Problem with accessing HTML page under non-default appBase in Tomcat.
Hi Folks,
I'm trying to access a HTML file placed in the appBase that is not under
the default "webapps" directory of Tomcat 5.5. I cannot access the URL
(http://10.88.129.18:8088/post35.html) from browser.
Server.xml:
========
<Host name="localhost" appBase="/home/redhot/redhot1.25/redhotdata/web"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
Note: The post35.html in the above URL is under
"/home/redhot/redhot1.25/redhotdata/web" i.e. the appBase as defined
above.
What could be the issue? Have I configured Tomcat correctly? Please
help.
Thanks & regards,
Rajendra

It's giving me HTTP 400: Bad Request error when trying to access the URL.

Thanks Caldarale/David!
Your solution worked. I will take a look at the documents as well.

No, it's exactly the same problem: you don't understand what a servlet
container is supposed to do. Please read the references given to you
and look at how the webapps delivered with Tomcat are structured.
You'll need to place the files for your default webapp under a
[appBase]/ROOT (case matters).

Tomcat.
Posted by David Smith <dn...@cornell.edu>.
To be clear, the appBase can contain nothing but webapps and tomcat
considers all content to be a part of one webapp or another. The ROOT
webapp is a special webapp that processes all requests not matching any
other webapp's path. To serve up your html file from the root of your
site, place it in the ROOT webapp. See the tomcat docs and the servlet
spec (especially the servlet spec) for a clear description of how this
is handled.

RE: Problem with accessing HTML page under non-default appBase in Tomcat.
Posted by rajendra_sakpal <ra...@persistent.co.in>.
Hi Caldarale,
Yesterday's issue:
=================
Thanks for the reply. We are supposed deploy the application which has
JSP/HTML pages & some Java classes bundled as JAR in Tomcat.
Note: We cannot change the application the way it is bundled now.
Today's issue:
==============
However, I am curious to know if there's any resolution for the problem with
accessing HTML page under non-default appBase in Tomcat.
FYI: The problem that I described here has nothing to do with the problem
that I posted yesterday.
I just want to know if I am missing anything/doing anything wrong in
configuring Tomcat so that I can access the HTML under the appBase which is
not "webapps" but some other location on the server.
If possible, let me know if you have a solution to the issue that I reported
today.
Thanks & regards,
Rajendra

To repeat Gregor's comments from yesterday, when you asked the same
question:
"Seems as if you lack the basic knowledge of what a ServletContainer
(aka Tomcat) is about.
"I got no idea why you want to deploy a jar-file within Tomcat - are you
trying something like Webstart?
"What is you application, anyways.? Is it a Servlet / JSP? If so, then
the your deployment was already wrong using Tomcat 4.
