PostHeaderIcon SizeLimitExceededException: the request was rejected because its size (…) exceeds the configured maximum

Stacktrace

On deploying a WAR in Tomcat:

org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase$SizeLimitExceededException: the request was rejected because its size (128938160) exceeds the configured maximum (52428800)

Quick fix

Edit the file $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml
Replace the block

  <multipart-config>
       <!-- 50MB max -->
        <max-file-size>52428800</max-file-size>
       <max-request-size>52428800</max-request-size>
        <file-size-threshold>0</file-size-threshold>
      </multipart-config>      

with:

  <multipart-config>
       <!-- 200 MB max -->
        <max-file-size>209715200</max-file-size>
       <max-request-size>209715200</max-request-size>
        <file-size-threshold>0</file-size-threshold>
      </multipart-config>
       

PostHeaderIcon Tomcat: How to deploy in root?

Case

You have a WAR to deploy on Tomcat, let’s say jonathan.war for instance. Usually, the application will be reached through the URL http://machine:port/jonathan.
Let’s say you would like to exclude the WAR name from the address, ie the application to be reached on http://machine:port/. This operation is called “to deploy in root”, since the context will be simple slash: '/'.

Solution

You can implement that with two means:

  • rename the war as ROOT.war, then deploy.
  • or: edit conf/server.xml, replace
    <context>

    with

    <context path="" docBase="jonathan" debug="0" reloadable="true"> 

PostHeaderIcon (long tweet) Undeploy issue with Tomcat on Windows

Case

I had the following issue: when I undeployed the WAR from Tomcat using the manager instance, the undeploy failed. As a workaround, I had to restart Tomcat for the undeploy to be taken in account.
This issue occured only in Windows ; when the exact same WAR and the same version of Tomcar on Debian, I was able to deploy and undeploy many times.

Quick Fix

In the %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\context.xml, replace:

<Context>

with:

<Context antijarlocking="true" antiResourceLocking="true"/>

PostHeaderIcon Tutorial: Tomcat / OpenJMS integration

Install and Config

  • Let’s assume you would like to run OpenJMS and Tomcat on the same server, eg myLocalServer
  • Download OpenJMS from this page.
  • Unzip the archive, extract it to C:\exe\openjms-0.7.7-beta-1
  • Set an environment variable:set OPENJMS_HOME=C:\exe\openjms-0.7.7-beta-1
  • Take the archive $OPENJMS_HOME/lib/openjms-tunnel-0.7.7-beta-1.war
    • copy it to: $CATALINA_HOME/webapps
    • rename it as: openjms-tunnel.war
  • Edit OPENJMS_HOME/config/openjms.xml:
    • Before the ending tag</connectors>, add the block:
      <Connector scheme="http">
            <ConnectionFactories>
              <ConnectionFactory name="HTTPConnectionFactory"/>
            </ConnectionFactories>
       </Connector>
    • After the ending tag </connectors>, add the block:
      <HttpConfiguration port="3030" bindAll="true"
             webServerHost="myLocalServer" webServerPort="8080"
             servlet="/openjms-tunnel/tunnel"/>


Run applications

  • Launch $OPENJMS_HOME/bin/startup.bat. The following output is expected:
    OpenJMS 0.7.7-beta-1

  • Launch Tomcat. A webapp with path /openjms-tunnel and display name “OpenJMS HTTP tunnel” should appear.


Checks

    • Open Console² or an MS-DOS prompt
    • Go to $OPENJMS/examples/basic
    • Run: build. This will compile all the examples.


Check that OpenJMS is OK:

    • Edit jndi.properties,
      • Comment the property
        java.naming.provider.url
      • Add the line:
        java.naming.provider.url=tcp://myLocalServer:3035
    • Run:
      run Listener queue1
    • Open a second tab
    • Run:
      run Sender queue1 5

      • Expected output in the second tab:
        C:\exe\openjms-0.7.7-beta-1\examples\basic>run Sender queue1 5
        Using OPENJMS_HOME: ..\..
        Using JAVA_HOME:    C:\exe\beaweblo922\jdk150_10
        Using CLASSPATH:    .\;..\..\lib\openjms-0.7.7-beta-1.jar

        Received: Message 2
        Received: Message 3
        Received: Message 4
        Received: Message 5


Check that OpenJMS/Tomcat link is OK:


Manual Check

    • Stop the Listener instance launched sooner
    • Edit jndi.properties,
      • Comment the line
        java.naming.provider.url=tcp://myLocalServer:3035
      • Add the line:
        java.naming.provider.url=http://myLocalServer:8080

        (this is Tomcat manager URL)

    • Run: run Listener queue1
    • Open a second tab
    • Run:
      run Sender queue1 5
    • The expected output are the same as above.


GUI Check

  • Stop the Listener instance launched sooner
  • Ensure jndi.properties contains the line:
    java.naming.provider.url=http://myLocalServer:8080
  • Run: $OPENJMS_HOME/bin/admin.bat

    • A Swing application should start.
    • Go to:
      Actions > Connections > Online
    • The queue queue1 should be followed by a ‘0’.
    • Run: run Sender queue1 50

      • Action > Refresh
      • The queue queue1 should be followed by a ’50’.
    • Run: run Listener queue1

      • Action > Refresh
      • The queue queue1 should be followed by a ‘0’.

PostHeaderIcon GWT in noserver mode with Tomcat or WebLogic

Abstract

You would like to work on the client side of your GWT application, without building and deploying the Jetty server. Or, in the same way, you need test some server features available in WebLogic but not in Jetty, such as the EJB.
GWT 2.0 documentation, at the segment How do I use my own server in hosted mode instead of GWT’s built-in Jetty instance? is not precise at all on the 3rd step: it simply states:

“change the URL at the end of the argument list to match the URL you recorded in step #1.”

Process

  • Let’s assume your WAR is deployed on http://distantMachine:8080/myApplication. The servlet container may be Tomcat or WebLogic, it does not matter
  • In Eclipse, go in “Run Configuration...“. Duplicate your current and classic GWT application configuration.
  • Go in Server , uncheck “Run built-in server“.
  • In Arguments tab, write the following line:
    -noserver -remoteUI "${gwt_remote_ui_server_port}:${unique_id}" -logLevel INFO -war C:\eclipse\workspace\myApplication\src\main\webapp\lalou.jonathan.web.gwt.MyApplication -startupUrl http://distantMachine:8080/myApplication lalou.jonathan.web.gwt.MyApplication
  • Run
  • The application is available at the following address:
    http://distantMachine:8080/muyApplication/?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997
