Re: [5.5] path specified in context.xml not being used
It is mentioned here that if you want to use something different, to create a context.xml file specifying the path and docBase attributes. What if you want 2 applications to have different docBases? Ritchie Programmer Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] 31/03/2006 10:09 am see also my other post in *Setting the context path for expanded WARs* On 24/03/06, Wang, Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The path is ignored when you deploy webapps this way. Tomcat will use the basename of the war file as the context path. If you want to use something different than that, you can create a context.xml and put in under the virtual host's conf direction (e.g. CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost). In this context.xml, you can specify the context path and docBase. Hi Nic and Hansen, thanks for this info, it's really useful. Is this actually documented on the Tomcat site? I couldn't find anything about it (in particular the renaming of context.xml to my#nested#path.xml) Cheers, Phil Wilson - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Physical path outside of webapps directory
Hi all I have searched the archives and has seen many posting on this but still need more information. Right now, I use Eclipse as my IDE. When a project is ready for testing I export to a WAR and use Tomcat's GUI Manager WAR file to deploy option to deploy my application to my server. So far, I have been setting up a context.xml file under META-INF in which I don't specify a path or docBase. This works and as expected the application deploys under the webapps folder (the default). What do I have to do to have the application reside in a physical directory outside of webapps, for example, /data0/tomcat/home. Make changes to the existing context.xml? Do I have to remove this xml and create it under CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost with the name of the app? My understanding is that if I add the docBase attribute specifying a physical directory that should be all that is required but in both cases above this do not work. Maybe it is because I can't simply deploy using the Tomcat Manager the way I use to do it. Sample of testApp.xml below Context debug=0 antiResourceLocking=false antiJARLocking=false reloadable=true docBase=/data0/tomcat/home Resource name=jdbc/hrm auth=Container type=javax.sql.DataSource ... / /Context Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Database Connectivity of JSP(Tomcat 4.x) with Oracle 8i
I believe that classes12.zip is for Version 1.2 and 1.3 only. JRE5.0 uses 1.5. Your solution would be to download ojdbc14.jar which is for JVM 1.4 or 1.5 and put that in either you application/WEB-INF/lib directory or Tomcat's common/lib directory.

RE: How to see a Word or WordPerfect document in Tomcat?
I have tried many different combinations including application/wordperfect. If I click on a .wpd file it does open WordPerfect as expected. The mime mapping behaves differently using Firefox, it asks me do I want to open the file using WordPerfect.

Re: My first Aproach
I would recommend that you look at the newer Technology JSF (Java Server Faces) which sits on top of JSP. This is easier to use and will probably be the future.

Since you are just starting to learn, I would get the latest Java SDK (5.0) and download Tomcat 5.5.12 instead. I don't see any reason to use the older 5.0.28. I'm starting also--the book I'm currently going through is Beginning JavaServer Pages[1] to learn about JSP's, so far, through page 108, it's been pretty helpful for me. I'm glad I got it, although some of the Amazon reviews for it have not been the best (avg. 3.5/5 stars). I would forget about EJB until you're fully comfortable with Servlets, JSP, JavaScript, CSS, etc. You may never need to work with EJB's anyway (and Tomcat doesn't support them.)
