How do you default an application to http://servername/

[Aaron Pederson]

How do you default an application to come up when you hit the server on
the port tomcat is running on? For my case Im running it as
http://localhost:8080/.  Is it a server.xml setting?

Order at which Tomcat loads starts applications

[Aaron Pederson]

Can anyone provide me with the order in which Tomcat starts
applications? Specifically my applications are inside of
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Tomcat Deploy issue with v 5.0.30

[Aaron Pederson]

Hello -

 

I'm running into an autodeploy issue with Tomcat 5.0.30.

 

 

In our tomcat install we are running two applications both of which are
.war archives and reside in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/.   The issue I'm
seeing is when I run a fresh install of tomcat and drop in our
application .war files, on the initial startup and before Tomcat is
fully up I try to access the url to either one of the applications,
Tomcat seems to stop deploying the application files at random times
(sometimes WEB-INF files, sometimes .css, or .js files). Even on a
restart Tomcat does not redeploy the missing files.  

 

I've tried not unpacking the .war  by setting unpackWARs=false, in my
server.xml files.  Under this condition, if I starting hitting an
application URL before tomcat is fully started up, Tomcat seems not to
register the welcome-file-list, in the application web.xml and is
displaying the tomcat's directory structure.

 

Setup:

 

OS: Windows

Version 5.0.30

 

Tomcat is installed at C://Program Files/Company/tomcat/ and is
installed each time the our product is.

 

 



 

Has anyone seen this issue and/or found a solution?  

 

Will adding a context.xml files to each of my META-INF solve the issue?

 

 

Any help, suggestions would be much appreciated. 

 

 

Thanks,

~Aaron Pedersen
