Help - Newbie questions - where are the uploaded files stored ?

[MATHOT Jacques <ja...@eurocontrol.int>]

Hi All,

I am implementing an upload function for my web applications using Tomcat 4.0.14 server. I was expecting the files to be stored on the root directory of my application and not in one of the own Tomcat directories.
How can I specify that the directory to be used is my application root directory ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jacques Mathot

Question about multiple instances instead virtual hosts

["Bedrijven.nl" <ma...@bedrijven.nl>]

Hello,

Now I have a production server with tomcat 4.1.24. I have several
applications installed (in webapps) and sets them up as virtual hosts. I get
the idea that using multiple instances would work better for me. I read the
documentation but what I read is there are 2 possible solutions: for each
instance install a new Tomcat installation and second modify the
CATALINA_BASE directory. Now my questions:

How could I best setup the multiple instances?? And second question is: my
Tomcat webserver is standalone. That means handles all the http requests to
port 80. How can I make this work with more than one instance?? In other
words how do I establish that a http request (port 80) will go to the right
Tomcat instance??

Thanx in advanced,

Maarten

hi

you can set a session property like 
System.setProperty("user.dir", "/your/application/home");
this will change the applications current working dir.

i have not checked the side effects. whether tomcat will be affected
by this action or not

	I don't think you can.  You'll run into what seems to be a related problem
if you try to, for example, use struts-tiles and specify a dtd in the
tiles-defs.xml file.  The location is based on whereever you happen to
be when tomcat is started.  i.e. if you are in /foo/bar when you run
startup.sh files will end up there.
	Either create a directory somewhere else, and hard code the entire path
to that, or hardcode the path to the tomcat webapps directory and use 
request.getContextPath() to append the application directory.

	What is this crap?  This seems rather inappropriate to be sending to
a mailing list.
