Yum install tomcat on Linux

This tutorial shows how to perform a Tomcat 7 installation using the yum installation utility.
The pre-requisite for installing Tomcat is that you have a JDK on your machine, if you haven't got one, you can install it by executing as root user:
[root@localhost ~]#  yum install java
Next you can start installing Tomcat. There are at least two ways for installing it:

Installation option 1:

Move to http://tomcat.apache.org/ and download the latest stable release of Tomcat. Once done, unzip it to a folder where you have writing permissions:
[tomcat@localhost ~] $ unzip apache-tomcat-7.0.53.zip

Once installed, you can start Tomcat by executing from the TOMCAT_HOME/bin folder:
[tomcat@localhost ~] $ startup.sh

Installation option 2:

You can use the yum utility for installing Tomcat. At the time of writing, just Tomcat 6 is available on the yum repository. You can install it by running:
[root@localhost ~]# yum install tomcat6 tomcat6-webapps tomcat6-admin-webapps

The tomcat6-webapps is not mandatory as it contains some sample applications. The tomcat6-admin-webapps should be installed as it contains the administration application which is deployed as a web application. 
Once installed, you can include it as a service which starts at boot and start it:

[root@localhost ~]#  chkconfig tomcat6 on
[root@localhost ~]#  service tomcat6 start

Checking that Tomcat is running

The simplest way to check that Tomcat is running is by surfing to the address http://localhost:8080 which should show the welcome page:
If you are going to check it by shell, you can use the following methods to check that Tomcat is running:
[tomcat@localhost ~] service tomcat6 status
tomcat6 (pid 4470) is running...                           [  OK  ]

[tomcat@localhost ~] netstat -nlp | grep 8080
tcp        0      0 :::8080                     :::*                        LISTEN      4470/java           

[tomcat@localhost ~] ps -ef | grep tomcat
tomcat   1937     1  1 11:04 ?        00:00:08 /usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin/java
                                                       . . . . . . .

Where has yum installed Tomcat ?

If you have used yum to install Tomcat, the following defaults have been user for Tomcat installation:
Tomcat Service Config: /etc/tomcat6 (main config directory)
Release Notes        : /usr/share/doc/tomcat*
Bin Directory        : /usr/share/tomcat6
Webapps              : /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
Logs                 : /var/log/tomcat6

Tomcat Websocket example

A WebSocket is a full-duplex communication mechanism that allows both textual and binary messages to be sent between clients and servers, without the HTTP request/response life cycle. WebSockets allow either the client or the server to send a message at any time, providing an asynchronous solution for working with data while the user is performing a task. Websockets API are included in Tomcat 7 Web server distribution so you don't have to download any extra library: In this tutorial we will show how to create a WebSocket example using Apache Tomcat and Eclipse. Start by creating on Eclipse a new Dynamic project named websocket-example : We will now create a server side class named WebSocketDemo that is going to echo messages from a Javascript client: package com . sample ; import java . io . IOException ; import java . nio . ByteBuffer ; import javax . websocket . OnMessage ; import javax . websocket . Session ; import javax . websocket . server . ServerEndp...

Tomcat maxThreads configuration

Tomcat maxThreads represents the maximum number of request processing threads to be created by the HTTPConnector. < Connector port= " 8443 " protocol= " org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol " maxThreads= " 250 " SSLEnabled= " true " scheme= " https " secure= " true " clientAuth= " false " sslProtocol= " TLS " connectiontimeout= " 20000 " /> This determines the maximum number of simultaneous requests that can be handled. If not specified, this attribute is set to the default value of 200. How the process works: At server startup, the HTTP Connector will create a number of processing threads based on the value configured for the minSpareThreads attribute. Each incoming request requires a thread for the duration of that request. If the number of simultaneous requests cannot be handled by the currently available request processing threads, additio...

Tomcat session listener example

As part of Servlet 2.3 specification, we can now make use of session creation and destruction events. Our listener object will be called every time a session is created or destroyed by the server. You can use two interfaces as listener for your Session: HttpSessionListener triggers the listener when a new session is created or destroyed HttpSessionBindingListener triggers the listener when an Object is bound/unbound from the Session HttpSessionListener example: package com.sample; import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener; import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionEvent; public class SessionCounter implements HttpSessionListener { private static int activeSessions = 0; public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent se) { activeSessions++; } public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se) { if(activeSessions > 0) activeSessions--; } public static int getActiveSessions() { return activeSessions; } } As you can see, all you have to do is implementing two meth...
