Hi All,
I'm having a problem installing my application to run as the ROOT context.
The problem is in getting Tomcat to expand ROOT.war.
I can make things work as follows:
1. Use ant to create myapp.war, and upload it to the isp.
2. Drop myapp.war in ~tomcat5/webapps; Tomcat expands myapp.war to myapp/
3. Stop Tomcat; rename myapp/ to ROOT/, and delete myapp.war
4. Restart Tomcat; after a delay (maybe 1-2 min), myapp is running as
ROOT/ .
But the following doesn't work:
a. Stop Tomcat; remove everything in webapps
b. Copy myapp.war into webapps, and rename it to ~/tomcat5/webapps/ROOT.war
c. Restart Tomcat
No matter how long I wait (say 5 min), while making requests for the
root context from a browser, ROOT.war doesn't get expanded, and all I get
in the browser is "/ is unavailable". [In contrast, when I drop myapp.war
into webapps, it is almost instantly expanded to myapp/ ]
I've also tried starting the Tomcat manager. It falsly claims that "/"
is running.
I've asked it to Stop and then Start "/", but that doesn't help.
Some details:
Tomcat 5.5.25 Java 1.5.0_12
The Host spec from server.xml:
<Host appBase="webapps" name="myaddress.com" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
<Context path="/manager"
docBase="/opt/tomcat5/server/webapps/manager" privileged="true" debug="0"/>
<Context path="/admin" docBase="/opt/tomcat5/server/webapps/admin"
privileged="true" debug="0"/>
</Host>
The META-INF/context.xml for myapp:
<Context path="" debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
<Resource name="jdbc/sb_data" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
username="XXXXX" password="XXXXX"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sb_data"/>
<Resource name="jdbc/sb_users" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
username="XXXXX" password="XXXXX"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sb_users"/>
</Context>
Does anyone have any tips for how I could carry out installs of
myapp.war as ROOT.war and
get it expanded? Steps 1-4 are a little bit awkward.
If I have to, I assume I could slightly streamline 1-4 by first stopping
the root app (/) with
the manager, dropping in the new ROOT.war, and then executing
jar -xf ./ROOT.war
Does this expand ROOT.war exactly as Tomcat does?
Thanks in advance,
Ken Bowen
