Replying to myself:
Server Configuration Reference states
"When using automatic deployment, the docBase defined by an XML Context file
should be outside of the appBase directory. If this is not the case
difficulties may be experienced deploying the web application or the
application may be deployed twice."
This would imply that it is 'normal' to deploy
web apps at other than catalina.home/webapps/appname.
Even more confused.
regards DaveP
I'm confused over terminology.
The 'root' application seems to reside at
${catalina.home}/webapps/ROOT Logically then (with a tree analogy)
other web apps would reside within that directory?
Some of the documentation seems to imply they should
be in ${catalina.home}/webapps/myapp, for instance.
I.e. all reside directly beneath ${catalina.home}/webapps/
If there are alternatives, where is it specified please?
From
//tomcat-docs/config/host.html#Automatic%20Application%20Deployment
"Any XML file in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[engine_name]/[host_name]
directory is assumed to contain a Context element (and its
associated
subelements) for a single web application. The docBase
attribute of this <Context> element will typically be the
absolute pathname to a web application directory, or the
absolute pathname of a web application archive (WAR) file
(which will not be expanded)."
Which implies that *where* they should be is quite
flexible, but I'm unsure?
Regards DaveP.
