchedulerWeb/
were not getting created. And so we manually created them and attached them to the necessary group, to get proper file permissions.
But my doubt still remains as to why those folders were not created. Well there is one point I want to ask here, in teh Tomcat server web.xml file, the following code is not present:
<webapp>
��
��.
��.
<servlet>
        <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.jspx</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
��..
��.
��.
</webapp>Could that be a possible reason as to why the server is unable to create those folders? Well, I do not know the actual reason. Please let me know what possibly could be the reason for this problem.
Thanks a lot for your help!!
