In Resin 3.0, we had this configuration and it didn't have a problem. Actually, I recall that we did in an early version of 3.0.x, but the problem was corrected in the later versions.
There are two reasons why we explicitly had the <web-app> tag in resin.conf in resin 3.0: - On our test environment only, I want to specify some security constraints to the root web app. to prevent access, for example: > <web-app id="/" document-directory="webapps/ROOT"> > <security-constraint> > <web-resource-collection> > <web-resource-name>test</web-resource-name> > <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> > </web-resource-collection> > <auth-constraint> > <role-name>intranet</role-name> > </auth-constraint> > </security-constraint> > > <login-config> > <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> > <realm-name>Mariner Supply</realm-name> > </login-config> > > <security-role> > <role-name>intranet</role-name> > </security-role> > </web-app> In production, we didn't want this security constraint. - In our development environments, we specify a different name for the war file and we want to assign it to be the root application in the host. For example, we have > <web-app id="/" document-directory="webapps/go2marine_store"/> On 03/22/2011 12:31 AM, Daniel López wrote: > AFAIK, you either place the .war file in webapps or define the directory > using an explicit web-app tag, but having both is not necessary and just > seems to confuse Resin. > > S! > D. > > El 22/03/2011 1:03, Keith Fetterman escribió: >> I am experiencing a problem in resin 4.0.16 where resin is not expanding >> the ROOT.war file if I explicitly define the root webapp in resin.xml >> file.
