Tomcat does not unpack WAR file (Tomcat 5.5.20)
Hi
When I drop a WAR file into the webapps folder on my dev machine -
running Tomcat 6.0.16 - Tomcat unpacks it on startup.
When I do the same on the production box - running Tomcat 5.5.20 -
nothing happens.
The WAR file that I am deploying is ROOT.war; there is a corresponding
ROOT.xml under conf\Catalina\localhost. (I'm not sure if those details
have any bearing on the problem - according to one archived post, there
may be a connection.)
On both machines, the <host> tags look identical:
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
Any assistance would be appreciated. :)
Pete

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html should provide
answers to your questions.

I think so. cookies="true" determines if you want cookies to be used for
session identifier. If set to true, I believe that Tomcat will
automatically use URL rewrite if a browser does not accept cookies.

Re: Tomcat does not unpack WAR file (Tomcat 5.5.20)
Posted by Peter <pc...@gmail.com>.
I may be going slightly off-topic for this thread, but I have 2
questions regarding the ROOT.xml ROOT.xml fragment file...
As a test, I removed ROOT.xml and tested the app behavior. Specifically,
I performed these steps to remove the ROOT.xml fragment file:
=> I removed ROOT.xml from ...conf\Catalina\localhost.
=> I stopped Tomcat, deleted the 'work' folder and started Tomcat again.
=> I cleared all cookies from the client machine's web browser.
The ROOT.xml file that I removed looked like this:
<Context cookies="false" path="" debug="1"/>
What puzzles me is this:
1. In order to map the ROOT web context to the root URI ('/'), I
included the (path="") attribute in ROOT.xml.
However, even after removing the ROOT.xml fragment file, the ROOT web
app is still mapped to the root URI ('/') i.e. when I navigate to the
server's root domain name, the ROOT wabapp is invoked.
Was I mistaken in thinking that the (path="") attribute is required?
2. Similarly, I included the (cookies="false") attribute to enable URL
rewriting for browsers that do not support cookies.
However, even after removing the ROOT.xml fragment file, URL rewriting
takes place - IF the web browser does not support cookies.
Have I missed something - or does the (cookies="false") do something
slightly different to what I thought?
Just to re-iterate, I am runningTomcat 5..5.20
Thanks

Yes - they are. (as I stated in my original post)

Re: RE: Tomcat does not unpack WAR file (Tomcat 5.5.20)
Posted by sam wun <sw...@gmx.com>.
hi,
I m having the same problem.
the war file is not unpack.
I have found the following parameters are set in the server.xml file:
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
I have *deploy* a cat.war file to the following directory:
linux:~/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/webapps # ls -l
total 78
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 320 Aug 26 10:02 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 376 Jul 31 04:27 ..
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 312 Jul 31 04:25 ROOT
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 432 Jul 31 04:26 admin
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 120 Jan 29 2008 balancer
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 96 Aug 26 10:02 cat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 76716 Aug 26 10:02 cat.war
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 592 Jul 22 07:44 jsp-examples
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 272 Jul 31 04:13 manager

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 168 Jul 22 07:44 webdav
linux:~/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/webapps #
The directory *cat* is created by tomcat and the cat.war file is in the
directory as well. But inside cat/ directory contains only 2 folders:
linux:~/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/webapps # cd cat
linux:~/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/webapps/cat # ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 96 Aug 26 10:02 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 320 Aug 26 10:02 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Aug 26 10:02 META-INF
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 120 Aug 26 10:02 WEB-INF
How to instruct tomcat to unpack this cat.war file as well?
Thanks

RE: Tomcat does not unpack WAR file (Tomcat 5.5.20)
Posted by Martin Gainty <mg...@hotmail.com>.
check your unpackWARS and autoDeploy parameters are both set to 'true' e.g.
$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml
<Host
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"

Re: Tomcat does not unpack WAR file (Tomcat 5.5.20)
Posted by Peter <pc...@gmail.com>.
Thanks Johnny
On the production server, Tomcat is actually being started up by another
'parent' application. Since this does not appear to be a (pure) 'Tomcat'
issue, I will take it up with the guys who manage the 'parent' app.
Thanks for the assistance.

Re: Tomcat does not unpack WAR file (Tomcat 5.5.20)
Posted by Peter <pc...@gmail.com>.
It turns out that the problem IS connected to the ROOT.xml file under
conf\Catalina\localhost.
As soon as I remove ROOT.xml, the ROOT.war unpacks.
This is what my ROOT.xml file looks like:
<Context cookies="false" path="" debug="1"/>
There has been some prior discussion around this topic. For example, see:
http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-user&m=116107471021645&w=2
http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-user&m=116302992202121&w=2
Is this a known issue / 'bug' with Tomcat 5?
:)

Pete, nothing comes to mind, you seem to have the bases covered...
One possibility is that the existing ROOT web ap is busy...
Maybe a thread running or something... TC will not start up the new guy, if
the old one cant let go..
possibly from the manager console /manager/html tell the old one to undeploy
first maybe...
Also just make sure from you dev environment that the ROOT context path is
""
really empty and not "root" which it maybe doing... wild guess ;)
