This is my thoughts exactly. If the examples in /test don't work, then it
would appear that there's something wrong with tomcat?

Hi Todd,
I'm running RedHat 6.2, Sun jdk1.3, apache 1.3.12. For my own stuff, I'm
doing a lot of virtual hosting. So, my context mappings are a little
different than normal. However, upon further investigation, it seems that
the servlet mappings are not working for me, either! My entries looked like
this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>test</servlet-name>
<description>
A simple servlet to test our configuration.
</description>
<servlet-class>com.westsidei.servlet.TestServlet</servlet-class>
<!-- Load this servlet at server startup time -->
<load-on-startup>4</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>test</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/test</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
As you can see, my servlet-mapping was just restating my servlet-name
parameter. When I pulled this up under /test, everything worked okay so I
assumed the servlet-mapping was working. Wrong!
When I changed the url-pattern to "/foo" or "foo" as opposed to /test, it
stopped working! Been running around for an hour trying to figure out why,
but it's beyond me. Everything is set up correctly, so there's no reason
this shouldn't work. As you stated earlier, none of the servlet-mappings in
the "test" context that came with the Tomcat distribution are pulling up
correctly, either. I even moved them out of the default location
($TOMCAT_HOME/webapps) and explicitly set a new context up in server.xml.
Still no joy.
Here's my server.xml with my explicit context:
<Context path="/test"
docBase="/usr/local/java/webapps/dist/test"
crossContext="false"
debug="0"
reloadable="true"
trusted="false">
</Context>
Here's the servlet-mapping from web.xml file that comes with the
distribution:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
servlet1
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
requestMap.Servlet1
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>
servlet1
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
/foo/bar/*
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Here's a snippet from my tomcat.log when I try to pull up
mydomain.com/test/servlet/foo/bar/myServlet:
985983892264 - Ctx( /test ): 404 R( /test + /servlet/foo + /bar/myServlet)
null
This mapping is supposed to map everything under /servlet/foo/bar/ to
servlet1 -- but as you can see, Tomcat is saying /servlet/foo, with extra
path info /bar/myServlet, doesn't exist. When I pull up
mydomain.com/test/servlet/requestMap.Servlet1 or
mydomain.com/test/servlet/servlet1, everything works as it should. So,
Tomcat is not paying attention to the servlet-mapping entry.
I think this is a problem, unless somebody has an explanation. I'm out of
ideas.
Thanks,
--jeff
