Tomcat 6 - includes broken
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from Tomcat 5.5.15 to 6.0.10. Everything seems
to have gone fine except that most of my includes are broken.
I can do this:
<%@include file = "something.jsp" %>
But I can't do this:
<%@include file = "/path/to/something.jsp" %>
The latter gives me a status 500 and "File not found" on the include.
This is independent of the content of the file I'm trying to include.
Does anyone know what might have changed from 5.5.15 to 6.0.10 for
htins to happen? Do I need to change some configurations?
Thanks

No, that works fine (I did spend the time to test it, and as I said,
the test suite will test this feature). This is the same mechnism for
request dispatching, so I assume we would know it if it was not
working.

No.

I would assume it works in general and is specific to my instance here.
Note that
<%@include file = "/path/to/something.jsp" %>
works fine if I am inside the root directory of the webapp, If however
I have that include inside /somewhere/file.jsp then it always gives me
a File not found.
If I put /path/to/something.jsp inside the directory /somewhere/ it is
then able to find the include - which looks to me like the leading
slash in the include is having no effect and the path is relative to
the current path and not the webapp root?

It works for me (this will be tested in the TCK, so there can't be any
regressions on this sort of feature). The path is still relative to
the webapp root, of course.

Yes, the context docBase is set at "."
Easy enough for me to change that and I'm guessing there are good
reasons not to have a setup like that.
Thanks.

That link has been removed in svn. The default configuration settings
for all contexts are set in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml

Apologies for all the replies but has setting a default context
changed? I noticed this page linked on the Configuration Reference -
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/defaultcontext.html.
Unfortunately, this page gives me a 404.
Thanks.

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated.
I think part of my confusion was that when I create a directory to
deploy into, I have to remove subdirectories from the appBase because
it finds them first there before it looks in the ROOT directory I'm
deploying into.
This may be as intended but it was somewhat confusing when I've only
ever used the old style deployment I picked up years ago.

Which is exactly what it's supposed to do. A docBase of "." is never,
never correct. As others have pointed out, you should stop trying to
force use of the old deployment mechanism, and use the current, more
robust one.
1) Remove the <Context> element from server.xml.
2) Remove the existing webapps/ROOT directory.
3) Deploy your app in C:/wwwroot/path/ROOT.war (or C:/wwwroot/path/ROOT,
if expanded).
4) Create a META-INF/context.xml file in your webapp containing a
<Context> element with only a privileged="true" attribute (if you really
need even that). You may alternatively place this <Context> element in
conf/Catalina/www.something.com/ROOT.xml, if desired.

you're trying to configure the default webapp which is known as the ROOT
application, and which needs to be referenced as such.
remove the 'path' and 'docBase' attributes and put your whole app in a
folder called: c:/wwwroot/path/ROOT.

I am putting this in server.xml inside the relevant host. Not fussed
about reloads. Mostly I serve a bunch of generated JSP's from various
directories.
Here's the host setup:
<Host name="www.something.com." debug="0" appBase="c:/wwwroot/path/"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="" docBase="." debug="0" privileged="true"/>
</Host>
This is what's not working. Additionally, If I do set the docBase to
something else then it serves paths under the root relative to the
appBase, not the docBase. If I leave it there with a . for the docBase
then it fails on <@include as it thinks / is relative to the current
directory and not the docBase.
Am I no longer able to configure Tomcat this way?

The path attribute only works in server.xml. It is ignored in all
other cases. Also, it is not recommended to define contexts in
server.xml since you have to restart Tomcat to pick up any changes.
Outside of server.xml you have to:
- name your war ROOT.war
- deploy an exploded war in a directory call ROOT in your appBase
- place your WAR/exploded directory outside of your appBase and use a
context file named ROOT.xml
HTH,
Mark

Further, I am unable to set a default context effectively. Eg.
<Context path="" docBase="/default" debug="0" privileged="true"/>
This won't serve /something/index.jsp on the site from
/default/something/index.jsp but instead from the root of the appBase
(not the content docBase). The only thing it will serve from /default
is files directly inside it.
If however I specify a different context like this:
<Context path="/mycontext" docBase="/default" debug="0" privileged="true"/>
Then I can server everything up from /mycontext without not found
errors on any includes and everything working fine. Of course, I don't
want to serve the whole site under such a path.
I'd say there's some chance I'm doing something obviously wrong here
but as I said I've had no troubles until 6.0.10.
Thanks.

Actually, having changed that the problem persists.
I either get a simple "not found" on the .jsp I'm trying to include or
I get this. I'm not sure if there's any relevance here.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.jsp.index_jsp
java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JasperLoader.loadClass(JasperLoader.java:134)

org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:266)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803)
This is on Windows 2000. As I said, I've had 5.5.15 running fine for some time.
Any ideas?

Do you have your host appBase set to be the same as your webapp
docBase? This will cause the behaviour you see here. This worked
(purely by accident - it was never intended to) in previous versions
due to a bug that has since been fixed.
