01:27.07arricherekkMHSL, are you around?  I've done more googling and realized that I'm missing the LogFactory class.  I downloaded commons logging like you instructed me to, and put it in my Catalina_Home\common\lib directory.  I'm still getting the same error.

03:58.33|matteo|hi all
03:58.45|matteo|i need to expose my tomcat server to the outside
03:59.02|matteo|so I have configured my web server to proxy requests to it
03:59.21|matteo|i map the /jsp url so I proxy it to tomcat
03:59.40|matteo|but then tomcat needs to remove the trailing /jsp/ from URLs
03:59.52|matteo|my web server isn't apache, it can't rewrite URLs
04:00.12|matteo|can tomcat strip the trailing /jsp before to handle any request?

12:45.44matteohi people!
12:48.13matteoI want to add a prefix to all my tomcat URLs
12:48.31matteoeg http://site/ => http://site/jsp/
12:48.42matteoeg http://site/app1/ => http://site/jsp/app1/
12:48.55matteocan I do it without url rewriting on the proxy?
12:51.27kjkoster5489You can perhaps use a servlet filter, or use Apache httpd. :)
12:58.14matteoyes I can
12:58.19matteobut my frontend is very simple
12:58.40matteoit's lighttpd, it can't rewrite urls and proxy altogether
12:58.58matteowith apache i will ProxyPass and use the ajp connector

14:28.29localtHello, this might be the wrong place to ask this question, so please redirect me to the right channel if you think it's appropriate... I would like to have 2 "sites", the front site, using http and a web application using https requiring a login. The login screen is on the http site, BUT I want to send the login credentials over https to the second application... Can this be done safely?
14:33.02MHSLthat sounds fine
14:33.31localtMHSL: Is it safe? Also, how do I do that, just put https:// redirect on the submit action?
14:33.33MHSLyou can simply submit the login credentials through https
14:34.15MHSLif you just want to protect the login credentials, that should be enough, but of course your subsequent requests will not be safe
14:34.27localtAnd what if it's on a different sub-domain, lets say hosting the front page on GoDaddy or something and sending the https request to members.domain.com?
14:34.40MHSLdoesnt really matter
14:35.05localtActually, after the login is completed, a new window is opened using https redirect
14:35.29localtThank you very much, I will start implementing the split today!

14:54.01pirx_hi! how can i query tomcat which contexts are currently running?
14:54.17localtanother quick question, how do I auto start on boot using 'tomcat' account, not the root account? I'm using Ubuntu Linux
14:56.17MHSLpirx_, servletContext.getContextPath()
14:56.45MHSLlocalt, either create your own tomcat startup script or use jsvc
14:58.11localtMHSL: I have my own script on /etc/init.d , I guess I'm asking how to get that script to execute tomcat with the tomcat account (sudo ?!)
14:58.52MHSLeither that or su
14:59.00MHSLsu to tomcat
14:59.51localtThanks!

15:06.59MHSLpirx_, you can try to use jmx
15:07.20aNOOBisaI am running Tomcat5.5.27  on debian etch and it opens a lot of processes each with its own pid, usually I have only one pid and one process, this is very unusual behaviour, does anyone know what is going on?
15:08.33MHSLaNOOBisa, which kernel version?
15:11.24aNOOBisa2.6.18.8
15:11.30aNOOBisaits a xen vm though
15:11.55aNOOBisaMHSL its 2.6.18.8-xen
15:18.09aNOOBisaI have Apache Tomcat/5.5.27  Java 1.5.0_14-b03 and kernel  2.6.18.8-xen on two machines, one is i386 the other is amd64 the issue only appears to be on the i386 vm

18:04.53lawnchairi've noticed that tomcat does not support get requests only GET requests in the http servlet
18:04.57lawnchairis there any way to add "get"
18:05.03lawnchairor make it not case sensitive
18:05.14lawnchairor add a method...
18:05.19lawnchairid hate to edit the source
18:08.21jasonbtakes a random look at his book's amazon sales rank today, after not looking for months, and finds it #1 on the Apache books chart!
18:10.22*** join/#tomcat Vanuatoo (n=Vanuatoo@92.54.192.70)
18:21.55jasonblawnchair: GET request mapped to what?
18:22.10lawnchairwhat
18:22.13lawnchairi just mean ....
18:22.24lawnchairGET /index.html works where as get /index.html does not
18:22.35jasonbA servlet can support more request methods by implementing service() to handle it.
18:22.56jasonbOkay, so you're wondering about requests that are mapped to the DefaultServlet.
18:22.57lawnchairreports back 501 rfc 2068 method not supported etc
18:23.02lawnchairi suppose
18:23.06lawnchairi just want to support get /index.html
18:23.16lawnchairbecause some external clients are sending us "get" not "GET"
18:23.21jasonbWell, you may need to modify the DefaultServlet source then.
18:23.21lawnchairid like to be able to support that
18:23.24lawnchairnod
18:23.30jasonbBut, that's just one servlet.
18:23.37jasonbIt happens to be a servlet that is bundled as part of Tomcat.
18:23.49jasonbBut, your webapp can map those requests to any default servlet it wants to.
18:24.01jasonbYour webapp can bundle a modified DefaultServlet, for example.
18:24.11*** join/#tomcat nixblicker (n=nixblick@dslb-088-072-199-100.pools.arcor-ip.net)
18:24.31lawnchairhmm, so can i dump something somewhere without modifyign the source
18:25.19lawnchairsorry im new to tomcat... any details would be great
18:25.44jasonbDownload the Tomcat source code bundle.  In there, do a search for DefaultServlet.java.
18:25.52lawnchairgot it
18:26.00jasonbEdit that file and change the service() method to handle your "get" method.
18:26.39jasonbThen, recompile DefaultServlet.java..  and bundle your class of it in your webapp.
18:26.50lawnchairgotcha
18:26.50lawnchairalright, that sounds easy enough
18:26.54lawnchairthanks for the help
18:26.56jasonbThen, find the DefaultServlet mapping in Tomcat's conf/web.xml directory, and copy that and put it in your own web.xml and modify it however you like.
18:27.02lawnchairnods
18:27.05lawnchairi see
18:27.09jasonbYou're quite welcome.
18:27.38jasonbOh, and you may want to comment out the DefaultServlet mapping in Tomcat's conf/web.xml file.
18:27.43lawnchairalright
