Problems deploying a servlet on ubuntu

Dear Folks,

I am a newbee to Servlets and I working myself thought the
Head First Servlet Book. There is a simple example of
a hello world servlet and a web.xml file deployed under the
webapps folder, I did exactly as described in the book
however I do get a 404, even though the localhost:8080
works fine. I have no clue how to debug this, the logfiles
do not mention the deployment of my servlet, so I think
I do have to configure a little more or  so ...?

I have a linux box and the uname -a command delivers the
following respons:

Linux sonoma 2.6.32-31-generic #61-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 8 18:24:35 UTC 2011
i686 GNU/Linux

Sorry, try two.  The first reply went directly to Karl because I was in
the To field of his message.  Please don't send directly to me.  Post to
the tomcat list and I will see it.  Anyway ... this is what I sent to Karl:

That looks right .... 

Can you post the contents of ch1/WEB-INF/web.xml?

Also can you take a look in the tomcat logs (/var/log/tomcat6), posting
anything related to the ch1 webapp?

What does "not working" mean?  Be specific: HTTP status, log entries, etc.

Post your WEB-INF/web.xml so we can see the servlet mappings.

> ./ch1/WEB-INF/classes:
> -rw-r--r-- 1 karl karl 931 2011-04-22 12:13 Ch1Servlet.class

Is Ch1Servlet.class in a package?  If so, the location of the class file must reflect that.

Hi folks, Hi David,

I use the /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps directory now,
http://localhost:8080 is working
and http://localhost:8080/ch1/Serv1 is still not working

here comes a recursive listing of the directory structure:

Re: Problems deploying a servlet on ubuntu

Posted by David Smith <da...@cornell.edu>.
Hi Karl.

The tomcat service set's it's own JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME
environment variables.  Just a quick look in /etc/init.d/tomcat6 will
show that. 

My installation of tomcat 6 on Ubuntu has webapps deployed to
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps, not /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps.  The later
directory doesn't even exist.  Could you take a look at
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps?  The ROOT webapp should be there.  Put your
webapp next to it and make sure it's readable by the tomcat6 user
account .. either by setting world readable or make sure tomcat6 is in
the group or owner permission fields.  Once all that is done, restart
tomcat6:

sudo service tomcat6 restart

--David

Dear Marin,

thanks for your reply :-)

please verify is one of those environment variable
pointing to the wrong place?

karl@sonoma:~$ sudo -s

I do have an error logged in the out file, however, no clue what it means

Karl-

check .profile and .bashrc for any manipulations of JAVA_HOME or CATALINA_HOME or CATALINA_BASE
have you noticed any specific errors in either the logs or stacktrace?

So maybe you can tell us some more :

- what version is it ?

- what version is the JVM ?  ("java -version" may tell you, if the above doesn't)

- can you give us the exact paths where you installed your servlet files ? (the servlet itself and the web.xml file)

- in the Tomcat "conf" directory (in your case, it may be in /etc/tomcatxx), there is a file "server.xml". In that file, is a <Host> tag, which gives the path for the webapps directory (in the "appBase" attribute). Which is that ?






(*) if this is a "packaged" tomcat, this may complain that JAVA_HOME is not set.  If so, you first have to locate what JAVA_HOME should be set to.  Look then in /etc/init.d/tomcatxx to find out.

Can you be specific?  There are many problems with using gcj, but I've not heard 
of any with OpenJDK, which is almost identical to the Sun/Oracle downloads.

Chuck,

I apologize. You're right, I cannot find specific instances of OpenJDK with 
generic servlets and JSP pages.

There are some reported issues with captcha image processing and fonts, but the 
original poster should not be impacted by these. On RedHat, requiring the 
Liberation fonts via RPM fixes the font issue. I don't know how this is 
implemented in Ubuntu.

I don't know what the status is for captcha image processing. There don't appear 
to be any posts after late 2010 concerning this. According to one thread, the 
image processing was changed to use ImageIO in 4.2 (Jira thread), so it's no 
longer an issue there.

Again, I apologize for the extra noise, as well as the erroneous statements.

First, a caveat.

I run Fedora, not Ubuntu so your mileage may vary. I also only have the first 
edition of the book, so the instructions may have changed between editions. By 
the way, I like the book (and Head First books in general).

Short version for the impatient:

1. You probably have a permissions problem.

The packaged installation of Tomcat may not have the permissions to
read your web application that you copied into  /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/ch1. 
You could fix this by doing the appropriate chmod for your system. However, see 
below for a different approach.

2. You are you using OpenJDK

This won't impact you in the short term. However, there have been several issues 
reported on the mailing list that have been cleared up by using the Oracle JDK 
and JRE. You can install these with apt-get on Ubuntu.

3. Solution

Install a local copy of Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org in your home directory. 
Use this for development work.

Install Oracle's JDK and JRE. There are several examples on how to do this with 
Ubuntu. Make sure it's your default JDK and JRE.

Longer version:

The packaged version of Tomcat is designed to run as a service, and may not be 
as easy to use for development. Starting and stopping probably requires root 
access, so integration down the road with an IDE such as NetBeans or Eclipse 
will be difficult.

Another issue you may run into is one of permissions. Depending on how you 
copied your Chapter 1 web application into /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps, the 
Tomcat process may not have read permissions on the files, nor execute 
permissions on the directory.

I was able to simulate a 404 on my system by changing ownership of a web 
application, and removing "other" read and execute access.

There have been several issues reported on the mailing list that have been 
traced back to using OpenJDK. It's much safer to install Oracle's JDK and use 
that as your default Java.

Here's a link to one way to install Oracle's JDK / JRE.

http://thilina.gunarathne.org/2011/02/installing-sun-oracle-jdk-6-on-ubuntu.html

Since I don't use Ubuntu, it's probably best to verify this before installing on 
you system.

I find the easiest way to do servlet/jsp development work on Linux is the 
following:

1. Install Oracle's JDK and JRE.

This is distribution-specific. I gave one link I found for Ubuntu, but please 
check for your distribution. Make sure that this is your default Java (java 
-version and javac -version).

2. Get a tar.gz copy of the latest Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org

The first edition of the book covers the servlet 2.4 specification, so 
technically 5.5.33 is all that's required.

The second edition of the book covers the servlet 2.5 specification, so 
technically 6.0.32 is all that's required.

That being said Tomcat 7.0.12 should run both 2.4 and 2.5 specification web 
applications just fine. You might as well go for the latest and position 
yourself to learn the 3.0 servlet specifications down the road.

3. Unpack the Tomcat distribution in your home directory somewhere.

I tend to make a separate directory and unpack it there. This makes my home 
directory a bit neater since I have several different Tomcat versions as well as 
a few cluster configurations.

4. Follow the instructions on editing tomcat-users.xml

This varies slightly depending on which Tomcat version you're running. Make sure 
the users are not commented out.

5. Make sure the system version of Tomcat is stopped.

The easiest way to do development work with your personal copy of Tomcat is to 
stop the system copy of Tomcat. There are ways to run both (involves changing 
some ports, and is not too difficult), but for learning purposes this is 
probably not necessary.

Now you have a standard environment to work with while learning servlets, jsp, 
and web application design patterns. This will make it easier for you to follow 
along in the Head First book. It will also make it easier for you to get help 
from the Tomcat mailing list.

Welcome to Java web application programming.

. . . . just my two cents.
