Simple Rest Server
Dear all,
I am trying to develop a web service using the Simple Rest Server. I
am using the default installation of Tomcat5.5 under Ubuntu 9.04.
Actually, my web service runs quite smoothly when I try to "manually"
start Tomcat using the following script of my own device :)
sudo java -Dcatalina.base=/usr/share/tomcat5.5
-Dcatalina.home=/usr/share/tomcat5.5
-Dwtp.deploy=/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/endorsed -classpath
/usr/share/tomcat5.5/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/lib/tools.jar
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
On the other hand, when I try to start Tomcat normally
(/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 restart) I get the following errors once I try
to access my web service :
HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report

My guess is that I should explicitly grand some permissions to the
Simple Rest Server via the various
/usr/share/tomcat5.5/conf/policy.d/*.policy files, but no matter what
I change, the SimpleRestServer stubbornly refuses to start up.
In case that you have any idea of what might be going on, I would be
very happy to hear from you.

If your sysadmin want to use the JSM I think you should try to configure the
security policy.
I think you can find a lot of material on the net .
I'm the sysadmin, so I can do what ever I want on my servers :)

Dear Roberto,
thank you very much for your comments. Actually I had already tried
what you suggested several days ago, but I was still getting some
exceptions, albeit somewhat different from the ones that I was
receiving before.
Trying once again what you suggested I realized that since I had just
before launched Tomcat as a root with a command of my own (see my
initial mail), the pears had been extracted and the created folders
belonged to the root user. Thus, when I launched once again Tomcat via
the normal procedure (/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 restart), even with the
option TOMCAT5_SECURITY=no, Tomcat could not read or write to the
extracted folders since they did not belong to the Tomcat user. Once I
realized what was going on, I deleted those folders and kept the
option TOMCAT5_SECURITY=no.
As a consequence all my web services now work without any problems.
Since I have performed all the tests locally, all that I need to do
now is to convince our server administrator that Tomcat should run by
default without the security manager turned on ... wish me good luck
!!
In any case thanks a lot for your suggestion. For the moment the
problem seems to have been solved, or more precisely it seems to have
been shoveled under the rug.
In case that I stumble over a better solution I will keep you informed.
Best,
Stergos D. Afantenos

On ubuntu, and debian too of course, tomcat runs with java security manager
enabled by default.
The simplest way is to disable it. Open the /etc/defautl/tomcat5.5 and set
the variable to no
....
# Use the Java security manager? (yes/no, default: yes)
# WARNING: Do not disable the security manager unless you understand
# the consequences!
# NOTE: java-gcj-compat-dev currently doesn't support a security
# manager.
TOMCAT5_SECURITY=no
The default file is the right place where to set JAVA_OPTS, such as heap or
system properties.
The policy file is generated at startup (/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5) :
....
# Create catalina.policy (for the security manager)
rm -f "$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.policy"
umask 022
echo "// AUTO-GENERATED FILE -- DO NOT EDIT!" \
> "$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.policy"
echo "// Edit the files in /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/ instead"
\
>> "$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.policy"
echo "" >> "$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.policy"
cat /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/*.policy \
>> "$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.policy"
....
I hope this will help you

This is from UIMA core, in org.apache.uima.impl.UIMAFramework_impl.
However, I think you should follow Roberto's advice. If a security
manager is used, your troubles will not end here. You may also run
into class loading issues.

Dear Thilo,
thank you very much for this reply. I have downloaded the code of the
Simple Rest Server from the sandbox
(http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/sandbox/trunk/SimpleServer/)
but I have not managed to find the mine to which you are referring. I
wonder if this line is in the code of the UIMA core. I owuld greatly
appreciate it if you could confirm this and even better provide the
name of the actual java file that contains this line.
Once again, thanks very much for your reply and all the wonderful work
that you are doing for UIMA.
Kind regards,

The code is trying to ascertain that it can set system
properties. This line is the culprit:
// attempt to improve initialization performance
Introspector.setBeanInfoSearchPath(new String[0]);
See if you can allow setting system properties in
your Tomcat's policy file. Note: I'm not a Tomcat
expert, and I've never seen this issue before with
UIMA and Tomcat 5.5.
