URGENT: Tomcat 7 Aliases
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP! (not yelling, just emphasizing!)
I have abc.war and I want both /abc and /xyz to work for it. I've tried
adding aliases="/abc=abc.war,/xyz=abc.war" and aliases="/abc=abc,/xyz=abc"
but neither of those worked. This is how my original context.xml looked
like.
<Context override="true" swallowOutput="true">
<!-- Doing swallowOutput=true to allow each web applications System.out
and System.err calls
to end up in a separate log, not in catalina.out.
See Jira CA-4589
-->
<!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<!-- Disable session persistence across Tomcat restarts by including
this line; no sessions used for many OGC implemenations-->
<Manager pathname="" />
<!-- Uncomment this to enable Comet connection tacking (provides events

You will have to use re-writing to do this, and you'll have to use a
REDIRECT. You can't simply alias one web application for another. You
can double-deploy, but there really isn't any other good way to do this.
What's your use-case, here, anyway?

Being able to have xyz as an alias for abc would be great, but everything
I've tried with aliases hasn't worked either.

What Chris is saying is the following:
Suppose the user you're running Tomcat under is called tomcat, with a
home directory of /home/tomcat.
Make a directory under /home/tomcat - call it Apps (probably too
generic, but you get the idea).
Now copy abc.war into that directory.
Then you'll create two context.xml files.
Call one abc.xml
Call the other xyz.xml
In both abc.xml and xyz.xml, specify the complete path to abc.war as the
docBase - like this (using the layout above)
<Context docBase="/home/tomcat/Apps/abc.war">
<!-- any other stuff -->
</Context>
Now copy both of these xml files to
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/
More properly:
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[Engine name]/[Host name]/
where [Engine name] is the name attribute from the Engine element in
server.xml, and Host name is the name attribute from the Host element in
server.xml.
I haven't tried this, but I don't see why it shouldn't work.
The basis for this can be found here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html
. . . just my two cents (and no coffee)
/mde/
Re: URGENT: Tomcat 7 Aliases
Posted by Victor Rodriguez <vi...@gmail.com>.
Chris, I really don't want double deployment. I'm trying to have a single
abc.war and avoid having to install apache to redirect/rewrite
http://host:8082/xyz to http://host:8082/abc. I was hoping there was a way
to have tomcat send /xyz to abc.war. I suppose I could also just copy
abc.war to xyz.war and have both in the webapps directory, but I'm trying
to avoid that.

Aah, yes. This is probably because specifying a docBase inside the
appBase usually indicates a mistake that will result in
double-deployment of a web application. But double-deployment is
precicely what you are requesting.
We'll need to do this then:
1. Put abc.war somewhere else
2. Change the path in xyz.xml to match #1
3. Copy xyz.xml to abc.xml in the same directory
4. Profit

It might be. But there isn't a stack trace so I have no idea if that
is even being produced by Tomcat.

Chris, a little more progress this morning...
This is what I currently have in my xyz.xml
<Context override="true" swallowOutput="true" docBase="wfsservice.war">
And, this is what I get in my catalina.out...
INFO: Deploying configuration descriptor
/dg/local/cots/tomcat/tomcat_8082/conf/Catalina/localhost/xyz.xml
...then...
WARNING: A docBase /dg/local/cots/tomcat/tomcat_8082/webapps/abc.war inside

...then...
SEVERE: Error starting static Resources
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base
/dg/local/cots/tomcat/tomcat_8082/webapps/xyz does not exist or is not a
readable directory
So, it looks like it's looking for an exploded xyz directory.

Is that path correct? What is the stack trace of that error?
I would have expected the path to be pointing to abc.war, not .../xyz

Tomcat 7 aliases are intended to map URLs within a single web
application. You can't use it to duplicate the web application on two
base paths.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Put your WAR file in webapps/abc.war. This will deploy as usual.
2. Copy webapps/abc.war/META-INF/context.xml into
conf/Catalina/localhost/xyz.xml and modify the <Context> element like
this:
<Context override="true" swallowOutput="true" docBase="webapps/abc.war
">
...
</Context>
Hope that helps,
