JSP FAQ

From Lunarpages Web Hosting Wiki

Here are some frequently asked questions we get about our Lunarpages web hosting JSP support:

Does LunarPages provide any cryptography libraries?

LunarPages provides the default Java Cryptography Encryption (JCE) provider which comes with J2SE. Unfortunately, you cannot add any other provider dynamically and would have to use only this provider for your cryptography purposes.

Do you support JNDI on your servers?

We do not officially provide support for it, but we have had instances where our customers have successfully implemented it on their websites, without compromising stability.

Do you support multibyte characters on your servers? (Multibyte = Unicode)

Yes, we do. However, this feature is not available as a default, and all multibyte strings must be treated using an explicit call to the getBytes() method. For info on getBytes(), visit http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html

Please note that we will not change the default character set on our servers, as doing so will break our existing customer's codes.

What are the available JDBC drivers?

We currently provide standard ConnectorJ and mmMySQL JDBC drivers.

Do you provide support for Tomcat?

We do not support Tomcat on our shared hosting accounts. This is due to the fact that Tomcat uses more server resources than Resin. If you require Tomcat, you will need to look into our Dedicated hosting options.
