RAD 8.0.4 on SUSE Linux 11.


When I tries to create a server, in the popup window, there is a list of the available Adaptrers such as JBoss Community. Currently it lists up to JBoss AS 6. But I need is AS7. So I went to http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/helios/ (Also tried http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/indigo) to download the JBoss AS 7.

PROBLEM: It always failed by indicating that an adapter has already in existence.

My question: Is there a way to install the JBoss AS 7 Adapter to the RAD?

Another way I can think of is to completely remove the exist JBoss AS Adapter and re-download and install it from the link above, and try to see if the JBoss AS 7 will show up. So my question is how to remove the current JBoss adapter from the RAD?


Please offer some help to resolve this issue.

I saw some sample cost analysis on RedHat Jboss EAP. It mentioned something like JDK and HTTP Server.

For instance:

CPU core#: 128

Application Server: $80,000

JDK: $25,992

HTTP Server: $2500


My question: My web app is JSP based, I do not need the HTTP server. Also, I can download the JDK for free, so I do not need the JDK, either. In this case, if I can still install and run the Jboss EAP (without the package JDK and HTTP server), to save the extra cost?



Thanks

The Tomcat will be installed on the same machine as the Eclipse IDE. To keep the development and production as identical as possible, the web app on the development environment will be named exact the same as the testing environment, such as TestApp for both, that is,

http://192.168.1.10:8080/TestApp (for development)
http://192.168.1.10:8083/TestApp (for testing)

By this way, if testing is passed, in the production, I only need to deploy to the production server and use the exact setting such as: http://192.168.1.11:8083/TestApp, without toggling the name such as TestApp and ProdApp.

I just tried to make sure that if I want to use different ports for separate apps, I actually can.

And what is the range for the ports which I can use including the 8080. And how can I determine which ports are allowed for http on Tomcat?


Thanks

P.S. Currently I am using IBM's Websphere on which I use :9080 for development and 9083 for testing something like:

http://192.168.1.10:9080/TestApp (for development)
http://192.168.1.10:9083/TestApp (for testing)

This is what I intended to do:

http://192.168.1.10:8080/Test for one app and another app is,

http://192.168.1.10:8083/Test

With all the other info kept the same except the port numbers.


I do not want to do:

http://192.168.1.10:8080/Test1 and
http://192.168.1.10:8080/Test2



Thanks

Where can I get the J2EE container security facilities? Is there some guide to teach how to implement the security?


Thanks

Installed and started the Tomcat 7 on Linux. Java 6.


What is the allowed range for the ports in addition to the 8080. I intend to run multiple Apps on the same server. So if the 8080 is taken, I'll need to use a different one for another app. In which XML file to specify the port (server.xml or context.xml)?


Thanks

Have a couple of further questions:


1) To use a Oracle JDBC driver: DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc: oracle:thin:@database","username","password");

This username and password, on the IBM Websphere, I used to specify it via JAAS property on the admin GUI. Now, for Tomcat, can I specify it in the XML file? (I do not like to code the usernamse/password in the Java program).


2) Concern the hacker attack. How easy is for the hacker to access the web server and get hold of the XML files such as server.xml and context.xml? Does the Tomcat have some way to protect it? Or it is purely up to my server hardware/software (such as server hardening) set up?


3) There is a GUI tool called Tcat to facilitate the use of Tomcat. But this tool can not be used to specify the XML files (via GUI). What is the tool generally used for?



Thanks

Installed Tomcat 7 on Linux.  Java ver 6.  IDE: IBM Rad (Eclipse)

Currently in the process to switch from IBM Websphere to Tomcat.  The web serverI am now using is IBM websphere app server 8.  It comes with a GUI admin console on which I can easily config the JNDI and JDBC data source.

Now, for Tomcat, how can I config the JNDI and the JDBC Data source etc?


Thanks
