Tomcat issues

[Bogdan Paduraru <bp...@totalsoft.ro>]

Hi,

I'm trying to run a Struts application built with Ant. Ant makes me the
war file, I copy it under application directory in webapps of Tomcat
server. When I try to run something from my browser it tells me the
resource I call is unavailable. When I deploy the application unpacked
from the war file , it runs nicely, no problems. Can you tell me what
should I do on Tomcat configuration to run war correctly?
Another thing : I want to use an application.properties file for my
Struts app in Tomcat, for example I have  <bean:message key="bla.foo"/>
and bla.foo I define in such file. How do I tell Tomcat to use it?

Thanx,
Bogdan

You should enable Tomcat Manager application. When you do that, 
you can see all the applications on the server, so you can check 
if the application is deployed or not.

Did you try to restart server after deployment of WAR file?

I've noticed the same behavior in Tomcat as well.  Try
this:
- Place your .war file in webapps directory
- Start Tomcat and wait for the .war to be completely
expanded
- Restart Tomcat and then try to access the
application

I'm not positive about the specifics, but I do know
that Tomcat loads a default application context as it
expands and deploys a war when a context.xml file is
not provided in the war file.  However, when you
restart Tomcat and the application is already expanded
(i.e. the war doesn't have to be deployed) it loads
the application context as you would expect.
