> I've been working with OpenEJB, Tomcat 5.5 and WTP for some time and I have a problem regarding the OpenEJB deployment in Tomcat.
> By default, OpenEJB is installed into Tomcat itself and everything works fine.
> With WTP, we have the possibility to let the Tomcat installation unchanged and define a Context that points to our web application. (The context is defined in the server.xml configuration file). Doing that allows us to put our web application wherever we want.
> Currently, defining OpenEJB as a context in Tomcat fails if OpenEJB is not in the Tomcat appBase directory : an exception is launched at startup :
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> 	at org.apache.openejb.tomcat.loader.OpenEJBListener.lifecycleEvent(OpenEJBListener.java:46)
> 	at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSupport.java:120)
> 	at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.initialize(StandardServer.java:757)
> 	at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.load(Catalina.java:504)
> 	at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.load(Catalina.java:524)
> 	at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
> 	at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39)
> 	at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)
> 	at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585)
> 	at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.load(Bootstrap.java:267)
> 	at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:432)
> By defining OpenEJB as a context, I mean adding something like that in the server.xml :
> <Context docBase="D:\tempWebApp\openejb-tomcat-webapp-3.1.0" path="" reloadable="false"/>
> It appears that OpenEJB looks up for the openejb web app in the appBase of Tomcat only. So defining the web app in a context does not work properly.
