Tomcat 6 Context, docBase and path
Sorry if this is a common question, I didn't find anything like it by Google. In a Tomcat 6, I have a Context declaration in server.xml with a path and a docBase to a war file with a different name than the path: Context path=/jforum docBase=jforum-2.1.8 ... /Context When the webapp is deployed, two directories are created under webapps: webapps/jforum webapps/jforum-2.1.8 I suspect that there is a clever way to avoid this duplication, but cannot find how. -- mogul | nils weinander | hudiksvallsgatan 4 113 30 stockholm sweden | +46 8 4100 6456 | +46 709 78 28 37 | nils.weinan...@mogul.com | skype: nils.weinander | www.mogul.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Reading the actual Tomcat doc and FAQ is probably more productive. In a Tomcat 6, I have a Context declaration in server.xml That's a bad idea right off; there shouldn't be any Context elements in server.xml. with a path and a docBase to a war file with a different name than the path: If you insist on having the webapp name be different than its URI path, you must keep the webapp outside of the Host appBase directory, and place the Context element in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml. The Context element must include the docBase attribute pointing to the absolute location of the webapp, and the path attribute must *not* be used. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Reading the actual Tomcat doc and FAQ is probably more productive. Tried that too... In a Tomcat 6, I have a Context declaration in server.xml That's a bad idea right off; there shouldn't be any Context elements in server.xml. I know, but as I read the docs, that's primarily if you need to modify contexts without restarting Tomcat and this isn't needed here. Any other reasons? with a path and a docBase to a war file with a different name than the path: If you insist on having the webapp name be different than its URI path, you must keep the webapp outside of the Host appBase directory, and place the Context element in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml.
