server.xml

I have added the following lines in tomcat's conf/server.xml file to enable gzip compression but its not working. Pages are still uncompressesd. <Connector port="8080" compression="on" compressionMinSize="2048" noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata" compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/plain,text/css, text/javascript,text/json,application/x-javascript, application/javascript,application/json"/> Any idea? If Tomcat is fronted by Apache on port 80, you will need to enable compression in Apache itself. The compression in Tomcat will only work if you access it directly on port 8080.

I have a webapp on a Tomcat server that allows files to be uploaded. There is a limit on the size of a file upload, and I'd like that limit to be enforced preemptively (ie, once you cross the limit, the file upload fails, rather than transferring the whole file, checking that it's too big and then sending an error). I tried to do this by add maxPostSize="1000" to the connector section in the relevant connector in server.xml, but I can still upload larger files. I've seen a post indicating that maxPostSize only works for a specific content type. So my question is whether what I'm doing is

Is there an option to encrypt keystorePass value in tomcat server.xml ? I don't want it to be a plain text <Connector port="8403" //... keystorePass="myPassword" /> If someone has access to your server.xml, the plain text value of your keystorePass appearing are only one of your worries. If someone has access from there, they could do much more harm. Encrypting the password here is really just moving the problem elsewhere as then someone could find the encryption key for this encryption key (a bit like a Russian doll). If you want to encrypt the password, you have to override the Connector
