Re: Tomcat 5.5 - Virtualhost - context configuration for the zero path
I have moved the docBase to /vhosts/past-int/PaST and I have modified the CATALINA_BASE/conf/EngineName/HostName/ROOT.xml to direct docBase to the new phyiscal path. After stopping the JVM, deleting the CATALINA_BASE/work/EngineName/HostName/_ and starting up the JVM again I get a NullPointer Exception: Stacktrace: org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.handleJspException(JspServletWra pper.java:506) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:3 95) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:314) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:264) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) root cause java.lang.NullPointerException org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.pageURL(RequestUtils.java:1596) org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.computeURL(RequestUtils.java:541) org.apache.struts.taglib.html.RewriteTag.doStartTag(RewriteTag.java:99) org.apache.jsp.administration.index_jsp._jspx_meth_html_rewrite_0(index_jsp. java:149) org.apache.jsp.administration.index_jsp._jspService(index_jsp.java:82) org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:97) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:3 34) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:314) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:264) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) I have controlled all settings again to avoid a mistake, so I am sure I have done the suggested settings right. Maybe there is another setting needed to be considered? @Martin, who wrote: What is context-root specified as? I am not sure what you mean with context-root, for me it is path=.

Place ROOT.xml in CATALINA_BASE/conf/EngineName/HostName and then the docBase attribute of the Context element inside ROOT.xml will be honoured. You should not specify a path as this is inferred from the name of the xml file.

Tomcat 5.5 - Virtualhost - context configuration for the zero path
We usually use Tomcat instances without Apache connector and we could do this without problems with Tomcat 4.x until now by defining a docBase to the path= in a context located in the server.xml. (Usually we configure virtualhosts for a service with the default path - no additional context must be entered by the user). In Tomcat 5.5 (we didn't use Tomcat 5.0, so I don't know if there are similiar changes) there seems to be only one possibility to configure a context with path : to rename the WAR file to ROOT.war and place it in the appBase of the virtualhost. The expected equivalent to configure the -path explicitly seems not to work. I tried to create the file: CATALINA_BASE/conf/EngineName/HostName/ROOT.xml as follows: Context override=true displayName=PaST2 docBase=/opt/jakarta5_jvm2/webapps3/PaST path= !-- other settings, like log valves and so on -- /Context Requesting the URL http://%3cHostName%3e[/ http://HostName[/] results in an HTTP 404 error, Resource Not Found. After renaming the directory PaST to ROOT in the appBase=/opt/jakarta5_jvm2/webapps3 the service is reachable with the URL above. I would prefer to use an explicit method to define a context, not only the implicit possibility by naming the WAR file to something which doesn't refer anyway to the service provided in the physical directory ROOT. Is there a possibility to do this in may way? Johann
