i got three suggestions. (i was out friday.) i've looked at them all. | | Hi | The other thing is please remove your TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/yourApp.war file | from webapps directory to some other place. Other wise you may loose your | settings again if you restart tomcat. | Ask me for any help, | Regards, | Dilan Kelanibandara
i don't have any *.war files of my own. there are some in this third party thing, but i didn't put any of them in any part of the tomcat tree. | | Hi, | Hi, | Rather saving your context.xml file in the place you specify, you can save | it in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/yourApp/META-INF/ i didn't specify where to save anything. i'm taking all defaults. where should i change that? | | And you can specify 'Context' in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/yourApp/WEB-INF/web.xml | The context should be at the end of web.xml , any way it depends on your | other resource definition. here's all the web.xml files in the tomcat home tree. none of these get modified, so that should mean none of them are getting my context. also, all of these are files which come with the distribution, right? /apache-tomcat-5.5.17/conf/web.xml /apache-tomcat-5.5.17/server/webapps/host-manager/WEB-INF/web.xml /apache-tomcat-5.5.17/server/webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml /apache-tomcat-5.5.17/server/webapps/admin/WEB-INF/web.xml /apache-tomcat-5.5.17/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml /apache-tomcat-5.5.17/webapps/balancer/WEB-INF/web.xml /apache-tomcat-5.5.17/webapps/jsp-examples/WEB-INF/web.xml /apache-tomcat-5.5.17/webapps/servlets-examples/WEB-INF/web.xml /apache-tomcat-5.5.17/webapps/tomcat-docs/WEB-INF/web.xml /apache-tomcat-5.5.17/webapps/tomcat-docs/appdev/sample/web/WEB-INF/web.xml /apache-tomcat-5.5.17/webapps/webdav/WEB-INF/web.xml | Stick to tomcat documentation at | | | http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html sorry. i'm a newbie to all this java stuff. i looked at it, i can't see where to start. there's some people here who may be able to help me w/ what the docs mean, but.... i can't tell. | | Tomcat5.5 uses a different JNDI resource definition than Tomcat5. That is | why you are not allowed to save that file in the location you specify. does this mean the 5.0.28 might work? i downloaded it, i haven't had a chance to do anything w/ it yet. | | Reply me for any clarifications. | | Regards, | Dilan Kelanibandara | | Also you will need write/create permissions to the %TOMCAT_HOME%/work | folder.. the process was running as user jgs. the whole directory tree is owned by jgs. the work dir was mode 755. i changed it to 1777 for good measure. didn't help. (i changed all the directories in an earlier attempt to 1777, didn't help. i got to wondering whether there was something which looked at permissions and decided 1777 was too loose, so i went back to 755.) i guess i will try 5.0.28 as soon as i can. thanks. i'll let you know, of course. j. | Martin- | > > Hi > The other thing is please remove your TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/yourApp.war file > from webapps directory to some other place.
