Tomcat5.15 basic setup question
Hi all,
I am new to java and Tomcat.
I have the following situation:
FC4 server behind PIX box. Internal address 10.x.x.x.
Outside address resolves to mirc.[website].[suffix]
I have deployed a java application called MIRC and it works fine at
the server console.
From the same network, I can access all functions with
http://10.x.x.x:80.
From the outside world I can access the main page with
http://mirc.[website].[suffix]:8080
The problem is when I select a function on the entry page that sends
me to another jsp in the application. Because the application suggested
that i hard code the local address, 10.x.x.x, when I do try to access
another page the url is returned as
http://mirc.10.x.x.x.com:8080/mirc/Login, for instance.
mirc.10.x.x.x.com:8080 cannot resolve.
I though of changing the address in server.xml to localhost:8080 but
that too will not resolve from the outside world.
My question is were if the mass of documentation for Tomcat should I
start looking for the answer of how to configure this so it will work
both from within my office and from the outside world?
Thanks for pointers!
Bob

You might consider the necessity of using port 8080 as well - client-side
firewalls might block it, it is non-standard, and probably hard-coded
everywhere along side the IP address. You can run Tomcat on port 80 (see
the archives of this list--it has been discussed recently), or front with
httpd (apache) and mod_proxy / mod_jk if (not strictly necessary, although
it is still widely done.)

Doug,
Think I have it. I'll test it out tomorrow.

Bob,
Not a very good application if they are doing that. Hard coding things such
as IP addresses is just asking for headaches.
I take it that you have a link or a button with an action that is sending
you to the desired page.
Remove the "http://mirc.10.x.x.x.com:8080/mirc/" and simply leave the
"Login" in place. If you need to move up a step on the content you can use
../ in front of the desire destination or add the folder to move down a
level.
Now to unravel the confusion.
If at the root of the app:
href="test.jsp" will link you to the jsp page test in the root of the app.
href="night/select.jsp" will link you to the select jsp in the folder called
night that is in the root.
Once in the night folder and you need to link to something in the root then
use:
href="../test.jsp"
The same works for actions on forms.
Doug
