03:20.27gw24thank god someones here!!
03:20.28azza_The only components that may be nested inside a Service  element are one or more Connector elements, followed by exactly one Engine element.
03:20.36azza_I got my answer
03:20.50gw24azza_ may i private msg you? my problem is trivial im sure!
03:21.06azza_gw24 i think they're all dead...

03:28.29gw25do i need to edit web.xml to run my beans method?
03:29.43azza_ok..
03:30.11azza_so... you will need either a jsp or a servlet to invoke the bean method
03:30.25azza_a jsp is easier.... if this is just for testing
03:30.37azza_Im off to lunch. sorry dude bloody hungry!
03:30.42azza_back in an hour
03:31.25gw25ah
03:31.27gw25enjoy man
03:31.36azza_if you use a jsp you wont need to edit the web.xml, servlets require a url mapping and hence web.xml entry
03:31.37gw25i may turn mad by the time u come back :)

03:33.18azza_try test.Prova
03:33.26azza_should use caps for class names
03:33.38azza_back 1hr
03:34.29gw25alrigh, thanks anyways
03:34.41gw25bpalmer familiar with beans?
03:35.13bpalmernot in any deep sense
03:35.35gw25ya me neither im just trying to run a simple beanmethd which basically does nothing
03:35.39lykenso long as they are sealizable
03:35.43lykenthey be all good
03:35.51gw25but tomcat keeps saying The value for the useBean class attribute test.prova is invalid.
03:35.54lykenserializable...
03:36.01gw25lyken serializable whats that for?
03:36.07lykenso they are session safe
03:36.33gw25oh
03:36.37lykenand so you can write them out to file and then re-instantiate
03:37.05lykenyou have setter and gettters for each value you want to store in that bean
03:37.57gw25im using the bean to just write to the serial port
03:38.42lykenintersting use of a bean..
03:38.47lykenno idea why you would do that..
03:38.56lyken*shrugs*
03:39.37gw25my friend told me thats a way to call methods from jsp
03:40.02lykenarh
03:40.14gw25is there a simpler method?
03:41.17lykenuse a light weigh communication protocol and write a server app talking to the serial port, and write jsp to send commands to that server..
03:41.23lykenthat isnt really easier
03:41.28lykenbut is a lot safer
03:41.47lykeni have a meeting now, i must go
03:42.19gw25thanks lyken :)

07:19.28azza_gw24 no sorry :(
07:19.48azza_anyone know how to set up more than one service on tomcat?
07:20.05gw24azza_ no sorry :(
07:26.48bpalmerI bet it should have been kuss.write
07:28.21azza_tgif!
07:28.37azza_I WANT BEER!!!!! Mmmmm BEER
07:37.35azza_you people are far to quiet
07:38.31lykenyou have no idea
07:45.21azza_teh heehhe
07:45.38azza_lyken, you know how to run two engines on tomcat?
07:45.48lykenyou mean two tomcats?
07:46.01lykennot sure what you mean by engine..
07:47.14bpalmerI think azza_ is talking about two <Engine> bits in server.xml
07:47.48bpalmerbut looking up, it seems he wants simply an AJP listening to Apache, and tomcat by itself listening to port 8080
07:48.00bpalmerwhich I think is doable with just two <Connector> definitions in the server.xml
07:49.17bpalmer(but I haven't done anything with AJP in a long time, so I'm certainly not gospel)
07:53.04azza_bpalmer yes yes yes!
07:53.49azza_thats exactly what I want to do... I can run the AJP port:8009 and I can also run non-SSL(http):8080. But I cant run them at the same time :(
07:54.04lykenim not sure if tomcat likes doing that
07:54.21azza_I need the AJP engine to run, or session affiinity doesnt work
07:56.26linuxfreckthe default config of tomcat 5 has both http and ajp configured...
08:02.10azza_linuxfreck, yes but you need to change the engine...
08:02.25azza_I had to replace  <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
08:02.47azza_with <Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="the.host.name">
08:02.49lykenwhat engine do you want to rung..
08:03.43azza_when I run the Standalone, it allows session affinity. The Catalina engine doesnt... so when I hit my loadbalancer I randomly pick tomcats and loose my session
08:05.00linuxfreckthe name attribute is just a name, nothing else
08:05.25linuxfreckwhich error messages do you get when trying to configure both connectors?
08:07.11azza_I can run both.... but it wont maintain the session affinity. This is something I need :( Then if I replace the engine it keeps session affinity... but disables the 8080
08:08.22linuxfrecksession affinity has to be done at the load balancing stage
08:08.38azza_ok, so if name makes no diff, then the only difference is the jvmRoute attribute
08:08.47linuxfreckif you use jk load balancing, you may need to add the jvmRoute attribute
08:08.51linuxfreckyes
08:09.10linuxfreckand if adding jvmRoute doesn't work, you should get an error message
08:09.31azza_ok... I'll try it.

08:16.58azza_now its just code..... ahhhh only code... it can never go wrong

08:20.57linuxfreckazza_: which load balancing software/hardware do you use?
08:21.18azza_the loadbalancing is all software
08:21.37azza_we cant afford an switch... they are big $$$$'s!
08:22.07lykena swtich?
08:22.12lykenlike network switch..
08:22.47azza_and the name doesnt matter... in a scense... but since all my config was in Catalina/conf ... the alternate name attempted to load another (not working) conf. That explains my problem
08:23.14azza_Alton Switch.... Big $$$'s
08:23.23gw25why cant you have static variables in jsp?
08:23.50bpalmerwhat do you mean, static variables?
08:23.51azza_gw25 because no one can call them.... the jsp is not an object
08:23.58bpalmerstatic in what context?
08:24.27azza_gw25 just a suggestion   efnet #java
08:24.33gw25<% static variable b %>
08:25.16bpalmerthe JSP gets turned into a class, though. Hmm.
08:25.28lykenwhy would you want a static?
08:26.07gw25i have different try and catch blocks trying to use a static object
08:26.21gw25otherwise i have to move the object into the catch block and merge them all
08:26.39linuxfreckgw25: <%! static int foo; %> should work
08:26.54linuxfreckthe <% %> is turned into code within a method
08:27.03linuxfreck<%! %> is outside of the method
08:27.44linuxfreckmost of the times you don't want to have static variables at all though
08:28.01lykenno
08:28.40linuxfreckno?
08:32.50lykenas in no you dont :)
08:32.54lykeni was agreeing :)

09:17.14lilalinuxdoes anybody know a good jsp editor plugin for eclipse?
09:18.17ps`lilalinux: Lomboz or WTP perhaps?
09:18.50ps`WTP requires Eclipse > 3.0 though
09:19.09lilalinuxI have 3.0
09:19.15lilalinuxwhich is better?
09:19.29ps`Lomboz is what i have used for some time
09:19.44lilalinuxthx
09:20.02ps`just make sure to read the documentation so that your pre configuration is set correctl, otherwise the jsp editor might show some strange behaviour
09:20.19ps`configuration in Eclipse that is :)

09:38.14Valentin-lilalinux WTP is much better
10:20.33kiorkyhave someone ever hear about eXo platform
10:26.45ps`WTP requires Eclipse 3.1
10:27.49ps`I tried it yesterday, all i got was a lot of error messages unfortunately.
10:29.54Valentin-ps` then you forgot to install the requirements
10:31.05ps`No i installed all requirements, all views/perspectives etc installed just fine. But when i tried creating a new J2EE nothing worked.
10:32.06Valentin-okay which eclipse version did you take?
10:33.24ps`3.1M6
10:34.27ps`i guess the platform i'm using is not the most frequent one.. that might be why (eclipse-SDK-3.1M6-solaris-gtk.tar.gz  )
10:34.49Valentin-then you didn't install the requirements
10:35.02Valentin-http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/S-1.0M3-200502260707/index.html <- everything you need
10:37.00ps`So WTP does not work with Eclipse3.1M6 ?
10:37.07Valentin-I am not sure
10:37.44Valentin-but I heard no comments about J2EEProject WIzard problems with the current version
10:38.02Valentin-which is nearly working perfectly
10:38.39ps`seems like that could be the problem then.. perhaps some api changes between M5 and M6 then.
10:39.18Valentin-perhaps
10:40.07ilyakhi all again!
10:41.07ilyakIn Resin there is a <welcome-file-list> directive
10:41.41ilyakthat lists files that should be given out if client requested directory.
10:41.41Valentin-ilyak perhaps
10:41.48Valentin-:)
10:41.50ilyakHow would i make same thing in tomcat?
10:42.19ilyakI.e. if client wants /somedir/ give him /somedir/index.khtml
10:42.23ilyakfor all dirs
10:42.24Valentin-connected with a java project or just tomecat?
10:42.49ilyakValentin-: ? Don't understand. I need to make this work in tomcat.
10:43.09Valentin-ilyak: defined globally for tomcat?
10:43.21ilyakValentin-: for one web app
10:43.27ilyakpreferabely
10:43.40Valentin-web.xml
10:43.48Valentin-of your web project
10:43.51ilyaki know, but how would i do that?
10:43.56Valentin-NOT tomcat
10:44.03ilyakValentin-: i understand
10:44.12Valentin-okay :)
10:44.20ilyakbut i don't see how exactly i map all /'s to , say, /index.khtml's
10:44.21Valentin-and what you don't understand?
10:44.54ilyakWhat servlet-mapping or anything else should i write down there. To make this working.
10:45.59Valentin-like all mvc are doing it
10:46.11linuxfreckilyak: web.xml works the same in tomcat and in resin
10:46.18linuxfreckit's standardized by sun
10:46.26linuxfreckmostly at least :)
10:46.34ilyaklinuxfreck: no, resin's one has a lot of extensions
10:46.43ilyaklike <welcome-file-list> which i'm missing
10:46.59ilyakValentin-: i know how struts, for example, map themselves.
10:47.25ilyakBut i don't really want to change code to make this just work. Is it possible?
10:47.37linuxfreckI thought that tomcat does have welcome-file-list
10:48.49ilyaklinuxfreck: but is it possible to emulate its behavior?
10:48.51ilyakSome way?
10:49.45linuxfreckat least tomcat 5 _does_ have it
10:50.12linuxfrecklike <welcome-file-list><welcome-file>index.khtml</welcome-file></welcome-file-list>
10:50.20Valentin-linuxfreck I think he doesn't mean a tomcat feature instead he wants a redirect
10:50.33Valentin-trough his web project web.xml file
10:50.45ilyaklinuxfreck: wow! I would use that
10:51.03ilyakwhat exactly part of doc is about that?
10:51.14ilyak('cause tomcat's doc is a nightmare)
10:52.45linuxfrecksomwhere in the servlet documentation from sun I assume
10:53.37ilyakOK.
10:58.12ilyakHow would web.xml documentation be called?

19:25.58javamananyone have any ideas why?
19:26.09linuxfreckget the distribution from jakarta.apache.org and install it in a directory of your choice. and don't use apache2 as frontend webserver unless you really have to
19:26.49javamanthat's probably my problem them, apache2
19:26.55javamanI really have to use it.
19:28.55linuxfreckwell I don't know any good howto myself, documentation is one of the major issues wrt the apache jakarta project
19:29.44jasonbdeRost: To my knowledge there is no such document, mainly because Debian users deemed Java to be too non-free, and have mainly just shunned it.  So, no docs for debian.
19:30.04Marv|LGummm tomcat docs are really good
19:30.30jasonbThe Jakarta Tomcat docs are decent, but they're not debian specific.
19:30.55Marv|LGdo not use debian then ;)
19:31.02jasonbExactly!
19:31.08javamaneither way, WEB-INF/ should not load
19:31.30linuxfreckI'd like to have more examples or introductory guides though
19:31.35Marv|LGare you using a default install javaman
19:31.38javamanyes

19:31.58linuxfreckjavaman: if you use mod_jk or jk2, you have to stop it at the apache level
19:32.14linuxfreckwell, depends on the jk configuration
19:32.18Marv|LGhe said port 8080
19:32.28Marv|LGi assume he is not running apache
19:32.32javamani am
19:32.53NOthsouthcan anyone help me to configurate tomcat on linux debian sarge?  I just download the tomcat 5.5.7 and extract the file on /  try to run startup.sh, and i received this: http://localhost:8080
19:32.58NOthsouthops
19:33.04Marv|LGmod_jk issue then
19:33.09NOthsouthreceived this: osho:/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.7/bin# ./startup.sh
19:33.09NOthsouthUsing CATALINA_BASE:   /jakarta-tomcat-5.5.7

19:33.09NOthsouthUsing JRE_HOME:       /j2sdk1.4.2_07
19:35.35linuxfreckNOthsouth: you probably want to ask a question
19:36.34Marv|LGmod_jk still does not let web-inf through on my servers
19:37.59NOthsouthHOw can I start tom cat?
19:38.33linuxfreckNOthsouth: exactly like that, note that you need the 1.4 compatibility package when using tomcat 5.5 and java 1.4
19:39.49linuxfreckMarv|LG: as I said, it depends on the jk configuration, if you only *.jsp is handled by tomcat, it's an apache config issue
19:41.00NOthsouth1.4 compatibility?
19:41.07NOthsouthand I don't have this?
19:41.21linuxfreckwell if you didn't install it, you don't have it :)

19:41.32linuxfreckyou can download the package from the jakarta site
19:43.22shadewinddoes the binary tomcat have any deps?
19:44.07Marv|LGI have it doing *
19:44.23Marv|LGno i take that back
19:44.24linuxfreckshadewind: 5.5 only needs the java runtime, and the compatibility package if using java 1.4 or lower
19:44.54shadewindlinuxfreck: sounds nice
19:45.05shadewindi'm tired of downloading all of the fricking deps
19:45.57shadewindi'm a poor dial-up user :(
19:47.50Marv|LGthe world is java is depends unless you want to write it yourself
20:04.22javamanmy web.xml isn't getting parsed at all
20:04.36javamanis there some sort of configuration I need to do?
20:05.54Marv|LGweb.xml are parsed by default if they  are placed in teh proper directory appname/WEB-INF/
20:06.21javamanthat's the way it's supposed to work
20:06.31javamanis there something i need to specify to declare that i have a new app?
20:06.53Marv|LGyou should add it the server.xml but it is not a requirement
20:06.55javamanI have created a directory named jspbook/ in my webapps/ dir with WEB-INF/ as a subdir of jspbook/
20:07.18javamanand it's just not getting parsed, and WEB-INF/ is viewable

21:04.40Big_BozzMarv|LG: Do you think that is a wise idea? I mean, if they don't understand why they do certain things they can easily become an ever greater menace.  (no offence to any beginners in the channel!!)
21:05.17Marv|LGdisclaimer at the top: if you have no idea what this means, turn off your computer put it in a box and send it to me
21:06.27Big_Bozz:-) lol
21:06.37Marv|LGimagine all the computers i would get
21:06.41Marv|LG1000!
21:06.43Marv|LGmillions!
21:06.52Big_BozzMarv|LG: You could start competing with Dell
21:08.17Marv|LGMarv's computers, full of virus/spyware from the users community!
21:09.16Big_BozzEquivalent to  Dell computers, pre-installed Windows XP
21:09.50Marv|LGand this is why i use a mac
21:10.52deRostIf nobody explains the "certain things", how can one be expected to learn? Trust me, it's frustrating being a newb sometimes. All these new things, overwhelming at first, and all of the experienced people shake their head at you because it should be common knowledge.
21:11.30Marv|LGprobably should be like
21:11.39Marv|LGtar zxf tomcatblah.tar.gz
21:11.56Marv|LGReason: Extraction/Uncompression of the files etc
21:13.48Big_BozzdeRost: I'm not against explaining things to people - but some people just don't bother to do any reading themselves. I always love getting my hands on some new software just to experiment - it seems that most users aren't like that anymore?!
21:15.27Marv|LGsome peoplea re not like that
21:15.36Marv|LGthey want cut and dry
21:16.15deRostI know, so do I. And I usually try to figure it out myself first. Some people are too impatient I guess, or they only learn interactively.
21:17.14deRostThing is, yer never gonna learn something unless someone, somewhere explains it to you - whether it's a website, a man page, source code comments, or IRC.
21:17.34Big_BozzdeRost: I think a problem can be there there is way too many tutorials and get started documents out there.. you can easily get confused, especially if the tutorial is for version x.y.z when you have version z.y.x  and you are not sure why things are not working ,etc.
21:17.49Big_BozzdeRost: Absolutely!

21:42.26deRostHow about a tomcat for dummies wiki? Something you can point newb to, and update with situation specific newb instructions.
21:46.27Big_BozzI think that will probably be the best thing! that would be a really nice thing actually.
