RE: Tomcat setup question.

We use the tomcat 6 installer from Richard at RJS. Made the installation of 
tomcat itself much much easier and he includes a couple of commans to start and 
stop the server
http://www.as400pro.com/servlet/sql.tipView?key=1596&category=iSJava
 
The default tomcat install includes an HTTP server and we able to run our test 
application using that build in HTTP server but when we wanted to add SSL we 
went a different direction. We used the IBM wizard to add an out-of-process 
tomcat server to an Apache HTTP instance and then used the SSL configuration 
tool that IBM provides to add SSL to the Apache server. 
 
So we have an Apache server running SSL passing off JSP requests to Tomcat 5

Follow this link...

www.ignite400.org/news/pdf/news2002030304.pdf 

Steps
1 & 2.  I download the 4.1.31 instead of 4.0.2  so I used a different path,
than in the pdf..

I skipped Steps 3 & 4 ... Mine seemed to be already done...

I did step 5 & 6 .. Using the different path...

Step 7.. 
===> SBMJOB CMD(STRQSH CMD('/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/bin/startup.sh'))
JOB(TC1) JOBQ(REPEATING)


And waited a few moments..

And then fired off the URL : http://xxx.xx.5.39:8080/index.jsp to my
iseries, and I was done... I checked the links and the examples and it all
worked...  I altered a few jsp examples, and they recompiled...  Fired up
eclipse and copied and created a new helloworld servlet and that worked...

So I'm a very happy camper right now..

HTH,
Tim

Tim,

Is there any way you can post exactly how you went about getting Tomcat to
your iSeries?...

Thanks.

Shane

If I wanted to install the latest 5.x tomcat, is there anything different, 
I
would need to do, that I had to do to install 4.1

Thanks, Tim

The connector is what lets Tomcat communicate with the HTTP server.

I went to ignite400, and printed your pdf file...

I was able to get the tc 4.1.31 up and running in about 10 mins...  (as a
stand alone)  I'll tackle the apache plug-in tomorrow... 

I have not done the connector yet either...  What does the connector do?


Thank You...

Thanks, Tim

Tim,

The configuration file is probably in Unicode which is a double byte
character set. If you open it with something that understands Unicode 
(such
as EDTF or WordPad) it will look okay.

Also, I wouldn't mess with the version of Tomcat that IBM provides. It was
really old (and had security bugs) when IBM delivered it and IBM crippled 
it
so it doesn't compare as well to WebSphere. You can download a more recent
build from http://jakarta.apache.org (you'll need to download the 
connector
as well, I just posted the URL for it earlier
today) and it will run just fine. JDK 1.4 and the latest Java group are
strongly recommended for best results.

Yesterday, I attempted to setup the asftomcat, that is part of the apache
admin functions...

It created an Engine1, and started 'out of process'...

But there were not examples or test files... So I'm still not sure it
works...

So any how, I went to look at the server.xml file, and it was in a this
format, it looked like there was a space between each character like 
this...

< ? x m l   v e r s i o n = " 1 . 0 "   e n c o d i n g = " U T F - 1 6
" ?
> 
< S e r v e r > 
       < x m l m a p p e r : d e b u g   l e v e l = " 0 "   / > 
       < ! - -   = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =   L o g g e

s / j a s p e r . l o g "   v e r b o s i t y L e v e l = " I N F O R M

... Snip....

Did I do something wrong?

Thanks, Tim
