Virtual Paths and Tomcat?

[Andre John Mas <aj...@sympatico.ca>]

Hi,

  I have recently decided to make the move from JServ to Tomcat and one
of my servlets is having problems with the transition. The issue arises
because I make use of a virtual path which I add onto the of the servlet
path, as in the example:

  servlet path:  http://bob.com/servlets/medialibrary
  resulting url: http://bob.com/servlets/medialibrary/audio/groupx/box.m3u

This approach works with JServ but Tomcat can't seem to handle it. For
the basic servlet path Tomcat serves runs the servlet without a hitch,
but as soon as I add the extended path I get a error of the form 'resource
not found'. Is there any way I can get this working with Tomcat? I don't
want to have to resort to a variable parameter as this would mean that the
user will be given the name of the servlet for download, as opposed to the
generated file name.

Thanks

Andre

Tyrex config in Tomcat 4.0

[Harden ZHU <ha...@sympatico.ca>]

I did config poolman and weblogic database connection pool before. They all
have minimum and maximum database connection count that can be opened. I
didn't have any that information for Tyrex in tomcat. So what I am missing
here? How pooling be handled? And BTW, Tyrex work with ms-sql server?

Thanks

In your web.xml, just add the following mapping:

<servlet>
         <servlet-name>mlservlet</servlet-name>
         <servlet-class>MediaLibrary</servlet-class>
     </servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
         <servlet-name>mlservlet</servlet-name>
         <url-pattern>/servlets/medialibrary/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

That should do it.  Now a call to any path starting with 
/servlets/medialibrary will call the MediaLibrary servlet and the rest such 
as "/audio/groupx/box.m3u" will be treated as pathInfo ( req.getPathInfo() 
) for that servlet.
