| 00:43.39 | swente | chrismon: isn't it called "allowLinking" instead of "allowLinks"? |
| 00:50.23 | yassine | anyone of you guys works with filters ? or created a filter for his application ? |
| 01:23.46 | jasonb | chrismon: Then you either have a permissions problem, or you have a deployment problem, or both. |
| 01:24.13 | jasonb | chrismon: When you have no permission nor deployment issue, it *does* actually work. |
| 01:35.41 | yassine | jasonb, do you have like 5 min for someone going insane ? |

| 02:04.24 | jasonb | yassine: I do now. |
| 02:04.49 | jasonb | yassine: What's going on? |
| 02:04.49 | yassine | jasonb, i created a filter |
| 02:05.08 | *** join/#tomcat vinse (n=vinse@208.253.223.146) |
| 02:05.46 | yassine | which gets a parameter from the request |
| 02:05.46 | jasonb | ok. And? |
| 02:05.46 | yassine | than calls an other url gets a file |
| 02:05.53 | yassine | process the file data |
| 02:06.17 | jasonb | Is the URL to get the file a request to the same Tomcat instance? |
| 02:06.18 | yassine | depending on it contents i do set the an attribute on the session like this : |
| 02:06.48 | yassine | anHttpServletRequest.getSession().setAttribute("username",username); |
| 02:07.16 | yassine | wenn the user submits a second request |
| 02:08.09 | yassine | i check if the username == null and if his parameter==null so he is not authenticated |
| 02:08.28 | yassine | but for some reasons the username is alway null |
| 02:08.47 | jasonb | parameter in the session? |
| 02:09.03 | jasonb | oh. |
| 02:09.09 | jasonb | I think I know what you mean. |
| 02:09.09 | yassine | no |
| 02:09.42 | jasonb | Okay, I may know what your problem is. |
| 02:10.11 | jasonb | You have to send a session cookie when you authenticate your user. |
| 02:11.34 | jasonb | When using container-managed auth (you aren't), the container sends the browser a cookie when the user authenticates successfully, and the cookie contains the session ID. |
| 02:12.22 | jasonb | Then, on the second request, the browser sends the cookie back, and that is how the container matches the second request up with the first one... and the session. |
| 02:12.40 | jasonb | So, for your custom auth, your Filter must send the browser a session cookie similiarly. |
| 02:13.20 | jasonb | If you don't send a session cookie, then the browser's second request isn't associated with anything, and a call to getSession() actually creates a brand new session object. |
| 02:13.24 | jasonb | (which isn't what you want to do) |
| 02:13.38 | jasonb | In that case, anything you try to get out of the new (empty) session is just null. |
| 02:13.53 | jasonb | Does that solve your mystery? :) |
| 02:16.13 | yassine | i think so |
| 02:16.22 | jasonb | Good. |
| 02:16.45 | yassine | one question |
| 02:17.59 | yassine | when i seta cookie with the session id created so the session remains available and when the user requests a new request i check that cookie and see the session objekt that match for my data ? |
| 02:19.04 | jasonb | Yes. |
| 02:19.54 | jasonb | It has been a long time since I wrote my own custom authentication, but I seem to remember that if you use the exact same session cookie name that Tomcat uses, Tomcat will do that part for you. |
| 02:20.04 | jasonb | But, I'm not sure. |
| 02:22.50 | jasonb | Your Filter can keep a HashMap of session references, and when the request comes in you could look up the session reference by the session ID string.. |
| 02:23.19 | yassine | ahh |
| 02:23.39 | yassine | like they do in the SingleSigneOn Vlave of tomcat ? |
| 02:24.07 | yassine | ui have seen such technic in the code |
| 02:24.09 | jasonb | Maybe |
| 02:25.13 | yassine | wait i have the part here one sec |
| 02:50.27 | chrismon | jason, still around? |
| 02:50.39 | chrismon | its not a permission problem |
| 02:50.48 | chrismon | so i'm not sure how to ascertain if its a deployment problem |
| 02:50.57 | chrismon | (other than a configuration problem) |
| 02:51.06 | chrismon | (i.e. *where* does the directive go?!) |
| 03:02.35 | oxblood | Where do babies, I mean sessions, come from? :) |

| 03:05.42 | chrismon | if that's a legitimate question, you have to be more specific |
| 03:05.55 | chrismon | what creates session objets? |
| 03:07.04 | oxblood | Well, I was merely questioning the process of how session (objects) are created, retrieved, and used by the container. |
| 03:07.28 | oxblood | It seems to me it's just a maze of Maps here and there. |
| 03:08.05 | chrismon | the best way to answer this is to get the tomcat source |
| 03:08.15 | chrismon | grep for "new HttpSession" |
| 03:08.40 | oxblood | Uh oh, there goes another sleepless night. |
| 03:08.52 | chrismon | that'd take you a whole night? |

| 03:11.11 | oxblood | I was wondering if there's an article that walks people through that process. |

| 03:12.48 | yassine | :) |
| 03:13.08 | jasonb | chrismon: I only have a few minutes right now, but, what you should do is just configure your webapp's Context in server.xml. |
| 03:13.37 | jasonb | chrismon: Turn off autoDeploy on your Context's Host element.. set autoDeploy="false". |
| 03:13.37 | chrismon | ok i've tried that |
| 03:13.48 | chrismon | why turn off autodeploy? |
| 03:14.11 | chrismon | also, the 5.5 reference says to use META-INF/context.xml in lieu of conf/server.xml |
| 03:14.11 | jasonb | Because if you're configuring your context in server.xml, you don't want the webapp to be duplicately deployed by the autodeployer, that's why. |
| 03:14.20 | jasonb | Do not do that. |
| 03:14.27 | jasonb | You can either take my advice or theirs. |
| 03:14.30 | jasonb | Not both. |
| 03:14.33 | chrismon | he |
| 03:14.34 | chrismon | h |
| 03:14.55 | chrismon | is the autodeployer causing a problem for what I'm tryingt o do? |
| 03:15.35 | chrismon | also, can you repaste the XML you posted before? |
| 03:15.37 | jasonb | It may very well be doing exactly that. |

| 03:16.17 | jasonb | Also, on your Context's Host element, set deployOnStartup="false". |
| 03:16.38 | chrismon | i've done the plopping earlier to no avail |
| 03:17.04 | jasonb | Make sure you set both deployOnStartup="false" and autoDeploy="false". |
| 03:17.10 | jasonb | (on the Host) |
| 03:17.56 | jasonb | When you restart Tomcat, make absolutely sure that you have indeed restarted the JVM process.. like, observe that your OS says that there are *no* "java" processes running, then and only then start Tomcat. |
| 03:18.27 | jasonb | If you do all that, and if you are 100% sure there is no permissions problem and the link does point where you think it points, then it *will* work. |

| 04:03.57 | jasonb | Really, then, it shouldn't matter. |
| 04:04.14 | jasonb | chrismon: Okay, confusing statements above, so tell me where you are with this, and put your server.xml up on a paste server. |
| 04:04.26 | chrismon | i think, docBase and path migth be the problem at the moment |
| 04:04.39 | jasonb | Some part of your config sure is. |
| 04:04.41 | chrismon | the only changes I've made to the stock server.xml are the ones you told me |
| 04:04.57 | jasonb | Okay, but I need to see how your Host and Context are configured. |
| 04:05.05 | chrismon | when i put in the loading-related changes, I cannot see any of the apps |

| 04:09.47 | chrismon | docBase is correct |
| 04:10.02 | chrismon | ok... |
| 04:10.15 | chrismon | when i turn off the deploy attributes, I cannot get to any apps |
| 04:10.33 | jasonb | The second one generates its own Context based on the default settings in conf/context.xml.. and that generated one does not have allowLinking="true". |
| 04:10.35 | chrismon | tomcat cats acts bizzare by not complaining and giving blank pages for any URL |

| 04:33.56 | chrismon | or was that automatically done by the stock <Host> directive? |
| 04:34.05 | chrismon | and the *deploy*="false" took care of it? |
| 04:34.46 | jasonb | It was starting due to the stock settings of deployOnStartup="true" and autoDeploy="true". |

| 05:34.07 | chrismon | jason, i'm heading to sleep. thanks for you're help so far. I'll ping you tomorrow.... |
| 05:34.50 | jasonb | chrismon: I have the answer. |
| 05:34.54 | jasonb | (if you want it) |
| 05:36.09 | jasonb | My allowLinking XML I gave you for server.xml is correct, and works, but only for Tomcat 4.1. :( |
| 05:36.23 | jasonb | For Tomcat 5.5 (and presumeably for 5.0), it has to be like this: |
| 05:36.25 | jasonb | <Context path="/foo" docBase="foo" allowLinking="true"> |
| 05:36.26 | jasonb | </Context> |
| 05:36.43 | jasonb | If you do that, it works just fine in Tomcat 5.5. |
| 05:37.22 | jasonb | The exceptions you were seeing in the logs have nothing to do with that. They demonstrate a new, yet uncaught bug of Tomcat 5.5. |
| 05:38.42 | jasonb | With deployOnStartup="false" and autoDeploy="false", deploying a webapp works fine in server.xml, but not the manager webapp.. and that's a bug. |
| 06:01.50 | lyken | 'retain the object i put in you you POS !' |

| 06:07.50 | lyken | jasonb: i am right in assuming i can add an object to the session then pull it out again right? it doesnt have to be a tring.. |
| 06:07.54 | lyken | string.. |
| 06:07.56 | lyken | been so long |
| 06:09.09 | jasonb | It can indeed be an object. However, you can only pull it out of a session instance if it was indeed added to that exact session instance beforehand. :) |
| 06:09.36 | jasonb | The objects that you put into the session do also need to be serializeable. |
| 06:09.54 | lyken | well its a bean heh |
| 06:10.25 | jasonb | I don't remember whether they have to implement the Serializeable interface or not. |
| 06:10.35 | lyken | all my beans do |
| 06:11.38 | jasonb | Okay, then they should go in just fine. |
| 06:12.02 | jasonb | When you're pulling out the object, is your user logged in via authentication? |

| 15:42.17 | cwilliams | Hey everyone I am pretty new to tomcat/servlets etc. I am trying to design an application to work through http protocol to communicate with the server. This is all fine except at times the server needs to notify the client of an event. Is there any way to do this over the HTTP protocols? I have a poor work around of establishing 2 connections, 1 that I never close on the response reply... but I'd really like something cleaner that would allow |
| 15:42.17 | cwilliams | e servlet to initiate a conversation back to the user... Any help is really appreciated. |
| 15:42.35 | yassinework | ibot, lintlock has no problems with tomcat |
| 15:43.07 | jieryn-work | cwilliams: use ajax |
| 15:43.25 | jieryn-work | cwilliams: have a hidden <div> which is in constant communication with your server |
| 15:44.09 | cwilliams | I am not familiar with either of those things :) |
| 15:44.19 | jieryn-work | !google ajax |
| 15:44.21 | cwilliams | yep |
| 15:44.26 | cwilliams | was just gonna say, I am off to google :) |
| 15:44.35 | cwilliams | thanks for the info |
| 15:44.41 | jieryn-work | i would recommend you use a library |
| 15:44.50 | cwilliams | any particular one? |
| 15:45.00 | cwilliams | atm I am just using response-request model... which is truely ugly |
| 15:45.25 | jieryn-work | yah, i'm looking for it now, one sec :) |
| 15:45.46 | jieryn-work | prototype is apache license http://prototype.conio.net/ |
| 15:46.00 | jieryn-work | can make all the AJAX stuff completely transparent to you |
| 15:46.07 | jieryn-work | you just specify a javascript callback function when new data is ready |
| 15:46.23 | jieryn-work | you can even set it up to run at regular intervals, which seems like what you'd want.. every 5s or something |
| 15:46.29 | cwilliams | my limitation is it has to run through the http |
| 15:46.36 | jieryn-work | have it hit a specific servlet which checks for new messages |
| 15:46.39 | jieryn-work | yes, it does :) |
| 15:47.02 | cwilliams | yeah, I thought about setting up a client thread to poll the server for new info |

| 15:47.26 | cwilliams | you guys are incredibly helpful :) |
| 15:48.31 | jieryn-work | we live to serve |
| 15:48.47 | yassinework | hihi |
| 15:48.58 | yassinework | cwilliams, we enjoy sharing :) |
| 15:50.53 | lintlock | compiling tomcat = self torture |
| 15:51.50 | yassinework | lol |
| 15:51.59 | yassinework | lintlock, how about ant ? |
| 15:52.07 | lintlock | dont even want to try |
| 15:52.17 | yassinework | i did it once :) |
| 16:01.27 | lintlock | i mean i had everything done then all of a sudden i was missin a jar file |
| 16:01.31 | lintlock | then i said F it |
| 16:07.02 | cwilliams | from what I can tell AJAX is meant for javascripting... I am dealing with a java-application that connects via an http request initially |
| 16:08.17 | yassinework | cwilliams, true, afik there a framework provided by google where you can code your code (GUI) in pure java and the framework translate it into an AJAX application |
| 16:08.37 | cwilliams | hm |
| 16:09.01 | cwilliams | but essentially AJAX handles the callback information from the server on the client side to do something after a request was made client side, yes? |
| 16:09.24 | cwilliams | it doesn't look like it handles a request initiated by the server |
| 16:09.38 | cwilliams | unless I am just way off in my understanding |
| 16:11.55 | cwilliams | well back in a bit... going for lunch |

| 20:01.41 | dvayanu | you mean the tomcat admin application? |
| 20:01.46 | Vas | Under "Administration", there are Status, Tomcat Administration and Tomcat Manager |
| 20:01.57 | Vas | dvayanu , yes ... |
| 20:02.10 | Vas | Status and Tomcat Manager pops up with login/password |
| 20:02.44 | Vas | Tomcat Administration does not, accessing it at http://myWebSite.com:8080/admin and it logs right straight inside |

| 20:05.37 | Vas | there is one |

| 20:06.39 | Vas | is that not right ? |
| 20:06.43 | dvayanu | but your admin app is open? and you are sure you haven't logged in previously with the same browser ? |
| 20:07.02 | Vas | I opened a new browser, so there should be no cache |
| 20:07.13 | dvayanu | vas: new browser or new ie window? :-) |
| 20:07.27 | Vas | new IE browser |
| 20:07.38 | Vas | new ie window |
| 20:07.47 | dvayanu | vas: and it runs as separate process? just in case... |
| 20:07.53 | mlux | does anybody know a good tutorial/example for building a little project with tomcat? .. i want to get familiar with the usual approach of doing that? |
| 20:08.42 | Vas | dvayanu, it runs as "admin" user |
| 20:09.08 | Vas | i have SSL enabled on this thing though |
| 20:09.23 | Vas | not sure if it makes a difference |
| 20:12.10 | dvayanu | vas: neither do i |
