[15:17]<lvp>how do i do development with tomcat outside the webapps directory ?
[15:21]<fdcgg>err
[15:21]<fdcgg>you mean how to change webapps?
[15:21]<lvp>no, webapps is owned by root
[15:22]<lvp>i want to develop outside of webapps
[15:22]<lvp>in my home dir
[15:23]<aamgaugcd>You can add the path with your project to server.xml
[15:23]<xzzljjg>last year i did know how ... i've looked what sysdeo eclipse plugin did
[15:23]<xzzljjg>:-)
[15:23]<aamgaugcd><Context path="/vs" reloadable="true" docBase="/home/jan/coding/eclipse-workspace/VirusStats" workDir="/home/jan/coding/eclipse-workspace/VirusStats/work" >
[15:23]<aamgaugcd>To server.xml
[15:25]<lvp>thanks
[18:03]<20px_ur>hi there, for some reason tomcat started as service on windows complains about it can't read directories from remote shares mounted as remote drives, but when started with BAT script - it works fine.
[18:54]<eddgdw>What does it mean in practice (when i try to access my app via http://localhost:8180/birt-viewer/), tomcat says: HTTP Status 503 - Servlet ViewerServlet is currently unavailable
[18:54]<eddgdw>i got it running in manager.
[20:04]<zrmrrryr>I've got a servlet that takes a long time (2+ minutes) and the thread is getting forked. I tried setting connectionTimeout for AJP to no avail. any ideas?
[20:15]<kyzr>Tomcat does not qualify as a J2EE Application Server, right?
[20:15]<drssygn>Kira, tomcat is a servlet container
[20:16]<drssygn>but you can make more than that of it
[20:16]<drssygn>Kira, but to answer your question : tomcat is not an application server and does not qualify as an AS
[20:17]<kyzr>yassine: that clears things up somewhat. :)
[20:17]<drssygn>Kira, do you have experiece with specific AS ?
[20:18]<kyzr>yassine: not at all. I've only been working with Tomcat for 2 years.
[20:18]<drssygn>i asked since JBoss uses tomcat too
[20:19]<drssygn>and Jboss does qualify as an AS
[20:19]<kyzr>aaaaah
[20:19]<drssygn>if your confortbale with tomcat you will find a dosen of thing you know from tomcat's world there
[20:19]<kyzr>And JBoss is also free, yay. :)
[20:20]<kyzr>I really need to learn this stuff. I feel I know nothing about J2EE after looking at some job descriptions.
[20:20]<zrmrrryr>maybe they know nothing, and thats why they need applicants ;)
[20:21]<kyzr>redengin: at least they managed to name stuff that I've never heard of or used. >_<
[20:22]<vygsn>hey wait a minute
[20:22]<vygsn>you just asked these same questions in #eclipse!
[20:22]<vygsn>two timer :x
[20:24]<kyzr>vinse: not exactly the same, heh
[20:24]<kyzr>I'm asking about EJB and shit in #eclipse and AS in here.
[20:24]<kyzr>:P
[20:25]<vygsn>ok well, i still hope you read the specs i link
[20:25]<vygsn>otherwise you're just listening to random people guess
[20:25]<vygsn>s/link/linked
[20:25]<kyzr>cool, thankx. :)
[21:46]<drssygn>hi everyone
[22:01]<xndzd1r2>hi yassine
[22:03]<rfmrw>Hi folks. Is there a guide somewhere on how to set up Eclipse or similar to develop Tomcat?
[22:04]<rfmrw>I.e a newbie dev guide.
[22:04]<drssygn>hi heiry3gb
[22:04]<rfmrw>I want to set up a working 5.5.17 under Eclipse so I can step something in a debugger.
[22:04]<rfmrw>And I'm not really sure where to start. :)
[22:06]<drssygn>AlMaw, afaik you can check the project sources out directly from the apache.org server and then you have already a working preconfigured project in your env (eclipse)
[22:06]<drssygn>im just wondering if it was cvs or svn
[22:06]<drssygn>:s
[22:06]<rfmrw>Well, there's: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/
[22:07]<drssygn>so it was svn
[22:07]<rfmrw>The build folder in there looks more set up for ant builds.
[22:07]<rfmrw>:)
[22:07]<drssygn>do you have a svn plugin ?
[22:07]<rfmrw>Yeah.
[22:07]<drssygn>for eclipse
[22:07]<rfmrw>But I have command line svn, which is better. :)
[22:08]<drssygn>:) there is nothing better than doing the job by hand :)
[22:08]<rfmrw>Guess I'll hack the build.xml to pull a tagged release.
[22:09]<rfmrw>Hmmm. Seems it just checks out the various modules anyway.
[22:09]<drssygn>AlMaw, may i ask why you want to build your own instance of TC ?
[22:09]<rfmrw>'cos there's a *really* obscure bug I'm trying to track down.
[22:09]<rfmrw>I get blank JSPs.
[22:09]<rfmrw>But only after a while.
[22:10]<rfmrw>And only certain ones.
[22:10]<rfmrw>So it all works fine, then boom.
[22:10]<rfmrw>Nothing in the logs.
[22:10]<rfmrw>Nothing anywhere.
[22:10]<rfmrw>Just blankness.
[22:10]<rfmrw>The filters are all still working.
[22:10]<rfmrw>But it's like the jasper engine in the middle just isn't there.
[22:11]<drssygn>i assume you have set the debuging level to the apropiate value ?
[22:11]<rfmrw>It's all cranked.
[22:12]<rfmrw>I think something somewhere is just swallowing an exception with a catch (FooException) {}
[22:12]<rfmrw>That's what it looks like.
[22:12]<rfmrw>But who knows.
[22:12]<rfmrw>It's easier to step it than to work out wtf is going on.
[22:12]<rfmrw>(By looking at the source, I mean.)
[22:13]<drssygn>ok so i wish you good luck
[22:14]<rfmrw>ta
[22:23]<cs>what's good benchmarking tool for tomcat ?
[22:29]<dcjn2nfn>hi everybody
[22:29]<dcjn2nfn>I want to have symlinks in .../webapps/myservlet/WEB-INF/. I want to symlink the lib directory to somewhere else
[22:30]<dcjn2nfn>tomcat complains that it can't find the necessary libraries. is there a setting I have to tweak so that tomcat follows symlinks?
[22:30]<rfmrw>Hmmm. Where do I get org.apache.tomcat.core.* from in SVN?
[23:13]<dcjn2nfn>ok, I edited context.xml and told the context to allowLinking="true", this works for a symlink in WEB-INF/lib/ to a external jar
[23:13]<dcjn2nfn>however a link in lib to an external directory which contains the exact same thing as the jar file, just unzipped, it does not work :/
[23:14]<-- dvxn|syzzzyus xzs>http://www.bagdadsoftware.de")
[23:15]<dcjn2nfn>it's a link across a partition, is that a problem?
[23:15]<dcjn2nfn>that link to the external jar file was across the same partition though
