Problem with application installation in Tomcat 5.5.
Hi Folks,
I am new to Tomcat & WEB applications deployment/development. I have been
facing some problems in getting the application up in Tomcat 5.5. I am
using JDK 1.6.0_03. Somehow, the WEB interface for the application doesn't
show up. NETSTAT -A does show that the server is listening on the port.
The appBase is outside of the default "webapps" directory. Tomcat logs show
no exceptions. The application is bundled as a jar & included in the
classpath.
Could you please provide pointers to resolve the issue?
Thanks & regards,
Rajendra

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.
Maybe you want to read this as a start:

I suspect that there's a change in the way we should be deploying the
application in Tomcat 5.5. What worked for Tomcat 4.X doesn't seem to work
with Tomcat 5.5.
Thanks & regards,
Rajendra

Hi Charles,
Thanks for your reply.
We have followed the same procedure to deploy the application in Tomcat 5.5
as we did in Tomcat 4.X. The application worked properly in Tomcat 4.X i.e.
The application jar was in the classpath as set in the
TOMCAT/bin/setclasspath.sh.
Here's the entry in server.xml pointing to the appBase:
<Host name="localhost"
appBase="/home/redhot/redhot1.25/redhotdata/web"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
Also, I have added the jar in <TOMCAT_HOME>/bin/setclasspath.sh.
What's the alternative way to deploy the application as a jar file in
Tomcat?
Thanks & regards,
Rajendra

Not possible; appBase defines where the default webapps directory. Do
you mean docBase?

A fatal error. To repeat: never, never put things on Tomcat's
classpath. Do not use the CLASSPATH variable under any circumstances,
and do not add webapp jars to the command line -cp parameter.
Tomcat has a well-defined and well-documented classloader mechanism; use
it:

Configuration and deployment are somewhat different in 5.5; read the
docs.

Do not ever, ever do that, even under Tomcat 4. It was a bad idea then,
it's a worse one now.
> appBase="/home/redhot/redhot1.25/redhotdata/web"
The above is fine; it tells Tomcat to use the specified directory as
appBase, rather than the standard $CATALINA_BASE/webapps.
> Also, I have added the jar in <TOMCAT_HOME>/bin/setclasspath.sh.
Repeat: don't ever do that. Webapps should be packaged in a .war file
(or the expanded equivalent), and webapp jars should be placed in
WEB-INF/lib inside the webapp. This is documented in the servlet spec,
which you should be familiar with.

Follow the servlet spec and the procedures in the Tomcat 5.5 doc.
