Re: EJB's

Tomcat is strictly a JSP/Servlet service.  If you want EJB support look
into a project called JBoss at jboss.org.  It's an EJB1.1 server.

Re: Port 80

Posted by Jan Labanowski <jk...@osc.edu>.
I do not think you will be ever able to run tomcat standalone as non-root
on port 80. Ports below 1024 can only be run as root. You say: "and Apache?..."
Apache is written in C, not Java, and changes the effective UID
to nobody (or whatever) for its children which do the work.
I do not think such stuff is possible in Java, and even if it was,
Tomcat does not support it. The solution is to have Apache run on port 80
and communicate with tomcat via ajp12 or ajp13  connector. Then
Tomcat can run as whatever you wish it to be, and need not be root,
since the connector ports are usually much higher than 1024, e.g., 8007.

Port 80

Posted by Frank Morton <fm...@base2inc.com>.
I can't find where to RTFM, so can someone kindly point
me to an explanation of how to run tomcat with port 80
not as root. I can configure it for port 80 and run as
root, but can't figure out how to specify the uid to run 
under.

Thanks.

As long as this came up, anyone know just what
open-source/free/low-cost EJB/J2EE servers there are out there?  (I'm
at an edu, so this would be for non-commercial use, which will widen
my options.)  Thanks.
