Tim,

Thanks. Sorry to trouble you this far. But i'm still struggling to make it work.

I made few changes.

1) Left server.xml alone. Added Realm configuration into context.xml and removed roleSearch.
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm" debug="4" connectionURL="ldap://localhost:10389" userSubtree="true" userSearch="(cn={0})" userPattern="cn={0},ou=employees,o=csRepository" userPassword="userPassword" />

2) Changed web.xml
<auth-constraint> <role-name>*</role-name> </auth-constraint>

Other than the mysterious question of why it's not working, I'm wondering why I don't see any logs.
Only log I see is
WARNING: [SetPropertiesRule]{Context/Realm} Setting property 'debug' to '4' did not find a matching property.
when tomcat starts.

I tried in server.xml after commenting out the default realm configurations. But still no results.

Here are 2 things I would like to bring to notice.
1. I'm running tomcat using eclipse. So the configuration is done through eclipse. (It does detect the realm as I got Connection exception when ldap server was stopped.)
2. I have confirmed that the username and password information is correct. Below is a standalone program that I used to test.

// input String cn = "John Eipe"; String dn = "cn=John Eipe,ou=employees,o=csRepository"; String password = "*****"; Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"); env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://localhost:10389"); env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple"); DirContext ctx = null; ctx = new InitialDirContext(env); // Bind with found DN and given password ctx.addToEnvironment(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, dn); ctx.addToEnvironment(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password); // Perform a lookup in order to force a bind operation with JNDI ctx.lookup(dn); System.out.println("Authentication successful");

Tim,
Sorry. That was totally out of desperation.

I placed it within
<Realm> <Realm ... default definiton here...> <Realm ... mine goes here...> </Realm>

Any suggestions guys?
Looks like tomcat sub-forum is dead or is it that tomcat is no more used by anybody!!!

Yes. I mean beta version.

1. Shadow effects for the DIVs doesn't really go well with the theme.

See 1.png. A thin border with no shadow effect will look better.

Advertisement that appears at the bottom of the page is placed within the content div.

See 2.png.

I tried placing it outside and still it doesn't work. :-(

Is it because i have placed it within the existing Realm definition?

I have the following entry in LDAP (ApacheDS)
dn: cn=John Eipe,ou=employees,o=csRepository objectclass: top objectclass: inetOrgPerson objectclass: person objectclass: organizationalPerson cn: John Eipe sn: Eipe description: the fist and the single employee as of now mail: johny@mail.com userpassword:: e21kNX1YWlBPdHc0 dn: cn=adminRole,ou=employees,o=csRepository objectClass: top objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames cn: adminRole uniqueMember: cn=John Eipe,ou=employees,o=csRepository

I'm trying to configure LDAP realm on Tomcat.
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm" debug="99" connectionURL="ldap://localhost:10389" connectionName="uid=admin, ou=system" connectionPassword="***" userSubtree="true" userPattern="cn={0},ou=employees,o=csRepository" userPassword="userpassword" roleBase="ou=employees,o=csRepository" roleName="cn" roleSearch="(uniqueMember={0})" />

Contents of the application's web.xml
<security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>Servlet is protected from POST calls</web- resource-name> <url-pattern>/secure</url-pattern> <http-method>POST</http-method> <http-method>GET</http-method> </web-resource-collection> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>JSP page protected from any access</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/secure.jsp</url-pattern> <http-method>GET</http-method> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>adminRole</role-name> </auth-constraint> <user-data-constraint> <!-- transport-guarantee can be CONFIDENTIAL, INTEGRAL, or NONE --> <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee> </user-data-constraint> </security-constraint> <login-config> <auth-method>FORM</auth-method> <form-login-config> <form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page> <form-error-page>/index.jsp</form-error-page> </form-login-config> </login-config> <!-- Security roles referenced by this web application --> <security-role> <role-name>adminRole</role-name> </security-role>

Tomcat refuses to log in and I'm directed back to index.jsp. What am I missing?

Yes it got fixed. Are you still facing any issues.

Hi

I had been learning RMI and successfully completed it on my local machine. But how do I make it work in a Network.
Also, How do I pass the Interface and the stub to the client machine?

Thanks,

Hi

I have a small application that does the following.
input from JSP page -> Controller(updates a db table based on input) -> Page Controller(populates the contents of db table into an ArrayList<....> and sets it as session attribute) -> (JSP reads the value of that session attribute).

When I run this program, it works the first time. Then, I close my browser, and opens it to run it again but nothing gets displayed on page!!!

Thanks,
John

Oops. Sorry. Changed it to
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix="sql" %>

And it's working fine

Changed the uri's to
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/sql" prefix="sql" %>
Now it's showing the same error at line no.14

Hi

I'm using core and sql tag libraries.

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix="sql" %> <%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> <%@taglib prefix="p" uri="/WEB-INF/tlds/Bill" %> <sql:setDataSource var="dataSource" driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/csr" user="root" password="toor" scope="session" /> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Cart</title> </head> <body> <sql:query var="productlist" dataSource="${dataSource}"> select * from cart </sql:query> <c:forEach var="product" items="${productlist.rows}">


I'm getting error - "According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute items does not accept any expressions" at line no.17. After some googling, found out that the problem is with the uri. How do I find the correct URI to be used in taglib directives?

Also, How does the JVM map the uri to classes in JSTL jar files?

Thanks,
John
