Hello,
Thanks for your response. I don't intend to run 2 apps (virtual
hosts) on the server, just one. I have 2 setup
on the same server so I could compare results from the different
setups. I could not get it to work using our
shipping configuration which is appBase pointing to a folder off the
c:\ drive. But I discovered it worked
setting up the app the traditional way.
We have an established customer where the appBase is not off of %
CATALINAHOME% but instead in a folder off the c:\ drive.
Therefore I'm trying to get the filter mapping to work with the
appBase set to a folder of the c:\ drive.
If I understand what you are saying, this will and cannot not work
with appBase set to a folder of the c:\ drive ?
Thanks for any clarification.

Hello,
I'm trying to get filter mapping working in Windows Tomcat 6.0.20.
I can
get it to work one way but not another.
I have 2 virtual hosts where filter mapping on one host is working (I
get a hit) and another host that does not work (no hits)
Here are the 2 virtual hosts as seen in Server.xml file :
Fails (no hits)
<Host name="ft.com" appBase="c:/FilterTest"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
Works (I get hits)
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
Here is my filter :
<filter>
<filter-name>FileAccessFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.mcs.webapp.filter.FileAccessFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>FileAccessFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/Proofs/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
If I type the following I get a hit (Using Second host from above) :
http://localhost/Proofs/1/calendar.png
If I type the following I DO NOT get a hit (Using First host from
above) :
http://ft.com/Proofs/1/calendar.png
In both cases the png image is found and displayed in the browser.
My guest is it has something to do with the appBase where the one
that
works is :
appBase="webapps"
and the one that fails is :
appBase="c:/FilterTest"
Yes, you are correct.
The "appBase" attribute sets the location where applications
reside, it does not set the location of a specific application.
Unless your application is called ROOT.war (or is the exploded dir
ROOT) and is placed inside "C:/FilterTest", you're not going to get
any joy.
You're also likely to have trouble seeing requests on that Host,
unless you are requesting "http://ft.com/Proofs/calendar.jpg"; - as
you've set no aliases and the Host named "localhost" will pick up
all other requests as it's probably set as the defaultHost in the
Engine.
See the docs for more info about configuring virtual hosts and
contexts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
