Announcing release 3.1 of Tomcat!
Download it at http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1/
In addition to continuing to supporting the latest Java Servlet and
JavaServer Pages Specifications, this release contains a number of
improvements over the Tomcat 3.0 release:
* Thread pooling and JVM load balancing
* ISAPI and NSAPI integration
* A Command line JSP to Servlet Code tool
* Automatic generation of Apache configuration files
* Automatic deployment of Web ARchive (WAR) files
* Logging
* Substantially improved documentation
* Experimental servlet reloading
* Experimental security implementation
* Minimal Admin/Deployment Tool
* Internal APIs were changed for flexibility and integration
* The source code was cleaned and reorganized
* Most non-essential code was moved out of tomcat.core
* Greater platform / JVM level coverage
* Many, many bugs were fixed.

Admin for Tomcat 3.1
Posted by Roy Truelove <ro...@binghamton.edu>.
I've got a question about the admin for tomcat 3.1.. When you add a context
using the Context Administration, it seems to add it to memory *only*, and
not to the servlet .xml file. In which case, if you restart the server,
those contexts which you added are lost. Is that the case?
Thanks,
Roy

Looks great!! Kudos to everyone who put so much work into this. Great
job on the documentation too. Tomcat is definitely on its way to ruling
the roost of servlet engines.
Thanks again to everyone for all the hard work,

Re: Release 3.1 of Tomcat rejects webcrawler
Posted by Ed Smierciak <es...@enduden.com>.
Web servers will (typically) interpret a series of requests over a short period
of time from the same IP address as coming from a "robot" or web crawler. In
that sense, Tomcat appears typical, in that (at least for my network setup) some
requests per unit time threshold is apparently being exceeded after 60 or so
requests and Tomcat starts rejecting page requests from my client.
Most/All web servers have a configuration parameter that controls whether or not
the site should allow itself to be crawled. I can't find that parameter in the
Tomcat documentation and was wondering if anyone knew how to get a Tomcat server
to permit itself to be crawled.
Sorry I wasn't particularly clear with my original note.

I'm not clear on what you are saying... who accepts/rejects what part of the
60-70 requests?
Does Tomcat reject *all* requests? or just the ones after 60-70??

Release 3.1 of Tomcat rejects webcrawler
Posted by Ed Smierciak <es...@enduden.com>.
I'm running Tomcat and I'm experimenting with some crawling software.
After the crawler collects 60 or 70 pages without any problem, Tomcat
start's rejecting its requests.
I know how to "allow robots" with Apache. Where do I set the
corresponding parameter for Tomcat?
Thanks.

A litle late reply......
Is there a list of features of Jserv that are still missing in Tomcat 3.1?

Re: Tomcat 3.1 (release): can't get it to work with Apache
Posted by Fergus Gallagher <Fe...@OrbisUK.com>.
I'm gonna have to plead a bit of ignorance on that one - previously I uses
a binary mod_jserv.so pulled from the jakarta site (on or about 22 Feb)
Is the binary avaiable anywhere?
I didn't know how to get the makefile to work so I tried the equivalent of
$ for file in *.c ; do gcc -fPIC -c $file -I/opt/apache/include ; done
$ ld -G -o mod_jserv.so *.o
(actually I wrote a makefile for this - see below)
Will that do?
Fergus
====== Makefile ================
CC = gcc
SRCS = jserv_ajpv11.c jserv_ajpv12.c jserv_balance.c \
jserv_image.c jserv_mmap.c jserv_protocols.c \
jserv_status.c jserv_utils.c jserv_watchdog.c \
jserv_wrapper.c jserv_wrapper_unix.c mod_jserv.c
OBJS = ${SRCS:.c=.o}
APACHE = /opt/apache
INCS = -I$(APACHE)/include

The same thing happened to us on Solaris. We had to re-build mod_jserv.so
from sources.

There was a change in ajp12 a while back, maybe your mod_jserv.so is just
not updated... Try to build mod_jserv from the CVS.

Tomcat 3.1 (release): can't get it to work with Apache
Posted by Fergus Gallagher <Fe...@OrbisUK.com>.
I have been installing the updates of Tomcat on Apache for quite a while
but I can't get the 3.1 release to work - no servlets respond.
Pointing at the Tomcat server on port 8080 works
http://host:8080/myapp/servlet/myapp
but the same on Apache
http://host/myapp/servlet/myapp
hangs "indefinitely".
1. [tomcat]/conf/tomcat.conf same as earlier versions (e.g., RC1) with
correct ApJServMount entries
2. apache restarted (several times) & working
3. Nothing appears in either the [apache]/logs/mod_jserv.log nor the output
of "tomcat.sh start" until the connection attempt is cancelled (but the
presence of errors at least indicated that something is occurring).
4. When I swap back in an older version, things work again.
Any thoughts? Has the mod_jserv.so dependency changed recently?
Fergus
P.S. mod_jserv.log error on cancel is:
[19/04/2000 10:34:31:665] (EMERGENCY) ajp12[1]: cannot scan servlet
headers (500)
