In summary: - For Tomcat 5.0.x, docBase is required. For some scenarios we could deduce it, but that's extra work that's not always trivial and will not be that portable to Tomcat 5.5.x. - Use relative docBases whenever possible to make WAR files more transferable across machines. - Use the other usual mechanisms, e.g. Ant filter tokens, so that only one version of the WAR file needs to be in source control. - For Tomcat 5.5.x, the behavior of the deployer is sufficiently different that this item MAY be reconsidered. Let's wait for 5.5.0, test it out, and if need be discuss the item on the mailing list BEFORE re-opening this issue or another one for 5.5.0.

This allows us to share context.xml in CVS. context.xml is placed under docBase/META-INF 2) At build time, we insert docBase with absolute value to context.xml in the build directory. The disadvantage of this is that the build products (war file) are not transferable to another machine - that's what we'd like to fix. 3) We use manager to deploy the application directly from the build directory, without copying it under catalina_base/webapps, which saves time when (re)deploying. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So what you'll do with that release is that you'll give the deployer your XML file, with the right docBase, rather than the folder name (it would copy it to webapps; this is indeed slower, but the idea is that hot deployment would actually really work if everything is consistent). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Consider the following scenario: 1. I deploy the war file (or expanded war structure) locally, it's already present on the machine where I run Tomcat. 2. The war file is not under webapps; it resides outside the server installation 3. I have put context.xml into the archive's META-INF directory, as recommended by http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/appdev/deployment.html In this case, I will supply the location of the war file when deploying using manager, and I expect the server will use the 'path' attribute for the context path. However, it shouldn't require the 'docBase' attribute, as that's already determined by the war location. After all, Jan Luehe says in his evaluation of 28272 that sometimes docBase is ignored: 'path' attribute inside META-INF/context.xml is used, whereas 'docBase' attribute is ignored (it is implicitly set to the WAR file location). Currently, omitting 'docBase' in my scenario will not work, because the server will not find the deployed application after restart. I suggest this could be fixed as follows: When manager deploys the application, then besides copying context.xml into $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost, it also maintains information about the 'docBase' of deployed applications for apps that do not specify docBase in context.xml. (This could be done by maintaining a properties file that maps file names of context.xml files in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost to real docBase locations of the applications.) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It doesn't matter with the current implementation whether that Context is defined in server.xml or in a WAR file (and I'm not sure we want it to matter). I agree that under some circumstances, Tomcat might be able to deduce the docBase for you, but that's not always the case. If you wish to make the docBase attribute optional, please open a separate request for enhancement issue in Bugzilla and explain your reasoning. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anything that I deploy with the manager app has a docBase in the Catalina/localhost/blah.xml file. If I drop a war into the webapps directory that doesn't have a context.xml file set it a docBase automatically set for it too. If docBase is not optional then the bug is that the manager app lets me deploy a war file without the docBase set. This should fail and does not. I'm not sure how this make sense though. When I deploy using the manager app is the docBase used to determine where to upload the war file to on the server? If not how would one deal with a docBase that doesn't match the location of where Tomcat decides to put the upload. Putting a relative path in there doesn't make sense to me either. If I put foo.war for the docBase in foo.war I can't just rename the war file and deploy it to another context - which would have been possible if I had not put a context.xml file in the war file. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is dropping a war file into the webapps directory no longer supported? If it is the requirements for what you can put in the context.xml file are not clear. How that file is used is also not clear. I assumed it provided default settings for fields not set in the context file created in the conf/Catalina/localhost directory, but that doesn't seem to be the case. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It does seem a bit redundant, though, since Tomcat could provide that info itself. I guess I haven't run into an issue with the way things currenly work so this arguable redundancy isn't overly important to me.
