Replacing default servlet using url-mapping
Hi list I have a question regarding the servlet-mapping property in web.xml. Normally a url would look like this: http://host:port/context/servlet-path As many others I have tried to setup my servlet so that it matches the following: http://host:port/ I’m trying to obtain this by using the following url-mapping: ServletAdaptor / I have read the answers on these two links: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4140448/difference-between-and-in-servlet-mapping-url-pattern <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4140448/difference-between-and-in-servlet-mapping-url-pattern> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10874188/jax-rs-application-on-the-root-context-how-can-it-be-done <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10874188/jax-rs-application-on-the-root-context-how-can-it-be-done> It’s still not clear to me why this doesn’t work (using Tomcat 7.0) I’ve have turned on Jersey tracing and this is what I get (on a url like this http://localhost:8080/emner/81.20.00): X-Jersey-Tracing-004:MATCH [ / 1,00 ms | %] Matching path [/] What’s puzzling to me is that it seems that for some reason my path gets stripped away before reaching the servlet. I would have expected something like this instead: X-Jersey-Tracing-004:MATCH [ / 19,39 ms | %] Matching path [/emner/81.20.00] Is it so in Tomcat, that when you use the url-pattern “/“ that the rest of path is ignored when interpreting the original url? Is it different using other containers? Could be related to this: http://bluxte.net/musings/2006/03/29/servletpath-and-pathinfo-servlet-api-weirdness <http://bluxte.net/musings/2006/03/29/servletpath-and-pathinfo-servlet-api-weirdness> With regards, Rune Stilling
Re: Tomcat 7 doesn't start on Windows
Hi again Thanks for your answers. I have given up. I have tried some of the suggestions: * Uninstall all JVM's and Tomcats (and reinstall) * Checked dependcies, yes there were two, that are also present on another machine running Tomcat7 (TCP/IP, ADF) * Tried to use client/jvm.dll instead of server/jvm.dll Nothing helps - I can still only run the service from the command prompt. I find it strange though, that Tomcat isn't able to log anything at all about this, but maybe it's all Windows fault?

That has nothing to do with the matter. The wrapper (tomcat7.exe) takes the path of the JVM to run from the Registry, not from environment variables. Run tomcat7w.exe and check the Java tab. But it is used by service.bat when installing the service. This issue could be caused by using the 64-bit installation with the 32-bit JVM. This would explain why calling the wrapper directly from the command line does execute successfully. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
Re: Tomcat 7 doesn't start on Windows
As I wrote I'm using the service installer 32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer. This is an exe file and not a zip-archive.

Re: Tomcat 7 doesn't start on Windows
Hi André Thanks for an excellent summary. There's one thing that I haven't been precise enough about I can see. I CANNOT run Tomcat via the RS-parameter: Tomcat7.exe //RS/Tomcat7 If I try the log produces the following: [2013-02-27 14:33:55] [info] [548184] Commons Daemon procrun (1.0.13.0 64-bit) started [2013-02-27 14:33:55] [info] [548184] Running 'Tomcat7' Service...

Re: Tomcat 7 doesn't start on Windows
Problem solved!! Ah finally :) I did as you suggested below and it didn't help, but then I looked a bit on the registry values. I found that the ImagePath key looked a bit strange. It contained the following value: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\bin\Tomcat7.exe ogs\commons-daemon.2013-02-27.log//RS//Tomcat7 I tried to replace it with: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\bin\Tomcat7.exe //RS//Tomcat7 And voliá the service would start. I have no idea where the ogs\commons-daemon.2013-02-27.log comes from, but it must be something the installer added, and for some reason the service won't start using this value?

Re: Tomcat 7 doesn't start on Windows
I've encountered and solved hundreds of Tomcat-as-a-Windows-Service problems before, but I have never seen Tomcat not log anything. If you don't mind, could you run Tomcat7w.exe, screenshot each tab (Alt + Print Screen gets a screenshot for just the window instead of the whole thing), put the screenshots online somewhere public, and then post links to the screenshots here? My money is on finding something amiss there. http://rdfined.fastmail.fm/diverse/Tomcat7w.zip Question: When you run the service installer, it installs Tomcat at C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0, correct? (Unless, of course, you changed it at install time.) Yes - It creates that exact path and install files into the Tomcat 7.0 folder.
