Load WARs Via The Manager App
Hi All, I have some questions about deploying WARs using Tomcat's built in manager. It seems that some of the times when we use the manager via a web browser to deploy a new WAR file it will only partially install. Meaning that the manager will return a list of the installed applications and it will show our new application installed but the 'Display Name' is blank, even though there is a Display Name set in the application's web.xml. Also, at this point, if I try to hit the application it will return an error and if I go and look at the expanded WAR on the file system it will be missing files. If I then undeploy and reploy the same WAR it will usually get installed correctly, though I've had times where I've had to reinstall again to get everything done correctly. Does anyone know why this is? Or, does anyone have a better way if deploying applications? What are the recommendations for deployment in production environments? My guess is that Tomcat is trying to deploy the WAR file before it's fully been copied over. In our server.xml we have autoDeploy set to true (as well as unpackWARs) Here's a run down of our environment: Our dev and test boxes are Suse Linux 8 (2.4 kernel, I know, we're working towards upgrading to the 2.6 kernel) with Apache 2.0.55 talking to Tomcat 5.5.9 via mod_jk 1.2.12. I should note that when I'm using the manager, I bypass Apache and mod_jk and go directly to tomcat via the 8080 port. Our production environment is Suse Linux 8 with two apaches talking to two clustered tomcats via mod_jk. All versions are the same as dev/test. Thanks, Scott
RE: Load WARs Via The Manager App
Yeah I stop the webapp and undeploy it before doing the redeploy so I don't think this is the issue. Unless the sessions are still persistent even after I've undeployed, which I don't think is the case. -Original Message- From: Martin Gainty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 9:37 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Load WARs Via The Manager App I know you cant deploy a webapp (when there are active sessions on the original webapp) so If you stop the webapp then re-deploy the webapp you should be abe to redeploy correctly M- * This email message and any files transmitted with it contain confidential information intended only for the person(s) to whom this email message is addressed.

RE: Question
Hi Miriam,
We had the same problem here. Our LDAP authentication was working up to
version 5.5.12 but broke on anything above it. I finally got it fixed
and I'll show you what we had previously and what we have now.
WORKED WITH 5.5.12 AND BELOW:
ldap://ldap.bc.com";
roleBase=""

roleSearch="(uniqueMember={0})"
roleSubtree="true"
userPattern="uid={0},ou=users,dc=bc,dc=com"
userSearch="(uid={0})"
userSubtree="true"

WORKS WITH LATEST TOMCAT:

To whom it may concern,
I am connecting to LDAP using Tomcat 5.5.12 and everything is fine.
However, when I change over to Tomcat 5.5.16, I can no longer connect to
LDAP because of a binding error. The error I see is included in this
email. The cause of my problem is due to a change made to the JNDIRealm
class, the getUserByPattern(). The change made ( I don't think) has not
been documented in the change log html. Two lines of code have been
removed from the above class and method. Basically, can you tell me why
the change was made and also can you tell me is there a complimentary
change I need to make to my code, to get the LDAP to work.
Any help you can give me would be really appreciated.
Regards
Miriam

RE: how to install php on tomcat?
A better idea would be to put Apache in from of Tomcat and compile PHP into that.

A PHP servlet can be built from source in PHP4; last time I looked that feature wasn't in PHP5. But I haven't looked in quite a while :-) The PHP4 servlet worked, but wasn't all that stable, in my limited experience. And when it crashed it took the whole JVM with it, so I didn't think it suitable for production. YMMV.

An easier way to do it would be to add it in your $CATALINA_OPTS variable. So get rid of the extra stuff you added and instead add the '-server' to $CATALINA_OPTS.

RE: Data Sources Overwritten
Chris, Using your method of including the context within the application how do you adjust for different environments (dev vs production)? Different WARs? How we do it now is have a context.xml.default included in the conf/Catalina/NameOfYourHostInServer.xml/ directory where the JNDI datasource is defined. That way we can take the exact same WAR that was deployed on dev and deploy it to production (since they point to different DBs and thus have different datasources). Scott -Original Message- From: Christopher Schultz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 10:35 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Data Sources Overwritten -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Jeff, You have not followed my suggestions: 1. Remove all JNDI datasource information from server.xml and never put it back in. 2. Use a META-INF/context.xml file and bundle it into your WAR file for deployment. context.xml should include 100% of the JNDI data source configuration that you need for your app. Consider using and specifying everything instead of trying to use /and/ . 3. Stop using the Manager to do anything at all. This will allow your application to setup its own data source instead of relying on the server to have it ready to go before deployment. Re-deployments will re-setup the connection, just as it was intended. This is all documented (poorly, I might add), on this page: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.h tml Under "MySQL DBCP Example / 2. server.xml configuration", replace the direction to put the configuration "into server.xml inside your element" with "into context.xml inside your element". - -chris Jeffrey C.
