| 00:03.29 | DarkStorm | damn i solved my problem yassine |
| 00:03.48 | yassine | coool congratulates you man |
| 00:03.51 | DarkStorm | i had the native APR 1.0.0 installed while my tomcat required 1.0.3... but i removed the aprlifecycle listener and so i didn't get any error messages for it |
| 00:03.53 | yassine | what was the issue ? |
| 00:04.09 | yassine | great :) |
| 00:04.38 | DarkStorm | Not so great since the comment in the server configuration only says those listeners are required for the admin tool (which i dont use). not for APR error messages :-) |
| 00:04.52 | DarkStorm | Well anyway... Another problem solved and i guess this explains the slow startup of my server |

| 01:46.19 | malegria | hi. i just installed tomcat and it seems to work. (with http://localhost:8180/). in an how to for a cms it says that i have to change stuff in /opt/tomcat5/. but it doesn't exist. what did i do wrong? (i'm working with ubuntu dapper drake) |
| 01:47.32 | yassine | malegria, how did you installed tomcat ? |
| 01:47.45 | malegria | using synaptic |
| 01:48.28 | yassine | i mean did you use the ubuntu package ? |
| 01:48.47 | yassine | or the official package from tomcat.apache.org |
| 01:49.06 | malegria | yes, i think so. the ubuntu one. the one i get with synaptic... |
| 01:49.19 | malegria | what ist the /opt/ folder? |
| 01:49.27 | malegria | its empty |
| 01:49.31 | yassine | can you give me a url to your howto ? |
| 01:50.00 | malegria | http://72.14.221.104/search?q=cache:-UCjuWt_LHcJ:docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/MiRInstallDebia&hl=de&lr=&strip=1 (google cache because the server is down) |
| 01:50.27 | malegria | it says: edit /opt/tomcat5/conf/tomcat-users.xml |
| 01:50.46 | yassine | i see |
| 01:51.02 | malegria | and # chmod +x /opt/tomcat5 |
| 01:52.12 | malegria | on the local tomcat homepage it says: $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml looks similar |
| 01:52.26 | yassine | you need to find out first where does synaptic installes tomcat |
| 01:53.07 | yassine | you can run this : find / -name catalina.sh -print |
| 01:55.18 | malegria | $CATALINA_HOME is /usr/share/tomcat5 |
| 01:56.26 | malegria | btw: how can i define the variables ($CATALINA_HOME and $TOMCAT_HOME) permanently? in the .bshrc? but how? |
| 01:56.41 | yassine | yes |
| 01:56.46 | malegria | /usr/share/tomcat5/bin/catalina.sh |
| 01:56.49 | yassine | in the .bashrc |
| 01:57.01 | malegria | what do i have to put there? |
| 01:57.07 | yassine | okay now your $CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat5 |
| 01:57.11 | *** part/#tomcat webben (n=benjamin@82.152.176.52) |
| 01:57.31 | yassine | malegria, may i suggest you somthing? |
| 01:57.36 | malegria | sure |
| 01:58.00 | yassine | deinstall that crap and download it from the apache.org unpack it in the /opt/ |
| 01:58.13 | yassine | and you're okay |
| 01:58.19 | malegria | thats the "normal" way? |
| 01:58.36 | yassine | most of people here do it so |
| 01:58.39 | malegria | ok |
| 01:58.47 | yassine | ist easier |
| 01:58.56 | malegria | can you tell me what to put in the .bashrc? |
| 01:58.57 | yassine | and you keep overview on your install |
| 02:00.39 | malegria | would it be this: CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat4; export CATALINA_HOME |
| 02:00.46 | malegria | oops, CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat5; export CATALINA_HOME |
| 02:01.01 | malegria | and TOMCAT_HOME=$CATALINA_HOME; export TOMCAT_HOME |
| 02:02.59 | yassine | no just do export CATALINA_HOME=/path../ |
| 02:04.14 | malegria | then echo $CATALINA_HOME should give me the path right? it's empty... |
| 02:04.21 | yassine | no |
| 02:04.32 | yassine | export | grep CATALINA |
| 02:08.19 | malegria | ok, thanks |
| 02:52.31 | malegria | using ant i get "Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4 .1-1.4.2.0/lib/tools.jar" --> ideas? |

| 12:57.49 | champi_ | hello |
| 12:58.11 | champi_ | is it possible to reload a webapp from an external java program? |
| 13:00.59 | champi_ | i explain; i hae a program that update xml config file for my webapp |
| 13:01.34 | champi_ | and this config file are loaded at startup of my webapp |
| 13:02.11 | champi_ | so i would like that at the end of my config updater program, it reload the webapp |
| 13:02.19 | champi_ | is it possible |
| 13:02.24 | swente | champi_: there's some ways to solve that. but i've not needed/done this before. |
| 13:03.24 | swente | champi_: i'm not sure if it would be sufficient to "touch" the apps web.xml after changing the config (if autoreload is true, this might restart the context) |
| 13:04.15 | yassine | morning * |
| 13:04.29 | champi_ | no, autoreload is already set to true |
| 13:04.35 | swente | hi yassine |
| 13:04.42 | yassine | heya swente :) |
| 13:04.45 | swente | champi_: so you change web.xml from your app? |
| 13:05.58 | champi_ | no i change another xml file that is loaded by the webapp, not by tomcat |
| 13:06.28 | swente | champi_: then changing that file won't trigger tomcat to restart the context afaik. touching web.xml might do it. |
| 13:06.40 | swente | yassine: do you know how to make tomcat restart a webapp? |
| 13:06.54 | swente | yassine: (externally) |
| 13:07.06 | yassine | mean reloading ? |
| 13:07.42 | yassine | via the manager appication |
| 13:08.03 | swente | yassine: not from a browser, but another app or the commandline |
| 13:08.23 | swente | yassine: doesn't tomcat restart an app if web.xml was changed (/touched)? |
| 13:08.38 | yassine | im sure you can see how the manager application achieve that and you can pass that parameter to the server |
| 13:08.53 | yassine | yes |
| 13:09.16 | swente | champi_: i'd sugget trying to 'touch' web.xml |
| 13:09.20 | yassine | swente, when a change occure in the web.xml and autoReload="true" that should happen |
| 13:09.37 | swente | yassine: does it "compare" or simply act on changed (touched) file? |
| 13:09.41 | champi_ | i can't do that |
| 13:10.06 | swente | hmmm |
| 13:10.09 | champi_ | this would surcharge my web.xml with a lot of data |
| 13:10.12 | yassine | swente, im not sure but i think it act on changed |
| 13:10.32 | yassine | champi_, no need to write real data inside your web.xml |
| 13:10.40 | swente | champi_: "surcharge"? i just mean after changing your data.xml, you can "touch" the web.xml |
| 13:10.51 | champi_ | i will see the manager webapp source, and look if i can apply that to my problem |
| 13:10.56 | swente | champi_: after "touching" i hope tomcat will restart the app |
| 13:11.01 | yassine | juts a comment line <!-- date of last reload --> |
| 13:12.12 | champi_ | what do you mean by touching? just updating the modified date of the file? |
| 13:12.16 | swente | champi_: yes |
| 13:12.56 | champi_ | it's seems to be a good idea, i will try that... thanks |
| 13:13.25 | swente | champi_: at least it's pretty simple, so i hold my thumbs that it'll be sufficient |
| 13:14.31 | champi_ | I will say you if it's sufficient... see you later |
| 13:14.40 | yassine | good luck |
| 13:16.11 | champi_ | Oups ! |
| 13:16.51 | champi_ | I do not have think to it, but my program isn't launch on the same host |
| 13:17.01 | champi_ | no access to web.xml |
| 13:19.11 | champi_ | so I come back to the idea of yassine, and will see manager source code ... |
| 13:19.28 | yassine | mhh |
| 13:20.11 | yassine | champi_, you can try to estabilish a kind of http session and pass the needed parameter |
| 13:20.23 | swente | champi_: ok, if you want to do it remotely, you could call the URL which the manager-app uses to reload some context. |
| 13:20.34 | swente | champi_: authentication might be some hazzle |
| 13:20.36 | yassine | he need to authenticate |
| 13:20.41 | yassine | yes |
| 13:20.51 | yassine | but that should not be hard to achieve |
| 13:21.25 | swente | it's one more request and the need to parse the response of the first request to get the sessionid (which has to be included in the 2nd) |
| 13:23.37 | champi_ | ok ! I will explore this solution ... |

| 18:17.47 | jeromatron | I guess a secondary question with that is, if you have deployed a war file and you change a jsp in the exploded directory, will that newer jsp file ever get overwritten by tomcat? |

| 18:33.34 | jeromatron | kesV: thanks... only when updated...even if tomcat restarts? Just trying to cover the bases. |

| 18:59.15 | jbalint | hey |
| 18:59.32 | jbalint | I tried to add something to the mod_jk part of your site, but it seems it's the same page as the howtos? |
| 19:00.05 | yassine | let me see |

| 20:53.26 | twinge | so which module is recommended these days for connecting apache to tomcat? mod_jk? |
| 20:54.44 | twinge | mod_jk2? |
| 20:55.03 | finkployd | mod_jk |
| 20:55.05 | finkployd | I believe |
| 20:55.08 | twinge | mod_webapp? |
| 20:55.09 | twinge | ok |
| 20:55.14 | finkployd | at least that is what I have had the best luck with |
| 20:56.16 | twinge | finkployd: ever tried just using mod_proxy? |
| 20:59.03 | finkployd | won't work for me, I generally use mod_jk because I want a servlet to be protected by an apache auth module and mod_proxy doesn't pass environment variables |
| 20:59.10 | finkployd | so I have no experience with it |
| 20:59.19 | twinge | ok |
| 21:01.54 | twinge | finkployd: happen to know where to get an RPM for it? the jakarta site always gets me going in circles |
| 21:02.14 | finkployd | nope, I just build it |
| 21:02.19 | twinge | k |
| 21:02.36 | finkployd | actually that is not even accurate, I built it once long ago and just keep copying it from machine to machine as needed :) |
| 21:03.35 | twinge | hahah |

| 22:04.24 | yassine | heya jasonb |
| 22:28.10 | jasonb | hi yassine. |
| 22:28.26 | yassine | hey jasonb how are you doing :) |
| 22:28.43 | jasonb | I'm basically back to normal, thankfully. I feel way, way better. |
| 22:29.07 | yassine | fine i was wondering where you have been at the last days |
| 22:29.08 | yassine | :) |
| 22:31.36 | yassine | i jasonb did you saw my question of yesterday ? |
| 22:33.32 | jasonb | I have been way busy the last couple of days. |
| 22:33.45 | jasonb | Sometimes I need to be completely off of IRC to get other stuff done. :) |
| 22:33.54 | yassine | i did assumed that too |
| 22:34.01 | jasonb | yassine: No, I did not even see your question from yesterday. What was it? |
| 22:34.31 | yassine | i was wondering if i can add something like this into a web.xml of my war |
| 22:35.42 | yassine | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:35.42 | yassine | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:35.42 | yassine | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:35.42 | yassine | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:35.44 | yassine | oups |
| 22:44.06 | jasonb | Well, a web.xml parser does not do any shell environment variable substitution at all.. so $CATALINA_HOME would be used literally. |
| 22:44.20 | jasonb | (don't know if that's what you'd want or not) |
| 22:44.37 | yassine | yes |
| 22:44.45 | yassine | i wanted it to be substituded |
| 22:45.10 | jasonb | But, yes, there is such a thing as context parameters.. name/value pairs that you can set in the context itself. |
| 22:45.16 | *** join/#tomcat [a]tomi (n=chatzill@pool-71-104-69-181.lsanca.dsl-w.verizon.net) |
| 22:46.28 | jasonb | Another way to do properties is to set a context param that stores the path to a regular .properties file, and have one of your servlets read the properties file on webapp startup. |
| 22:47.11 | jasonb | The properties file could be anywhere, but it's easiest to place it in WEB-INF/classes/ because then you can load it via the class loader. |
| 22:47.42 | jasonb | If you implement it just right, you could perform some variable substitution in a properties file like that. |
| 22:47.55 | yassine | aha okay thanks you |
| 22:48.06 | jasonb | It would be more like catalina.properties.. you'd put ${catalina.home} and that would get substituted. |
