Tomcat Deploy issue with v 5.0.30
Hello - I'm running into an autodeploy issue with Tomcat 5.0.30. In our tomcat install we are running two applications both of which are .war archives and reside in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/. The issue I'm seeing is when I run a fresh install of tomcat and drop in our application .war files, on the initial startup and before Tomcat is fully up I try to access the url to either one of the applications, Tomcat seems to stop deploying the application files at random times (sometimes WEB-INF files, sometimes .css, or .js files). Even on a restart Tomcat does not redeploy the missing files. I've tried not unpacking the .war by setting unpackWARs=false, in my server.xml files. Under this condition, if I starting hitting an application URL before tomcat is fully started up, Tomcat seems not to register the welcome-file-list, in the application web.xml and is displaying the tomcat's directory structure. Setup: OS: Windows Version 5.0.30 Tomcat is installed at C://Program Files/Company/tomcat/ and is installed each time the our product is. Has anyone seen this issue and/or found a solution? Will adding a context.xml files to each of my META-INF solve the issue? Any help, suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks, ~Aaron Pedersen
RE: Tomcat Deploy
Hi Geoff, The general concensus I believe is to use a combination of Ant and source control (CVS, VSS). In our case, we have 4 developers all with Eclipse and local workstation Tomcat instances. We all check in to VSS via the VSS Plugin in Eclipse. When we wish to perform a staging or production build, we have written an Ant build.xml file to handle deployment. For staging, our Ant script copies JSPs, classes and resources only, nothing fancy. The staging server detects the class changes and reloads the web app and we can test. For production, our Ant script packages everything up as a WAR file which we then deploy by copying into the production webapps folder. You can also use the Tomcat deploy manager tool for this, adn I believe there are also some Tomcat specific Ant commands. But in general, Ant is what you need and some form of source control is a must esp. on multi-dev projects.

RE: [tomcat] deploy simple HTTP doPost servlet to tomcat 5.0.28
Without examining details in your message I can ask:
Structure should be (maybe it is already?)
Webapp
WEB-INF
web.xml
classess
lib
Etc.
Then, shouldn't be you calling
http://localhost:8080/webapp/XML_RPC_Testserveur
Instead?
Regards.

Subject: [tomcat] deploy simple HTTP doPost servlet to tomcat 5.0.28
Hi folks,
after trying the complex aproach without any success, I started a lowtech
approach. I simply want a small servlet deployed. Can't be too complicated.
What I have:
Apache Tomcat 5.0.28 Server
Win 2000
j2sdk1.4.2_05
I constructed the following structure in tomcats webapp folder:
webapp -
- classes
- testserveur
- XML_RPC_Servlet.class
- libs
- web.xml
(dont bother the name XML_RPC_Servlet.its for future purposes.
currently only text is displayed - see code below)
web.xml is as follows:
!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.// DTD WebApplication
2.2//EN
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.2.dtd;
web-app xmlns=http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee;
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance;
xsi:schemaLocation=http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd;
version=2.4

/servlet-class
/servlet
servlet-mapping
servlet-nameXML_RPC_Testserveur/servlet-name
url-pattern/XML_RPC_Testserveur/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
/web-app
code is as follows:
public class XML_RPC_Servlet extends HttpServlet{
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
res.setContentType(text/html);
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
out.println(HTMLHEADTITLEHello There!/TITLE+
/HEADBODYHello There!/BODY/HTML);
out.close();
}
public String getServletInfo()
{
return HelloClientServlet 1.0 by Stefan Zeiger;
}
}
What i did:
-Started Tomcat (is configured to localhost:8080) -opened Browser -typed
http://localhost:8080/XML_RPC_Testserveur
- got only a message that the resource is unavailable (in french):
*
type Rapport d'état
message /XML_RPC_Testserveur
description La ressource demandée (/XML_RPC_Testserveur) n'est pas
disponible.
**
I am searching for a reason of this for nearly a day.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanx Christian

Tomcat deploy remote WAR via http
I'm running Tomcat 5.0. I'm trying to deploy a remote WAR file to my
tomcat using the ManagerServlet's html commands. Since the WAR file is not
on the local disk of the tomat server, I'm sending it a callback http URL
to download the WAR file but it is not working. (I'm trying to automate
pushing out builds from a build machine to target servers).
I'm refering to this info:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/catalina/servlets/ManagerServlet.html
Where it explains that I can send arguments to the deploy command:
/install?path=/xxxwar={war-url}
where {war-url} can be:
jar:http://hostname:port/path/to/a/warfile.war!/
Given that, I construct a URL to send to the manager servlet:
http://myhost:8080/manager/html/deploy?deployPath=/bdm2deployWar=jar:http://localhost:8080/bdm/bdm.war!/
And I promptly get the error:
FAIL - Encountered exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid
URL for web application archive: http://localhost:8080/bdm/bdm.war
In the log, I pull the stack trace:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid URL for web application
archive: http://localhost:8080/bdm/GetWar?file=bdm.war
at
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer.install(StandardHostDeployer.java:215)
at
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.install(StandardHost.java:832)
at
org.apache.catalina.manager.ManagerServlet.deploy(ManagerServlet.java:922)
at
org.apache.catalina.manager.HTMLManagerServlet.deployInternal(HTMLManagerServlet.java:273)
at
org.apache.catalina.manager.HTMLManagerServlet.doGet(HTMLManagerServlet.java:97)
[...]
So I pulled the src distribution for 5.0 and looked at
StandardHostDeployer.java:215
I see lines 210 to 215:
if (url.startsWith(file://))
docBase = url.substring(7);
else if (url.startsWith(file:))
docBase = url.substring(5);
else
throw new IllegalArgumentException
(sm.getString(standardHost.warURL, url));
This expects the URL to begin with file: instead of http:. So it
appears to me that, contrary to the documentation, Tomcat does not support
getting a WAR file via http.
Is that the case, or am I doing this wrong?
Thanks.
Ant - Tomcat deploy question
Hi folks, I'm running TC 4.1.18, ANT 1.5, J2SDK1.4.0_01 on a W2K server - Tomcat is running as a service. When ANT places my appName.war file in the Catalina_Home/webapps directory it doesn't deploy (i.e. unpack). I stopped and started the Tomcat service, that didn't deploy appName.war. However, if I stop the service - delete the webapps/appName folder - execute the ANT deploy-app command again - this works. Why? What am I missing - better yet what do I need to read? I've read some archive threads - do I really need to restart TC or appName using Manager after deployment? Please enlighten the newbie...

Re: Ant - Tomcat deploy question
Follow the development environment recommendation set out in the Tomcat
application developers guide, which you can find at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/.
After you install your application into Tomcat, you can reload it on
demand without restarting Tomcat. I had experienced problems with stale
classes staying in memory in the past, but I have not had any problems since
using this new approach.
Quick tip: If you use the sample build.xml file provided in the Tomcat
AppDev manual, add the following lines to the section where the classpath is
constructed...
fileset dir=${build.home}/WEB-INF/lib
include name=*.jar/
/fileset
...This will automatically include any JAR files that you have placed in
${web.home}/WEB-INF/lib (and which are subsequently copied to
${build.home}/WEB-INF/lib) into the classpath for you.
