I am not 100% sure that I have read your mail right but it sounds like
your WEB-INF folder is at the wrong level, which would make everything
else fail. (Are you using the <war> task? This should make building the
file quite easy).
A war file should have the following structure
(root) <= put HTML, JSP, images etc. here
|
+-(any folders) <= put HTML, JSP, images etc. here
|
+-WEB-INF <= web.xml goes here
|
+-classes <= any classes (in your usual Java package directory
structure)
|
+-lib <= JAR files referenced by classes
It's years since I used Tomcat so I'm not sure about the specifics of
deployment to it any more, but generally if your War file is myapp.war,
then once deployed its default page would be at
http://yourserver:yourport/myapp
Hope this helps

Subject: deployment of web app
I am attempting to deploy my first web application. I have read many
tutorials and have worked on it for sometime now. I simply cannot
understand what is needed to complete the process. I do not know what
files need to be modified and placed where. This is what I have come up
with so far. I have a web application called myapp. Inside is a root
directory called bluegrass. Bluegrass holds all my jsp and html pages
along with a WEB-INF folder. This WEB-INF folder has three components.
A
Lib folder, a classes folder, and a web.xml file. My classes folder
holds
one java class. I compile this application using ant. I am left with a
.WAR file. I take this .WAR file and place it in the root
directory(webapps) of Tomcat5.5. Tomcat then takes the war file and
distributes to the directory. I then go to my address line and type in
the following: http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?path=/myapp. When I
do this I continually receive a Failed: failed to find application at
context path /myapp. I then go back to check my file only to see that
myapp is no longer there. I am not sure why whole folder keeps
disappearing. Does anyone know if I am supposed to modify the
manager.xml
files or maybe create a context.xml file or modify the server.xml file??
This is what I am unclear on. I can give more info if needed.
Thanks
Ethan
