It depends upon whether recordings are made (which usually requires a
sponsor beforehand to pay for it) and then are prepared for online
distribution.

Feathercast posted many recordings from ApacheCon NA 2015 and prior
years. Have a look at feathercast.apache.org.

Here are the recordings for the Tomcat track for ApacheCon NA 2015:
http://feathercast.apache.org/?p=227

The feathercast site is a bit tough to navigate. I searched for "Tomcat"
and found the above, but wasn't able to find it otherwise.

Hope that helps,

Hi Chris,
You mentioned about Apachecon.
Does it get recorded as well.
If yes can you pls provide the link.

Tomcat 9 has a whole bunch of nice, shiny, new things, but most of what
Tomcat 9 and 8 can do, Tomcat 7 can do as well. This is also an
opportunity for the community to say "hey, we want that back-ported to
Tomcat [X]". Specifically, I'm going to push for back-porting of the new
TLS configuration features: TLS virtual-hosting (SNI) and PEM-based

What is "the default folder"?

It would probably overwrite your configuration.

Might I suggest using a separate CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE? That
way, you'll never install anything over anything else? Also, nothing in
your configuration needs to change except - if you use Windows services
- the value of the catalina.base system property in the launcher.

Great list. I wonder though, how thoroughly these can be covered in ~10 min. 
I’d rather watch a longer webinar, than one that only scratches the surface.

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&A 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.


I think it's a great idea, but like someone else mentioned, I believe that 10 minutes may 
be a bit short for any of the above themes.


Additional suggestions for sessions :

- how to set up Tomcat so as to make upgrades easier

- the relationship between Tomcat and the Java Servlet Specification

- for sysadmins : how to set up Tomcat logging

- tools and formulas for tuning Tomcat for specific load scenarios

- when and how to generate heap dumps, and how to (roughly) interpret them

Hello Mark,

Thanks for the reply. I am interested in finding where the
Document Root is for my application ("applicationName"). As I
understand, since my Catatlina_Home = "c:\tomcat" and the ""
tag in the server.xml specifies "appbase='webapps'", it should be
under c:\tomcat\webapps...but it is not.

Thanks again.



And it will only be there if you actually deploy the WAR file to
Tomcat (and unpackWARs is set to true).

It may be in a different directory if you use a context file. This is
how NetBeans operates. It may not even exist (if unpackWARs is set to
false).

What are you doing that requires knowledge of Document Root? BTW,
document root is really an Apache HTTPD concept, and not an Apache
Tomcat concept.



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).



Maybe this will help your basic understanding :
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo#How_do_I_make_my_web_application_be_the_Tomcat_default_application.3F

And maybe additionally, a comparison with Apache httpd :
Under Apache httpd, there isn't really a "default application", but the top of the URL 
space (what you get when you request a URL such as "http://hostname/";) is defined by the 
DocumentRoot directive in the webserver configuration file.

(And by default, it is something on disk like : ../Apache2/htdocs/).

Under Tomcat, things are a bit different : there is not really a "DocumentRoot"; instead, 
there are multiple "web applications", all equal and at the same logical level, each one 
of them defined separately in its own sub-directory of (tomcat_directory)/webapps/.


Among those equal webapps, one is a little bit more equal than the others however, and 
acts as the "default webapp" (what a client gets when it requests the URL 
"http://tomcat_hostname/"; (*) : that is the application located at 
"(tomcat_directory)/webapps/ROOT/" (capitals important).


(*) or any other URL which Tomcat cannot clearly map to another webapp

or (preferably) at the end of the message. See the following for the

Hello,

I am using tomcat 8.0.22.0. My Catalina_Home is set to
"C:\tomcat". IDE: Netbeans. Language: Java.

For some reason, when I deploy a web application in Netbeans
that has the name "applicationName" and context path:
"/applicationName" I do not see the application in the
c:\tomcat\webapps folder. Can someone help me figure out
what is not configured correctly? All I see is 4 folders
"docs, examples, host-manager, manager." Interestingly, if I
undeploy one of these 4 folders in netbeans, then this change
is reflected immediately in path c:\tomcat\webapps (ie: I see
3 folders). However, as I said, deploying "applicationName"
does not result in the folder being available in
c:\tomcat\webapps (as it should).

The whole reason I got into this was because I stopped
seeing the tomcat favicon in my application all of a sudden
(I suspect because I changed the context path from
"/applicationName" to "/"). Now I would like to see the
favicon and would like to understand why I am not seeing the
deployed application where I should.

My application is deployed successfully and runs fine (I just
  don't see it in c:\tomcat\webapps).

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.
