Hi, Where can i find a very good documentation or tutorial/video about users and roles for tomcat 7.x ? i'm new and i must say i'm a little bit confused :( thx -- Alain --- Windows 7 x64 / Fedora 17 x64 MySQL 5.5.28 Apache 2.4.3 / OpenSSL 1.0.1c Tomcat 7.17 PHP 5.4.8 -- Alain --- Windows 7 x64 / Fedora 17 x64 MySQL 5.5.28 Apache 2.4.3 / OpenSSL 1.0.1c Tomcat 7.17 PHP 5.4.8

I tried to run under local system account, and my account, which can open MS WORD, behavior is the same - where is the document that you are trying to open ? on a local disk of the Tomcat host, or on a network drive ? The file is on local HDD of tomcat host, outside of program files directory. - what version of Java is running Tomcat ? a 32-bit or 64-bit version ? It is Windows 7 64 bit release. Well, then you are probable having exactly the kind of problem that is described in the Microsoft KB article. And there is nothing that the people on the Tomcat list can do to help. It is not a problem related to Tomcat or Java. It is a problem related to running Microsoft Office "Interop" modules in the context of a Windows Service. As an easy way to verify this : Instead of running Tomcat as a Service, run it as an application in a command window. For that, you will need to download the "zip" version of tomcat, and unzip it in your Tomcat directory (or somewhere else). Then use the "startup.bat" file to start Tomcat as an application in the console. And then try your application again. It then it works without problems, it confirms the diagnostic above. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Depending on how those resources are really exposed, the usual answer is yes. Sometimes those resources are really exposed using web services or JMS queues, in which case the standard means of accessing those resources is the same as it would be if they were not on a mainframe.

Re: Tomcat 6.0 CLASSPATH query
I have read the Tomcat 6.0 classloader documentation(below link), from this what i understood is that the "classes/jar/resource/properties file" get loaded from the following locations 1.Bootstrap classes of your JVM ($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext). 2.System class loader classes ( Add bootstrap.jar & tomcat-juli.jar to CLASSPATH variable) 3.Common class loader classes ( refers $CATALINA_BASE/lib & $CATALINA_HOME/lib ) & uses $CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.properties 4. /WEB-INF/classes of your web application 5. /WEB-INF/lib/*.jar of your web application The thing which is still puzzling me is that how my "resource/properties files" get loaded to Tomcat CLASSPATH when i add them to "$CATALINA_BASE/bin" directory & When i move the same files to $CATALINA_BASE/conf directory then it doesn't get added to Tomcat CLASSPATH. My deployed applications need"properties/resource files ", Can someone please help me in understand the optimal way of adding these files to Tomcat CLASSPATH.

If the resources are application - specific, you don't need to do this at all. Just add the files to your local application. In Maven, there's a special directory for that: src/main/resources In NetBeans, I normally create a separate package for all of my configuration files. I think in Eclipse you'll have to make a subdirectory under WEB-INF/classes and copy the files there. That's unpleasant. Eclipse will include that in the build of the WAR file when you do an "export". Then, just do the following in your code to reference the resource. InputStream in = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(configfile); Where configfile is the complete classpath to your resource. This is nice. It works in exploded WARs, it works in WAR files, it works in JARs. No mucking about with CLASSPATH. No polluting other applications or Tomcat with spurious application - specific resources. This enables you to run several copies of the same web application in the same container, all with different configurations. Just search for getResourceAsStream() for more explanation.

Thanks Mark for your valuable suggestions. But in my project i have a requirement to share one "resource/properties file " across 10 applications deployed on single tomcat instance We cannot afford to add the same properties file to all archives as its contents keep changing. Another restriction which i have is that i cannot place any file under "$CATALINA_HOME" directories , these are read only for us.

Properties files to be read by web applications 2. 10 web applications on one Tomcat instance 3. All 10 web applications read identical files 4. Property files change frequently 5. $CATALINA_HOME and $CATALINA_BASE are read-only 6. $CATALINA_BASE/lib and $CATALINA_BASE/bin are read-only In the future it would be a good idea to list all of your requirements and restrictions
Re: Tomcat 6.0 CLASSPATH query
Thanks Mark Sorry for the confusion i created related to my requirements. 5 Out of 6 requirements you stated below are correct. The last point i.e $CATALINA_BASE is writable. I can manipulate/write files to this location.
