tclouser,

is the jboss in your webappdeploy a directory or an ear file?

Dear All,

Based on example provided by TC on connecting JBoss+Tomcat<->Apache using mod_webapp, I've made necessary changes in jboss.jcml, but to no avail.
While with mod_jk (Ajp13Connector), I can only connect to http://localhost:8080/jboss, no Tomcat's contexts accessible.
Following message was printed at the console when I executed run_with_catalina.bat :
==========================================
[INFO,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] Starting EmbeddedCatalinaSX....
[INFO,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] Building Http engine and connector
[INFO,Default] Apache Tomcat/4.0.1
[INFO,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] HttpConnector Opening server socket on all host IP addresses
[INFO,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] HttpConnector[8080] Starting background thread

[INFO,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] Ajp13Processor[8009][0] Starting background thread
[INFO,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] Ajp13Processor[8009][0] Background thread has been started
===================================
Referring to above message, both HTTPConnector and AjpConnector were loaded. I don't know where this HTTPConnector came from, neither do I remember when I enabled it. Is it loaded by default? If so, can it be disabled? I want to have one & only webserver, that is, Apache. I've looked into the JBoss-2.4.4_Tomcat-4.0.1\jboss\conf\catalina\jboss.jcml, but couldn't find any entry related to it.
I also noticed that EmbeddedCatalina never reads the server.xml located in JBoss-2.4.4_Tomcat-4.0.1\catalina\conf directory. Is this by design?
Have I missed something here?

So, does anyone know how to disable the default HTTPConnector and use the WarpConnector instead?

Many thanks in advance,

VV

virtue,

You would need to make an entry for each additional web application (war, or ear) you deploy:

WebAppDeploy arms conn /arms
WebAppDeploy jboss conn /jboss

The above provides connectivity to two web applications. Also remember that under the JBoss+Tomcat you need to deploy your .war/.ear to ..\jboss\deploy

HTH,

TC

[tclouser]

ampingbulabog,

jboss is the sample application that comes with the JBoss+Tomcat bundle. It is deployed as an .ear in the ..\jboss\deploy directory.

HTH,

TC

[virtue]

TC,

Thanks for your response. However, the real problem is I haven't been able to build the physical link between JBoss+Tomcat and Apache, via WarpConnector<->mod_webapp.
The WarpConnector didn't show up in the console when I executed run_with_catalina.bat. It should be noticable if it'd been loaded properly, am I right?
Thus, the real question is :
"What is needed to load the WarpConnector in order to talk to mod_webapp at Apache's side?"

Again, lots of thanks for your attention.

Sincerely,

VV

[tclouser]

Virtue,

Here are the relevant configs that worked for me...

httpd.conf (added the following):

LoadModule webapp_module modules/mod_webapp.so

AddModule mod_webapp.c

WebAppConnection conn warp localhost:8008
WebAppDeploy arms conn /arms
WebAppDeploy jboss conn /jboss
WebAppInfo /webapp-info

jboss.jcml ():

<!-- Embedded Tomcat 4.x with Warp Connector -->






The only time I see something in the log is when I try to go to an URL that matches a defined pattern, but has not content (i.e. http://localhost/jboss), in which case I see:

[ERROR,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] [org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConnec
tor] Connection from localhost/127.0.0.1:3002 to localhost/127.0.0.1:8008
[ERROR,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] [org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConfig
urationHandler] Filter mappings (0)
[ERROR,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] [org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConfig
urationHandler] Filter mappings (0)

But if I go to a good URL (http://localhost/jboss/index.html) everything works as expected.


HTH,

TC

[syzero]

TC,

I have try your config, it doesn't work, when I look at the
error_log of Apache, it says that the Handshake with warp
has problem, but I try the following config, it works.


8008
org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpEngine
warp


if I am wrong, please correct me.

syzero

[tclouser]

syzero,

The config I listed works fine on my machine. I am running NT SP6 with JBoss 2.4.4+Tomcat4.0.1 and Apache 1.3.22. I have not error in my Apache Error Log.

But if your config works for you...go with it.

TC

[tclouser]

All,

The following two lines in my example:

WebAppDeploy arms conn /arms
WebAppDeploy jboss conn /jboss

The first represents an app I am working on. You should not include this in yours (unless of course you too have a web app with the context of arms.

The second line represents the context of the example shipped with the JBoss 2.4.4 + Tomcat 4.0.1 Bundle.

TC

[ampingbulabog]

I still have some filter mapping errors but other than that Tomcat+JBoss+Apache is working. I just applied the changes recommended by tc.

Would somebody know the cause of this filtermapping errors?

[syzero]

TC,

I am running on RedHat Linux 7.2, the version of JBoss,
Tomcat and Apache are the same as you, but I still get
error using your config. Finally, thanks for your input,
I learn much from you.

syzero.

[gkanel]

Dear TC,
As syzero I have tried the configuration in a linux box. To be more specific it is SuSE linux 7.1 (kernel 2.4.0) with Apache 1.3.14 with latest budle of Jboss 2.4.4 + Catalina. After too many tries I have no results. Do you know if anybody has succeded to configure the all of them (apache+catalina+jboss) in a linux box with the web_app module.

Best regards
George

[tclouser]

gkanel,

The answer to your question is found in earlier postings to this thread.

But since I am typing already, I will give you the answer. jtwomey tested mod_webapp without success on Linux. For the time being stick with mod_jk.

TC

[ampingbulabog]

gkanel,

I basically followed TC's setup and it worked. One more thing. Deploy in the webapps directory of catalina.

WebAppConnection conn warp localhost:8008
WebAppDeploy examples conn /examples

Even if you specified the full path it would append it to /usr/local/catalina/webapps. The catalina examples worked flawlessly except for some errors in filter mapping.

I also made the mistake of changing the jboss.jcml on the conf/jboss directory. I later found out that the jboss.jcml in the conf/catalina is the one loaded when you run the scrupt "run_with_catalina.sh".

One more mistake that i made is typing:
http://localhost/examples
instead of:
http://localhost/examples/
it worked.

I dont know why "http://localhost/examples" is not converted to "http://localhost/examples/" when the file examples is not found.


My Linux setup:
Redhat 7.2
apache 1.3
Jboss 2.4.4+Tomcat 4
mod_webapp.so

[virtue]

Dear all especially TC,

Thanks for your helps. I've successfully connected Jboss+Tomcat to Apache. And as TC said before about the filter mapping errors, they occured when I started Apache.
Although the WarpConnection has been established, however, static contents (eg: images) which are supposed to be served by Apache were unable to download, and the browser seemed constantly busy. I suspected Apache had failed to do its job for static requests due to some improper configurations.
What settings have I missed or misconfigured? What should I set the Document Root (httpd.conf) to? I currently have it set to D:\www\apps (which has been designated as Jboss deploy directory).

Many thanks for your concern,

VV
