tomcat caching servlet conf directory?

[William Norris <wn...@gmail.com>]

I am working on writing some junit tests for a project and am running
into some rather odd behavior... it seems that tomcat is caching the
servlets configuration data somewhere between tests.  Here's what I'm
doing...

Presently I have one TestCase class with two methods, let's call them
testA() and testB().  Each method first copies a config directory into
place inside the servlet's webapps folder.  It then creates a new
Embedded object, configures it with a custom connector I created, and
starts up Tomcat.  I then pass in a fabricated HTTP request and check
the result against the expected response.

These two particular tests happen to use the same servlet
configuration, so to verify that things are acting weird, I changed
testA() to copy in a non-working configuration.  If I run testA()
first, then it fails as expected.  However, if I run testB() first and
then testA() then both tests pass, verifying that testA is in fact
using the leftover configuration from testB.  I've additionally
printed out the contents of the servlet's configuration directory
AFTER copying the contents over, but BEFORE starting up tomcat to
ensure the new configuration data is actually being copied over...
which it is.  Finally, I tried deleting the entire work/ directory
between tests to ensure nothing was being cached in there.

At this point, I'm somewhat at a loss.  There appear to be no caches
on the filesystem, and because I'm starting with a new Embedded object
for each method, there shouldn't be any caches in memory.  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Remote debugging with tomcat windows

[Randy Paries <ra...@unitnet.com>]

Hello I am running tomcat 5 on windoze xp and trying to get remote debugging
to work. I can do it fine when the server is linux but can not get it to
work with windoze.

In the java options (in the tomcat properties dialog) I put the following

-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005

In my log file I get ::: (even if all I add is -Xdebug)

Thanks for any help

okay... so disregard this.  It turns out the servlet was parsing the
configuration document into a static variable that was not being reset
between tests.  All is well with the world again.
