Re: war files not deploying on redhat
Hi,
I don't know if it was just a typo in your post, but AutoDeploy
should be |autoDeploy.

Hello,

I
have been running a tomcat server for several months in which the .war files
unpacked and auto-deployed perfectly. But with this new installation, the
Redhat way, with files all over the place, I have not been able to make it
work.
I am using Tomcat 5.0.28 via an rpm on Redhat EL 3. I am accessing the tomcat
server via apache and the jk2 connector. I have the server.xml file configured
with:
Host name=localhost debug=0 appBase=webApps
unpackWARs=true AutoDeploy=true
xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false
My application has its context.xml file in the META-INF directory correctly
pointing to the appname, /copse. I have an xml file in
/etc/tomcat5/Catalina/localhost/copse.xml which has in it:
Context docBase=${catalina.home}/build/copse.war
privileged=true antiResourceLocking=false
antiJARLocking=false/Context
The /webapps directory and its contents are owned by tomcat, the tomcat process
owner. root has CATALINA_HOME in its environment, set to /usr/share/tomcat5.
I have a link in /usr/share/tomcat5 to /var/lib/tomcat5/build, which contains
the copse.war file. tomcat has read and write privs for this build/ directory
and all its files.
The differences between my working installation and the 'broken' one seem to
be:
1. root owned the instance of tomcat in the working version, tomcat owns the
instance of tomcat in the broken one
2. file permissions were not all tomcat rw in the broken one, but this I have
fixed now - as far as I know all relevant files are owned by tomcat
3. CATALINA_HOME wasn't set properly for root at first in the 'broken' install
-
but this also has been fixed (I believe). It points to the directory that
holds
all the softlinks to the other directories, such as conf, webapps, build, and
so
on.
I have resorted to unpacking the war file myself, and the application works.
But unpacking by hand is cumbersome and time-consuming. Does anyone have the
(I
presume simple) key to unlock this problem?
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks for the quick answer and sharp eye - but it WAS a typo, sorry! In the
server.xml file, it is listed as autoDeploy=true. It is the basic server.xml
file, not really altered by me, and almost exactly matches the server.xml file
on the other machine, the one that works.
Thanks,

RE: WAR files and web.xml
I'm not sure what kind of information you are trying to change but I have a few suggestions which might get you started: 1) If the changes are something like database/realm passwords or logging information, you can put those in a context file called yourapp.xml and put it in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost before you drop your war in place. (For that matter I guess you could put any sort of resource or resource reference in there) So the user can modify the xml file before they run ant install and the install target drops the context file in that dir, and then the war in the webapps dir. (Or better yet, the user could modify the build.properties before doing the install and ant could do the configuration/substitution in the context file as described below.) 2) You could setup tokens like @REPLACE_HERE@ in your web.xml and then have something like user1.information=A and user2.information=B etc in your build.properties. You could use ant's replace target to replace the tokens during the war target. The user (or you) could then specify the deploy environment like this: ant -Ddeploy.env=user1 war which would create a war file using the user1. properties. We do this where I work to create wars for dev, test, uat, and production. If #2 looks like something you want to do, and you want the ant snippet, email me and I'll send it your way. :) |)ave -Original Message- From: Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 6:27 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: WAR files and web.xml I have a question concerning the generation of a war file and my web.xml file.

Re: WAR files and Eclipse
Yes you are correct. Thus far I have correctly configured Apache2.x/Tomcat5.x/mod.jk2 . And it works pretty seamlessly. My attemps to get the the useraccounts working resulted in me doing this: Listener className=org.apache.catalina.startup.UserConfig directoryName=public_html homeBase=/home/ userClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.PasswdUserDatabase/ Which did work!!! The only objective I was trying to achive after that was working; was too make sure tomcat would unzip all .jar file in /home/useraccounts/public_html/ . I thought this would be preatty simple. If I am correct I do believe that the unziping funtionality is bound to the Host tag. Allowing only the appBase attribute to be used once per Host tag. ex: Host name=localhost debug=0 appBase=/var/www/html/ unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false So with that said I belive that I would have to set up another host. Everyone out there: If I stand corrected please tell me ???

It's actually very easy to do what you want to do. Assuming you have correctly installed and configured Sysdeo, you will need to tell Eclipse where the War file for your Tomcat project should be generated. This is done on a *project* basis, i.e. you have to repeat this step once for each Tomcat project you create but you will never have to do this again for a given project unless you change the location where you want the War file. 1. Select the Tomcat project in the Package Explorer perspective. 2. Right click for a context menu. Choose 'Properties'. 3. Within Properties, choose 'Tomcat' from the tree on the left. 4. Click on the 'Export to WAR settings' tab within the Tomcat properties. 5. Enter the path that tells Tomcat where to generate your War file. The path name should include the file name of the War file. I normally put my War files in a folder called 'war' directly beneath the project so my WAR file for export looks like this: D:\eclipse\workspace\MyProject\war\MyProject.war. Naturally, you are free to organize your files differently. 6. Click on OK to close the Properties dialog. Then, every time you want to regenerate your War file, all you need to do is this: 1. Select the Tomcat project in the Package Explorer perspective. 2. Right-click for a context menu. Choose 'Tomcat project'. 3. Choose 'Export to the war file sets in project properties'. 4. You should get a brief message that tells you the operation worked. Now, if you don't find Tomcat in the Properties tree or if you don't see the 'Tomcat project' option in the context menu, it means you probably didn't configure Sysdeo correctly. Don't worry, it's not that hard to fix. Just let us know and we'll try to help.

Re: WAR files and Eclipse
I tried eclipse, but man was it hard to get configured properly. I wanted to use Eclipse/MyEclipse since I do Perl/C/C++ work as well and thought one tool that binds them all, yada yada yada. I then tried NetBeans and it worked for my environment 'out-of-the-box'. It took zero configuration for me. I just pointed it at my existing source tree and it built its environment and ant scripts accordingly. I really like all of it's editors/interfaces better as well. I would rather use 2 tools (NetBeans for java stuff, and eclipse(or my older editor) for everything else) than jump through Eclipses' hoops for java/J2EE stuff.

RE: War files don't work
Tang, Thanks for the reply. Unfortunantly, that isn't the behavior I am seeing, and I think the other poster had the same issue. If I don't have a context for my war file in the server.xml, then it unpacks fine. But, if I do have a context, then it won't unpack, and I have to do it manually.

Re: War files don't work
That's how I read it. Basically, a Context in server.xml trumps automatic deployment. As I understand it, you have to pick one or the other, not both. If you must put a Context in server.xml for your web application, and you want to use a WAR file, then make the docBase of the Context the WAR file, not a directory, like this: docBase=myApp.war John [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What the Automatic Applcation Deployment doc says is that if you have a WAR file, it won't be expanded if you have a context element in the server.xml document.

RE: War files don't work
You need to make sure that you delete the webapps/nsfs directory before starting tomcat, or tomcat won't unpack the .war file. Place the .war file directly in the webapps directory. From: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/deployment.html Copy the web application archive file into directory $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/. When Tomcat is started, it will automatically expand the web application archive file into its unpacked form, and execute the application that way. This approach would typically be used to install an additional application, provided by a third party vendor or by your internal development staff, into an existing Tomcat installation. NOTE - If you use this approach, and wish to update your application later, you must both replace the web application archive file AND delete the expanded directory that Tomcat created, and then restart Tomcat, in order to reflect your changes. -Original Message- From: Rick Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 July 2003 20:27 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: War files don't work Making docBase = nsfs.war vice nsfs works!! :) However; the war file is not being unpacked.

Does the nsfs.war file go into webapps directory or into webapps/nsfs directory? Currently, the webapps/nsfs dir does not exist. There is only the nsfs.war file setting in the webapps directory.

Re: War files don't work
nsfs.war goes in webapps. How about just creating the directory and seeing what happens? In any case, if you're using WAR files, there's no reason to have a Context defined in server.xml, that's probably what is confusing Tomcat. Tomcat is reading server.xml, which tells it to start a Context called nsfs with a docBase of nsfs but no such docBase exists.

Re: War files don't work
From the docs for Context: The Document Base (also known as the Context Root) directory 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. Thus, if you're going to put a Context entry in server.xml for nsfs, make the docBase nsfs.war, not nsfs.

Re: War files / codeBase and security permissions (v4.0.4)
You should not have to make any changes to policy files for this to work.
It is Tomcat itself that is unpacking the WAR files--so assigning
permissions to the WAR file itself won't do anything. What does your
server.xml file look like? How did you determine that WAR files weren't
automatically being unpacked? What error did you see?

Subject: War files / codeBase and security permissions (v4.0.4)
I'm deploying a war file with unpackWARs=false. I am trying to grant
permissions to this war in 04webapps.policy.
Here is what I've tried...
Given the examples this is what I would expect to work but doesn't:
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/webapps/iface.war!/- {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
This doesn't work (but works if unpackWARs=true):
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/webapps/iface/- {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
This works because this is where tomcat extracts the war to (with
unpackWARs set to false)
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/work/Standalone/localhost/iface/- {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
What is the correct way to specify permissions to give to a war file?
Thanks,
Ken

Re: war files and context entries
Try creating a context.xml file and put yoru Context ... entry in that. Now put your context.xml in META-INF of your .war file. Remove the context entry from Server.xml. When Tomcat starts up and doesn't see your war there, it will mark the context as disabled and will get confused if you later try to put the .war file for that context there while Tomcat is running. Now Start Tomcat fresh and then deploy your .war file. Things should work fine now. Jake At 07:45 PM 12/10/2002 -0800, you wrote: I have a war file that I deploy to my server 4.1.12. If I just deploy the war file without making any entries in the server.xml file and start Tomcat, everything is fine. OK so far. However, if I make an explicit context entry in the server.xml file for the war file using the following entry: Host name=localhost debug=9 appBase=webapps unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true Context path=/cda docBase=cda.war debug=9 reloadable=true/ /Host When I try to start tomcat, it looks as if everything is going fine then it just quits with no errors or anything. I checked the logfile, and the last entry is: [timestamp] StandardContext[/cda]: Sending application start events [timestamp] StandardContext[/cda]: Starting filters Am I missing something here? Obviously I am cause it doesnt work. I know my war file is correctly configured because it works fine without the Context entry. Dave Patton

Re: WAR files don't unpack if the webapp is already there
Older versions of Tomcat don't, new ones will if you set reloadable to true in the context. It will monitor WEB-ING/lib and WEB-INF/classes for changes and reload if it detects any. This canj cause a performance degradation on your server so you may only want to do this for development.

RE: War files and config info
Try setting a parameter in your web.xml to the value of an external location for your config file. Inside your init() method check this location first for the config file you want to load, if you find it load it and move on, else load the config file you distributed with your application.

FYI, the exact call we use to open the config file is InputStream in = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(configFile); One approach to customizing configuration without messing with the WAR file is to use environment entry elements instead. Unlike some suggestions, this one is portable to all J2EE servers, Tomcat 4, and probably other servlet containers as well. The basic idea is that you declare your configuration parameters as env-entry references (with default values) in the web.xml file. For example, in a Payroll webapp you might have: env-entry env-entry-namemaxExemptions/env-entry-name env-entry-value15/env-entry-value env-entry-typejava.lang.Integer/env-entry-type /env-entry In your servlet (or in a JSP or JavaBean referenced by that servlet), you can retrieve this value as follows: InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(); Integer value = (Integer) ic.lookup(java:comp/env/maxExemptions); int maxExemptions = value.intValue(); The reason to go through all of this, though, is that you can override the default value in the server configuration -- for Tomcat 4, you do that in the server.xml file: Context path=/myapp ... ... Environment name=maxExemptions value=20 type=java.lang.Integer/ ... /Context You can define env-entry elements of any of the standard Java primitive types (by using the corresponding wrapper class) or String. If there are more variables than you really want to configure this way, one option would be to create a single String-valued environment entry that is simply the absolute pathname to a properties file somewhere on the host server.

RE: .war files
.war files are "Web ARchive" Files. It's the easiest way of application deployment. I generate them by using JAR command. "jar -cvf test.war ." this command creates a test.war file which consists everything of current directory and following subdirectories. So goto your application directory and by using above command genenrate your application war file and dump it in webapps directory. tomcat when it comes up it generates a directory structure based on this war file(just unjar's this war file).

A web application archive (WAR) file is just a JAR file with a particular directory structure (as described in the Servlet Specification at http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html).
