replacing ROOT
Hi!
I'm probably just stupid but I fail to replace the ROOT-context with my
own application.
I've tried to put path="/" and path="" but nothing of those override the
default ROOT-context.
I've also seen in server.xml that the part that would define ROOT is
commented out.
This is tomcat 4.1.31.
Any ideas?

As ever, if you have a simple test case that reproduces this issue then
please create a bugzilla item and it will be investigated.

See the documentation for the 'reloadable' Context attribute:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
Reloading is switched off by default, because it's not a feature you want to
use with production servers.
The documentation also mentions that you can - as an alternative - use the
Manager web application to conveniently trigger reloads 'on demand'.

This reminds me that we've been having a lot of issues with Tomcat
caching (refusing to recompile) changed JSP files. Not sure if there's
a bug on it, but it stinks having to restart the whole container
sometimes, just for a small JSP change. This problem seems to have
gotten worse if anything in Tomcat 5.0.x.

I'm running tomcat 4.1.31 and just solved the problem. It's part my
fault, part a stupid way of tomcat to handle compiled jsp.
After installing my own app under / tomcat refused to recompile the .jsp
and showed the old page all the time. Not until I removed all the
.class-files I got it to work. This was a hard nut to crack, to me it's
completly illogical that tomcat doesn't recompile the files :)

This sounds very fishy to me. I've been using that in my server.xml
file forever. In any case, this is XML, so I don't see why this would
be a problem. I suspect that the original poster's problem, if this is
a Tomcat 5.x issue and not tomcat 4, has to do with problems in the
../conf/Catalina/<hostname>/<context>.xml file, which if you're
upgrading from Tomcat 4, you might not think about.

Re: replacing ROOT
Posted by David Smith <dn...@cornell.edu>.
Comments in xml can start anywhere on or above the line you want
commented out and end anywhere after. New lines are treated as
whitespace and have no meaning when parsed.
<!--
<Context .....>.....</Context>
-->
is just as valid as
<!-- <Context....>....</Context> -->
Comments can't be nested, but that's a whole different ball of wax.

Comment for context should start from same line where context line starts.
It should be as follows
<!-- <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/> -->

The weird think is that that context is already commented and has been
so since I installed tomcat. It looks like this.
<!-- Tomcat Root Context -->
<!--
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>
-->
When are the xml-files from /webapps read?

Hello,
In server.xml just comment original root context entry, and write your new
context.
Eg.-
Original Entry -
<!--<Context path="" docBase="webapps/ROOT" debug="0"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>-->
New Entry -
<Context path="/" docBase="<physical path for source files>" debug="0"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>
