Fw: Tomcat WAR expansion
Hi Craig,
Can you please help me out. as per phillip i am approaching you...
Hi,
When i place a WAR file into the Tomcat webapps folder, on Restart tomcat is
not expanding the WAR if server.xml contains the Context entry
related to this, If i remove the Context entry it is expanding. Is there
any configuration required to expand the WAR by keeping the
Context entry in the server.xml?
I am using Tomcat 4.1.18 version.
Thanks and Regards,
Pratt

Re: Fw: Tomcat WAR expansion
Posted by Jacob Kjome <ho...@visi.com>.
This is expected behavior. If you add an explicit <Context ....> for you
app and the "path" attribute matches the name of the .war file (less
".war"), then the .war file will not be expanded. You will have to expand
it yourself. This is kind of a confusing issue for new users and I'm not
entirely sure why Tomcat's behavior is this way. However, the behavior is
this way and you will simply have to live with it.
Note that not all appservers expand the .war file to a directory structure
by default like Tomcat does. You shouldn't count on this behavior if you
want your app to be portable. For instance, if your app isn't expanded to
a directory, any File IO done by the webapp to files your classes assume
will be available via File IO won't work. To access files from an archive
you need to use streams and you should do so in any case because of this
fact unless you specifically check for the File object being null. Anyway,
that goes beyond your question, so I'll stop there.
later,
Jake
