  <!-- A "Service" is a collection of one or more "Connectors" that share
       a single "Container" (and therefore the web applications visible
       within that Container).  Normally, that Container is an "Engine",
       but this is not required.

       Note:  A "Service" is not itself a "Container", so you may not
       define subcomponents such as "Valves" or "Loggers" at this level.
   -->

  <!-- Define the Tomcat Stand-Alone Service -->
  <Service name="Tomcat-Standalone">

    <!-- A "Connector" represents an endpoint by which requests are received
         and responses are returned.  Each Connector passes requests on to
the
         associated "Container" (normally an Engine) for processing.

         By default, a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector is established on port
8080.
         You can also enable an SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 by
         following the instructions below and uncommenting the second
Connector
         entry.  SSL support requires the following steps (see the SSL
Config
         HOWTO in the Tomcat 4.0 documentation bundle for more detailed
         instructions):
         * Download and install JSSE 1.0.2 or later, and put the JAR files
           into "$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext".
         * Execute:
             %JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA
(Windows)
             $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA 
(Unix)
           with a password value of "changeit" for both the certificate and
           the keystore itself.

         By default, DNS lookups are enabled when a web application calls
         request.getRemoteHost().  This can have an adverse impact on
         performance, so you can disable it by setting the
         "enableLookups" attribute to "false".  When DNS lookups are
disabled,
         request.getRemoteHost() will return the String version of the
         IP address of the remote client.

instead.

           For a similar mechanism that is portable to all Servlet 2.3
           containers, check out the "RequestDumperFilter" Filter in the

Persistent 
		       Sessions.
                         
               saveOnRestart: If true, all active sessions will be saved
                 to the Store when Catalina is shutdown, regardless of
                 other settings. All Sessions found in the Store will be 
                 loaded on startup. Sessions past their expiration are
                 ignored in both cases.
               maxActiveSessions: If 0 or greater, having too many active 
                 sessions will result in some being swapped out. minIdleSwap
                 limits this. -1 means unlimited sessions are allowed.
                 0 means sessions will almost always be swapped out after
                 use - this will be noticeably slow for your users.
               minIdleSwap: Sessions must be idle for at least this long
                 (in seconds) before they will be swapped out due to 
               maxActiveSessions. This avoids thrashing when the site is 
                 highly active. -1 or 0 means there is no minimum - sessions
                 can be swapped out at any time.
               maxIdleSwap: Sessions will be swapped out if idle for this
                 long (in seconds). If minIdleSwap is higher, then it will
                 override this. This isn't exact: it is checked
periodically.
                 -1 means sessions won't be swapped out for this reason,
                 although they may be swapped out for maxActiveSessions.
                 If set to >= 0, guarantees that all sessions found in the
                 Store will be loaded on startup.
               maxIdleBackup: Sessions will be backed up (saved to the
Store,
                 but left in active memory) if idle for this long (in
seconds), 
                 and all sessions found in the Store will be loaded on
startup.
                 If set to -1 sessions will not be backed up, 0 means they
                 should be backed up shortly after being used.

               To clear sessions from the Store, set maxActiveSessions,
maxIdleSwap,
               and minIdleBackup all to -1, saveOnRestart to false, then
restart 
               Catalina.

Such things do happen.

But still, the error message shows that is where the error happens.
So, that is the place from which you start looking for; you pinpoint
the error there - and it could be that leads to the real source of
problem. The other solution is to run around madly, looking from
all sorts of improbable places.

> do you have any other clue for this.

That clue was the suggestion to look at the test_jsp.java code generated
by Tomcat from your test.jsp, and determine why this happens:

... at line 94 of the test_jsp.java.

Re: HTTP status error 500 in tomcat 4.1.36

Posted by bharatp80 <bh...@hotmail.com>.
Thanks for your quick reply.

but i am surprised the same code is working on another server.
Actually i am moving the web server from another server where it is working
just fine.the only difference between this two configuration is on new
server i have tomcat 4.1.36 and jdk 1.6 and on running server tomcat 4.0 and
jdk 1.4.
I have copied all wwwroot files from running server to new server.

so i guess to doubt on test.jsp is not appropriate.

do you have any other clue for this.
Thanks for your interest in solving my problem.

Thanks,
Bharat

That is where it points out that the root cause is that something in
your test.jsp page is throwing a NullPointerException - or more
exactly, something in the code that has been generated from your
test.jsp is throwing a NullPointerException.

The first way to solve this is to have a look in your test.jsp and
determine if there are any obvious problems which could cause
NullPointerException to be thrown. If you can't find any, then
there are a couple of ways to continue:

You could look at the test_jsp.java (if your server is configured to
keep the java source files generated from jsp pages), but the
generated java sources are not the easiest pieces of code to read.

Alternatively you could start commenting our parts of your test.jsp
code until the error goes away. When the error goes away, you've
located at least something that affects the problem - and can narrow
down your search from that point on.
