I've gotta say I've had a miserable time with this one. I've tried
nearly permutation of configurations in the Tomcat documentation and
nothing seems to work; either I get the default host or a white blank
screen.
What I need is for www.mydomain.com to host mywebapp on the default path
and anotherapp on path /anotherapp
If I have this setup in server.xml, everything works:
...
<Host name="mydomain.com" appBase="webapps/mywebapp"
unpackWars="true" autoDeploy="true">
<Context path="" docBase="." debug="0" cookies="false" />
<Context path="/anotherapp" docBase="../anotherapp" debug="0" />
...
However, to get the dynamic webapp reloading I've been recommended to
move my <Context> elements out of server.xml. As I am running muliple
virtual hosts I understand that I cannot use conf/context.xml because
this applies to all hosts.
So I have tried each of the following, without success:
- creating a conf/Catalina/mydomain.com/mywebapp.xml
- creating a conf/Catalina/mydomain.com/ROOT.xml
- creating a conf/Catalina/mydomain.com/context.xml
- creating a conf/Catalina/mydomain.com/context.xml.default
- creating a META-INF/context.xml in the web app (although I'd prefer to
sort this out within Tomcat anyway)
I've also tried several variations on the docBase: ".", "mywebapp", the
absolute path, the absolute path to the .war file...
I mean, why wouldn't this work?
in conf/server.xml:
<Host name="mydomain.com" appBase="webapps/mywebapp" unpackWars="true">
in conf/Catalina/mydomain.com/mywebapp.xml:
<Context path="" docBase="." debug="0" />
Any ideas on how I can achieve the equivalent of my working server.xml
with nested Contexts in some other file?

yeah...
remove the context defs from server.xml and put them in
META-INF/context.xml, which is a dir/file inside your webapp.
this method of defining contexts is not encouraged, because you have to
restart the server to reload the config, amongst other reasons.
the default web app is called ROOT.war, your other one would be
asmalljspapp.war. put both files in the appBase dir.
when it unpacks, it'll drop the contexts like so:
appBase/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml
appBase/asmalljspapp/META-INF/context.xml
i strongly recommend that you have a read of the Context config stuff in
the docs. you'll need to set reloadable="true".

Hello,
I have a virtual host configured on my Tomcat 5.5.20 cluster
installation.
In my server.xml, I have
<Host name="mydomain.com" appBase="webapps/mywebapp" unpackWars="true"
autoDeploy="true">
What config do you have in your Context(s)?
p
And yet if I copy in a new war file (I'm using ant's deploy task) I
don't see any changes to my webapp. If I look at the individual server's
webapp via the manager application, I see the changes; but I don't see
any changes by looking at the virtual host address until I restart
Tomcat.
Why?
Thanks in advance.
