Sure. I realize that. But after more fishing around in the auto deployer
of Tomcat, it seems that there are greater issues within Tomcat itself. If
I rename the war to demo#application.war, with unpackWAR set to true, I get
the following error:
SEVERE: Exception fixing docBase: {0}
java.net.MalformedURLException: no !/ in spec
at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
at
org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.fixDocBase(ContextConfig.java:889)
The application still tries to launch, but fails miserably:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base
/usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0/demo/webapps/demo/application does not
exist or is not a readable directory
If I turn off the unpackWAR setting, the first error goes away (as it is no
longer trying to unpack the war), but it still fails on the second error -
it is still looking for the war as demo/application.war instead of
demo#application.war.
>From a cursory inspection, it looks like the # naming convention wasn't
thoroughly tested out for these types of scenarios in Tomcat's autodeployer.
Either that, or I am missing something somewhere obvious.
Thanks,
Eric
