http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15950 automatic assignment of context path leads to http 404 errors for servlets Summary: automatic assignment of context path leads to http 404 errors for servlets Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.1.18 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In /tomcat-docs/appdev/deployment.html a method is described to deploy a web app, ie: "Copy unpacked directory hierarchy into a subdirectory in directory $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/." I'm a total newbie and there may be a way around this but I've spent 2 days trying to figure out why my servlets work when I put them in the examples folder but not when I put them into a folder created as above. It appears that the docbase Tomcat creates this way is an absolute path that is not recognized when trying to run any servlets in /WEB-INF/classes. It just gives HTTP 404 errors saying the requested resource is not available. When I edited server.xml to change docbase="F:\Tomcat\webapps\myProjects" to just "myProjects" everything worked fine. Several folders created by Tomcat, including ROOT and tomcat-docs, also have absolute paths in server.xml and I could not get the servlets to work in these folders either until I changed to relative paths. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
