Craig,
It seems that there is a bug in 4.0b2 where you must have at least one
<context> defined in the server.xml. Is that right? It seems to me that the
system should just pick up whatever .war files are in the webapps directory
without having to define a <context> for each one or at all. This works with
3.2.2b2.
You can replicate this by:
grab this file:
<http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-velocity/demo/forumdemo-tomcat-3.2
.2b2.tar.gz>
Take the forumdemo.war file out of the webapps directory.
Delete all of the <context>'s in the server.xml file.
start up tomcat 4.0b2.
try to access:
http://jonlap:8080/forumdemo/servlet/forum
right now, i get:
"HTTP Status 503 - This application is not currently available
The requested service (This application is not currently available) is not
currently available. "
The .war file works fine with a stock 4.0b2 distribution, but if I try to
remove the <Context path="/examples" docBase="examples" debug="0"
reloadable="true"> from the server.xml file, then I start to run into a
whole heap of problems.
thanks,
-jon
