I am running httpd + mod_jk + 2 tomcat servers in Ubuntu. When I submit a form in a non-Latin language I get garbage in the DB.
If I submit the same form through Tomcat directly bypassing httpd everything looks good.
following is my configuration:
/etc/apache2/conf.d/charset:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
tomcat1:
< Connector port="8080" protocol="AJP/1.3" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
tomcat2:
< Connector port="9080" protocol="AJP/1.3" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="9443" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
JDBC connection:
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myapp?useEncoding=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8
/etc/apache2/mods-available/jk.conf (the same file I set up my loadbalancer)
JkOptions +ForwardURICompatUnparsed
Am I missing something?
Thank You!
I found my problem, I mixed up the HTTP connector with the AJP connector which was declared twice in Tomcat's server.xml . The second declaration did not even include the attribute URIEncoding.
<Connector URIEncoding="UTF-8" port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" connectionTimeout="10000" keepAliveTimeout="10000" redirectPort="8443"/>
work fine for me

There are thousands of articles on how to set up HTTPS in either tomcat or at the application level in your spring boot application. But I didn't find a way to configure tomcat for an application that already has configured HTTPS.
I've already set up my spring boot application to run on HTTPS by configuring these properties:
server.port=7070
server.ssl.enabled=true
server.ssl.key-store-password=my_password
server.ssl.key-store-type=PKCS12
server.ssl.key-store=keystore-path
server.ssl.key-alias=key_alias
And it perfectly works when I run my IDE(Intellij) and serves on https://localhost:7070 on my machine.
On the other hand, When I deploy my app into the tomcat. it runs on the port of tomcat which is defined on server.xml connector. for instance :
<Connector port="7071" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" />
By doing so, The connector port in tomcat overrides the port number on the application.properties.
So if I want to run my application in HTTPS in tomcat, Documents says I need to define a new connector, for example :
<Connector port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
maxThreads="150" SSLEnabled="true">
<SSLHostConfig>
<Certificate certificateKeystoreFile="conf/localhost-rsa.jks"
type="RSA" />
</SSLHostConfig>
</Connector>
or
<Connector port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol"
maxThreads="150" SSLEnabled="true" >
<UpgradeProtocol className="org.apache.coyote.http2.Http2Protocol" />
<SSLHostConfig>
<Certificate certificateKeyFile="conf/localhost-rsa-key.pem"
certificateFile="conf/localhost-rsa-cert.pem"
certificateChainFile="conf/localhost-rsa-chain.pem"
type="RSA" />
</SSLHostConfig>
</Connector>
But these ways, I have to configure my Keystore, password, alias, and ... again in my tomcat.
I'm wondering is there any other way around not configuring again my Keystore, password and .. again in tomcat?
No, there is no other way around it. server.* properties are only applied when running the application in an embedded container. When deploying to an existing Tomcat instance, they are not used.
I have Tomcat 8 installed in my server in port 8080 that I am exposing with a secured Apache (using Proxy Pass).
Here is my Apache configuration:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName myserver.com
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /odata/ http://172.31.36.251:8080/
ProxyPassReverse /odata/ http://172.31.36.251:8080/
<Proxy *>
allow from all
</Proxy>
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Port 443
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Scheme https
</VirtualHost>
Here is the Tomcat server.xml configuration
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443"
address="172.31.36.251"
proxyName="myserver.com"
scheme="https" proxyPort="443" />
All works well until here. If I call my application:
https://myserver.com/odata/D3a1593adae89/odata.svc/
I get:
<service xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2007/app" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xml:base="https://myserver.com:443/D3a1593adae89/odata.svc/">
<workspace>
<atom:title>Default</atom:title>
<collection href="Maintables">
<atom:title>Maintables</atom:title>
</collection>
</workspace>
</service>
The problem: If you see the attribute xml:base in the result, Tomcat decorates the address with the port and I really don't know how to remove it. Also the address is wrong: It should be https://myserver.com:443/odata/D3a1593adae89/odata.svc/ . I been looking around and trying things like setting proxyPort to blank but nothing. I think this is related to broken links when using a reverse proxy as described at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HTTPD/TomcatModProxyHTML . I tried some rewrites like:
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://172.31.33.105:8080 /odata
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/odata$ https://myserver.com/odata/ [R,L]
But I just cannot make it work. The xml:base should be https://myserver.com/odata/D3a1593adae89/odata.svc/
Any idea is appreciated
For the port thing, as you use ProxyPreserveHost On and you set X-Forwarded-* headers, you can use the RemoteIpValve:
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteIpValve" remoteIpHeader="X-Forwarded-For" protocolHeader="X-Forwarded-Proto" />
The connector will be simply:
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="443"
address="172.31.33.105"
/>
The valve detect the proto and will assume the connection is secured with the default port number (https://xxxxx/yyy).
For the location, you should deploy your application in the odata context so that you can use
ProxyPass /odata http://172.31.33.105:8080/odata
modifying the context on the proxy pass (from /odata/ to /) is somehow tricky as you would need to filter all text coming from your backend server to fix some url path. It can be really painful ( should I replace all "/xxx" with "/odata/xxx" ? )
I installed tomcat and I executed start.sh. Tomcat started.
I checked the port 8080 with the command
lsof -i :8080
There isn't any process running in this port.
How can I know in which port is running tomcat and change this port?. I have already used the port 8080 and I need to change
EDITED
I changed the connector por to 8081
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443" />
I checked
lsof -i :8081
There isn't any process.
How can I check the tomcat port?
You should open conf/server.xml and look for a Connector tag like:
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443" />
Set the port attribute to the desired value and restart the server.
apache tomcat(8.0.36)
1.I have added .htaccess file in root then also its not working
2.I have added following code in server.xml
<Connector connectionTimeout="20000" port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
disableUploadTimeout="true"
compression="on"
compressionMinSize="2048"
noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata"
compressableMimeType="text/html,
text/xml,text/plain,text/javascript,text/css,application/json"/>
I'm wondering whats the easiest way to change some settings in tomcats conf/server.xml configuration file through a ksh script?
For example, I want to change the default ports on these 2 snippets:
Replace this:
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />
With this:
<Connector port="8081" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />
And,
Replace this:
<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
With this:
<Server port="8006" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
Many thanks!
I guess you want to change this in the config? This would be a simple sed, you can make it a bit safer by adding more than just the number:
sed -i 's/8005/8006' server.xml
