TomCat!!TomCat!!
HI Everyone,
I am new to TomCat and am really interested in knowing lot about this.
I actually want to try this on some of our present system(Servlets), where
there are some url redirection, sessions and so on.
My doubt is
1) will Tomcat work fine without a webserver, what i mean is will servlets
and jsp written and placed on tomcat,will they be accessible from net
without any webserver directing the request to Tomcat.
2) will there be any security problem involved.
3) what about sessionId, usually how long is this Id. Do we have any control
over this SessionId size.
Please reply back, I would really like to know about this.
Thank You
Jags

Hi,
please, send only answers to my mail-account and not to the mailing list. It's
really off topic. thanks.

FreeBSD list or newsgroup are not the right way. I think so... My field aims on
JSP and Servlets (=>Tomcat and Apache) and that's the reason why I posted
here... (real reports)
thanks.
kind regards,
Steffen

Steffen,
<shrug> I have a feeling I could answer your questions by searching the
web, not by emailing the Tomcat discussion list. Have you searched the
Tomcat archives for the words "freebsd" and "performance?"

People can send OT emails, sure, but I'm trying to help you get it answered.
I think the fastest way is to email a FreeBSD list or newsgroup.

no, I have no problems with tomcat... but I need for Tomcat, OODBMS
(pure java), XML and and and ... Java Support.
I want to know some progress reports about OS (Linux vs. FreeBSD) and
Java. Who is using FreeBSD on a web-server and Java (tomcat). I think
thats the best mailing list to ask ;) Everbody who use Tomcat need Java
and I think here are some experts which use FreeBSD :) The interesting
thing is the linux-binary support for BSD and the performance
difference... everybody experience with it?
I hope my mail is ok and not too off topic?
thanks in advance.
Steffen

Steffen,
Is there a question about Tomcat you wanted to ask?

FreeBSD, Linux, Java Help - experiences
Posted by Steffen Haase <ho...@celocom.de>.
Hi,
it's probably a little bit of topic, but I need very urgently progress reports.
I like FreeBSD (I'm new in BSD) and I need some progress reports about Java on a
FreeBSD systems. I need the linux-binary support to run JDK 1.3 or higher on a
BSD machine. (the native port for 1.2 is only in a beta state and is very old.
it seems that nobody is working on a native JDK for BSD)
What's the performance difference when I use a "emulator" (linux-binary support)
on a FreeBSD machine? Do I have full JIT support? I need it for my web-server
and my Linux system runs very stable, but if it's possible and I have full Java
support I'll switch to FreeBSD.
thanks in advance.
best regards,
Steffen

No problem. Be aware of the fact that it default to port 8080 and binding to
the default http port 80 is not always possible (depending on your os). I
prefer to let apache handle statics and tomcat handle dynamics.
> 2) will there be any security problem involved.
Always. This maby not the answer that you where looking for, so : tomcat is
made as safe as possible, but there can always be a problem. So actively do
security audits on you system. The combination apache / tomcat gives me a
lot of confidence (on linux at least).

As far as I understood you can use your own sessionID generator. Can't tell
you how it works though. There is a reference to the sessionID generator in
the server.xml (at least for tomcat 3.3).
