Re: Tomcat 5.5.4 - Using a Context.xml File With a Path Different Than The File Name

You would need to use the manager either html or command line.
You may have one of those cases that will work with the autodeploy on and 
specified context path.

Install 5.5 and try it. You can leave 5.0 in place.

I still need some type of auto-deployment, though.
The app won't be deployed twice because Tomcat only knows about it through
the myappsavedfiles.xml file in conf/Catalina/localhost --- the content 
for
the app is NOT in appBase.

If I didn't do autodeployment, how would I deploy it at the path I needed?
By using the Tomcat manager?

If you don't use autodeploy, you can turn this off and use a context with
"yourchoice" path like in 5.0 . Otherwise Tomcat will deploy the app 
twice,
once using your xml and once using the default xml.

0Application%20Deployment
Someone slap me if I am wrong here.

Hi all,
Using Tomcat 5.0.30, I had two Contexts for webapps set up as follows.
Context 1, loaded from file: <Tomcat
Home>/conf/Catalina/localhost/myapp.xml
:
<Context path="/myapp" docBase="myapp" cookies="true" debug="0"
reloadable="false" />
Context 2, loaded from file: <Tomcat
Home>/conf/Catalina/localhost/myappsavedfiles.xml :
<Context path="/myapp/savedfiles" docBase="C:\MyApp\Saved" />
Notice that the path of Context 2 is a subdirectory of Context 1.
Also, notice that the docBase's are completely different directories
(i.e. the docBase for context 2 isn't actually a subdirectory of the
docBase of Context 1)
The reason I do this is because I want the data in context 1 (my web
app) to be upgradeable (and thus be blown away at will), but the data
in my Context
2 (which isn't even in the webapps directory) to be persistent.
Now, I want to upgrade to Tomcat 5.5.4.  However, it seems that I can
no longer do this in Tomcat 5.5 (according to the description of the
'path'
attribute described here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html)
unless
I do one of the following:
1) Put the Context tag for Context 2 directly in my server.xml, which
is no longer recommended
2) Somehow name my Context 2 file with a slash in it -- which Windows
isn't going to let me do! =)
3) Rename my Context 2 file to be a different path altogether, which
means that I have to change by Context 1 code that refers to files in
Context 2.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can keep both of these
contexts without changing my code in Context 1 that refers to the path
/myapp/savedfiles, and hopefully without modifying my Tomcat server.xml?
I appreciate any suggestions you may have.
Thanks,
Matt Mejaski
