Hi, I just downloaded Tomcat 5.5.4. binary and the compat file. I then deployed the tiles-documentation.war file by copying it over to jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4/webapps/ and set $CATALINA_HOME to /u02/tomcat5/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4 where I have un-tar the tomcat 5.5.4 binary and compat. Then I opened the browser and point to http://localhost:8080/tiles-documentation/ and it works. No mods to server.xml, web.xml nor created any context.xml files. FYI, I already have $JAVA_HOME point to jdk1.4.2 prior to this.
I then shutdown tomcat, added role="manager" and user="locuser" password="xxx" with above role on the tomcat-users.xml file. Restarted Tomcat, point to manager webapp, got prompted for login and password, inputted per the above parameters, it works. Clicked on the listing of webapps and it listed all of them. Clicking on tiles-documentation from the list, it also works. I then proceed to have manager list all the webapps again, click on the undeploy link for tiles-documentation, it executed, and I verified by checking the jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4/webapps/ and sure enuff the tiles-documentation.war and the expanded directory is now deleted. I then attempted to re-deploy same tiles-documentation.war via the manager webapp, filling in the box "Select WAR file to upload" pointing to where tiles-documentation.war is, clicked deploy, saw it deployed as it is listed amongst the webapps, and click on tiles-documentation and it works again. In summary, so far Tomcat 5.5.4 install and deploying a war file seems smooth. I then proceeded to deploy Cocoon2.2.0 war file which is very XML intensive, via same manager and it was a success. These war files I deployed does not have its own context.xml file, so it uses a default. sergio __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
