I am getting the same problem, also with 5.5.4 + Compat, RH9, J2SDK142. - I am building the WAR with ANT, scp'ing to to an empty /webapps and restarting Tomcat. - If I copy the ROOT.war to BLAH.war it will expand fine as BLAH, even root.war to root, just not ROOT.war to ROOT. Thanks Euan

WebApp config best practice

Where is the best practice for deploying your WebApp configuration files? For example a database config file which contains production db password. Most apps I have seen use WEB-INf/config or WEB-INF/classes - but this is a no-no from security guys as it is under the document root. Thanks

use of $CATALINA_HOME inside webapp

I tested using $CATALINA_HOME instead of an absolute path in a property file in a webapp. This did not work - the log the app was supposed to create to was never created. An absolute path works. Is this expected behaviour? TC4.1.24 ../webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes/myapp.properties:

is /work portable?

If you deploy the same webapp on four servers, use (and compile jsps) of the webapp on one server, is it possible to simply copy across the compiled /work dir to the other three servers? I have briefly tested the theory and it seemed to work. Does anyone have any practical experience doing this?

Yes, that's the one. Marked mine as duplicate. Thanks Euan Christopher Schultz wrote: Tim, Is it similar to: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18485 This seems to indicate that Tomcat uses ant internally to compile (translated) JSP files. Is this accurate?

jsp cache issue

Hi, I have noticed that TC creates a temp file (example name = files02123412) when compiling jsps. It will only exist for a few seconds, presumably while the compilation takes place, then is deleted. Here is the annoying part - they are created in the directory from which you started tomcat - so

tomcat caching jsp to working directory (not /work)

When I start tomcat as root using /etc/init.d/tomcat start, which in turn starts $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh as tomcat, tomcat attempts to cache all jsps to the directory from which I ran /etc/init.d/tomcat start.. I can force jsps to cache to $CATALINA_HOME/work/... by setting SCRATCHDIR in

Tomcat slows then eventually stops serving jsps under load (100+ concurrent users), html is always fine. The behaviour is sporadic and not easily reproducable but only occurs under load. Standalone (Coyote) 1.1.24, J2SDK1.4.1_03, Linux RH9. Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks Euan

log rotation clarification

Tomcat automatically rotates localhost_log_x and localhost_access_log_x, but not catalina.out. From searching the archives you need to use a cron to rotate catalina. 1 - Is this correct 2 - Where is the rotation for localhost_x configured? 3 - Will this change in TC5? Thanks, Euan
