Hi, I haven't used the gui manager but I have noticed that in your: WAR URL: file:/c:/cygwin/home/dmkarr/java/struts-el/dist/webapps/exercise-taglib
You are using file:/ instead of file:/// which is required. You see: "java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol:". Means it didn't find http://, ftp:// file:/// which are the valid protocols, there may be more but these are the main ones. Hope this helps, Nicholas Orr -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 3 September 2002 2:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TC4.1.10: Can't install new app directly from GUI I very recently upgraded from TC 4.0.4 to TC 4.1.10. I hadn't looked at the manager app before (I don't know when it became a reality). It looks quite convenient. It is very nice once I get an application installed. Then, I can just reload and rerun the app without restarting TC. It appears that you can only do a Reload when you've installed a non-WAR (exploded directory). This is fine, but what I'm having trouble with is figuring out how to install a new app directly from the GUI. I've been able to do it through the browser URL api, but not from the GUI. I don't see any documentation on how to use the Manager GUI, although most of it is pretty self-explanatory. In the "Install:" box, there are three fields: 1. Path - I would guess this would be the context root for the application 2. Config URL - I'm not certain what this would be 3. WAR URL - I would assume this is the path to the WAR or to the root of the exploded directory. So, I would figure that I would enter the following values and click "Install" (the two non-null values are exactly the values I used on the URL api): Path: /strutsel-exercise-taglib Config URL: <blank> WAR URL: file:/c:/cygwin/home/dmkarr/java/struts-el/dist/webapps/exercise-taglib When I click Install, I get "FAIL - Encountered exception java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol:". One other annoying aspect of this is that once you get the error, it blows away the field values. I would guess that if I had mistyped one character in a long URL, it would fail with some sort of a "not found" error, and make me start over. In addition, it might make it friendlier if the field widths were wider (perhaps one per line?). -- =================================================================== David M.
