Automatic deploy with ant and Tomcat 4.1.31

Hi,

I'm trying to use an Ant build script to deploy/install a war file to a
local Tomcat server. I've found and read the documentation.

The task I use is as follows:

<target name="tomcat.install" description="Installs the Web Application"
depends="package">
   <echo message="Installing ${tomcat.app.name} ..."/>
   <install url="${tomcat.manager.url}"
username="${tomcat.manager.username}"
password="${tomcat.manager.password}" path="/${tomcat.app.name}"
config="file:${basedir}/${assemble}/META-INF/context.xml"
war="file:${basedir}/${artifacts}/${war.file}"/>
</target>

Now, the war file to be installed is copied in the local work folder of
the manager application but the unzipping of the war file does not work
well. It seems only the WEB-INF directory gets unzipped, the other
files/folders are nowhere to be seen.

Anyway offer any help?

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Re: Logging (Log4J) with Tomcat 4.1.x

Posted by Daniel Fanjul <da...@gmail.com>.
No, you have to put each application log4j.xml in each WEB-INF/classes or 
WEB-INF/lib (in a jar)
 The first time you declare a Logger in your app, log4j.xml is searched in 
the ClassLoader; but, I don´t know why (maybe some log4j initialization 
static code), some log4j class is loaded by the Tomcat's Common ClassLoader, 
not by your WebappX classloader.
Because of this, log4j.lib must be in the common dir.
 The log4j.xml is loaded by the WebappX, so each application may have its 
own log4j.xml. Each time you redeploy an application, the log4j.xml is 
searched again.

There are multiple webapps deployed on the server. Will adding log4j to 
common/lib not activate log for all of them?

A log4j mailing list might give u a more effective answer....

Try and change the appender to be ConsoleAppender (please check the
name) - see if the output displays on the tomcat console.Then u can
debug from there...

HTH,
Anoop

Logging (Log4J) with Tomcat 4.1.x

Posted by Peter Verhoye <pe...@synergetic-solutions.be>.
Hi all,

I must be getting stupid or so but the logging in my webapp doesn't work 
anymore.

I've the log4j.properties file in WEB-INF/classes
log4j.jar is in WEB-INF/lib

My properties are:
#
# Configures Log4j as the Tomcat system logger
#

#
# Configure the logger to output info level messages into a rolling log 
file.
#
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, R

#
# Configuration for a rolling log file ("tomcat.log").
#
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
#
# Edit the next line to point to your logs directory.
# The last part of the name is the log file name.
#
log4j.appender.R.File=C:/data/apps/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/logs/tomcat.log
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
#
# Print the date in ISO 8601 format
#
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n

I don't see the tomcat.log file anywhere :(

Someone has any idea?

Authentication using Apache Httpd and Tomcat

Posted by Peter Verhoye <pe...@synergetic-solutions.be>.
Hi,

Next to my first problem, I also have the following (sorry to bother the 
list with this but I'm leaving on holiday next week and some PM shoved 
this task on my lap :S)

We have the following local setup:

Apache 2.0 --- Tomcat 4.1.31

On Tomcat, we have several applications called app1, app2, app3.

Now, we want a basic authentication scheme (later they probably want 
something more but that's for then :-) where, when a user enters the URL 
  http://localhost/app1 he gets immediately a challenge request box for 
login.

Now, how should I do this?

The war file is correct. This is indeed doen in another task. And I've 
checked it manually. And the copy of the warfile (in the work 
CATALINA_HOME\work\Standalone\localhost\manager directory) is also 
correct (I guess it's basically a copy).

Now, I do have to mention that I'm working on windows, so maybe this has 
something to do with it.

Anyway, when I use the manager page to upload the war file, it works 
like a charm. So noting wrogn there either.

Also, according to the docs, there should be a difference between the 
install and the deploy tasks. But both 'deploy' the same directory (the 
mentioned above).

ensure it unzips normally with some zip util?

also the unzipping is not really "done" by the deploy task - but is 
something that tomcat does at some point as part of its process of 
deploying a war.
