Tomcat-Apache link problem

[Xavier Escuer <xe...@relco.es>]

Hi. I've got a Java Web Server with apache 1.3.14, and Tomcat 4.0 b5 in 
my SuSE 7.1 box. Tomcat runs right as a Standalone Web Server, and the 
same for Apache. When I try to work with Apache for the static pages and 
Tomcat for JSP the problems appear. I compile the mod_webapp module 
(first compile the APR module: apr_20010612045550.tar.gz and 
apr-util_20010612045629.tar.gz), copy the mod_webapp.so to 
/usr/lib/apache, and add the following lines in my httpd.conf:
Load module webapp_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_webapp.so
AddModule webapp_module  (I try too with mod_webapp.c)
WebAppConnection _INFO_ info
WebAppDeploy _INFO_ _INFO_  my_IP_address /usr/java/tomcat/webapps/examples
When I try to reboot the apache daemon failed, the next error message 
appear in rcapache.log file: "Syntax error on line ..(the LoadModule 
line) of .../httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/mod_webapp.so into 
server: undefined symbol: phtread_sigmask"
What's the problem, a bad compilation of the module, a bad 
configuration...? Thanks in advance

Windows 2000 problems with HttpSession

[James Manna <pe...@senet.com.au>]

Hi All,

I  am having problmes with maintaing sessions on a win 2000 machine running
tomcat 3.2.1.
I seem to always get a  new session everytime.

We are only having this problme on some of our development machines.
A basic example servlet that returns html works fine on all machines and
maintains session state.

The full system uses an Applet, serialized objects, request dispatching and
forwarding, multiple servlets, DB backend etc. It works fine on some
machines and not on others. All machines are runnig Win 200 with the same
user, and environment variable setup etc

I access the session in the main servlet and access it after I forward it on
to other servlets.

Any one got even any remote thoughts?

We have investigated:
    - using windows machine name and IP instead of localhost:8080
    - variations in tomcat config
    - variations in source code
But no luck so far.

Regards
James Manna
