Path element in context.xml
Hi,
I had posted this question earlier on the users mailing list and got no
response, so I am going to try and re-post it again and also post it on the
dev mailing list.
I have recently upgrade from tomcat 5.0.28 to 5.5.20 and everything seems to
be working fine for most of my apps except for the ones that have context
with multi-level path. Also I should mention that I am not unpacking any of
my war files. (unpackWARs="false" autoDeploy="true")
I deployed my app - foo.war which had the following context in
foo.war/meta-inf/context.xml
<Context path="/some/foo" docBase="foo.war" debug="0" privileged="true"
reloadable="true"/>
In the Tomcat Manager Application List, I only see the path /foo and also in
the <TOMCAT_CONF>/Catalina/hostname there is a file called foo.xml. If I try
to hit the url < <http://localhost:8080/some/foo>
http://localhost:8080/some/foo> <http://localhost:8080/some/foo>
http://localhost:8080/some/foo - it doesn't work.
I did some reach on this issue and found a similar issue in bugzilla ( <
<http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38198>
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38198>
<http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38198>
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38198) that mentioned that
the path element is no longer being used and it mentions that I should
rename the context.xml file to contain the path. According to Bug#:38198 in
bugzilla - the fix is to rename the foo.xml file to be some#foo.xml and
remove the path. So I renamed the file in
<TOMCAT_CONF>/Catalina/hostname/foo.xml to
<TOMCAT_CONF>/Catalina/hostname/some#foo.xml and it now contains the
following:
<Context docBase="foo.war" debug="0" privileged="true" reloadable="true"/>
When I do this and start up tomcat, I get the following error:
SEVERE: Error starting static Resources

I also tried changing the docBase to be the absolute path of the war file:

<Context docBase="C:\www\tomcat_5.5.20\webapps\foo.war" debug="0"
privileged="true" reloadable="true"/>
But I get the same result as above.
Could someone please tell me how they are able to get this to work with 5.5
- what changes do I need to make so that when I deploy my war - foo.war, it
show up in the Tomcat Manager Application List with path /some/foo
Thanks for your help
Ajay.

Re: Path element in context.xml
Posted by Andre Prasetya <an...@gmail.com>.
This question being asked many times by many people.
Context path="xxx" is not supposed to be used unless you mention it at
server.xml but its strongly discouraged.CMIIW
so far i only use the war name as its deploy path like foo.war will map to
localhost:8080/foo/<servlet mapping>

There is, as Chris explains:

I've done some more research but didn't find a way to deploy a WAR file so
that the application is accessible via a multi-level context path.
Is there a way to achieve this?

I'm wrong. Although I seemed to remember that I once did it that way, trying
to do it failed for me on 5.5.20 too (should have tried *before* answering).
So, if I didn't overlook something very obvious, your Bugzilla report propably
isn't invalid either.

The dev list is no place for user specific questions. Don't post this there.

First, read
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
and notice that the "path" attribute of <Context> must not be set (with one
exception which is irrelevant here). Atm, it's value is silently ignored.
I don't see the description how multi-level context paths can be achieved in
the 5.5 docs. But the following snippet from the 6.0 docs also applies to
5.5:
"Multi-level context paths may be defined using #, e.g. context#path.xml."
So, name your WAR file "some#foo.war".
