This is a nasty one for me... I'm a PHP guy working in Java on a JSP project. I know how to do what I'm attempting through too much code and a complete lack of finesse. I'd prefer to do it RIGHT. :) Here is the situation: I'm writing a small display to show customers what days they can water their lawns based on their watering group...
I have a tomcat instance setup but the database connection I have configured in context.xml keeps dying after periods of inactivity. When I check the logs I get the following error: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: The last packet successfully received from the server was68051 seconds ago. The last packet sent...

Currently I am setting up an application that can deploy other web apps to Tomcat 6 clusters. It is set up right now to have a one to one relationship between deployed web application and a cluster. My current reasoning for this is so that I can change the JVM args of the Tomcat server without disrupting other applications and so that ...
What is the difference in terms of functionality between the Apache HTTP Server and Apache Tomcat? I know that Tomcat is written in Java and the HTTP Server is in C, but other than that I do not really know how they are distinguished. Do they have different functionality? ...
I have a Tomcat Filter that delegates requests to the a handling object depending on the URL. This is the only filter in the FilterChain. I have an Ajax app that hammers this filter with lots of requests. Recently I noticed an issue where the filter's doFilter method is often called with a committed response as a parameter (Internally, ...
The Weblogic servers we are using have been configured to allow JNDI datasource names like "appds". For development (localhost), we might be running Tomcat and when declared in the <context> section of server.xml, Tomcat will hang JNDI datasources on "java:comp/env/jdbc/*" in the JNDI tree. Problem: in Weblogic, the JNDI lookup is "app...
I have a webapp that uses JNDI lookups to get a connection to the database. The connection works fine and returns the query no problems. The issue us that the connection does not close properly and is stuck in the 'sleep' mode (according to mysql administrator). This means that they become unusable nad then I run out of connections. Ca...
Hi, I downloaded a couple of webapps and placed them in my /webapps folder. Some of them I could open by going to http://localhost:8080/app1 and it would open. However, some others I would do the exact same thing and go to http://localhost:8080/app2 and it will display "HTTP Status 404 - /app2/", even though I am sure it is there. I've...
I have a bunch of servlets running under the Tomcat servlet container. I would like to separate test code from production code, so I considered using a test framework. JUnit is nicely integrated into Eclipse, but I failed to make it run servlets using a running Tomcat server. Could you please recommend a unit testing framework that suppo...
In my Servlet I would like to access the root of the context so that I can do some JavaScript minifying. It would be possible to do the minify as part of the install process but I would like to do it on Servlet startup to reduce the implementation cost. Does anyone know of a method for getting the context directory so that I can load a...
Tomcat fails to start even if i remove all my applications from the WEBAPPS directory leaving everything just like after the OS installation. The log (catalina.out) says: Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/share/tomcat5 Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/tomcat5 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat5/temp Using JRE_HOME: Created MBea...
The server.xml can have many connectors, typically port only 8080, but for my application a user might configure their servlet.xml to also have other ports open (say 8081-8088). I would like for my servlet to figure out what socket connections ports will be vaild (During the Servlet.init() tomcat has not yet started the connectors.) I...
I've been running Tomcat 5.5 with Java 1.4 for a while now with a huge webapp. Most of the time it runs fine, but sometimes it will just hang, with no exception generated, and no apparant way of getting it to run again other than re-starting Tomcat. The tomcat instance is allowed a gigabyte of memory on the heap, but rarely exceeds 300...
I would like to debug my separately running JSP/Struts/Tomcat/Hibernate application stack using the Eclipse IDE debugger. How do I setup the java JVM and eclipse so that I can set breakpoints, monitor variable values, and see the code that is currently executing? ...
I'm not overly familiar with Tomcat, but my team has inherited a complex project that revolves around a Java Servlet being hosted in Tomcat across many servers. Custom configuration management software is used to write out the server.xml, and various resources (connection pools, beans, server variables, etc) written into server.xml confi...
I have apache 2.2 and tomcat 5.5 running on a Windows XP machine. Which tomcat/apache connector is the easiest to set up and is well documented? ...
Hi, In my job we have to deploy an application on various environments. It's a standard WAR file which needs a bit of configuration, deployed on Tomcat 6. Is there any way of creating a 'deployment package' with Tomcat so that you just extract it and it sets up Tomcat as well as your application? I'm not sure that creating a .zip file ...
I am using Tomcat as a server and Internet Explorer 6 as a browser. A web page in our app has about 75 images. We are using SSL. It seems to be very slow at loading all the content. How can I configure Tomcat so that IE caches the images? ...
