Re: Servlet directory?
Me again,
Forgot to mention that in TC4.1.12 and above, the invoker servlet is off
by default. You will have to map it to a different url in the web.xml.
Something other than servlet. Then change the diagnostics urls to match.
>From Tim Moore,
You have two choices for how to fix this problem.
1. You could go into tomcat/conf/web.xml and re-enable the servlet-mapping
for the invoker (it's just commented out). This is the fast way.
2. You could create a URL mapping in your webapp's web.xml file for and
then use that URL to access it. This is the better way. The invoker
servlet can be dangerous, and it's now recommended that you leave it
disabled.
You'll need to map your servlet to a URL.
So that being said, I think you should do something like,
For example, add this to your web.xml in the
TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/arcimsServletConnector/WEB-INF/
com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap
/com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap
And then go to
http://your_server/arcimsServletConnector/com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap?CMD=connectorping
http://your_server/arcimsServletConnector/com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap?CMD=appserverping
I haven't tested the correct way, I just uncommented the system web.xml
file. I only do local host stuff on my desktop for developing.

It's under this directory, /WEB-INF/lib or /WEB-INF/classes of any webapp that you have. Then define the servlet for the web app in web.xml .

Re: Servlet directory
The way you are trying to access this servlet implies a couple of assumptions: 1. Your servlet is in the default package. That is to say that it exist in WEB-INF/classes and not some directory deeper inside of that. 2. Your class is all lower case "myservlet" since that is how it is written on the URL your provided below. I think it is probably likely that #1 is true. However, I'm guessing that #2 is not. The general practice for naming classes is to use Capital letters for each distinct part of the class name. For instance, you probably named your class "MyServlet", not "myservlet". As such, the URL you provided won't work. It should be: http://localhost:8080/myapp/servlet/MyServlet Note that and entries in your own web.xml have nothing in particular to do with accessing your class through Tomcat's default servlet invoker which is mapped to /[your context]/servlet/*. The other thing you should look at is that the directory that your app is running out of exists in: "$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myapp" make sure that "myapp" is in all lower case. Oh, and make sure that there are no spaces in $TOMCAT_HOME. If you have it installed in a directory like "Program Files", you can do the following (on Windows). I'll use my setup as an example. $CATALINA_HOME=C:\Progra~1\Apache~1\Jakarta\tomcat-4.1.8 The original path is: C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Jakarta\tomcat-4.1.8 Just use the tilde's to fix directory names which have spaces. The names with tilde's can be no more than 8 chars long. Restart Tomcat after using the hints above and things should work just fine.

Default servlet / directory listings: different settings per context
Hello,
I'm well aware how to globally enable or disable directory listings within
Tomcat (by modifying the "listings" parameter of the "default" servlet).
However, I don't know how to set this up correctly context-by-context.
Here's what I've tried:
- copying the and elements "as-is" from the
"global" web.xml to the web.xml of a particular context. This doesn't work,
as the context is not initialised due to the duplicate servlet definition.
- copying the and elements from the "global"
web.xml to the web.xml of a particular context, but changing the name in
both elements to "default2". The context starts, but the servlet is never
invoked (the default global servlet seems to intercept and process the
request, because the request is handled as expected from the global web.xml,
but not according to the params of the context's web.xml).
I don't want to remove the "global" definition of the "default" servlet,
because that becomes somewhat tedious if I've got to copy it to each context
I deploy. This is also unsuitable when I wish to deploy a WAR file, as I
have to unpack it and modify it's web.xml. Furthermore, I can't leave the
"default" servlet's definition in any redistributable webapp that I create,
because it's not guaranteed that the implementing class
("org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet") will be available on other
servlet version, or if the class is the same version.
How can I achieve the desired configuration?
Thanks in advance,
-Chris B.

RE: Tomcat Servlet Directory
With JServ, we are able to have multiple servlet directories mapped to Unix home directories( i.e.. /home/user1/servlets, /home/user2/servlets, . . . ). This is very convenient for development. That is why I want to change the servlets directory. -Matt -Original Message- From: Larry Isaacs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 9:37 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Tomcat Servlet Directory The answer would be that is isn't configurable. The Servlet 2.2 spec introduced the concept of a web application, which is an archive with a predefined internal structure that includes the "WEB-INF" directories. This web application archive is supposed to be universally deployable. It is up to the servlet container how it chooses to deploy the web application. It so happens that Tomcat deploys to a directory structure that matches the jar, but servlet containers are not required to do so. The only requirement is that the classes contained in the archive's "WEB-INF/classes" and "WEB-INF/lib" be made available only to that web application.

RE: Tomcat Servlet Directory
The answer would be that is isn't configurable. The Servlet 2.2 spec introduced the concept of a web application, which is an archive with a predefined internal structure that includes the "WEB-INF" directories. This web application archive is supposed to be universally deployable. It is up to the servlet container how it chooses to deploy the web application. It so happens that Tomcat deploys to a directory structure that matches the jar, but servlet containers are not required to do so. The only requirement is that the classes contained in the archive's "WEB-INF/classes" and "WEB-INF/lib" be made available only to that web application. The spec doesn't require that these location(s) be made configurable. Tomcat doesn't currently support this, and isn't likely to support it. Is there some reason you don't want to put your servlets in the WEB-INF/classes, or in jars in the WEB-INF/lib?

Handling for WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib is mandated by the Servlet 2.2 and later specifications.

IIS with Tomcat: Change default servlet directory
Hi All, I've installed Tomcat on Winnt4 with IIS4 and I've followed the instructions in "Tomcat IIS HowTo" to let IIS cooperate with Tomcat. It works if I set the home directory of my Web site in IIS to d:\tomcat (for my case, TOMCAT_HOME = d:\tomcat). I can run the servlet examples included in Tomcat successfully. Now I decide to change the home directory of my Web site in IIS to another directory (for my case, new home directory = d:\myWeb) and also put my servlet classes into another directory e:\myServlet. However, I don't know how to set config files to let my servlet classes be executed. Would anyone help me with an example for my case? Thanks in advance!! Albert __ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: class path to the servlet Directory
In fact, you need a jar package for your application to work. In this case, you can put your jar package in the %TOMCAT_HOME%/lib directory. Tomcat will load it at startup.

Basic servlet directory question
First of all, I'm sorry for posting such a basic question, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for anywhere. Some eight months ago, I configured Tomcat to work with IIS and serve the servlets. All I need to do now is add another servlet directory. Try as I might, I can't remember how I did this originally and looking through the myriad of docs on Tomcat isn't helping. I can't remember which configuration file(s) I had to edit in order to add the container, and what modifications I had to make. The Tomcat docs talk a little bit about the server.xml file, and they link to Sun's site for info on editing the web.xml file. Will I need to edit both of these? Here is an example of what I need to do: I have a normal content directory called /Test I want to add a servlet container to the following directory: /Test/Servlet/ I want all pages in the /Test directory to continue being served by IIS If anyone could point me in the right direction as to which docs detail this, I would be greatly appreciative.

RE: Servlet Directory
Hi,
Just to spell things out a bit clearer:
The code for a servlet class, and any non-library
classes it uses, must be in the classpath. Your
best options are:
(a) put them under {yourwebapp}/WEB-INF/classes,
in a subdirectory that matches your package structure.
(b) put them in a jar file, in {yourwebapp}/WEB-INF/lib
In either case above, tomcat automatically adds the
directories/libs to its classpath when it starts.
You *can* put your servlet classes elsewhere on your
disk, and make sure your CLASSPATH points to them
before starting tomcat, but there are many disadvantages
to this, including making it difficult to install your code
elsewhere, and not being able to use the servlet
auto-reload feature.
Now that your class is *loadable* by tomcat, you need
to tell tomcat what URLs map to what servlets.
There is an entry in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml which
sets up a default mapping for servlets; for any url of form
/webapp/servlet/servletname, an attempt is made to
do a "loadClassForName(servletname)" and if
successful, the request is passed off to the found class.
Of course, the class to be loaded merely has to be in
the classpath somewhere (see (a) and (b) above).
[[NB: this only applies in tomcat3.1; I hear that tomcat3.2
does not have a $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml file,
in which case I'm not sure how or if the default servlet
mapping gets set up...]]
If you don't like this default mapping, you just define
your own (url->servletclass) mappings in the file
yourwepapp/WEB-INF/web.xml. See the file
$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.dtd to see what tags
are allowed in the web.xml file; then read the sun
servlet specs. NB: don't modify the web.xml file
in TOMCAT_HOME/conf, create your own inside
your webapp/WEB-INF.
Note that the servlet class *never* lives *at* the
url that the user enters; the url is always looked up
to find a corresponding class name, and then the
servlet class is loaded from the classpath.
I hope this clarifies things a bit...

Simon

Re: Servlet Directory
Thanks for the quick response... I thought that.. tried it... still getting the same response... but i did notice this new stuff in my tomcat.log: Context log: path="" Removing duplicate servlet invoker Wrapper(invoker org.apache.tomcat.se rvlets.InvokerServlet) Context log: path="" Removing duplicate servlet jsp Wrapper(jsp org.apache.jasper.runtime.Js pServlet) Context log: path="" Removing duplicate /servlet/* -> Wrapper(invoker org.apache.tomcat.serv lets.InvokerServlet) Context log: path="" Removing duplicate *.jsp -> Wrapper(jsp org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspSe rvlet) Starting endpoint port="8007" handler="org.apache.tomcat.service.connector.Ajp12ConnectionHa ndler" Context log: path="" Class Not Found in init Do you know of any docs on the web.xml file? Maybe i have the format or something wrong. The servlet is testAllego.class... Thanks for your help... i was/am going crazy.

Re: Servlet Directory
Find the file named "web.xml" and add an entry for the servlet. On Tue, 24 Oct 2000 00:14:40 Corey A.

Servlet Directory
Hello all, First, let me apologize... this is so simple... but i have been beating my head against the wall for almost 20 hours straight now... I have successfully installed Tomcat on my Solaris... With Apache 1.3.14 Everything seems to be working fine... JSPs work well... looking through the logs... no errors... but i can not get any servlets to work in my defined servlet directory. I must be missing something very simple. When i try to invoke a servlet, the tomcat.log file shows: Context log: path="" Class Not Found in init java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: testAllego In my tomcat.conf file.. i have the line: ApJServMount /servlet /root And i have this in my server.xml file: I feel like i am so close... because ay least it is "trying" to load the servlet class... but tomcat can't find it.. please help... i need some sleep... thanks in advance.
