Re: Continuing Frustration and Misery with Deployer

2005-10-11 Thread Glen Mazza
What happens if you deploy using the Tomcat manager application?  Same 
error or doesn't occur then?  This may help zero in on the problem.

I use it to compile the WAR and now want to deploy it to a waiting Tomcat. I ensured my Tomcat webapps folder was wiped and the conf/Catalina/localhost had no context configuration files.
 
My WAR contains a META-INF/context.xml for deploying the context configuration.
 
After I compile my WAR with Deployer, I call

deploy:

So it's deployed OK. 
 
I wait 5 minutes and then put a request into Tomcat. 404. Why? Because it failed to start the context which in a nutshell is all I ever get when deploying from WARs.
 
My WAR has been exploded fully which is at least something.

I suspect all that means is that it was successfully copied to webapps,

 My META-INF/context.xml has

The docBase attribute doesn't look right - it's specifying an absolute

Have you tried removing this?  Also, I seem to recall that if you're

ROOT.war (at least on 5.5.x).

RE: Continuing Frustration and Misery with Deployer

2005-10-07 Thread Allistair Crossley
Hi,

Thanks for your thoughts. I agree, deployed OK certainly does not mean a valid 
deployment ;)

The docs say of docBase

The Document Base ... for this web application, or the pathname to the web 
application archive file (if this web application is being executed directly 
from the WAR file). You may specify an absolute pathname for this directory or 
WAR file, or a pathname that is relative to the appBase directory of the owning 
Host.

The thing is, I do not wish to execute directly from the WAR as that would be 
inefficient. I thought I could deploy a WAR, that it would explode and then 
initialise itself. It seems to me like (if it actually manages to explode in 
time which is not always the case) that initialisation of the context does not 
wait on complete extraction of the WAR.

Therefore to avoid executing from the WAR itself I use a relative path to the 
web application. Perhaps I should be specifying docBase=ROOT rather than 
/ROOT. 

Thanks again, I need all the help I can get with this deployment malarky!

Cheers, Allistair

RE: Continuing Frustration and Misery with Deployer

2005-10-07 Thread Caldarale, Charles R
 From: Allistair Crossley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
 Subject: RE: Continuing Frustration and Misery with Deployer
 
 The thing is, I do not wish to execute directly from the WAR 
 as that would be inefficient.

If you only have classes (as opposed to resource files) I don't think it
will make a difference.  If you do have other resources in there, then
yes, expanding the war would probably be better.  However, I think
that's controlled solely by the unpackWARs attribute of the Host tag,
and has nothing to do with docBase.

 Therefore to avoid executing from the WAR itself I use a 
 relative path to the web application. Perhaps I should be 
 specifying docBase=ROOT rather than /ROOT. 

That would probably be better; I wonder if you even need a docBase
attribute at all?  If the war file is under webapps, it may be redundant
(and possibly a contributor to the errors in the log).  Is your app
deployed from ROOT.war?

Hi,

  The thing is, I do not wish to execute directly from the WAR 
  as that would be inefficient.
 
 If you only have classes (as opposed to resource files) I 
 don't think it
 will make a difference.  If you do have other resources in there, then
 yes, expanding the war would probably be better.  However, I think
 that's controlled solely by the unpackWARs attribute of the 
 Host tag,
 and has nothing to do with docBase.

The web application is a whopping 22MB WAR consisting of resources, jsps, 
classes, you name it (although the web server is linked to the unpacked 
resources location to serve those).
 
  Therefore to avoid executing from the WAR itself I use a 
  relative path to the web application. Perhaps I should be 
  specifying docBase=ROOT rather than /ROOT. 
 
 That would probably be better; I wonder if you even need a docBase
 attribute at all?  If the war file is under webapps, it may 
 be redundant
 (and possibly a contributor to the errors in the log).  Is your app
 deployed from ROOT.war?

The docBase attribute is listed in the docs as being needed, I could try 
without it. My WAR is called ROOT.war yes.

Thanks again, I will need to try these permutations and get back to the list.

Allistair
