Re: WAR files and Eclipse

[Dwayne Ghant]

Yes you are correct. Thus far I have correctly configured 
Apache2.x/Tomcat5.x/mod.jk2 .
And it works pretty seamlessly. My attemps to get the the useraccounts 
working resulted in
me doing this:

<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.UserConfig"
           directoryName="public_html"
           homeBase="/home/"
           userClass="org.apache.catalina.startup.PasswdUserDatabase"/>
Which did work!!!
The only objective  I was trying to achive after that was working; was 
too make sure tomcat
would unzip all .jar file in "/home/<useraccounts>/public_html/" .
I thought this would be preatty simple.

If I am correct I do believe that the unziping funtionality is bound to 
the "<Host>" tag.  Allowing
only the appBase attribute to be used once per "<Host>" tag.
ex:
<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="/var/www/html/"
      unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
      xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

So with that said I belive that I would have to set up another host.
Everyone out there: If I stand corrected please tell me ???????
I LOVE IT WHEN I'M CORRECTED;  it simply means I'm learning something new.

 Wait a minute, you didnt say you were using Apache
to front the Tomcat did you?  At least thats the
impression I gathered since you were hitting it as
http://localhost/~userjoe/index.jsp.   I am not overly
familiar with having Apache fronting Tomcat.   With
that kind of URI, I think its going to the apache side
and not to Tomcat.  You must set your mapping in
http.conf or worker.properties(?) to make this work.
   Or your set-up has Tomcat serving off port 80 and
you are running this as root right?

I did as suggested but it didn't work . The ironic
thing now is that scence
I tried that the user accounts
"/home/<username>/public_html" no longer 
works to
compile jsp pages. I figure this is weird becasue I
see the compilation 
.class files in
the

   

$CATALINAHOME/work/Catalina/localhost/<~username>/<classname.class>,
 

but
when I try to go to
http://localhost/~<username>/index.jsp I just see a 
pure white page. No
matter how many time I reboot the server I get the
same result????

Does anyone else want to take a shoot at this or am
I to give up.

I think there is another attribute to <Listener>
which is home.Base.  Set this where you normally
     

put
   

user/public_html directory.  For example on mine,
     

its
   

set as  homeBase="/home"  and user home is 
/home/sergio.   Once this is working, any war files
     

on
   

your /home/user/public_html should get expanded.

Intresting question associated with this subject.
If I have "public_html " enabled for developers
         

on
   

local machine ex:
         <Listener
    

         

className="org.apache.catalina.startup.UserConfig"
  

       

         directoryName="public_html"
        
    

         

userClass="org.apache.catalina.startup.PasswdUserDatabase"/>
   


     

Can I have  a setting for tomcat to unwar there
    

         

personal test 
  

       

applications in
there public_html directories????
I'm assuming it would look something like this
    

         

(listed below):
  

       

   <Host name="localhost" debug="0"
    

         

appBase="/home/*/public_html"
  

       

    unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
    xmlValidation="false"
    

         

xmlNamespaceAware="false">
  

       

     </Host>
I'm probably incorrect, but I do need to know, to
    

         

finish setting up 
  

       

JSP enviornment for
java developers like myself.

It's actually very easy to do what you want to
      

           

do.
  

       

Assuming you have correctly installed and
      

           

configured Sysdeo, you will 
  

       

need
to tell Eclipse where the War file for your
      

           

Tomcat project should be
  

       

generated. This is done on a *project* basis,
      

           

i.e. you have to repeat 
  

       

this
step once for each Tomcat project you create but
      

           

you will never have 
  

       

to do
this again for a given project unless you change
      

           

the location where 
  

       

you want
the War file.
1. Select the Tomcat project in the Package
      

           

Explorer perspective.
  

       

2. Right click for a context menu. Choose
      

           

'Properties'.
  

       

3. Within Properties, choose 'Tomcat' from the
      

           

tree on the left.
  

       

4. Click on the 'Export to WAR settings' tab
      

           

within the Tomcat 
  

       

properties.
5. Enter the path that tells Tomcat where to
      

           

generate your War file. The
  

       

path name should include the file name of the
           

War
   

      

           

file. I normally 
  

       

put my
War files in a folder called 'war' directly
      

           

beneath the project so my 
  

       

"WAR
file for export" looks like this:
           

D:\eclipse\workspace\MyProject\war\MyProject.war.
         

      

           

Naturally, you are 
  

       

free to
