simple question for servlet-configuration of tomcat
Hello,
since several weeks I am testing tomcat as a Servlet Engine with great
success. I use Win98 SE2 with PWS.
Now I have a simple problem (I think):
What I have to do (in the configuration files) when I want to start my
servlets with the URL:
http://localhost/servlet/TestServlet
and not with a WEPAPP-Directory like
http://localhost/example/servlet/TestServlet
Which settings I have to do in the configuration-files and in which
directory I have to put my Servlets ?
Thanks a lot for your answer
With best regards

I have a *similar* problem. None of my servlets are being reloaded using
Tomcat 4, b3. This includes the servlets in /examples context.
The only way I've been able to get servlets to reload (aside from
re-starting Tomcat) is to run /manager/reload?path=/<someContext>.
Apparently servlet reloading is completely broke in T4 b2/3.

Servlet auto-reloading under ROOT context (was RE: simple question for servlet-configuration of tomcat)
Posted by Joel Parramore <pa...@homes.com>.
On a slightly related note: are servlets under the ROOT context
automatically reloaded?
The docs in server.xml would appear to indicate that reloadable="true" is
the default, but there's no entry for the ROOT context in my server.xml
file, and it appears to be inconsistent on our server with regard to
reloading a servlet which has (definitely) changed in
webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes (i.e., Tomcat apparently reloaded the servlet
each time the class was changed, then suddenly stopped doing so, with no
configuration changes made).
Would placing an explicit CONTEXT entry for the ROOT in the server.xml file,
i.e.,
<Context
path="/"
docbase="webapps/ROOT"
crossContext="false"
debug="0"
reloadable="true">
</Context>
resolve this issue? Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?
I can supply more configuration upon request, but at least I'll note that
the server configuration is with Apache 1.3.14 and Tomcat 3.2.1 running
Redhat Linux 7.0 on an Intel box, JDK 1.2.2. Tomcat, aside from slight
changes for mod_jk operation with Apache, is unchanged from the default
configuration.

Joel Parramore

You simply need to put your stuff uner ROOT context.

Please look at the answers after posting a question. I have already answered
to your question yesterday:
> Hi,
>You just have to declare a context like this:
> <Context path="" docBase="/path/to/myapp" debug="0"
reloadable="false" >
> </Context>
>in your TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml. You should also remove the ROOT
context and the ROOT directory that is in the webapp

all the contexts that don't deal with your app,
