  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Setting up Struts/Tomcat to work with MySQL. Not working from Plesk!

I have a Tomcat (struts) applicaiton that I am deploying from Plesk. I have a user set up in MySQL that the app can connect to and everything works fine on my test box. However, I can't connect from my Tomcat application after I deploy it to my web server with Plesk.

I have even connected to MySQL with a regular Java application via JDBC, but my connection pool does not work. I get this exception--"java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission accessDeclaredMembers)"

Any ideas? I can login to MySQL just fine from the command line or a JDBC appication. But no-go from Struts/Tomcat!

Here's the chunk of my strtus-config.xml file that does the data source:

<data-sources>
<data-source key="mykey" type="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
<set-property property="description" value="Ubilik Database"/>
<set-property property="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
<set-property property="username" value="myuser"/>
<set-property property="password" value="mypass"/>
<set-property property="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/test" />
<set-property property="maxCount" value="3"/>
<set-property property="minCount" value="2"/>
</data-source>
</data-sources>
 
Solving my own problem.

The issue is the catalina.policy file. On the server I am using Tomcat runs with the security policy in place. I have made a few changes there and I think I'm going in the right direction. I have to make one more change to get JDBC ok to run.
