Re: Problems with jsp include files in sub-directories
www.windsor-chamber.co.uk As they like to say on Mythbusters after blowing something up, "There's your problem." A host's appBase and a context's docBase cannot be the same. The configuration has never been valid. Remove the whole element from inside the server.xml. Also remove the docBase and path attributes from your public_html/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml. They are automatically configured by tomcat. --David Andrew Connick wrote: Thanks Mark They have set the host to: www.windsor-chamber.co.uk and the context in public_html/ROOT/META_INF/context.xml is : There is also a public_html/META_INF/context.xml, which is: Thanks Andrew - Original Message - From: "Mark Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 5:44 PM Subject: Re: Problems with jsp include files in sub-directories Andrew Connick wrote: Hello Mark Thomas Thanks for your reply I forwarded it to my web hosting company.

You must not have the appBase equal to the docBase; that has never been correct, although some older versions of Tomcat tolerated it accidentally. The proper way to set this up is to have appBase="/home/andrew42" and remove the element from server.xml. Rename your public_html directory to ROOT to have it be the default webapp for the . Then create a file named /home/andrew42/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml containing the following: Note that the path and docBase attributes are not used. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Problems with jsp include files in sub-directories
I'm having problems with the jsp includes directive where the jsp is in a sub-directory. I have 2 subdirectories: /admin /segments index.jsp contains the line <%@ include file="/segments/setup.jsp" %> which is fine admin/index.jsp also contains the line <%@ include file="/segments/setup.jsp" %> This is fine in my test environment, and used to work in my live environment (hosted by an external company) but has recently stopped working. I suspect the issue is that Tomcat now sees sub-directory /admin as a separate context. I believe I have proved this by running a simple admin/test.jsp that displays the results of request.getContextPath(). This shows blank in test and /admin in live. Given that it used to work and has now stopped, I think the hosting company should be able to correct this. However I am having considerable difficulty with this approach. As I cannot re-create the situation in my testing, I am not too sure how to proceed. So, I suppose my real questions are: - Is the way I have structured my code correct ? - How do I stop Tomcat treating each sub-directory as a different context (more specifically, how do Instruct the hosting company) ?
