Dim,
Very nice, this tip solved my problem.
I've added the line <Context path="" docbase="c:/winnt"> and now I can run
root JSP file that are
mapped to c\winnt.
Actually, I've tried it before, but I was expecting to see the lines in the
server.xml to be
reflected in the tomcat-apache.conf file, as it was in other lines I have
inserted to server.xml
(for example:
adding <Context path="/MyJspDirectory" docBase="c:/winnt" /> to
server.xml
caused Tomcat to add ( in it's restart ) the following lines to
tomcat-apache.conf:
Alias /MyJspDirectory "c:/winnt"
<Directory "D:/j/webapps/test">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
ApJServMount /MyJspDirectory/servlet /MyJspDirectory
<Location "/MyJspDirectory/WEB-INF/">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Location>
<Directory "c:/winnt/WEB-INF/">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Directory>
<Location "/MyJspDirectory/META-INF/">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Location>
<Directory "c:/winnt/META-INF/">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Directory>
)
And since tomcat-apache.conf was not changed I didn't even try to check root
JSPs.
Although there is some anomaly here, it is working fine, thank you.
( Maybe the answer is in the tomcat-apache.conf line
ApJServMount /servlet /ROOT
that force Apache to mount root JSPs to Tomcat root directory, and then
Tomcat, according to it's
server.xml maps root files to c:\winnt )
All the best,
Eitan
