Migrating from TC 4 -> 5
Hi,
I have a Struts-based app that is currently running on a Tomcat
4.1.29 server. I'm using Struts 1.2.9 and things have been running
great. My ISP is bugging me about upgrading Tomcat to 5.5.20 so I
downloaded it tonight to do a trial run and initial testing.
For starters, it coughed up a ton of warning messages about not being
able to find the SAX parser. So I put xalan.jar, xercesImpl.jar, xml-
apis.jar and xmlParserAPIs.jar it $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib. This
stopped the error messages and the server started up fine.
I could log into my web app and things seem to authenticate and then
the screen just went blank. Nothing, no content, no error message. I
even checked the log file and there was nothing there either.
Anybody have a similar experience? I've cruised Google and the
archives of this list but can't seem to find an answer.
I'm using JDK 1.5 also...
Thanks in advance,
Jon

Turns out the issue was I had:
<role-name>*</role-name>
when I should have had each of the roles entered.
Whew! The things we learn by trial and error...thanks everybody who
had advice for me on this, especially here:

We're using JAASRealm, not JDBCRealm, without any problems.

Can't answer the latter, but the JDBCRealm class is in
server/lib/catalina-optional.jar, as is the one for JAASRealm.

Hi,
More clearer still...is anybody authenticating a webapp on Tomcat
5.5.20 using JDBCRealm? Anybody? I'd like to talk to you if you have
some time to email back and forth. It just doesn't look like
JDBCRealm works anymore, though I'm sure it's me and I'm sure I'll
figure it out. One. Of. These. Nights.
Anybody know if the JDBCRealm class isn't included with TC 5.5.20? Or
am I just off my rocker?
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
To be clearer now, I believe the problem lies within using a
JDBCRealm. I can get apps that don't need authentication to work
fine, but those that do, those that use <Realm/> just die with no
error message.
I opened up catalina.jar and to my surprise there is not a JDBCRealm
class...did I get a bad distribution?
Help...
Thanks,
Jon
