Steps to configure Tomcat

2011-06-12T05:53:00.001-07:00

Main configuration file for Tomcat is TOMCAT_DIR/conf/server.xml

According to javasoft standards we can create any no of web app's and run on a

single servlet container.

A web application is defined as a hierarchy of directories and files in a standard layout.

Such a hierarchy can be accessed without packing, or in a "packed" form known as a

Web ARchive, or WAR file.

There are many ways of deploying our servlets on tomcat.

1) create web application directory according to standard format under

TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory.

2) copy war file under TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory.

3) use tomcat admin tool to deploy a webapp.

4) Add a entry in the TOMCAT_HOME//conf/server.xml configuration file

Directory layout for web apps

Under the document root. we can place html , jsp and other files.

/WEB-INF/web.xml is the configuration file of our application.

/WEB-INF/classes/ to place java classes required for our application.

/WEB-INF/lib/ to place jar files required for our application.

Tomcat specific.

TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib

---------------JAR files placed here are visible both to web applications and internal Tomcat code.

TOMCAT_HOME/shared/lib

---------------JAR files placed here are visible to all web applications, but not to internal Tomcat code.

3. Copy all your java source project files in src directory.

4. Create a file “build1.properties” as

BUILDDIR = build

CLSDIR=${BUILDDIR}/classes

LIBDIR=${BUILDDIR}/lib

SRCDIR=src

5. Create a file “build.xml” as

Trying to reach cdirs target

Trying to compile the files

6. In the above Xml, where Main-Class is the main class of the project.

How to Merge Pdf files on Unix?

2010-09-25T23:51:00.000-07:00

Unix users typically use the "cat" command to combine two files. However, that will not work with .pdf files. Instead, the open source programs Ghostscript and PDFtk can be used. Ghostscript is an interpreter for the Portable Document Format (PDF). PDFtk is a tool kit for merging, splitting and attaching files to PDF documents. Both software applications are command line applications but there are graphical front ends available for Ghostscript. The software is available for Unix, Linux, Mac OSX and Windows.

1. Download and install Ghostscript and PDFtk using commands on the terminal

apt-get install gs

apt-get install pdftk

or you can download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/files/, http://www.accesspdf.com/article.php/20041130153545577
2. Open a terminal window.

3. Type the command "cd PDF_Files/" to navigate to the directory containing your .pdf files. Change "PDF_Files" to the correct directory name.
4. Type the command "gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=merge.pdf -dBATCH file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf" to merge the .pdf files into one file. Change "merge.pdf," "file1.pdf" and "file2.pdf" to reflect the names of your files.

5. Type "gs merge.pdf" to view the combined file.

or you can use online site directly: http://www.mergepdf.net

Installing LAMP On Ubuntu For Newbies

2009-11-19T21:38:00.000-08:00

Install Apache

1. Open up the Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal).

2. Copy/Paste the following line of code into Terminal and then press enter:

sudo apt-get install apache2

3. The Terminal will then ask you for you're password, type it and then press enter.

Testing Apache

To make sure everything installed correctly we will now test Apache to ensure it is working properly.

1. Open up any web browser and then enter the following into the web address:

http://localhost/

You should see a folder entitled apache2-default/. Open it and you will see a message saying "It works!" , congrats to you!

Install PHP

In this part we will install PHP 5.

Step 1. Again open up the Terminal.

Step 2. Copy/Paste the following line into Terminal and press enter:

sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5

Step 3. In order for PHP to work and be compatible with Apache we must restart it. Type the following code in Terminal to do this:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Test PHP

To ensure there are no issues with PHP let's give it a quick test run.

Step 1. In the terminal copy/paste the following line:

sudo gedit /var/www/testphp.php

This will open up a file called phptest.php.

Step 2. Copy/Paste this line into the phptest file:

Step 3. Save and close the file.

Step 4. Now open you're web browser and type the following into the web address:

http://localhost/testphp.php

The page should look like this:

Test PHP Page:

Congrats you have now installed both Apache and PHP!

Install MySQL

To finish this guide up we will install MySQL. (Note - Out of Apache and PHP, MySQL is the most difficult to set up. I will provide some great resources for anyone having trouble at the end of this guide.)

Step 1. Once again open up the amazing Terminal and then copy/paste this line:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Step 2 (optional). In order for other computers on your network to view the server you have created, you must first edit the "Bind Address". Begin by opening up Terminal to edit the my.cnf file.

gksudo gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Change the line

bind-address = 127.0.0.1

And change the 127.0.0.1 to your IP address.

Step 3. This is where things may start to get tricky. Begin by typing the following into Terminal:

mysql -u root

Following that copy/paste this line:

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('yourpassword');

(Make sure to change yourpassword to a password of your choice.)

Step 4. We are now going to install a program called phpMyAdmin which is an easy tool to edit your databases. Copy/paste the following line into Terminal:

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin

After that is installed our next task is to get PHP to work with MySQL. To do this we will need to open a file entitled php.ini. To open it type the following:

gksudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Now we are going to have to uncomment the following line by taking out the semicolon (;).

;extension=mysql.so

To look like this:

extension=mysql.so

Now just restart Apache and you are all set!

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Quick note to anyone who encountered problems with setting up the MySQL password, please refer to this page: MysqlPasswordReset

XDMCP

2009-11-04T09:10:00.000-08:00

XDMCP stands for "X Display Manager Control Protocol" and is a network protocol. It provides a way of running the X-Terminal to run on your PC (or MAC) and it uses the X Server to provide a client/server interface between display hardware (the mouse, keyboard, and video displays) and the desktop environment while also providing both the windowing infrastructure and a standardized application interface (quoted from XFree86 Project home page). The X-Terminal can be displayed with an individual window or multiple windows, based on your X window system's software capabilities and setup.
By using X and XDMCP, you can build a good, reliable and not expansive X- environment for your home or work IT solution.
If you have access to do a graphical login on the local display of the Ubuntu box, this is extremely easy:

1. Click System, Administration, Login Window. (You'll be prompted for YOUR password at this point.)
2. Select the 'Remote' tab.
3. Change the 'Style' from 'Remote login disabled' to any of the other selections. (I went with 'Same as Local')
4. Once you have changed the Style, you will now have a 'Configure XDMCP' button in the lower right. (You don't have to change anything there, but good to take a look to see what you can change.)
5. Close 'Login Window Preferences'
6. reboot the system.

Login into XDMCP and select the host that u want to connect.

SSH

2009-11-02T09:58:00.000-08:00

U can login into remote system using ssh and copy the files as follows:

Samba Server

2009-10-26T23:56:00.000-07:00

If you want to share files between your Ubuntu and Windows computers, your best option is to use Samba file sharing.

To install, first open a terminal window and enter the following command:

sudo apt-get install samba smbfs

We’ve got samba installed, but now we’ll need to configure it to make it accessible. Run the following command to open the configuration file, substituting your editor of choice:

sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

Find this section in the file:

####### Authentication #######

# “security = user” is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account
# in this server for every user accessing the server. See
# /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ServerType.html
# in the samba-doc package for details.
; security = user

Uncomment the security line, and add another line to make it look like this:

security = user
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

This will set Samba to use the smbusers file for looking up the user list.

Create a Samba User

There are two steps to creating a user. First we’ll run the smbpasswd utility to create a samba password for the user.

sudo smbpasswd -a

Next, we’ll add that username to the smbusers file.

sudo gedit /etc/samba/smbusers

Add in the following line, substituting the username with the one you want to give access to. The format is = “”. You can use a different samba user name to map to an ubuntu account, but that’s not really necessary right now.

< username > = “< username >”

Now you can create samba shares and give access to the users that you listed here.

Share User Home Directories

How to setup Java classpath in Ubuntu?

2009-10-20T22:23:00.000-07:00

The CLASSPATH is an environment variable that tells the Java compiler where to look for class files to import. CLASSPATH is generally set to a directory or a JAR(Java Archive) file.
It depends on what implementation of java you have installed, where it is installed, and a number of other things. Suppose in my system look like this:
open the terminal:

veeresh@veeresh-desktop:~$ JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/
veeresh@veeresh-desktop:~$ CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin
veeresh@veeresh-desktop:~$ export CLASSPATH
veeresh@veeresh-desktop:~$ echo $CLASSPATH
:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin

Introduction

2009-08-26T21:43:00.000-07:00

I was born at Adoni, Kurnool district, in Andhra pradesh 1985. My Father B. Narayana garu, and mother B. Lakshmi Devi garu. My father was good hardworker. He does not want to waste time unnecessarily. He cares very much about me & loving, caring & giving precautions. He is very strict in discipline towards us. My mom is very friendlier to me. She knoweth whatever things I have need of before I am asking her. My belief "Mother is the God's best gift" to everyone. I have one elder brother Narsimha Raju & sister Krishna veni. We were making funny things & quarreling always in childhood.
Adoni is a small town surrounding with small villages & with full of greenary scenarios. It is also called as "Second Mumbai" because this place is famous for cloth business.

My School days
From my early age My parents sent me to School named S.P.N.N.M convent. I began school career in 1988. I was simply sleeping in the classroom during class hours upto 3rd class. But my father was daily asking abt., the subjects. I, my brother, sister had to tell all the question & answers whatever taught in the class in every evening. Otherwise no supper in nights. So I was updating syllabus.
My father was waking up us 5:00 am daily and We had to revise the subjects from 5:00- 6:00 am. Like that daily one subject English on Monday, Telugu on Tuesday,... Hindi on saturday. He was giving holiday on every sunday.
So I was always stood Ist or IInd Rank in school. My teachers were also appreciating me. Thereby I got good impression among teachers. I got prizes for regular student because there was attendace report every year. I was getting 98-99% attendance every year. I got best student prize in my Vth class. There was my best teacher Janaki Madam. She was always knowing the problems of students, guiding & giving directions for my studies.
After my Vth class, I joined High school T.G.L.V. Govt., High School. There I faced some competition in studies. But I was maintaining my grade in top 3. i got 98/100 in Science subject in my VII class. For that I got prize & I became popular in high School. But my father want me to always as Ist Rank. He wants the best always. Anyway finally I managed my grade level.
I fond of music very much. One of my friend Suresh invited me to church ZION. I liked the piano, violin music in Sunday schools in the church. They taught so many stories & morals. I liked the simplicity & holiness in church.

College Life
M.P.C
In my Intermediate College Viswanarayana jr. College, again I faced lot of competition with different tallented students. I got 87% in Ist yr. Some other students got 92,94 %ages. I felt very unhappy. I realized the drawbacks in me after introspection in my life. They are good at English & communication skills. So they are scoring good marks in the languages which leads to be as top rankers in the class. Then I applied for improvement and I got 3rd Rank with 94%. I tried for Ist rank but I didn't get due to lack of knowledge in the languages. The first two rankers are girls. My class girls are very tallented. I was not talkative. I was afraiding of talking to girls. Anyway finally I got total 92.8% & stood top 4 in my town. For that I got BC scholarship & the top 10 rankers were published in Enadu news paper. That was my first achievement in my life.

Graduation
B.Sc M.P.IC, A.P.R.D.C, Kurnool.
After my Intermediate I have interested to do B.Tech CSE. I got good rank in EAMCET but i didn't join due to financial problems. I didn't know what should be next step life. My father was already fed up with financial problem. He didn't want me to study. he said me to do some job/work. I didn't know what I have to do. But I am very much interested to continue higher studies. I prayed God simply by telling my worries and giving concern to God. I got answer from God i.e., My High School Mathematics Teacher named Adivappa Sir helped & guided me to apply A.P.R.D.C for B.Sc.
I didn't have money to get applicaton. It costs 300/-. My neighbour had given amt. Actually he had taken rent in upstairs of my house. Finally I got State Rank 21 in A.P.R.D.C. I joined B.Sc MPIC in Kurnool in 2003.
In my first yr, full of ragging(singing, jumping like a frog, measuring with match sticks, salute) in the college. That was my first experience of ragging. I am afraiding of it. Most of the times I was escaping from ragging and spending time in library. Anyway after freshers party seniors & Juniors had good relationship like brothers. Seniors helped & guided me a lot in studies. There I knew how the life is. Because lack of facilities in the govt., college. Govt., was giving 12/- per day to each student for accommodation & food. Anyway I maintained good percentage 83% as well as enjoyed a lot like in Room day, Block day, Hostel Day, College Day festivals, cultural activities, competitions etc., This was the happiest life that I spent in my B.Sc.

Post graduation
MCA, S.V. University, Tirupati.
My specialization in B.Sc was Industrial Chemistry. I started preparation for M.Sc IC in II yr. But I changed my decission to do M.Sc physics in final yr., due to some of my teachers guidance. Finally I have written M.Sc physics entrance test & I also ICET (for MCA) bcz., of interest in CS. I got 46th rank in Sri Krishna devaray University, Anantapur. I decided to join M.Sc physics (free seat). But my Intermediate College Mathematics Lecturer named "Padmaja Madam" said me to do MCA which have lot of job opportunities comparing to MSc Physics. I am also interested in CS. But there were more financial problems in my family. Its a wild goose chase to do MCA for me bcz., I didn't have amt., or no facility of loan bcz., no one given surity even my father also. I had interest in higher studies still after my Degree. Acutally all this problem is not due to financial problem but due to improper planning to opt M.Sc/MCA. If I had a proper plan then I would have got good Campus (free) seat. Then I prayed God simply by putting every concern on him. Finally My madam & Sir helped me for Education loan. They took lot of concern on me to do MCA.
My MCA college was the worst college. I never saw such a college in my life. Even if intelligent student goes he will become dull. I wanted to left the college. But due to my Madam guidance I continued my MCA there. There was no classes, no good faculty, no good lab, etc., and also I don't know abt., computers. I felt the first program in C as Urdu language. I didn't understand anything like #include, main, etc., why all these? What's the purpose. My friends Mahukar, Chandu, Satish guided me to study Let us C-Yashwant Kanethkar. I got 66% in my MCA I sem. Its a very less percentate in my career. Having some experience I started studying on my own & going to coaching for C++, Java, .NET. in II, III, IV sems & in holidays without going to home. And also I decided to write GATE having a well plan in my MCA I yr. I attempted GATE in II yr. for practice. But I didn't get the rank first time. I prepared well & thoroughly. I got good AIR 820 with 95.4 %ile. Thus I came to know the maxim" A well thought plan has a high chance of success". I also got good percentage 74% in MCA & stood College Ist.

M.Tech CSE, NIT Calicut.
Even though I got good Rank my fate was not changed. Again financial problem. I had to pay 22,000/- admission fee to join M.Tech. My parents & sister have hope abt., my career towards job after my MCA. But still I have very much interest to continue higher studies in great IITs or NITs. I convinced them because doing M.Tech is similar to job. So I met P.S. Moorthy sir, English Retd., Lecturer, the founder of Swamy Vivekananda Samstha in my town. They helped me 9000/- and remaining amt., by my madam and some well wishers.
Some of my relatives commenting me that I am studying still without doing job. I didn't care any comments. My belief is "If you have interest you can do". That is my first preference in doing anything.
After arranging the amount, I came to NIT Calicut counselling with my friend Mallikarjun Reddy (Jubilee mate). He got 95.8 %le in GATE. But he didn't get call letter here unfortunately because he forgot to include study certificate (for his M.C.A VI semster) while applying. We tried to convince admin people so much but no use. Actually my friend is also from poor background family. Even though I got seat here, I felt very sad abt., my friend's fate because he is the best friend. Anyway he got seat in NIT Rourkela.
In my first semester, I thought that its easy very to study because all the syllabus is same as in MCA. But the way of teaching, Exams, Technical things are very high level here. After realizing, I changed my way of studying according to this pattern. I am very good at programming skills but not in Engineering. I believed that implementation is more important than other things. But after meeting with my HOD, I came to know that Engineering is more important than implementation. Anybody can do implementation if design and engineering is perfect. The programmer is only average human being.
I got some good friends, enjoying in programming, good climate, visiting places, facing high competition from keralians in studies. I have never seen such a cool & peaceful place like kerala in my life. This time my grade is 7th place because here they have good basics in their B.Tech & some experienced QIP students. Anyway I am very happy to be within Top 10 positions. I got 8. 16 CGPA in I year.
