Bug ID: 57467
Summary: Tomcat 8.0.14 - Using the Wrong Webapp Directory?
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: 8.0.14
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: mark.bar...@adp.com
It looks to me like Tomcat 8.0.14 is trying to use the wrong directory when
trying to load a web app.
In my server.xml, in my <Host> element, I have name='wapp1_001" and appBase=””.
In my <Context> element, I have path=”/src” and docBase=”webapps/src”
I would expect Tomcat to use $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/src for the /src context, but
it's not. It's trying to use $TOMCAT_HOME/src. Why?
Both TOMCAT_HOME and CATALINA_HOME are set to /usr/local/tomcat, which is a
symbolic link to /usr/local/tomcat8, which is a symbolic to
/usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.0.14.
When I use appBase="/usr/local/tomcat/webapps" things work just fine. Notice
that "webapps" is now in both appBase and docBase.
When I use appBase="webapps" things work just fine as well. Notice that
"webapps" is redundant again.
Buth when I use appBase="" it doesn't work.
The Tomcat 8 configuration docs seem to say that the default for appBase is the
"webapps" sub-directory of $TOMCAT_HOME, as it always has been.
I have had this same problem on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux. JDK is
1.8.0_25 (64-bit) in both cases
Am I missing something here? Did somethning change between Tomcat 6 and Tomcat
8. Or is this a bug in Tomcat 8.0.14?
