tomcat without apache logging & security
Hi
I installed Tomcat 3.2.1 (without Apache !) on my Linux machine and made two
java servlets that are querying my postgres db and display a web page with
the data. Both servlets run fine. However, being a beginner, I can't figure
out or find helpful documentation on the following two questions :
I would like to log all the queries to the database in logs/servlet.log. I
put the verbosityLevel to DEBUG which didn't seem to have an effect on the
logfile (it only logs the init calls). In server.xml, there are all these
ContextInterceptors that I suspect to be helpful (?), but I have no idea how to use
or modify them. If you have some explanation or suggestions or know some
documentation "for dummies" I would be very grateful :-)
The other thing is the security. I would like to restrict the access to ONE
of the two servlets to a couple of IP addresses. Does Tomcat offer a
possibility for that ? I saw that by modifying the tomcat.policy file I can do IP
filtering, but that concerns all the servlets !?
Thanks a lot for any help !!

What you need to do is use log statements in your Java code
In your Java code, obtain the servlet context, and then write a log
statement along the lines of:
servletContext.log("Querying the database");
Any logging you do using the servlet API's logging facility will end up in
Tomcat's servlet log.
Check the Javadoc for the servlet API for more info.

well, sure I can do this, but then the mechanism for
extracting war files does not work anymore.

You have to add a new context in the server.xml file (in conf dir). There are other

Hi,
I am deploying war files and it seems as if those must be stuck into the
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory. Is there any way to specify a different
location of this webapps directory?
Thanks
Christian

You could compare the String result of request.getRemoteAddr() to the IP
addresses you want to restrict to on the doGet() or doPost() methods of
your servlet. The addresses could be specified in the servlet's properties
in web.xml
