Programatically setting web.xml in embedded Tomcat
Hi all, I'm currently using Tomcat's embedded feature for unit testing of a web service. This web service displays different behaviour depending on the contents of the web.xml file. I therefore want to exercise different web.xml configurations in my unit tests. Currently the setup code I'm using is as follows: Tomcat tomcat = new Tomcat(); tomcat.setBaseDir(catalinaHome); tomcat.setPort(port); tomcat.addWebapp(/ServiceTest, System.getProperty(user.dir) + build/web); tomcat.setHostname(localhost); tomcat.enableNaming(); tomcat.start(); As you can see, the webapp is currently sourced from the NetBeans build directory. What is the best way for me to test different web.xml files? Is there a way I can set the webapp to the same directory as I am currently, but point at a web.xml file that is somewhere else? (I'm not too keen on altering the build/web directory just in case the test fails and ends up breaking the real web.xml file.) My fall-back position is to have my test cases make a temporary copy of the build/web directory and then override the web.xml file with the one I want to use in that specific test case, but I was wondering if there is a more elegant solution. My environment is: Tomcat 7.0.11 NetBeans 7.0 Windows XP Thanks, Andrew

Ah, that was it - thanks.

Changing embedded Tomcat from v6 to v7 causes InitialContext lookup to fail
(Note: this question is also on StackExchange at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5866237/) I'm using JUnit test cases to exercise my web service using embedded Tomcat. Under Tomcat 6 everything was working fine, but when I switched my project to Tomcat 7 I'm coming unstuck. The code I was using for Tomcat 6: Embedded container = new Embedded(); container.setCatalinaHome(C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 7.0.11); container.setRealm(new MemoryRealm()); container.setName(Catalina); Engine engine = container.createEngine(); container.addEngine(engine); Host host = container.createHost(localhost, /DecoderServiceTest); Context rootContext = container.createContext(/DecoderServiceTest, System.getProperty(user.dir) + /build/web); host.addChild(rootContext); engine.setName(Catalina); engine.addChild(host); engine.setDefaultHost(localhost); container.addEngine(engine); Connector connector = container.createConnector(InetAddress.getLocalHost(), 4321, false); container.addConnector(connector); container.start(); I've changed my code to use the new org.apache.catalina.startup.Tomcat class (available in Tomcat 7) as follows: ** Tomcat tomcat = new Tomcat(); tomcat.setBaseDir(C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 7.0.11); tomcat.setPort(1234); tomcat.addWebApp(/DecoderServiceTest, System.getProperty(user.dir)+/build/web); tomcat.setHostname(localhost); tomcat.start(); ** The web application works when deployed to Tomcat 7 (in a non-embedded state - obviously not using any of the above code), but when I run it as an embedded server using the above Tomcat 7 code, I get JNDI InitialContext complaints. The constructor of my web service does the usual calls to setup a Context as follows: Context initCtx = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup(java:comp/env); int thumbnailSize = (Integer) envCtx.lookup(thumbnail-pixel-size); but I receive a NamingException with the message that Name java:comp is not bound in this Context when I try and create the envCtx variable. I assume that I've missed a configuration parameter in the setup of the embedded Tomcat 7 server but I haven't been able to put my finger on it. Can anyone suggest what I can try? I'm using Tomcat 7.0.11, Windows XP SP3 and NetBeans 7.0 Thanks. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Hi,
I am trying to support an existing web site in jspx. I have setup Tomcat
on a Windows server as a test environment before I deploy my changes.
However I cannot open the index page. I get this error and I am not sure
how to fix it http://localhost:8080/viewscast/index.jspx:

I have tried downloading the xtags and adding them to the WEB_INF folder
in the ROOT directory but this has not helped. Any assistance would be
greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
