How to read environment entry?
Hi,
I have an application and I need to specify a string (that will be
different in each site), so the header I am using in each jsp page will
be able to read it and show it..... I could do it using web.xml but I
was wondering if it was possible to do it using, in the Tomcat server
tool (context (application) ==> Resources ==> Environment entries) to
add a new envt entry such headerApp... And read it in each jsp file ...
How?
Thanks
Elisabeth

Hi Liz,
I think you have to get it back using something like this
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context ) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
String myString = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("env/NameOfString");
The above is a guess.... you will need to read up on JNDI resources.
Just really wanted to say that you seem to be relying on the Admin tool, and
wanted you to note that its absent from TC6... so if you upgrade, you wont
be able to do it, and then the XML is just as much hassle.
I would also consider normal system properties.
You get then back as System.getProperty("whatever");
but they can be set in many places.
- From another program
- In the -D parameter when java starts, or when TC starts.
- If you using MS TC server... in the Service Panel -> Under Java Options (I
think you may like that)
Have fun

This isn't how Tomcat-Standalone works, but it easily could be. I haven't
looked at the JBoss code, but I understand that they use JMX to embed Tomcat
from the persisted static setup.

Configuring httpd is something that has been talked about for mod_jk3
(currently just being discussed, slowly on dev@tomcat). You can read about
it at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/connectors/trunk/jk3/ROADMAP,
and of course you can offer any suggestions (aka patches) on dev@tomcat or
BZ just like any other Tomcat document.

The more-or-less abandoned /admin webapp was meant to be a JMX interface for
the admin dude. Unfortunately, it lost it's developers to GlassFish, and
now is still too tied to the TC 4.1.x (where it originated) way of doing
things to be of much use in TC 6.x. IMHO, it would probably need a re-write
to be accepted for TC 6.x.

Well, for the connected port, you would have to stop and start the Connector
for it to take effect (possible via JMX). I haven't looked recently at what
the Realms expose, but mostly I would think that they would take effect
immediately (i.e. on the next Request).

Again, the starting point would be to look at the /admin webapp, which tries
to do just that. Like auto-configure, it is a popular option with users
that currently doesn't have much love in the dev@tomcat community :).

Hi Bill almost missed your reply...
I'm subscribed to so many mailing lists, my incoming mail is starting to
look like a flash animation...
Briefly, yes... I am looking at it....
or more accurately I'm struggling with a cool exciting concept....
Goes something like this.... auto JK config maybe a "toy" as you say, but
besides JMX, it was one of the few things that presented a partial model of
TC to another system.... that concept I find very appealing.
I'm thinking... ok, well JMX (via the internal mbeans registering
themselves), represents the live model of Tomcat.
and.... JMX has effectively demoted XML configuration to something that now
really just represents the persisted static model of TC.
So if one wants to make helper tools... those tools need to be interfaced
with and aware of both the live and static models of TC.
As a simple auto JK tool, its, as you say, a toy.... but now add JK load
balancing to it, and mod_proxy with the ability to perhaps even configure
HTTPd, then someone will go, gee thats cool, lets make it easy to configure
SSO, and the realm, and hey lets add JNDI to that.... and then people are
going to scream for a JMX interface to this easy configurator....
.....thats how I'm thinking....but it raising all sorts of issues in my
mind....
Like maybe the whole concept of core beans registering themselves with JMX
is wrong.... or maybe there has to be JMX for the expert TC developer and a
JMX for the admin dude.
For example (I havnt tried it), but what happens to TC if you change the
connected port, or reset a Realm through JMX... its live, so just how badly
would that screw up TC.... or will TC raise an exception and just ignore
you.... just how smart are the core beans?
Now JMX through the "easy configurator" or "TC modeler".... would be
something different, if you change the JK load sharing, it would say
"configuration illegal", or "new configuration will become active on a TC
restart.... do you want to restart when user activity has ceased".
It would become the model of TC that people see.... it would become a
"modeler".... and it would become a safe layer between the live TC and what
people are trying to make it do?
Thats how confused I've managed to make myself.... I need to do more
homework on the idea... I'd like to try turn something that programmers are
now finding boring, into something very exciting.... hopefully ;)

It's not mine by a long shot :). I just did the port from TC 3.3.x to TC 4
(they have very different designs). Pretty much all of the other @auther
tags are copied from it's TC 3.3.x days. I'm not saying that I wouldn't be
happy to review and commit patches to it. Just that I currently don't have
much of an itch to write the patches myself.

It is a cute little toy, but it hasn't kept up with the changes to mod_jk
(not to mention that it doesn't support mod_proxy_ajp at all). However, the
last meaningful change to it was in 2004.

That would actually be a very valuable contribution. One idea that I looked
at awhile back is a class that does minimal parsing of server.xml to embed
Tomcat (via JMX, it's soooo much easier), insert the Listener, and then

Well, the way that I found out is people on this list compaining that their
auto-conf files generate warnings on httpd 2.2.x :). Personally, I lurk on
dev@httpd, but this isn't for everyone. Of course, to find out more, you
just go to http://httpd.apache.org and check the documentation and/or
changelog. To add a new attribute to the ApacheConfig class (from
server.xml), all you have to do is declare the public getter/setter methods
in standard JavaBean style. Most standard type conversions are supported by

Re: Using auto-configure with Tomcat 6.0
Posted by Johnny Kewl <jo...@kewlstuff.co.za>.
Bill, let me just say that your little auto module helped me tremendously
when I first looked at JK, for a newbie, having that stuff generated becomes
a great tutorial in itself, so its a damn shame it will probably fall away.
I had a look at the code, and I see there are other maintainers, have they
also moved on?
Its a great tool.
I see BaseJkConfig is the base class, and some functions are overridden in
Apache Config, IIS Config, and NS Config.... I have zero interest in IIS and
NS, but Apache -> TC is pure magic...
The other thing is I see you have used a LifecycleListener to kick off the
whole auto config thing. I cant argue with the philosophy, assuming a person
remembers that they must restart TC, but I'm thinking why buck the trend,
take the tool out of TC completely, and have it as a pure addon, I'm
thinking a configuration servlet that one can use to generate this stuff,
and maybe more.
I'm also wondering how you keep up to date with the protocols, and formats,
for example just where do you look to find out the httpd 2.2.x is different.
If you show me how to plug in to this dev system and assuming thats not a
mission in itself, then I dont think it will be too much of a problem to
plug in to the code.
I'm thinking, if thats OK, well I dont mind doing it....

Interesting Analysis Bill
BTW: the catalina.bat is almost non-functional which I think could be
replaced by typing
java %JAVA_OPTS% -jar bootstrap.jar..sorry separate thread..
What do you gain by implementing mod_proxy_ajp over mod_jk.conf-auto?
Many Thanks

It really doesn't have a maintainer at the moment, so like the admin webapp
it will probably go away at some point. It should still work with TC6,
except that for httpd 2.2.x the output is wrong. I used to be the primary
maintainer for it, but for my day-job I use mod_proxy_ajp with 2.2.x (which
is also unsupported by ApacheConfig), so I don't really have an itch to
update this module. And it works well enough for httpd 1.3.x & 2.0.x.
Which is really saying is that this module is low-hanging-fruit for anybody
that wants to contribute to Tomcat development :).

Frank, I see the classes are there in 6.0, but the document does mention its
for 5.x only.
Unfortunately I dont have TC6 setup for this.
Could someone, please confirm, this (mod_jk.conf-auto) is still a feature in
TC6
Thx

Using auto-configure with Tomcat 6.0
Posted by Frank McCown <fm...@cs.odu.edu>.
I'm trying to get auto-configure to work for my single Tomcat process
running on the same machine as Apache. According to the instructions at
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/apache.html
the mod_jk.conf-auto file can only be created with Tomcat 5.x. Does
that mean the functionality was deprecated in Tomcat 6.0, or have the
instructions not been updated?
I've followed the directions explicitly, but Tomcat 6.0 does not seem to
produce a mod_jk.conf-auto when re-started. The catalina.out does not
record any errors.
Apache 2.2.4
Tomcat 6.0.12
Java 1.4.2
Linux FC 6
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Frank
