http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22986 Web apps with context XML file don't start if CATALINA_BASE is set and absolute path is used for appBase Summary: Web apps with context XML file don't start if CATALINA_BASE is set and absolute path is used for appBase Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.0.9 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd like to run my own instance of Tomcat and use admin & manager apps. To avoid coying of these apps I tried to setup CATALINA_BASE dir with conf, logs, work, and temp dirs and set appBase to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps (the actual path - not with the variable). This works well on Linux but fails on WinXP with following exception: java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.createSAXException(Digester.java:2540) at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.createSAXException(Digester.java:2566) at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.startElement(Digester.java:1276) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.startElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.dtd.XMLDTDValidator.startElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanStartElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl$ContentDispatcher.scanRootElementHook(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDispatcher.dispatch(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DTDConfiguration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.parse(Digester.java:1567) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer.install(StandardHostDeployer.java:515) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.install(StandardHost.java:866) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptors(HostConfig.java:529) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployApps(HostConfig.java:474) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.start(HostConfig.java:1008) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.lifecycleEvent(HostConfig.java:399) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSupport.java:166) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1135) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:792) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1127) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:502) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:519) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:2311) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:578) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) the problem is that new File(<anything>, "D:\\path\\to\\my\\catalina_home\\webapps").getCannonicalFile()) always throws an exception. More accurately it fails when the child argument is absolute path. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
