Deploying in ROOT folder using a war file
Hi!
I have the following issue:
I have a war file (myapp.war) which when deployed in
tomcat is accessible by using the url
http://localhost:8080/myapp. Tomcat creates a folder
called 'myapp' in the webapps directory. But I need to
configure the app in such a way that the the app is
accessible without any context path
(http://localhost:8080). This is possible if I copy
the expanded files from myapp folder into the ROOT
folder. But how do I tell tomcat to extract the files
into the ROOT folder instead of creating a 'myapp'
folder for deployment?
I tried using myapp.xml file in the webapps folder
and adding the following content to it:
<Context path="" docBase="myapp.war" debug="0">
</Context>
What this does is it creates the myapp folder but
the application is accessible using both urls:
http://localhost:8080/myapp as well as
http://localhost:8080/. I also see that 2 servlet
instances are loaded in memory.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gautam.

Tomcat is extracting the files to localhost/_ because thats where it
knows it has to extract anything from the ROOT application.

Mark,
I have deleted the ROOT folder from the webapps
directory. I have the unpackWARs set to true in the
host element in server.xml. My tomcat version is
4.1.24.
What tomcat does is it loads up the servlet on
startup as I have specified it in web.xml. It extracts
the WEB-INF/classes and lib folder required for the
servlet in TOMCAT_HOME/work/Standalone/localhost/_
directory. It extracts the jsps and other files as and
when required. But the problem is with stylesheets and
javascript files. These files are not explicitly
called and hence never get extracted. So the jsp does
not find those files.
I also have no ides why tomcat is extracting the
files to TOMCAT_HOME/work/Standalone/localhost/_ .
Thanks,
Gautam.

Any existing ROOT folder has to be deleted before any new ROOT.war is
expanded. This assumes, of course, that you have set unpackWARs=true

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the quick reply. But in doing the way you
have mentioned, tomcat does NOT expand the classes etc
in the ROOT folder. The application does get loaded
and work. I was wondering if there is any way that the
war file could be expanded in the ROOT folder?
regards,
Gautam.
