Re: Web application directory structure

[Joe Becknell]

Thanks. I found out my problem. I wasn't going after
the path with the correct case. I wasn't aware that
Tomcat, by default, is case sensitive. Doohh!

 You're right in that it should work.  I can only
 guess the most likely
 reason this might fail is your web.xml
 configuration.  Look for servlet
 mappings that might catch the data/test1.html url. 
 Your log files
 should have more information.  Also check to be sure
 the tomcat service
 has read privilege on the file and it's directory.

 I have an application with servlet installed under

 (basically, I'm not at work, so I can't remember it

 webapps\testapp\index.html
 webapps\testapp\WEB-INF\web.xml
 webapps\testapp\WEB-INF\classes\servlet.class
 webapps\testapp\WEB-INF\src\servlet.java
 webapps\testapp\data\test1.html
  
 in my server.xml config file I have:
  
 Context path=/testapp docBase=testapp
 debug=0 reloadable=true
  
 although I don't think I need this since my app is
 located under the webapps
 directory. Navigating to:
  
 http://localhost:8080/testapp/index.html works
 fine, but navigating to
  
 http://localhost:8080/testapp/data/test1.html gives
 me the 404 error. I was
 under the imression that I could place files
 anywhere under the application
 root (docBase) directory. Am I missing something
 here. Configuration
 oversight?
  
 Thanks for any information.
 Joe.

Web application directory structure

I'm new to Tomcat and having a problem I thought someone could help me with.
I have an application with servlet installed under webapps. I can run the
servlet without problems. The servlet creates a page that gets sent to the
browser with some links to some (HTML and XML) data files on it. When I
click on one of the links, I get a 404 (resource not available) error, even

webapps\testapp\index.html
webapps\testapp\WEB-INF\web.xml
webapps\testapp\WEB-INF\classes\servlet.class
webapps\testapp\WEB-INF\src\servlet.java
webapps\testapp\data\test1.html
 
in my server.xml config file I have:
 
Context path=/testapp docBase=testapp debug=0 reloadable=true
