Application Deployment in Tomcat 7.X

We are using tomcat 7.X for our project. So far we deploy only one application in tomcat.

Now we are planning to deploy one more application with existing one.

There is requirement that failure of deployment of new application should not affect existing application deployment and tomcat startup. As per my understanding, If any application deployment fails, Tomcat startup will fail.

Please let us know if there is any way to start the tomcat in case of failure of one application deployment also.

You understanding is not correct and That is the default behavior.

Expected Delay when Switching to New Version of Application Using Parallel Deployment (Tomcat 7.0.27)

For a simple web application, what is the expected delay when switching to new version of an application when using the parallel deployment process? I'm trying to do timings right now with a single Hello World JSP and sometimes there is a delay of up to 4 seconds when the new version of the application is deployed (running 5 users simultaneously using Jmeter with cookies turned off), but other times I don't see this behavior. Does anyone know if it is expected for there to be a slight hiccup in response times when the applications are deployed via parallel deployment? I understand that many applications will have initialization logic and that may cause a delay, but I'm wondering if I should expect tomcat to introduce a very small delay when switching from the old version to the new version and if so, how long should I expect that process to take.

Issue related to Deployment (Specifically Auto Deployment) in Tomcat 7

Here is the scenario

We have a build process setup from Jenkins tool to build and auto ftp the war file to the Webapps € folder of Tomcat.

In Tomcat we have deployed the SailPoint IdentityIQ toll which is a 300mbwar file.

Often the IdentityIQ application will be running few Tasks which take longer duration (5-6 hours)

When the application is executing the long running taks, though the war file is placed/updated in web apps, tomcat is unable to stop the application due to task execution and we are unable to stop Tomcat as well

We are forced to kill Tomcat and re trigger the Jenkins build.

I am looking on few options to configure on the Tomcat server side to check for any Active sessions OR threads running related to the application and abort the Redeployment/Auto Deployment

Will it be possible?

Does heartbleeding bug impact on Tomcat 6.x, 7.x and 8.x

Does heartbleeding bug impact on Tomcat 6.x, 7.x and 8.x ? I noticed that Tomcat native connector version 1.1.22 uses : OpenSSL 0.9.8 which doesn't have the heartbleeding bug, but 1.1.24 and 1.1.29 also include the buggy openssl.

How can I find which version of Tomcat uses which version of Tomcat native connector ? For example, how can I figure out which version of Tomcat native connector is used by Tomcat 7.0 build 47.

Tomcat: Behavior changed from 5.x to 7.x

I got a Problem with Tomcat deployment. I am using TC 7.0.42, OS: Win2k8r2, J 1.7.0._45.

We used to deploy unpacked webapps (dirs) on a Tomcat 5.0.26 outside the Webapps-dir. We used the manager (web-IF) to deploy these apps, giving the context name and the local directory. The tomcat ran the app from this location. It creates a .xml in it's config dir.

Now in TC7, the tomcat COPIES the APP from the given location to the default Webapps directory. But we want it to run from where it is, not a copy. One way to archieve this is to manually create a .xml file in the conf/server/localhost dir. But our deployment process needs it to be done via web interface. So, is there any possibility to configure tomcat 7 to behave like tomcat 5 when deploying local webapp directories from outside the webapps dir? I tried autoDeploy and unpackWars to false, but it didn't help. :(

Security Headers Implementation in Tomcat 6.x version

We are using Tomcat 6.x version and we need to implement the following headers in our environment.

Headers:
1) Strict-Transport-Security
2) Content-Security-Policy
3) Public-Key-Pins
4) X-Frame-Options
5) X-XSS-Protection
6) X-Content-Type-Options
7) X-Robots-Tag

When I checked the Tomcat 6 version webpage (https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/filter.html), I don't see any filters that implement any these headers. Some of them are available in Tomcat 7 version webpage (https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/filter.html), but we cannot upgrade to Tomcat 7.x version due to some constraints.

Can you kindly guide me how to implement these headers in Tomcat 6.x version. All your comments on this topic are welcome.
