Maybe take a look at the current $CATALINA_HOME/Catalina/localhost/
context files. Delete the old ones for your webapp and examples, so it
will reload from server.xml

Well, I've tried all sorts of configurations, so I was hoping to get a
clean example from someone who had it working. I changed the stock
Tomcat
5.5 server.xml file to add the following (within the pre-existing, as
well
as the only, HOST tag for localhost, and I have tried with/without a
slash
for path, and with forward or backward slashes in docbase):
<CONTEXT path="" docbase="C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MYwebapps" debug="0"
reloadable="true" />
...and I have edited the stock Tomcat 5.5 uriworkermap.properties file
to
add the directory relative to the additional docbase (I've also tried
without the .jsp specificity at the end of the line to handle
everything):
/MYjsp-examples/*.jsp
(the jk_1.2.8.exe installer puts it all in its own folders in
$CATALINA_HOME's parent, not within $CATALINA_HOME/bin, and also sets
the
registry properly - anything else this nice installer does for me? It
doesn't appear to set environment variables $CATALINA_HOME or
JAVA_HOME -
do I need to do this manually? The webapps examples work fine without
these variables set though, so is this a deprecated step?)
So, if I have copied the webapps folder (and everything in it) to the
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot folder and renamed it MYwebapps, and renamed
jsp-examples therein to be MYjsp-examples (and fixed the .html to
point to
the right path), I would have thought that I could run examples from
the
new directory as well. I don't see any path info. (non-relative)
elsewhere that would cause problems and need to be changed? However,
if
uriworkermap.properties is edited properly, I get a Tomcat 404 error
starting with the docbase, when clicking any example (.jsp link; the
.html
ones still work fine, since they're not handed-off to Tomcat) from the
main page:
http://localhost/MYwebapps/MYjsp-examples/index.html
...the same files still work fine if I go back to the original
location:
http://localhost/jsp-examples
I've even tried making new HOST tags as well, but Tomcat won't start if
you try to define two HOST tags for the same "system" whether I use a
machine name, IP or whatever.
Perhaps I misread the docs somewhere, or there's more to it than the
above
two steps, I'd love to know!
Thanks,

Why don't you show us your config file. This behavior work fine for me

Is this simply not possible? I have tried extrapolating form the
docs
(which seems to work fine under webapps/ or $CATALINA_HOME) but
anything
outside of it fails as badly as the other works perfectly, even if I
try
to swap-out webapps/ for an otuside docbase using the <HOST> tag
already
present.
There's got to be a file or simple edit that I'm missing for this?
Anyone?

OK, the docs out there are good, but they either concern old
versions
of
IIS and/or Tomcat -OR- they concern the JK2 module (including this
list's
archives I have searched).
If JK2 is NO LONGER SUPPORTED, why in the heck would I care to use
it?
So, I am using the very nice jk_1.2.8.exe installer. With that,
most
of
the "steps" found in the various, partially-helpful docs are already
done!
;^)
That said:
I am using Win2K + IIS5, and also Win2K3 + IIS6, and in either case,
also
Tomcat 5.5:
I can go to http://localhost and get my IIS index page.
I can go to http://localhost:8080 and get my Tomcat index page.
I can go to http://localhost/jsp-examples/index.html and run all the
wonderful examples.
HOWEVER, if I simply want to -ALSO- hand-off jsp pages to Tomcat
that
are
in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot (and below) everything goes to hell.
I have tried adding CONTEXT tags to server.xml until I turn blue in
the
face, and when I do so I get either 404 not found errors from Tomcat
(can't find the subdirectory b/c I assume it is looking for it in
webapps/, but then again it can't find it even if I copy the whole
thing
into webapps/) or "The specified module could not be found" message
on the
page (IIS result of a uriworkermap.properties issue).
I have even tried editing the existing HOST tag to change "webapps"
to "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot" and all sorts of folders below wwwroot. In
those
cases, if I manage to edit the uriworkermap.properties file
correctly, all
I get is a blank page for any .jsp, while IIS still handles the
other
stuff just fine.
So, instead of these outdated docs everyone keeps pointing to, does
anyone
have any simple instructions to get Tomcat to properly use a folder
OUTSIDE of webapps, and ALONG WITH webapps to work (especially
assuming
you've already got the basics working just fine as I do)?
I'd like to start by getting a copy of jsp-examples working in
wwwroot/ if
possible (which is also how I was testing in the situation above, if
that
means anything), rather than also confusing the situation by
learning
how to create apps myself at the same time. Perhaps that has caused
my
problem - maybe the issue lies in a web.xml file somewhere for the
jsp-examples (I;ve even copied all of webapps to wwwroot to try and
get
that to work, but no luck).
