RE: v5.5.x default context support outside of server.xml

 Subject: v5.5.x default context support outside of server.xml
 
 There seems to be some conflict between different sections
 of the context config documentation that leads me to believe
 it's not possible to specify a default virtual host's context
 with an empty string path attribute for a context.

The doc is a bit obtuse in this area, since it wasn't fully revised from
previous levels.  To specify the default app, you must first delete the
existing webapps/ROOT directory, then install your app in webapps/ROOT
(or webapps/ROOT.war) or put your Context element in
conf/[engine]/[host]/ROOT.xml.

Re: v5.5.x default context support outside of server.xml

2006-10-12 Thread Jon Wilmoth
Thanks.  I renamed my stand-alone context definition 
conf/[engine]/[host]/ROOT.xml and it worked.  
 
FYI...I've asked the developer list about the possibility of respecting the 
empty string path attribute value regardless of where the context is defined 
and/or update the documentation to capture this specific naming requirement for 
specifying the defining the host's default context (aka webapp).

Re: v5.5.x default context support outside of server.xml

2006-10-12 Thread Gregor Schneider

It also worked for me:

- putting context.xml to webpass/YOUR_WEPAPP/META-INF
- pack your web-app as ROOT.war
- deploy it

Tomcat will copy your context.xml from META-INF to
conf/[engine]/[host]/ROOT.xml

Cheers

Greg
