Tomcat 5.5 Possible Context Question

[Scott Purcell <sp...@vertisinc.com>]

Running Tomcat 5.5.15 on Win 2000.

 

Originally we were running Tomcat 4.x?. So in order to upgrade our
administrator loaded 5.5.15 and copied (copied) the webapps from the 4.x
to the 5.5.15.

 

There are currently four sites running, and I can hit the index.html for
each context. But I cannot invoke any of the servlets within the webapp.
After checking the 4.x server.xml, I recalled that we put the context
entries there for these four sites.

 

But as I am reading the 5.5.15 docs, it looks like putting them there is
frowned upon. I would like to try and get this resolved, and possibly
someone ran into this same thing? Is a context entry required somewhere
in order to fire up servlets?

 

 

Thanks,

I saw the response from chuck....if the invoker servlet is a security 
risk, and only the mappings need to be done, then that is the way you 
should do it.

Do you have the servlet definitions and mappings in the web.xml for the 
apps?
Also remember (i think) seeing something about tomcat 5 not using the 
invoker servlet by default anymore. If that is true, it would need to be 
uncommented in the web.xml file in the conf directory
