How to configuration rails upload directory in tomcat?
My basic requirement is upload and show image.
I use rails on jruby and warble package the project as war on windows. In
rails, I set my upload directory as '#{Rails.root}/public/data/users'. And
it works on common rails light server like webrick. But after I deployed to
tomcat, the 'public' disappear. All the files under public went to the
parent directory of WEB-INF. And after the server started, the rails
function can't find the path.
Then I tried to move my 'data' directory back to WEB-INF, but the url
doesn't work. I tried to create link in windows. But it still not works.
Can anybody suggestion some work around to do this? Thanks.
Your faithfully, Kind regards.

The list strips embedded & attached images.
Why not specify a different variable than #{Rails.root}? Seems like
you're shooting yourself in the foot by using it.

Re: How to configuration rails upload directory in tomcat?

Thanks all your response, let me clarify:
Here's my development environment:
OS: Windows 7 6.1 x86
Tomcat: Apache Tomcat/6.0.26
Java: jdk1.6.0_21-b07
Jruby: jruby 1.5.1 (ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 249) (2010-07-28 6586) (Java
HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_21) [x86-java]
Here's my development step:
1. Create a 'data' directory under 'public', use to upload image
2. In my code, the upload directory write as 'upload_directory =
"#{Rails.root}/public/data"', Here's the directory structure:
[image: 2010-10-19_091642.png]
3. Use warabler to package the whole rails project, Here's the directory
structure now, you can see the data directory now is on the root of the war.
[image: 2010-10-19_091740.png]
4. Then I start tomcat, the server can be startup successful. But when I try
to upload the file, it goes error. This is because the Rails.root is point
to WEB-INF now, and all directory under public moved to root of war.
I think there's something wrong with my strategy, but I don't know how to
deal with it in rails. Or I need to set the upload directory to
"#{Rails.root}/../data" when running under Tomcat? Is there anything better
method? Thanks.
Here's my web.xml:
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<context-param>
<param-name>rails.env</param-name>
<param-value>production</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>public.root</param-name>
<param-value>/</param-value>
</context-param>
<filter>
<filter-name>RackFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.jruby.rack.RackFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>RackFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.jruby.rack.rails.RailsServletContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
</web-app>
Your faithfully, Kind regards.

It disappears from the filing system, or from the path?

That would be the webapp directory. Can you illustrate this with a full
path?
Can you detail your exact Tomcat, Java & OS versions please?
How have you configured the Host in server.xml?

Why would you move it to WEB-INF?

Uploading files to the webapp directory isn't a good strategy, because
the contents may be lost when you reload the application.
Specifying a full path is more sensible. You could then map that
directory into the application path's URL namespace, by defining a dummy
application which serves that path/directory.
