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

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.

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. -chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

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 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

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 Also, it is the convention of this mailing list to either reply inline or (preferably) at the end of the message.

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.
