1st question: if i do a mvn tomcat:run does this give me the ability to edit files and have the application reload, so i can see the changes in real time e.g. grails, rails, jetty plugin i believe?
2nd problem: im trying to get the tomcat maven plugin to run with my site. i run: mvn tomcat:run everything seems like its going to run fine until spring tries to load some environment variables (application context): <bean id="rimPropertyUrl" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean"> <property name="jndiName"> <value>java:comp/env/mysitePropertiesLocation </value> </property> </bean> that i have stored in my context file which i have placed in "src/main/webapp/META-INF/context.xml" (context.xml) <Environment name="mysitePropertiesLocation" type="java.lang.String" value="file:///path/to/dir/mysite.properties" override="true"/> The properties file is where it should be. the error i get is this: > nested exception is javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify > class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or > in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial this isn't a spring problem because i can run the application fine by storing the context file in TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost. is there something else i can try to get this to work? Thanks in advance j
