deployment file help
I'm currently trying to deploy a Web application that wants to be
uploaded as a .WAR to Tomcat or JRun. For Tomcat it wants the
following bolb as a configuration XML:
<Context path="/foo" docBase="/foo/foo.war" unpackWARs="true"
override="true">
<Parameter name="Properties" value="/foo/config" />
</Context>
The instructions say to point the XML configuration file URL at a file
containing this when using the Tomcat Web Application Manager to
deploy a WAR.
For jrun it says to change the JVM settings to add
-Dfoo.properties=/foo to the command line, and to not use hot deploy
with jrun.
I'm not sure how to add this stuff to the deployment plan XML I'm
writing. I'm using the v1.2 docs on how to write deployment plans,
with this as a guide particularly:
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC12/geronimo-webxml.html
Any help?

I modified web.xml to do it, but still want to know the real solution.
The value is installation specific (it's a path to a bunch of files on
the local server) so it needs to change per install....
Now my only problem is I need to make sure I'm using Servelet spec 2.4
and JSP 1.3

While annoying it's not really a problem. I think it will be fixed
in the next release.

Hi
When start Geronimo server I get the next error message, but it seems
it does not affect something so far. How can I solve this problem?

Heh. It probably wouldn't hurt... ;-)
Jira is our bug-tracking database --
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO
I've created a feature request --

I'm not sure what a Jira is or how to raise one... do I need a stick
with brazil nuts on the end?

OK so the tomcat/jetty logs get dumped in there too.

Yep. John, if you could raise a Jira, that helps get things on the To
Do List...
BTW, geronimo log information (question you had on IRC) is in var/log/
geronimo.log. You can adjust log levels via the admin console or
updating var/log/server-log4j.properties

on #geronimo on freenode I'm told Geronimo doesn't have such a thing in
its deployment plan and I had to modify WEB-INF/web.xml manually (which
got me a bit further).
May be something to add in the next version.

The file looks fine to me. What's the issue then? Did you deploy the
webapp? What were the error messages if any?

It's your webapp, isn't it? I'm pretty sure you can mimic something
akin to it in geronimo-web.xml, but let's leave it until we really
need it. Deploy the webapp and send the error messages you encounter.
I assume you're working with geronimo 2.0.2 at the very least.

I have no idea what this means but...
=====
You can configure named values that will be made visible to the web
application as servlet context initialization parameters by nesting
<Parameter> elements inside this element. For example, you can create an
initialization parameter like this:
<Context ...>
...
<Parameter name="companyName" value="My Company, Incorporated"
override="false"/>
...
</Context>
This is equivalent to the inclusion of the following element in the web
application deployment descriptor (/WEB-INF/web.xml):
<context-param>
<param-name>companyName</param-name>
<param-value>My Company, Incorporated</param-value>
</context-param>
but does not require modification of the deployment descriptor to
customize this value.

It's Geronimo 2, right? If so, the following plan will instruct
Geronimo to bind the webapp to /foo. Just include it in the webapp as
WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml file or deploy the webapp with the optional
deployment plan like ./bin/deploy deploy foo.war geronimo-web.xml:
geronimo-web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1">
<context-root>/foo</context-root>
</web-app>
What is the line - <Parameter name="Properties" value="/foo/config" />
doing? What is it for?
