This is a followup to a message I posted to the user list which describes some undesirable behavior of Tomcat 4.0.1 (unrelated to use of mod_webapp).
My application's build process currently generates the deployment descriptor for my web app from many files which contain snippets of the final web.xml. After generation of the deployment descriptor (as $SRC_DIR/conf/web.xml), it is then copied into the appropriate sub directory of my webapps tree. At this point, I should be able to launch Catalina (using a $CATALINA_BASE of $SRC_DIR/site and $CATALINA_HOME of /usr/share/tomcat4). However, the file $SRC_DIR/conf/web.xml is read in before $CATALINA_BASE/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/web.xml. Since both these files contain the same content, my web app is initialized multiple times. That the conf/web.xml relative to my current working directory is used at all at seems like undesirable behavior to me. If a conf/web.xml file is going to be looked for at all, at the very least it could be looked for relative to $CATALINA_BASE. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
