I dont want my users to see tomcat console. Any advice?

[ryan webb-2]

Dear Tomcat users,

*Situation:*
- I have internal web application (corporate web site only).
- I don't have Domain, user access our site using example:
http://107.105.13.236/webApplication/.

*Problem:*
- Users see tomcat manager console site when they type in URL
http://107.105.13.236/

*Question:*
- I don't want users to see the tomcat manager console site. Is there some
sort of redirection to webApplication?
I want users to see our webApplication when they typed in
http://107.105.13.236/

any advice, help, our suggestions are greatly appreciated

God bless,
Ryan Webb - Philippines

Ryan... try this

Make a new web app call it ROOT
Then in the JSP page add something like

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=/webapp/index.jsp">

Drop it into tomcat...

I cant remember the deatails off hand, but because the ROOT that comes with
TC is precompiled, it wont listen to you if you change it directly.
Copy the old root out, just in case you change your mind later.
Also make a note of the URL on the default page, so you can still get at the
admin stuff.

Have fun

Mr. Johnny Kewl,

Thank you very much for your quick reply.
I get what are you trying to say.

except on the last part:
< Also make a note of the URL on the default page, so you can still get at
the admin stuff.
what note? please write simple example.

You're right, if I restricted the users from seeing Tomcat Manager console,
that means I cannot also get in.(if i use another computer).

Sir, would you recommend me some resources, websites about what i am trying
to accomplish?

God bless,
Ryan Webb - Philippines

1. Don't configure the manager application as the ROOT application. Change
it back to how it is in a default install.
2. Re-enable security so a username and password is required to access the
manager app (this is also how the default install is configured)
3. Make your application the ROOT application.

The Tomcat docs should provide all the information you need for
configuration. Ask here if you need any help.

Nothing complicated... you taking your admin page away and all I want you to
note is the links on that page
like
http://localhost:8080/manager/html

so that by just typing that into the browser you can still admin tomcat.

That ROOT is nothing more than just another webapp and is often used as an
index page to navigate a whole site.
If you dont want to redirect, you can make it a normal Welcome page with
links.
The admin stuff is still there... if you know the links... thats all
You can still get in ;)

if you use the meta tag

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=../webapp/index.jsp">

Then you can stick up those typical pages you see on the Web...
You should be redirected in 2 seconds... blah blah

Nothing special other than the ROOT webapp... has no context name.
Its just another Webapp...

The only problem that can happen is that sometimes if one is hosting with a
SP... the SP wants the root to list everyones webapps.
TC is cool ;)

Better yet, just rename your own webapp to ROOT and use that.

Hi,

I'm successfully using trim-directive-whitespaces in my web.xml file,
clearing unecessary white spaces from my pages. The only problem is that
.tag files content is not affected by this directive. Is there a way to
make it work? I've searched a lot for it and couldn't find anything...

I'm using the following directive at this moment:

    <jsp-config>
      <jsp-property-group>
        <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
        <trim-directive-whitespaces>true</trim-directive-whitespaces>
      </jsp-property-group>
    </jsp-config>


Any suggestion?

Thank you all!

What happened when you added this:

<jsp-config>
     <jsp-property-group>
       <url-pattern>*.tag</url-pattern>
       <trim-directive-whitespaces>true</trim-directive-whitespaces>
     </jsp-property-group>
   </jsp-config>

Did it produce an error, or just no effect?

Hi Hassan,

No effect. I think that's because we never reference .tag files
directly. My guess is that when tomcat engine compiles .tag files into
.java files, it ignores my trim-directive.

Do you know how this directive work? Does it remove white spaces in
every request (like a filter) or during compiling time?

Thank you!

Probably -- it was worth a shot, I figured :-)

No idea, but it you've got it working for JSP files, it should be pretty
easy to compare the compiled files in /work with and without it.

I'll answer my own question here. I guess this directive takes effect
during compile time 'cause when I try to pre-compile my jsps with the
<url-pattern>*.tag</url-pattern> in my web.xml file, I come accross with
the following error:

"file: /appFolder/WEB-INF/tags/fields/data.tag(1,14) <%@ attribute
directive can only be used in a tag file"

I think it won't be possible to trim white spaces from .tag files uwing
this directive then...

If minimizing white space is critical for you, you might try something
with the String taglib  -- maybe wrap a string:squeeze around the
whole tag body. Just a first-cup-of-coffee thought...  :-)

OK Hassan, thanks a lot! If I could get this directive working with .tag
files I would appreciate a lot more, but if I couldn't find a way, I'll
try your suggestion!

Just a final questions: should it be working or not? I mean, ths
specification for trim-directive-whitespaces says that it could not work
in these cases?

Thanks a lot for your time!

Have you try converting your .tag files to .tagx files?

Actually, the 2.1 spec says:

"As of JSP 2.1, it is possible to have extraneous whitespaces removed from
template text through element trim-directive-whitespaces of JSP Property Groups
(See Section JSP.3.3.8, "Removing whitespaces from template text"), or the page
and tag file directive attribute trimDirectiveWhitespaces (See Section
JSP.1.10.1,
"The page Directive", Section JSP.8.5.1, "The tag Directive")."

So looks like a little more experimentation is in order  :-)
