tabElem Error

[Husain Hakimuddin]

Hi,

Installation note of an application says:

1. If you are using Tomcat 5.x, you will encounter query encoding issues.

You must enforce proper decoding of URI parameters in the connector. You
can do it by adding this attribute to the connector spec. in server.xml

URIEncoding="UTF-8"

An example connector should look similar to this one:

<Connector port="8080"
maxThreads="25" minSpareThreads="5" maxSpareThreads="10"
minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="25" enableLookups="false"
redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
URIEncoding="UTF-8" />

If you use direct Apache connectors (AJP), a similar attribute must be added.

I'm on Apache/2.0.59 (Win32) mod_jk/1.2.18 PHP/4.4.4 and I added the following to my server.xml:

(from line 116 to 121)
    <!-- Define URIEncoding Connector on port 8080 -->
    <Connector port="8080"
        maxThreads="25" minSpareThreads="5" maxSpareThreads="10"
        minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="25" enableLookups="false"
        redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000" 
    URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
    
    -->

but I still get the error:

HTTP Status 404 - /app/tabElem

type Status report

message /app/tabElem

description The requested resource (/app/tabElem) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.17

Yes, I'm new to java and I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, please help.

Many Thanks,
Husain
