Hello Mark,
Thanks for the reply. I am interested in finding where the
Document Root is for my application ("applicationName"). As I
understand, since my Catatlina_Home = "c:\tomcat" and the "<host>"
tag in the server.xml specifies "appbase='webapps'", it should be
under c:\tomcat\webapps...but it is not.
Thanks again.
And it will only be there if you actually deploy the WAR file to
Tomcat (and unpackWARs is set to true).
It may be in a different directory if you use a context file. This is
how NetBeans operates. It may not even exist (if unpackWARs is set to
false).
What are you doing that requires knowledge of Document Root? BTW,
document root is really an Apache HTTPD concept, and not an Apache
Tomcat concept.
I just want to place a favicon in the document root.
How can I do this?
Again, the default tomcat favicon was shown up until (I think) when I
changed one of my projects' context path from "applicationName" to "/".
Since then, the favicon has disappeared and I would like to see it again
(and to have a better understanding of these things since I hope to deploy
to a web server in the coming months).
Maybe this will help your basic understanding :
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo#How_do_I_make_my_web_application_be_the_Tomcat_default_application.3F
And maybe additionally, a comparison with Apache httpd :
Under Apache httpd, there isn't really a "default application", but the top of the URL
space (what you get when you request a URL such as "http://hostname/";) is defined by the
DocumentRoot directive in the webserver configuration file.
(And by default, it is something on disk like : ../Apache2/htdocs/).
Under Tomcat, things are a bit different : there is not really a "DocumentRoot"; instead,
there are multiple "web applications", all equal and at the same logical level, each one
of them defined separately in its own sub-directory of (tomcat_directory)/webapps/.
Among those equal webapps, one is a little bit more equal than the others however, and
acts as the "default webapp" (what a client gets when it requests the URL
"http://tomcat_hostname/"; (*) : that is the application located at
"(tomcat_directory)/webapps/ROOT/" (capitals important).
(*) or any other URL which Tomcat cannot clearly map to another webapp

Hello,
I am using tomcat 8.0.22.0. My Catalina_Home is set to
"C:\tomcat". IDE: Netbeans. Language: Java.
For some reason, when I deploy a web application in Netbeans
that has the name "applicationName" and context path:
"/applicationName" I do not see the application in the
c:\tomcat\webapps folder. Can someone help me figure out
what is not configured correctly? All I see is 4 folders
"docs, examples, host-manager, manager." Interestingly, if I
undeploy one of these 4 folders in netbeans, then this change
is reflected immediately in path c:\tomcat\webapps (ie: I see
3 folders). However, as I said, deploying "applicationName"
does not result in the folder being available in
c:\tomcat\webapps (as it should).
The whole reason I got into this was because I stopped
seeing the tomcat favicon in my application all of a sudden
(I suspect because I changed the context path from
"/applicationName" to "/"). Now I would like to see the
favicon and would like to understand why I am not seeing the
deployed application where I should.
My application is deployed successfully and runs fine (I just
don't see it in c:\tomcat\webapps).
Thank you.
This is due to how NetBeans deploys to Tomcat. NetBeans creates a
config.xml file and copies it to
%CATALINA_BASE%\conf\Catalina\localhost\appname.xml
Inside the appname.xml, there's a docBase that points to where you
built your application (for me it's
ProjectName\target\artifact-id).
This then makes use of Tomcat's default configuration to trigger
reloads of your web application when certain resources are
changed.
Here's a link on how that deployment works:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/manager-howto.html
Look for Deploy using a Context configuration ".xml" file.
