Deployment: admin vs manager
Should I deploy apps with the manager or admin
interface?
With the manager interface, it is easier, because I
can also specify my application.xml and therefor do
not have to configure my datasources manually. But,
using the manager interface, everytime I restart
Tomcat, I have to re-install the apps also - the
context is lost (the applications are not stored under
the webapps dir - the sysop wants everyone's apps in
his own homedir).
So which interface must I use for deployment and how
can I overcome the problem mentioned above?
Thanks

My problem with the manager app is that the
application doesn't appear to be persistant if the
application.xml is not in the webapps dir. When Tomcat
restarts, my app disappears and I have to re-install.
The same also happens if I deploy with ant and don't
have the .xml in the webapps dir. In development I use
ant as well, production deployment they are a bit more
tight on.
My question then should be: how do I make a context
persistant if it is not the the webapps dir?

I am using Tomcat 5.0.16 under Linux Redhat9.
I am relatively new to Tomcat myself but I have found that it is easier to
use the "ant" command from your command line prompt to install (ie. deploy)
a Tomcat application.
In either case I use the command "ant dist" command to compile my
application and prepare a .WAR distribution file. Next I simply use the ant
command line "ant install" to deploy my application,
If you want to access the Manager application via your browser you could
always enter a URL like the following :
Http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?path=/<appname>&war=file:/home/bkimelman
<application-directory>/dist/<appname><appversion>.war
It seems to me that the easier wau to go is to use Ant from your command
line.

The system is setup so that each user gets a home
directory, eg
/home/riaan/
In that, I have:
/home/riaan/application.war
/home/riaan/application.xml
I then use the manager app to install the app with the
above file urls. Looking at the server.xml after
installation actually shows the application with
settings as above.
If Tomcat restarts, however, the app needs to be
re-installed.

Where do you specify the application.xml file so the datasources are
configured automatically?
