Re: Contexts and Path and Authentication

Excellent. Now I have an elegant plan B in case my current apache-mod_auth_mysql-tomcat-form-based-authentication solution proves impractical. http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-user&m=126047599208053&w=2 Regards, Tony Christopher Schultz wrote: > > securityfilter (http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net)

Re: Contexts and Path and Authentication

SOLVED Also the issue with Multiple Authentication Mechanisms My head is sore from banging it against a wall but I THINK that I have come up with a rather elegant solution. Well its a bit obvious in one way but I suppose I had to go through all the pain first. There was alot of pain. Just to reiter

yes, I was aware of this, as mentioned on a previous mail, but as its neither production ready nor complete it would be a huge risk. I am beginning to think that I am attempting the impossible...

Re: Contexts and Path and Authentication

Hi, FYI just hit another stumbling block which may be of interest to other users. UrlRewriteFilter will not forward any of my requests, even to the sample demo rule for /rewrite-status/ itself! It will, however, redirect perfectly well (when type is changed to type="redirect") meaning that I

Re: Contexts and Path and Authentication

Many thanks Chuck and Ken for the tip. I am surprised that the solution is a 'hack' rather than configuration, but kinda glad that I wasn't losing my marbles. URL Rewriting is probably going to be the easiest way out, I am considering using mod_jk on the apache side so I could get away with using i

Contexts and Path and Authentication

Hi All, I am having tremendous difficulty configuring contexts on tomcat. I've had to split my perfectly working application into two applications as the jsp now requires Form based authentication and the XML components require Http Basic authentication as before. As I've learned the very hard w

Basic and Form Authentication

Hi, Is is possible to have an application that serves content protected by BASIC and FORM based auth? i.e. JSP protected by FORM Servlets that process XML use http BASIC? I could deploy seperate apps for each type but I would then lose access to application specific information e.g. Singletons

Re: Some advice on apache tomcat

Thanks. Squid may be a contender but I need the CMS and blogging that comes with apache/php. Although maybe someday our traffic may get to the point where we will need squid to keep up! Now that would be a good problem to have! Thanks for the pointer. On Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:36 -0800, "Elli Albek"

Re: Java Out of Heap Issue

What I have found works well in some circumstances where you do not have a profiler to hand. 1. Look for static declarations in your code that point to singletons or collection objects. They might just grow and grow 2. You may not be using third party libs correctly, e.g. Not closing connection

Some advice on apache tomcat

Hi, I am in need of some advice. My current setup is a web application running on Jboss which serves static and dynamic content, jsp, servlets and xml on two non load balanced servers (hot spare using mysql replication). It currently uses Http Basic Authentication over SSL. This has
