  1. Introductions • Two decades in software development • Software Engineering Solutions, Inc. www.swengsol.com • Technical Reviewer: Core JavaServer Faces 3rd Edition • “Top 1000” reviewer at Amazon.com.

  2. Why another Tomcat book? • Current focus is on administrators • Tend to view Tomcat as a black box • Exactly HOW does it do what it does?

  3. Pieces of the Puzzle • Java EE • HTML over HTTP • Servlet Container.

  4. Java EE

  5. Uniform Resource Locators context path servlet path path info query string path parameters scheme host port http:// www.swengsol.com :80 /myWebApp ?id=x123 ;jsessionid=… /invoices/EditInvoice /adobe

  6. HTML over HTTP

  7. Servlet Specification • WAR file format • Servlet • Filter • Listener • Session • web.xml

  8. Servlet Container Interaction

  9. Concurrency

  10. The Tomcat Servlet Container Nested Components Top Level Components Containers Connectors

  11. Container Overview • A valve: • Extends Tomcat functionality • Is Tomcat-specific • Must be super-efficient Note the shading … Pipeline pattern Context helpers our “baby server”

  12. Containment: Server and Service Protocol-specific processing Protocol-agnostic processing <Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> <Service name="Catalina">

  13. Containment: Connectors <Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1" … />

  14. Containment: Catalina Engine <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost” baseDir=“…”> … </Engine>

  15. Containment: Virtual Host • Each FQHN resolves to a specific IP address • Needs dedicated IP addresses IP-based

  16. Containment: Virtual Host • Multiple FQHNs resolve to a single IP address • Host: request header interrogated • Simple but requires help with SSL Name-based

  17. Containment: Virtual Host Relative to CATALINA_BASE <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" … >

  18. Containment: Context Vendor-agnostic Vendor-specific <Context path="/examples" ...> Relative to appBase Context Fragment locations: META-INF/context.xml CATALINA_HOME/conf/<EngineName>/<HostName>/<contextPath>.xml

  19. Containment: Another View

  20. Advanced Topics: Java Class Loading First Principles • Benefits • Late Binding (assembly of functionality) • Security (single choke point) • Customization (encrypt, generate, locate) • Variance across Time • Variance across Space • Isolation Zones

  21. Advanced Topics: Java Class Loading First Principles • Rules • Consistency (always return same instance) • Delegation (security) • Visibility (Delegation hierarchy + CL inversion)

  22. Advanced Topics: Java Class Loading First Principles • Available Options • Implicit class loading:MyClass myClass = new MyClass() • Explicit class loading:ClassLoader ldr = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();Class cls = ldr.loadClass("MyClass");MyClass myClass = (MyClass) cls.newInstance();

  23. Advanced Topics: Java Class Loading • Lets you override core JDK classes • JAVA_HOME/lib/endorsed • No parent • Native code in JVM • Core Java classes from rt.jar • JRE_HOME/jre/lib/ext(implicit CLASSPATH) • Classes on CLASSPATH • Truncated by Tomcat • CATALINA_HOME/lib • Visible to web apps and Tomcat code • Directory configured in [catalina.properties] • Visible only to Tomcat code • Directory configured in catalina.properties • Visible to all web apps • WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib • Delegates to parent for standard Java classes

  24. Advanced Topics: Web Application Class Loading [1] [3] [2]
