RE: Should not be this hard(why is this a security risk)

That is what I needed ...

Thanks all

To follow this up, why is this a security risk?

Do they want specific mapping for each servlet?

Thanks

>>From the release notes

------------------------
Enabling invoker servlet:
------------------------

Starting with Tomcat 4.1.12, the invoker servlet is no longer available
by 
default in all webapp. Enabling it for all webapps is possible by
editing $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml to uncomment the "/servlet/*"
servlet-mapping definition.

Using the invoker servlet in a production environment is not recommended
and is unsupported.

Hello, me again

This should have been so easy (famous last words)

I am upgrading from tomcat jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4 to jakarta-tomcat-4.1.17
4.0.4 was working fine.....

For some reason I can not find my servlets ARG!

In my web.xml I have a <load-on-startup/> and in the log file , the
servlet Starts ok.... But if I goto
http://bart.mydomain.com:8080/servlet/uServlet
I get a 404.......

Here is some details. I have to be missing something very simple.

My static html and jsps work ok when I goto
http://bart.mydomain.com:8080/index.html
http://bart.mydomain.com:8080/jsp/dirgloblogin.jsp

But if I goto http://bart.mydomain.com:8080/servlet/uServlet
I get a 404

from the log file I get :

2002-12-19 09:42:13 StandardContext[]: Mapping contextPath='' with
requestURI='/servlet/uServlet' and relativeURI='/servlet/uServlet

2002-12-19 09:42:13 StandardContext[]:   Trying exact match
2002-12-19 09:42:13 StandardContext[]:   Trying prefix match

2002-12-19 09:42:13 StandardContext[]:   Trying default match
2002-12-19 09:42:13 StandardContext[]:  Mapped to servlet 'default' with
servlet path '/servlet/uServlet' and path info 'null' and update=true
2002-12-19 09:42:13 default: DefaultServlet.serveResource:  Serving
resource '/servlet/uServlet' headers and data


In my server.xml I have

<Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" debug="9">

<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="/home/unit" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
       
 <Context path=""
                 docBase="/home/unit"
                 crossContext="true"
                 debug="9"
                 reloadable="false" >
 </Context>
 

#ls -ls /home/unit/WEB-INF/classes
total 104
  32 -rwxrwxrwx    1 apache   apache      32734 Dec 18 21:31

EditjsServlet.class
  32 -rwxrwxrwx    1 apache   apache      31030 Dec 18 21:31
uServlet.class

Thanks for any Help!!!

Re: Should not be this hard(why is this a security risk)

Posted by Dodd Gatsos <dg...@slb.com>.
Just a guess.......

Because someone could theoretically drop a servlet into your file system
programmed to issue commands passed in as a parameter and execute them as
root?
