Sending arbitrary file types through geronimo/tomcat
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi folks,
Long sordid tale why I want to do this, but here is what I'm attempting
to do:
I have a repository of files on my server that I'm trying to use wget to
retrieve from that server. The files are a mix of plain text,
tar-balls, zip files, etc. etc.
I set up a context using a geronimo-web.xml file such that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-1.1">
<environment xmlns:dep="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.1">
<moduleId>
<groupId>net.berghold</groupId>
<artifactId>served-files</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>car</type>
</moduleId>
</environment>
<context-root>/served-files</context-root>
<host>www.berghold.net</host>
</web-app>
and did a in-place deployment. So far so good....
When I execute the wget I get something that looks like this:
wget http://www.berghold.net/served-files/awstats-6.7.tar.gz
- --10:12:53-- http://www.berghold.net/served-files/awstats-6.7.tar.gz
Resolving www.berghold.net... 72.249.39.173
Connecting to www.berghold.net|72.249.39.173|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 0 [application/x-gzip]
Saving to: `awstats-6.7.tar.gz'
[ <=> ] 0 --.-K/s in
0s
10:12:54 (0.00 B/s) - `awstats-6.7.tar.gz' saved [0/0]
and a zero length file results. I just know in my heart of hearts there
is some bit I gotta flip to make this work. Or do I have to create a
web.xml with all the possible mime types in it?
What to do?

I think I ran into a similar problem at one point but didn't really
investigate what was going on.
IIUC there's a default content servlet that serves requests for static
content like this. Again IIRC it is configured by default to look in
the unpacked war file inside the geronimo repository, but you can
include such a servlet in your app explicitly and configure it to look
somewhere else.
So my first dumb question is... where is the static content? After
that I'd probably try debugging the default content servlet to see if
it is getting called and what its trying to do.
hope this helps

Hey Peter,
I a going to guess that the problem is that you have it set as
<type>car</type>.
I have a similar inplace deployment that I made to serve as an archive
for files generated from my app. (I didn't set the host element in my
geronimo-web.xml file though).
For comparison here is a copy of my geronimo-web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1">
<dep:environment
xmlns:dep="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.2">
<dep:moduleId>
<dep:groupId>net.jnwd</dep:groupId>
<dep:artifactId>archives</dep:artifactId>
<dep:version>2.0</dep:version>
<dep:type>war</dep:type>
</dep:moduleId>
<dep:hidden-classes/>
<dep:non-overridable-classes/>
</dep:environment>
<context-root>archives</context-root>
</web-app>
HTH,
Jay
