Migration
I have been asked by a company to update their existing working tomcat 5 application, which is working on an old Windows 2003 platform and accessing SQL 2005. The new servers are Windows and SQL 2012. I downloaded and installed Tomcat 8.5.12. So, what I need to do for migrating the existing application to work on the new environment? Thank you in advance for your reply. Regards, -- *M. Osama Alghwell*
A problem of accessing an application
I installed Tomcat 8 and application on Windows 2012 server. The structure is as follows: Driver --> E: A main drictory named --> MyOrg Two directories under MyOrg --> OrgAPP & OrgServer Under OrgAPP another directory named --> Field Under Field all the directories for the application including WEB-INF Under OrgServer --> Tomcat8 Under Tomcat8 --> Apache-Tomcat Under Apache-Tomcat the Tomcat 8 files in Tomcat 8 document saying to install an application outside webapps this can be down by an xml file in conf/Catalina/localhost/app.xml (the Engine is Catalina and the host is localhost) which I did (the file is Field.xml. In Field.xml I put Now, Tomcat 8 as a service works and I can open the manager GUI and find Field as one of the listed applications. But if I click on it to open it the 404 page comes up! Other thing, if I add to the URL in the Context \Field, the service (I need to restart it) won't work. Any suggession? Shall I change the name of the xml file and add the \Field in the Context? Thank you -- *M. Osama Alghwell*

RE: Migration
I will follow the steps from 5 to 6, from 6 to 7, then from 7 to 8, is this what I should do? On Mar 21, 2017 7:25 PM, "Caldarale, Charles R" <chuck.caldar...@unisys.com> wrote: > > From: M.

Re: A problem of accessing an application
Thanks for reply. Actually I did all, and the log is clear, of course when Tomcat starts and I checked the log stating the deploying starts and finishes in few milliseconds. I also tried to name the file with the complete path using #, as mentioned in the document (the file name is MyOrg#OrgAPP#Field.xml) but it didn't work. The 404 page always come up. I am wondering if the path for the application is read correctly? I am using Linux since end of 90s, that is why I am having problems with Windows environment. Now, if I changed the name of the file to any name.xml and add Field in the docBase, will it works? or this is contradicting with tomcat.

Is it possible and how
Hi all, I have a Java application that run on windows and using to Tomcat (unfortunately it is Tomcat 4.5 and I an assigned to upgrade it). Is it possible to move to Linux platform? and is it possible to jump to Tomcat 8.x? what action should be taken? Thank you -- *M. Osama Alghwell*
Re: Is it possible and how
Hi, sorry for the mistake about the Tomcat, it is 5.4 Thank you for the guidance I will send if I will face any obstacles. Even though, I tried to do migration from old windows and MS SQL to new one but I faced with a lot of error messages and I couldn't complete it. I am thinking to move it to Linux platform, because I am better with Linux and I think Java is more smoother with Linux. Any hint would be appreciated very much.
