48 iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition Release Notes • June 20, 2001

# Example:

# /simple=SimpleServlet\n

# @.*\\.foo=wasp

Where those "\\" characters are supposed to escape the "." extension. The intent is to run the

example

wasp servlet whenever there is a request for urls like /my/xxx.foo. Web Server 4.1 has a

defect whereby it would replace the "

/" characters or "\" characters with "/", subsequently changing

the whole semantics.

Workaround

Specify the regular expression without those "/" or "\" characters:

@.*[.]foo$=wasp

Problem 398424 (Windows NT only). The sdk_test.bat/sdk_test.sh Examples May Fail to Compile

Compiling the examples on Windows NT platforms using sdk_test.bat may not work correctly.

Follow the instructions in readme.html to compile the code manually using

javac.

Problem 450189. Server not able to start when chrooted and servlets are active

With servlets active in the default configuration, the web server is not able to start once chrooted.

Removing servlets allows the server to start and begin serving pages.

Problem 398234. The JVM does not take the system environment variables from the jvm.option

settings

If you define JVM environment variables using the jvm.option setting in the jvm12.conf file or

the Administration Server, servlets do not recognize them.

Workaround

When you are running a standalone command line java program, use the following option to pass

system properties into the java program:

java -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB myprogram

In the myprogram.java file, the following line retrieves the system property set above:

System.out.println("org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass="+System.getProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass"));

If you want to do the same thing for servlets in iPlanet Web Server, you need to put the following

line in the

jvm12.conf file:

org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB

Do not use jvm.option settings such as the following:

jvm.option=-Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB
