After adding a context xml file, web-app doesn't always start
Hi all, For a while my web app was connecting manually to the db but obviously that's a bit rubbish so I looked at some examples and moved the db stuff into the context file for my app. I have never written a context file and I think I may have missed something. Now when I use ant to install my app, it sometimes fails - ant says successful build but tomcat throw an exeption that my app conspiracy cannot be found under /webapps/conspiracy - it isn't being installed from that location - ant installs it from my build dir outside of the tomcat folder entirely. If this was happening all the time, it would be more understandable but roughly 50% of the time (and every time i re-type ant remove install immediately after a fail) it installs fine. I imagine that I need to do something to my context xml file? I'm not really sure but the only change in the app pre and post this error is moving the db stuff to the xml file. The xml file is attached:?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?

From: David Farrell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: After adding a context xml file, web-app doesn't always start I think I may have missed something. Such as telling us which version of Tomcat you're using. tomcat throw an exeption that my app conspiracy cannot be found under /webapps/conspiracy Your docBase attribute says webapps/conspiracy is the location of the app. I imagine that I need to do something to my context xml file? I'm not really sure but the only change in the app pre and post this error is moving the db stuff to the xml file. Where is your context xml file? What is it's actual name? (The attached file is named context_home.xml, which can't be really be what you're using.) Read up on the attribute fields of the Context element for the version of Tomcat you're using. In particular, if you're using 5.5.x, don't put Context in server.xml, and don't use the path attribute. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
