Tomcat 4, Apache, "manager" webapp
Has anyone gotten the tomcat "manager" webapp to work with Apache?
I've searched around a fair bit, but haven't found a conclusive
answer. Perhaps there isn't one :-) If there's a more appropriate list
to ask this, please steer me that way and accept my apologies.
I'm using RedHat 7.2, Apache 1.3.20, Tomcat 4.1.24, mod_webapp (from
cvs 5/19/03). So far, I've only been able to make it work on Tomcat
standalone, and any activities I do through that interface do not seem
to affect my webapp's context running on Apache at port 80 at all. When
I restart or redeploy an application's context, Apache doesn't notice,
and continues to serve the old version of the application.
Seems to me, therefore, that Apache (via mod_webapp) is serving its
own instances of any contexts configured in Apache's httpd.conf file.
So, I added a directive:
WebAppDeploy manager warpConnection /manager
to the appropriate Virtual Host in my httpd.conf, and attempted to go
to http://servername/manager/html, but I got the error:
java.lang.SecurityException: Servlet of class org.apache.catalina.servlets.HTMLManagerServlet is privileged and cannot be loaded by this web application
I interpret this to mean that the JVM isn't getting any authentication
data with my request, which it would normally be getting through Tomcat
standalone. It seems that Tomcat somehow knows to initiate basic
authentication whenever I request a /manager url, but Apache doesn't.
Is there any way that I can tell Apache to authenticate people who are
trying to connect to the /manager web application? If I do, will it
know how to pass that authentication information to Tomcat via
mod_webapp? Will this create the proper credentials in the JVM to allow
me to load this code? Or, am I on the wrong track altogether?
By the way, our real goal is to be able to
start/stop/reload/deploy/undeploy from within our ant build file.
Thanks for any assistance, and for an excellent app server,
Ben

Ben,
I saw your IM about the twp symbolic link. I've got no problems with
changing it.
