The subject says it all, almost. How do I automatically fix jsp pages so that relative URLs are mapped to the context path instead of the server root? That is, given for example <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/style.css" /> how do I set-up things in a way that maps the css to my-server/my-context/css/style.css instea...

I have a temporary file with data that's returned as part of a SOAP response via a MTOM binary attachment. I would like to trash it as soon as the method call "ends" (i.e., finishes transferring). What's the best way for me to do this? The best way I can figure out how to do this is to delete them when the session is destroyed, but I'...
I have the following problem. My tomcat 5.5 based web application is using a trust store to verify SSL connections. The application allows the user to add or remove CA certificates to be used in the verification process. However, adding or removing certificates from the trust store doesn't change a thing. The application 'recognizes' onl...
We have the usual web.xml for our web application which includes some jsp and jsp tag files. I want to switch to using pre-compiled jsp's. I have the pre-compilation happening in the build ok, and it generates the web.xml fragment and now I want to merge the fragment into the main web.xml. Is there an include type directive for web.xm...

The JDBC realm specifies a table structure for authentication which contains the columns defined by the attributes userNameCol and userCredCol. These correspond to user and password which makes sense for FORM or BASIC auth-methods. They are interactive and require these two pieces from the client's user. What comes back from the cert...
I am currently investigating how to make a connection to a SQL Server database from my Java EE web application using Windows Authentication instead of SQL Server authentication. I am running this app off of Tomcat 6.0, and am utilizing the Microsoft JDBC driver. My connection properties file looks as follows: dbDriver = com...
I have this web application that has grown to an unmanageable mess. I want to split it into a common "framework" part (that still includes web stuff like pages and images) and several modules that add extra functionality and screens. I want this refactoring to also be useful as a plugin system for third-party extensions. All modules n...
We're running a web app on Tomcat 6 and Apache mod_proxy 2.2.3. Seeing a lot of 502 errors like this: Bad Gateway! The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /the/page.do. Reason: Error reading from remote server If you think this is a ser...
I'm working on a java web-application, trying to be xml-friendly and writing my jsp files using the jspx/xml syntax. It took me hours of dissecting examples and configuration files to find out that with tomcat 5.5 files using the new syntax should end in .jspx, or tomcat won't translate tag libraries and stuff. Both file extensions map ...
Working in Eclipse on a Dynamic Web Project (using Tomcat (v5.5) as the app server), is there some way I can configure things so Tomcat will start with security turned on (i.e. as if I ran catalina.sh start -security)? ...
I am migrating a struts application from Websphere to Tomcat 6 and my application has support for Russian language. In Websphere we use to pass the JVM param -Dclinet.encoding.override=cp1251 but when I tried this with tomcat by passing the JVM argument -DFile.encoding=cp1251, the system doesnt accept input (I an any text box like in sea...
What's the difference between absolute path & relative path when using any web server or tomcat? ...
I want to let the users of my app, which is in turn an app container (app contains subapps), add java jars to their jython path. I let the subapp managers write thir own extensions in jython, but some of the functionality they want to add needs additional jars. For example, if they want to check a svn repo, they need the svn access jars...

I have single, double, and triple checked the classpath and everything seems fine. Anyone ever seen anythign like this before? relevant versions...
I have set-up tomcat to catch all my exceptions and pass them to a servlet with the following in web.xml. <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>exception</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/exception</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <error-page> <exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type> <location>/exception</location> </er...
Currently, I've got an expensive license for a reverse proxy server in an environment that is mostly Tomcat. I'm thinking of one or both of the following upgrades. Using Squid instead of the expensive licensed product. Using some Apache2 settings for caching. Right now, I'm vague on the details, but perhaps mod_proxy will work here? ...
I have two web applications running in the same Tomcat Instance. In one of these applications the user will have the ability to upload files such as images and pdf files. I would like the uploaded files to be available to the second application. Is there a best practice for such a scenario? Or just a pointer to a technology would be fi...
