Both questions are already answered in the FAQ. See HowTo page there
and search for "ROOT" (uppercase)

RE: Tomcat Upgrades Ignoring Existing Installs

[Barrow, Jonathan]

What if there was a previous version already installed in the default folder 
when a newer executable was fired off in silent mode. Would it recognize that 
(stop the service, install newer version, retain settings, etc) or would it go 
haywire since it wasn't built to do upgrades?

The Tomcat installer doesn't care about any other Tomcats installed: it assumes 
you want to install a new version in a new location. It doesn't detect old 
versions and attempt any upgrade. Instead, you get the new version in the new 
location.

The installer can be told where to install. You just have to tell it whee you 
want to install it. I'm no expert on the Tomcat Windows installer, but I 
suspect when in "quiet" mode, you can easily specify the target installation 
location.

I just want to place a favicon in the document root.
How can I do this?
Again, the default tomcat favicon was shown up until (I think) when I
changed one of my projects' context path from "applicationName" to "/".
Since then, the favicon has disappeared and I would like to see it again
(and to have a better understanding of these things since I hope to deploy
to a web server in the coming months).

Re: [PROPOSAL] Tomcat Webinar series

[Cohen, Laurence]

I'd be interested, but we are still using 7.0.59 at work, so if you could
tailor at least some of the presentations towards this, in very newbie
format I'd definitely be on board.

Access application without giving port number and context root

[Kikkeri, Amith]

Hi..
I am trying to deploy a web application tomcat 7.0.61 . I have a DNS created 
and I want access the application without using port number and context root. 
Please suggest the best approach to achieve this.

I can change the Port in server.xml to default port 80, but I would still need 
to give the context root, else it would be redirected to tomcat home page. In 
PRODUCTION, I would have a DNS created to access my application and want to 
avoid port number and context root, hence want to know the steps and best 
approach to achieve this. If there are some tutorials/Links, please share the 
same.

Appreciate you assistance.

Regards,
Amith

[PROPOSAL] Tomcat Webinar series

[Mark Thomas]

All,

I've been wondering if there would be any interest in a Tomcat Webinar
series. I'm thinking ~10 minutes of presentation followed by Q on
topics of interest to this community with the webinars taking place
every 1/2/4 weeks depending on interest. The webinars would also be
recorded and uploaded somewhere - probably youtube - and linked from
tomcat.apache.org.

My initial thoughts on possible topics are:

- Intro to Tomcat 9 (the first milestone release is in progress as
  I type this)

- TLS virtual hosting with Tomcat 9

- Generating TLS keys for Tomcat

- HTTP/2 and Tomcat 9

- Connector selection: BIO vs NIO vs NIO2 vs APR

- Proxy protocol choice HTTP vs AJP

Other topics as requested by the users@ community.

Presenters would be one of the Tomcat committers. Obviously, I'm happy
to do these but I hope some of my fellow committers will agree to do
some presentations as well.

Thoughts, feedback, topic suggestions welcome.

Mark

Re: [PROPOSAL] Tomcat Webinar series

[David E. Filip]

I think that is a great idea!  Another topic that I would add is clustering and 
session replication, which I have unfortunately avoided because of the 
perceived complexity (and instead have relied on cookie sticky to keep a web 
browser “stuck” to a particular cluster node).  I imagine that session 
replication might not be that complicated if I had a better understanding of 
whats all of the knobs and dials did, as it seems to be a lot to customize.

I would also be particularly interested in these:

> - Connector selection: BIO vs NIO vs NIO2 vs APR

> - Proxy protocol choice HTTP vs AJP

FWIW - I tend to be at least one major release behind, as I tend to focus more 
on stability and … just as important if not more … being able to rely on others 
who have found and solved any problems I might encounter … :-)

I’d be invested in what the rest of the community has to say … as I acknowledge 
I might be an outlier in this regard … but if not, if these sessions do move 
forward, I would encourage focus not just on the latest development release, 
but also on how to do the cool stuff with earlier releases as well.

Just my $0.02.

env-entry with mapped-name

[Andrei Ivanov]

Hi,
After reading https://bitbucket.org/sgarlick/demo/wiki/JNDI, I tried to
apply that to my app deployed on Tomcat:

Tomcat context.xml has this entry:


The application web.xml has this entry:

spring.profiles.active
java.lang.String
java:comp/env/env/enss/profile


>From what I understand, when Spring looks up
java:comp/env/spring.profiles.active Tomcat should find it using the value
provided in the mapped-name.

It doesn't work and by looking at the Tomcat 8.0.28 sources, the
mapped-name is just added in the properties of ContextEnvironment, but it's
never used.

Did I misunderstand what the mapped-name should do?
Or is it a bug in Tomcat that it doesn't use mapped-name for anything?

Thank you

 This is due to how NetBeans deploys to Tomcat. NetBeans
 creates a config.xml file and copies it to 
 %CATALINA_BASE%\conf\Catalina\localhost\appname.xml
 
 Inside the appname.xml, there's a docBase that points to
 where you built your application (for me it's 
 ProjectName\target\artifact-id).
 
 This then makes use of Tomcat's default configuration to 
 trigger reloads of your web application when certain
 resources are changed.
 
 Here's a link on how that deployment works:
 
 http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/manager-howto.html
 
 Look for Deploy using a Context configuration ".xml" file.
 
 . . . just my two cents /mde/

You ended up deleting the ROOT web application that ships with Tomcat
when you set the Context Path to /, and then did any clean operation
(Clean, or Build and Clean) from NetBeans.

To restore the favicon, just copy a fresh copy of the ROOT directory
back into C:\Tomcat\webapps.

. . . just my two cents
