Hi all
I have searched the archives and has seen many posting on this but
still need more information.
Right now, I use Eclipse as my IDE. When a project is ready for
testing I export to a WAR and use Tomcat's GUI Manager "WAR file to
deploy" option to deploy my application to my server.
So far, I have been setting up a context.xml file under META-INF in
which I don't specify a path or docBase. This works and as expected the
application deploys under the webapps folder (the default).
What do I have to do to have the application reside in a physical
directory outside of webapps, for example, /data0/tomcat/home. Make
changes to the existing context.xml? Do I have to remove this xml and
create it under CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost with the name of
the app?
My understanding is that if I add the docBase attribute specifying a
physical directory that should be all that is required but in both cases
above this do not work. Maybe it is because I can't simply deploy using
the Tomcat Manager the way I use to do it.
Sample of testApp.xml below
<Context debug="0" antiResourceLocking="false"
antiJARLocking="false" reloadable="true"
docBase="/data0/tomcat/home">
<Resource name="jdbc/hrm"
auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
...
/>
</Context>
Any help is greatly appreciated.
