Tomcat 6 Configuration with Contexts - Need Help?

[Dennis Harris <dh...@q5systems.com>]

I’m having some issues with configuring Tomcat 6. I’m moving from Tomcat 4.1 and in version 4 I had multiple contexts setup in the SERVER.XML file like so:

 

<Context path="/app1" docBase="app1" debug="0" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">

<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm" debug="99"

                        driverName="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"

                        connectionURL="jdbc:odbc:app1db"

                         connectionName="admin" 

                        connectionPassword="password" 

                        digest="SHA"

                         userTable="PPMUser" userNameCol="UserName" userCredCol="UserPassword"

                         userRoleTable="PPMUser" roleNameCol="RoleTomcat" />

</Context>

 

<Context path="/app2" docBase="app2" debug="0" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">

<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm" debug="99"

                        driverName="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"

                        connectionURL="jdbc:odbc:app2db"

                         connectionName="admin" 

                        connectionPassword="password" 

                        digest="SHA"

                         userTable="PPMUser" userNameCol="UserName" userCredCol="UserPassword"

                         userRoleTable="PPMUser" roleNameCol="RoleTomcat" />

</Context>

 

However, in version 6 this is not working correctly. I’ve read that for each environment I would need to have a CONTEXT.XML file – so nothing would go into the SERVER.XML file. Just wondering how do I go about configuring this? Do I add my configurations in the CONTEXT.XML file that’s in the conf directory?

 

Hope someone can shed some light on this. 

 

Thanks.

First, try reading the doc:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html

And no, you would not put your app-specific configuration in
conf/context.xml - that's global, shared by all webapps.  By the way,
the names are case sensitive, so capitalizing them won't work.
