A good wiki site for Sun Java web server information

Friday Sep 26, 2008

I found this site has a lot of good and useful information about Sun Java Web server.

See more at

http://wikis.sun.com/display/WebServer/Sun+Java+System+Web+Server

e.g. you can go to the FAQ at

http://wikis.sun.com/display/WebServer/FAQ

For example,  I just solved a customer problem with the entry about

    <If $headers{'user-agent'} =~ "foo">

See more at.

Two Sun Alerts for Search in Sun Java Web server

Tuesday Jul 29, 2008

There are two such Sun Alerts for XSS, one is for Search and the other is for Advanced Search.

 You can see Search like below:

and Advanced Search as follows:

You can see the Sun Alerts at

http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-66-231467-1

and

http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-66-236481-1

The best is to upgrade to the latest SPs as listed in above Sun Alerts.

In case you cannot upgrade right now, and need to do the workarounds for now (then upgrade later), then please remember to do workarounds for BOTH Sun Alerts, e.g.

for Search,

" 

4. Workaround

To work around the described issue, edit the default search web
application file named "index.jsp" which is located at
"<WS-install>/lib/webapps/search/index.jsp" to remove the line containing the text
"out.println(s);".

"

and for Advanced Search,

"

4. Workaround


The following file can be edited to workaround this issue:

by removing the following lines:

<input type=hidden name="next"
value="<%=rquest.getParameter("next"blogs.sun.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" class="smiley" alt=";)" title=";)" />%>">

"out.println(s);"

"

 I saw some only do one, but not the other. So, try to write this here , so you know you need to do BOTH Sun Alerts.

Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 Service Pack 9 International Release

Friday May 23, 2008

I tried the latest web 6.1 SP9 International Release.

You can download it at

Sun Download link

The installation is the same easy.
It will ask one more question about Default Language.

See ScreenDump118.gif  below for the choice of default language.

I tried Traditional Chinese because I am in Hong Kong.

Then, everything works the same well in the installation and later startup.

The good results are now localized default pages and error responses, e.g.

See ScreenDump111.gif  below for the default home page after install

See ScreenDump112.gif below for the localized Chinese NOT FOUND error responses after install

I opened the config files and found this below  in magnus.conf

DefaultLanguage zh_tw  

So, I experimented and tried to change it to

#DefaultLanguage zh_tw
DefaultLanguage ja

then I restarted the web server and hit a page which does not exist.

It will show me Japanese Not Found error responses.
See ScreenDump119.gif below  for the JA responses.

Hope this will add more local languages you need in your site.
