DO NOT REPLY [Bug 47467] New: Deployment of the war file by URL when contextpath is not specified in Manager Application.

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47467

           Summary: Deployment of the war file by URL when contextpath is
                    not specified in Manager Application.
           Product: Tomcat 6
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Manager application
        AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
        ReportedBy: meetaarora3007@gmail.com


I have seen a problem in Tomact manager application. According to the Tomcat
documentation6.0 

Deploy a Directory or WAR by URL
Deploy a web application directory or ".war" file located on the Tomcat server.
If no path is specified, the directory name or the war file name without the
".war" extension is used as the path. The war parameter specifies a URL
(including the file: scheme) for either a directory or a web application
archive (WAR) file. The supported syntax for a URL referring to a WAR file is
described on the Javadocs page for the java.net.JarURLConnection class. Use
only URLs that refer to the entire WAR file.

In this example the web application located in the directory /path/to/foo on
the Tomcat server is deployed as the web application context named /footoo. 


 http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?path=/footoo&war=file:/path/to/foo





In this example the ".war" file /path/to/bar.war on the Tomcat server is
deployed as the web application context named /bar. Notice that there is no
path parameter so the context path defaults to the name of the web application
archive file without the ".war" extension. 


 http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?war=jar:file:/path/to/bar.war!/


In the last paragraph, it is written that it is not mandatory to specify path
in the manager application i.e it should be by default deployed. But it gives
me an error as " Invalid context path null specified".

Steps to reproduce the scanerio:
1. Open manager application
2. Do not specify anything in ContextPath field.
3. Enter the path to the war file in the third field.

Result: It gives me the error reported above. Also my application contains an
explicit path to it in context.xml.All the settings are default only. 
Here if I give an explicit path in ContextPath field in Manager application it
will be deployed successfully.

If path is kept then I'd suggest something along the lines of treating it as an
optional parameter that is used to rename the war/dir/context.xml file.

I just investigated a bit in this one and IMHO this bug is realy odd because
the documentation in html-manager-howto.xml and
o.a.catalina.manager.ManagerServlet is not in sync with what the code does or
is designed for.

Let me point that out in detail:

1. The docs are talking about JarURLConnection like syntax for the 'WAR or
Directory URL' field in the 'Deploy' section of HTMLManagerServlet* (aka known
as war parameter there):

    jar:file:/c:/myWebapp.war!/ **

If you look in the code - you will find out - it can only handle java.io.File
like file names (with an optional 'file:' prefix): 

    file:C:/myWebapp.war
    file://C:/myWebapp.war
    file:///C:/myWebapp.war
    file:////C:/myWebapp.war
    file://///C:/myWebapp.war
    file://////C:/myWebapp.war

    file:C:/myWebapp
    file://C:/myWebapp
    file:///C:/myWebapp
    file:////C:/myWebapp
    file://///C:/myWebapp
    file://////C:/myWebapp

    C:/myWebapp.war
    C:\myWebapp.war

    C:/myWebapp
    C:\myWebapp


Every other filename not ending with '.war' is handled by the code as already
exploded directory and gets deployed as such!

Back to the point: The existing code in HTMLManagerServlet and ManagerServlet
is unable to handle JarURLConnection like syntax like following one mentioned
above: jar:file:/c:/myWebapp.war!/ To make it crystal clear here, the only type
of URL they can handle are 'file:' URLs based on java.io.File(String) at all.

* Note: HTMLManagerServlet is a sub class of ManagerServlet which gets used by
the Ant DeployTask as well. So there are common implications.


2.) On the one hand if you deploy a war file remote via the 'Select WAR file to
upload' field in the 'Deploy' section of HTMLManagerServlet the 'Context Path'
gets derived from the war file name. So you don't need a 'Context Path' to
deploy a *.war file. For example if your war file is callled 'myWebapp.war',
your 'Context Path' will be '/myWebapp'.
On the other hand if you try to deploy a webapp as a *.war or a directory
locally via 'WAR or Directory URL' you have to provide a 'Context Path', but it
would be possible to derive the 'Context Path' as well from the 'WAR or
Directory URL' name like it is done for remote deployments.


Proposed Solution:

- Fix the documentaion and the HTMLManagerServlet UI to get number 1.) fixed.
Especially remove the word 'URL' from the HTMLManagerServlet UI field
descriptors and the jar:file:.... Urls from the javadoc and the
html-manager-howto.xml

- Enhance ManagerServlet to derive the 'Context Path' (aka 'path' parameter)
from an already given 'WAR or Directory' (aka 'war' parameter). For example if
you have no 'Context Path' and the 'WAR or Directory' filed contains
'C:\myWebapp' or 'C:\myWebapp.war' the 'Context Path' will be '/myWebapp'.

I start to work on this from now on in the trunk and will append the patch as
soon as I am finished (probably this week) to this bug, so it can merged in by
one of the commiter.

Would be nice to get some feedback if the probosed solution fits or not.

That sounds perfect to me. I will check all the related interfaces to the
ManagerServlet like the Ant DeployTask to make that clear and of course the
html howto.

BTW: How would you deal with the localized properties if something new comes
along? Is it ok to just enhance the non English property files with the new
property together with its English value or is there any other procedure?

+1 to making the docs and the functionality consistent.

Personally, I'd lean towards figuring out if the jar:file: syntax ever worked
and it if was look at why/when it broke and how easy it would be to fix it
before opting to remove it completely.

Thanks for the research. It helps enormously to be able to read through your
summary and understand the background to this bug and how we got here.

I think path needs to be removed completely. The only place it is valid to use
it is in server.xml and the manager app doesn't touch server.xml.

The leaves 4 cases:
1. config(no) war(no)
- invalid since nothing to deploy

2. config(yes) war(no)
- valid - copy appname.xml to $CATALINA_BASE/conf/<engine>/<host>

3. config(no) war(yes)
- valid - copy appname.war to Host's appBase

4. config(yes) war(yes)
- valid if appname is same for appname.xml and appname.war
- copy appname.xml to $CATALINA_BASE/conf/<engine>/<host>
- copy appname.war to Host's appBase

Any provide path can be ignored but I'd suggest logging a warning.

It is makes the fix easier, I'd be happy to see all the file URL support
removed as well.

Thanks for your input but this leads me to some further questions to discuss
:-)

The 'path' parameter describes the context path of the web application. By
providing a 'path' and a 'war' parameter you can tell the ManagerServlet for
example ?path=/myWebapp&war=C:\\myWar.war. This adds the value to not having a
hard wired relationship between the context name (aka '&path=/myWebapp') and
the deployment source (webapp as *.war file or as an webapp conform directory
structure aka '&war=C:\\myWar.war' or '&war=C:\\myDir')

Further more there is the case where you can provide a context.xml as config,
but you have to know to which webapp this config belongs to.
A case would be 

    ?path=/myWebapp&config=C:\\context.xml

In this case the context.xml would be end up in
${catalina.base}/conf/[Engine]/[Host]/myWebapp.xml

Basically you can say the '&path=' is used to get the Context (aka webapp) from
the mBeanServer. If the '&path=' gets dropped you would need it inside the
deploy(.....) method anyway but with the limitation the '&path=' would be
always hardwired to the name of the '&war=' value (war or dir name) or the
'&config=' value (config name

Ok this derivation of the '&path=' from '&war=' is done at the moment anyway if
no '&path=' is provided, but you still have the possibility to override that,
say you want to deploy the same war as 5 different webapps for testing purposes
for example.

It works like this at the moment in the patch:

        if (!hasPath && !hasConfig && hasWar) { 
            //war
            this.war = new War(war);
            this.path = this.war.getPath();
            this.config = null;
        } else if (!hasPath && hasConfig && hasWar) { 
            //war, config
            this.war = new War(war);
            this.path = this.war.getPath();
            this.config = new Config(config);
        } else if (hasPath && !hasConfig && hasWar) {
            //war, path
            this.war = new War(war);
            this.path = new Path(path);
            this.config = null;
        } else if (hasPath && hasConfig && !hasWar) {
            //config, path
            this.war = null;
            this.path = new Path(path);
            this.config = new Config(config);
        } else if (hasPath && hasConfig && hasWar) {
            //war, config, path
            this.war = new War(war);
            this.path = new Path(path);
            this.config = new Config(config);
        } else {
            //!hasPath && !hasConfig && !hasWar
            //!hasPath &&  hasConfig && !hasWar
            // hasPath && !hasConfig && !hasWar
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(
                    "Need one of the following combinations" +
                    ": war " +
                    "| war, path " +
                    "| war, config " +
                    "| war, config, path " +
                    "| config, path");
        }

We could think about to derive the '&path=' (aka webapp context) from the
'&config=' (config name) for the following case:

    //!hasPath &&  hasConfig && !hasWar


for example: 

    ?config=C:\myWebapp.xml 

would be end up in:

    ${catalina.base}/conf/[Engine]/[Host]/myWebapp.xml

Thats what you suggested as well in comment #6 case 2.


BTW: In the pre JMX version of ManagerServlet (all pre Tomcat 5.5.0 versions)
we had o.a.c.Deployer to encapsulate all the deployment related tasks. Starting
with Tomcat 5.5.0 all these tasks got moved as 'JMX Agent Level like' access
methods into the Manager Servlet which is a bit ugly from an OO point of view.
Instead of  that solution we should think about having a 'JMX Agent Level like'
Deployer object in the 'manager' webapp to provide encapsulated services for
the tasks to perform an deploy, undeploy, ... from within the ManagerServlet.
But thats possibly beautifying and should go with an different Bug.

--- Comment #3 from Uwe Günther <uw...@cscc.de> 2009-09-25 16:25:48 PDT ---
Thats what I thought as well when I started with this bug. This jar:file:
syntax is based on an URLConnection and there isn't one used in the whole
MangerServlet or HTMLManagerServlet code. That shows to me  jar:file: syntax is
only in the docs to document a function we simply do not have in the code at
all.

I checked the svn history 2 years back and there was no jar:file:... URL syntax
at all. Means I could not found any URLConnections in the code and its history.
Maybe the original author could give us some historical inside knowledge, but I
think this is late back to tomcat 4.x.x.

At the moment I can't even dream up a scenario where you could use a jar:file:
URLConnection like syntax or where it would make sence, but thats me. :-) 

Lets go back to what does till now: There are basically two deployment
strategies in the HTMLManagerServlet:

    1.) local deployment (webapp *.war or webapp dir must be locally accessable
from tomcat to get copied via GET command to the webapps dir)
    2.) remote deployment (only a webapp *.war can be remotely copied to the
webapps dir via POST resp. PUT)

Either you deploy a local dir or war as webapp or you deploy a remote war as
webapp. In both cases the ManagerServlet does only simple copy operations to
copy the local war / dir or the remotely uploaded war to the webapps dir.

Anyway, in both cases tomcat gets told via JMX in the ManagerServlet to use the
new copied webapp dir resp. explode the new copied *.war file and use it.

I have taken the whole ManagerServlet#deploy(PrintWriter writer, String config,
String path, String war, boolean update) method in to pieces to fully analyze
and understand it, so I can say what is going on and what gets wrong here. 

There are even some other strange bugs in this method: Lets say you have 3
params, each of them can have a value or can be null, so this leads us to 2^3=8
diffrent combinations where 5 of them are complete valid ones and 3 are invalid
ones. The existing code only works for 2 of 5 valid cases and does some odd
thing in the other 3 cases. For more details see my attachment which is listing
the cases.

I reworked only this single ManagerServlet#deploy(...) mehtod but created 4 new
classes to handle complexisty / special cases, because the method had been
grown in to a hard to handle beast. :-) 

Since today afternoon I have a working version running on my dev box together
with the trunk code. I am currently setting up a local testing scenarios to
seriously test that new code. Not only, but because it gets used via HTTP from
the Ant DeployTask, the ManagerServlet and the HTMLManagerServlet webapp
frontend. But it looks ok until now.

Lower importance, classify this as an enhancement, set Tomcat version as
6.0.20.

In essence, this is a documentation issue, and we can fix it as such,
but enhancements for the ManagerServlet are proposed as well.

--- Comment #5 from Uwe Günther <uw...@cscc.de> 2009-09-26 04:50:58 PDT ---
After some archaeological researches in older tomcat releases it came to
daylight the general URL support has been gone starting with Tomcat 5.5.0. In
this release o.a.c.Deployer has been removed from the Tomcat core. The Deployer
interface has been used inside the ManagerServlet to drive the deployments.
Deployer was a specialized Container into which web applications could be
deployed and undeployed. The whole Deployer interface could only used together
with java.net.URL. This was the main reason, why the enduser of the HTMLManager
application had to deal with URL like syntaxtes like "file://yourFileOrDir" or
"jar:file://yourWarFile.war!/"

Starting with Tomcat 5.5.0 o.a.c.Deployer interface got dropped from Tomcat and
the ManagerServlet got migrated to do the deployment with the JMX mBeanServer
from now on. If you look in the code starting from 5.5.0 the
ManagerServlet.deploy(.....) got worse and worse and less and less maintainable
because the migration hasn't done properly. For example:

    * Javadoc hasn't been migrated
    * URL support has been dropped (only a 'file:' prefix is supported from now
on which isn't really need but this is a different topic) which was a good
thing because the user from now on can use plain OS File paths like you would
expect from an enduser point of view from the very beginning.
    * deployment of local war without context path has been dropped
    * deployment of local dir without context path has been dropped

There should be short term and a long term solution.

Short term solution should be 
    1.) to apply the fix I already did for this bug mentioned in my comment
above, 
    2.) remove a the pseudo URLs like 'file:' we already have in the code and
provide the user a consistent interface for native file- and path-names. This
will effect the Ant DeployTask as well. 
    3.) The 'jar:file:' and 'file:' syntax needs to be removed/changed in the
related javadocs and howtos.

Long term solution would be to create a new bug to go over the whole manager
application and bring it back in to an consistant and maintainable state. I
will create that bug as soon this one went into svn.

If you set the English property value then that automatically gets used if the
non-English value isn't provided. You can leave the non-English files as is. Of
course, if your language skills are better than mine and you can provide any of
the translations that that would be great - but don't worry if you can't.

I am still working on this. Code changes are done and tested for Tomcat trunk
(7.0.0) and Tomcat 6.0.x trunk. I am in the process of doing the doc changes in
html-manager-howto.xml and manager-howto.xml in addition to the code changes.

To answer your questions, create separate bugs to do the clean-up and attach
the patches there.

How close are you to having the patch ready for this issue?

I need a bit of an advice here from the commiters here. Mark maybe you could
give me some infos. But let me first ask the question:

If have fixed and tested the deploy method in the ManagerServlet and I am in
the process changing the javadoc for the ManagerServlet to what it does.
But I think this whole bug/change starts to mushroom in to something bigger the
deeper I dig in the code because there are alot of inconsistencies. I just want
to list here some of them which needs to be cleaned up in that area:

1.) Go over the Ant DeployTask and remove some deprecated Tasks and make the
DeployTask more consistent (&localWar &war mess). There are also some
invariants of the params which would cause odd behavior there.
2.) Go over the manager/text/<commands> and remove some deprecated tasks and
make it more consistent compared with its subclass HTMLManagerServlet. There
are odd things as well, I don't want to list them all here in detail.
3.) Go over the whole manager-howto.xml and describe the behavior we have
really at the moment. This is a task where I would need someone whose mother
tounge is english to double check the stuff I plan to rewrite.

I don't want to do that all in this Bug number, because I think the changes I
did to ManagerServlet#deploy(.....) and the HTMLManagerServlet already are not
that small at all and I do want to get them in first.

Possibly I should create 3 new Bugs for 1.) - 3.) and should put all the stuff
I fixed in to a patch and attach it to this one so you guys can commit it.

What do you mean?

BTW: I have done all in the trunk (Tomcat 7). How do you bring this usually
back into Tomcat 6.0.x or 5.5.x ?
