I work for a company called Life and Energy Systems. We have written an XML-based document rendering control system that employs a single servlet to render pages for our project called Divinity. The control system is called LeXml. You can view a site or two running it live at: http://www.gogourmetfoods.com/ http://www.tacsoftware.com/ Anyway... we just tried to make a long-awaited upgrade from Tomcat 3.0 to Tomcat 3.2.1. After several hours I've been totally unable to get Tomcat 3.2.1 to work as 3.0 did. Basically our set is as follows: We add a new servlet and servlet mapping to web.xml like this: <servlet> <servlet-name> XMLServlet </servlet-name> <servlet-class> le.lexml.XMLServlet </servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name> XMLServlet </servlet-name> <url-pattern> *.lexml </url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> We then tell mod_jserv in httpd.conf to send anything .lexml to Tomcat. We tried the same thing in 3.2.1 trying both mod_jserv and mod_jk. Tomcat always returned a 404 error. We tried manually setting the path to the "/" context and it would just print the raw contents of the .lexml file. We were totally unable to get it to invoke le.lexml.XMLServlet for *.lexml files. Besides.. if we had to configure a virtual host in Tomcat for all our virtual domains this would be a nightmare anyway. The servlet renders the page by getting the request and then looking up 'host' and request.getRequestURI() and then from that getting the filename on the system, opening it, running it through JAXP, etc. As near as I can tell it's not even calling the servlet since the servlet prints it's own message if it can't find the file. We just get a 404 with no message and Tomcat prints something to stdout with 'Ctx... blah blah... ( + /test.lexml ) ...blah blah... 404... blah...'. I looked at the source and found this in Context.java but didn't find much else helpful. It should be invoking XMLServlet for anything *.lexml. So we're back to Tomcat 3.0 which works fine. Any suggestions? Thanks. Adam Ierymenko Life and Energy Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED]
