Tomcat 4.0.3 and relative path includes.

Hello All. I am a New poster, so I hope I'm following proper protocol.

I am having trouble with relative path @includes in Tomcat 4.0.3.  An
include from the same directory is fine, as is an include from a
sub-directory, like so:

<%@include file="inc.jsp"%>
<%@include file="test2/inc.jsp"%>

However, trying to include from a higher directory generates a JSP
compile error. The JSP code:

    <%@include file="../inc.jsp"%>

generates the following error message:

    org.apache.jasper.compiler.CompileException:
/testdir/test2/index.jsp(5,0) File "../inc.jsp" not found

(There's lots more to the dump, but I didn't think it was pertinent. And
yes, the file IS there)

So, here are my questions:

1) Is this a known issue? Have other people encountered this?
2) Is this a bug or a Spec feature? If a bug is there a bug report
pending on this?
3) Is there a viable workaround for this?
4) Is there a mechanism in JSP to determine the current directory (and
therefor build up an absolute path)?

Thanks

    ...Paul

Tomcat 4.0.4 and relative path includes.

Posted by Paul landolt <la...@royalsys.com>.
My mistake, that was Tomcat v4.0.4, not v 4.0.3

Apache2.0.39 VirtualHosts Does not work Even when tomcat is out!

Posted by Luminous Heart <lu...@yahoo.com>.
I have disabled tomcat for this experiment. I have
built apache2.0.39 with tomcat4.0.4 on RH linux7.1.

I have two domain names that use one ip address:

- domain1.com
- domain2.com
- ip: 10.0.0.15 

the two domains point at two directories:
- /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/domain1
- /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/domain2

My configuration is not working for any domain. I have
disabled tomcat and removed domain2. When I point my
browser at http://www.domain1.com I get an index.html
page that is located on /usr/local/apache2/htdocs and
NOT the one in domain1. Even when I point at
http://www.domain2.com I still get the same. 

To troubleshoot, I renamed the whole directory htdocs
into webpages to see if apache is seeking that
directory regardless of my configuration. It seems
that my findings are true. Now when I point my browser
at either domain I get a 403 error 

"Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested
directory. There is either no index document or the
directory is read-protected. 
If you think this is a server error, please contact
the webmaster 
Error 403
"

I am attaching my httpd.conf file so someone might
take a look and tell me where am going wrong.

Thank you all in advance.

Re: Tomcat 4.0.3 and relative path includes.

Posted by Paul landolt <la...@royalsys.com>.
After some digging by Andrew, it appears that there may be some issuea with how
<@include>'s are performed within a war file rather than with a deployed app.

If the application is deployed as a directory (the war file unpacked into a
directory) then Jasper has no troubles at all finding "../testdir/inc.jsp".
However, it cannot find the file if the app is deployed as a war file. I would
assume that the reason I could not find a similar problem when deploying the war
file in Weblogic is because Weblogic may expand the war file into a temporary
directory before execution.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with expanded vs War file webapps?

RE: Tomcat 4.0.3 and relative path includes.

Posted by Andrew Conrad <an...@msn.com>.
Little background real quick.  Tomcat allows you to define an
application Context in the server.xml

Such that, if you wanted a webapp called MyApp, you would set up a
Context in your server.xml file with the path "/MyApp" and the docBase
attribute pointing to the location of your web app.  In my testing, you
could use relative paths WITHIN your Context.  Meaning

If you had a file
/MyApp/testdir1/getRelative.jsp

You could include these files:

/myApp/inc.jsp (using "../inc.jsp" OR "/inc.jsp" )
/myApp/testdir1/inc.jsp  (using "inc.jsp" or "/testdir1/inc.jsp")
/myApp/testdir2/inc.jsp   (using  "../testdir2/inc.jsp" or
"/testdir2/inc.jsp" )


What you couldn't do was leave your Context and get something else
(like):

/inc.jsp
/YourApp/inc.jsp


According to the Servlet 2.3 specification, I do not believe this is a
bug. (SRV9.5)

"A web application exists as a structured hierarchy of directories. The
root of this
hierarchy serves as the document root for files that are part of the
application."


That seems to say that everything within the "MyApp" webapp should see
the directory as "/"  and you cannot go below root.

This seems to be consistent with the JSP 1.2 Documentation for
<jsp:include /> and <%@ include %> tags
(JSP 2.10.3; JSP 4.4)

Subject: Re: Tomcat 4.0.3 and relative path includes.


1) I'm not precisely clear on your use of the Context (I am a tad new at
this). I would assume from your question that the proper response is
this: I am tryig to leave my current Context and go to a 'parent'
Context, not nessesarily the base context.

My test structure works out to the following:

docroot/index.html
docroot/testdir/index.jsp
docroot/testdir/inc.jsp
docroot/testdir/test2/index.jsp
docroot/testdir/test2/inc.jsp

The "not found" error occures when I try to include
docroot/testdir/inc.jsp (which is in the parent directory) from the file
docroot/testdir/test2/index.jsp

2) I have tried setting the CrossContext attribute to true as well as
false, both having no affect

3) Although the option still exists to create a subdirectory off of the
base context, I am trying to port an existing web app from Weblogic onto
Tomcat. I would like to avoid moving files around if possible.


What about the use of the <jsp:directive.include /> phrase rather than
<@include>? Are there substantial differences?

Re: Tomcat 4.0.3 and relative path includes.

Posted by Paul landolt <la...@royalsys.com>.
1) I'm not precisely clear on your use of the Context (I am a tad new at this). I
would assume from your question that the proper response is this: I am tryig to
leave my current Context and go to a 'parent' Context, not nessesarily the base
context.

My test structure works out to the following:

docroot/index.html
docroot/testdir/index.jsp
docroot/testdir/inc.jsp
docroot/testdir/test2/index.jsp
docroot/testdir/test2/inc.jsp

The "not found" error occures when I try to include docroot/testdir/inc.jsp
(which is in the parent directory) from the file docroot/testdir/test2/index.jsp

2) I have tried setting the CrossContext attribute to true as well as false, both
having no affect

3) Although the option still exists to create a subdirectory off of the base
context, I am trying to port an existing web app from Weblogic onto Tomcat. I
would like to avoid moving files around if possible.


What about the use of the <jsp:directive.include /> phrase rather than
<@include>? Are there substantial differences?

Re: Tomcat 4.0.3 and relative path includes.

Posted by Paul landolt <la...@royalsys.com>.
Andrew,

Perhaps you might be able to take a quick peek at my demo web app to see if
there's any way of getting this working, or at least to give a rudimentary
explanation as to why it won't (or shouldn't) work. It is worth noting that this
very war file was deployed on Bea Weblogic 6.1 and it works with no problems.

I've included my demo war file. It's fairly minute (3K) so it shouldn't be to
hard to review

The Context entry for this app is in ,y conf/server.xml as follows:

    <!-- ServerTest Context -->
    <Context path="/ServerTest"
docBase="C:/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4/deploy/ServerTest.war" debug="0"
reloadable="true" CrossContext="true">
    </Context>

Thanks in advance

    ...Paul

RE: Tomcat 4.0.3 and relative path includes.

Posted by Andrew Conrad <an...@msn.com>.
So you are trying to leave your current Context and go into the base
context?  

Have you set your Context attribute "CrossContext" to true?

Have you tried making a subdirectory in your current Context, place this
file with the relative include in it, and tried to request the file from
the base of the current context to see if that has any problems?

Subject: Tomcat 4.0.3 and relative path includes.


Hello All. I am a New poster, so I hope I'm following proper protocol.

I am having trouble with relative path @includes in Tomcat 4.0.3.  An
include from the same directory is fine, as is an include from a
sub-directory, like so:

<%@include file="inc.jsp"%>
<%@include file="test2/inc.jsp"%>

However, trying to include from a higher directory generates a JSP
compile error. The JSP code:

    <%@include file="../inc.jsp"%>

generates the following error message:

    org.apache.jasper.compiler.CompileException:
/testdir/test2/index.jsp(5,0) File "../inc.jsp" not found

(There's lots more to the dump, but I didn't think it was pertinent. And
yes, the file IS there)

So, here are my questions:

1) Is this a known issue? Have other people encountered this?
2) Is this a bug or a Spec feature? If a bug is there a bug report
pending on this?
3) Is there a viable workaround for this?
4) Is there a mechanism in JSP to determine the current directory (and
therefor build up an absolute path)?

Thanks

    ...Paul
