I am not using a context.xml. Someone suggested I do so, it would be
under META-INF, but I don't have a META-INF subdir except under one
of the example apps. I'm more than happy to do so in the future,
which this person pointed out was better form (more modular?), but
not sure where it is supposed to go, and for the moment just want
to get back to square one, with everything working.
Therefore, the germane addition to my server.xml file is here:
**************************************************************
<!-- Define the default virtual host
Note: XML Schema validation will not work with Xerces 2.2.
-->
<!-- ==== I changed the following line (put absolute path in appBase)
==== -->
<Host name="localhost" appBase="/usr/local/tomcat/webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<!-- === I added this context element, and experimented
wildly with absolute paths for both path and
docbase === -->
<Context path="/smsinfo"
docbase="/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/smsinfo"
debug="5" reloadable="true" />
<!-- Defines a cluster for this node,
By defining this element, means that every manager will be changed.
So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in
there
that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
A cluster has the following parameters:
className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class
clusterName = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything
mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the
nodes
mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the
nodes
mcastBindAddress = bind the multicast socket to a specific address
**************************************************************
Anything else I can add?
