Deploying .war-file in Tomcat 5.5
Dear users,
I have installed Tomcat with apt-get install tomcat5.5 tomcat5.5-admin
tomcat5.5-webapps
The default webapps-deirectoy is now:
/usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT/
Tomcat is running and I copy a .war file in
/usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT/
But how is this .war-file unpacked/deployed?
I restarted Tomcat already with /etc/init.d/tomcat restart
but don't get the filestructure of that war-file?

Yes. So that is the directory for the default (ROOT) webapp. The directory for webapps is its parent directory.

It won't be. Copy/move it to /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps instead.

That's not surprising. Put it in the right directory and try again.

Ah - thanks, Marcus. Debian's rather odd symlinking policy strikes again!

You need to include the name of your webapp in the URL; the webapp name is the name of your .war file.

That's because you just made your webapp an extension of Tomcat's default webapp - probably not a good thing to do. If you want your webapp to be the default, delete Tomcat's default (/usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT), rename your .war file to ROOT.war, and place it in /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT. You will also want to clean out Tomcat's work directory; I have no idea where the dismal Debian repackaging of Tomcat would have put that.
> And what is the difference between tomcat 5.5 and tomcat5.5-webapps?
The Debian repackaging of Tomcat is a mess - files are scattered all over, and then symlinked back together to try to get things to run. There's no end of issues with that scheme, which is why many of us recommend throwing away that junk and installing a real Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org.

Thank you all very much for your help.
I did now like:
$ wget
'http://apache.crihan.fr/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.20/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.20.tar.gz'
$ tar xvzf apache-tomcat-6.0.20.tar.gz
$ cp MapFishPrintModule/print-servlet/target/print-servlet-1.1.war
apache-tomcat-6.0.20/webapps
$ cd apache-tomcat-6.0.20/bin
$ ./startup.sh
....and all the problems are gone :-)
Best regards, Kai

Your "don't ask me where" and "wtf" comments seem to conflict with your "looks quite sane to me" statement...
The Debian file scattering approach makes it extremely difficult for anyone not running that Debian level and that specific Debian repackaged version of Tomcat to provide anything other than general advice. When the repackagers start to muck around in server.xml changing defaults (some of them do), it gets even worse.
Ergo, if you want advice from the Tomcat users mailing list, it's best to use a standard Tomcat; otherwise, you will likely need help from a platform-specific forum.

So, the webapps directory is really /var/lig/tomcat5.5/webapps. You were
trying /usr/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps before, which is why it didn't work.

See Chuck's response: you aren't using the right URL. Give us some
specifics (like the name of the WAR file and the url mapping for the
servlet you're trying to invoke) and we'll try to help you make contact.

That's because you're re-naming your own webapp to ROOT, essentially.

No.

tomcat5.5-webapps just includes the sample webapps that come with
Tomcat, probably including the default ROOT webapp.
I disagree with Chuck's complaint about this packaging: it actually
looks quite sane to me: system-installed stuff goes into
/usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps and probably has XML context files in an
appropriate location (don't ask me where!) to load those.
/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps is the auto-deploy directory that mere
mortals get to use (though usually /var is read-only for non-root users,
so... wtf?).

Hi Marcus,
>On Debian you should put it in /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps.
Thank you very much.
When I just did "apt-get install tomcat 5.5" and I copied the .war file then
to /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps
it`s unpacked without any problems. But if I call then
http://www.mysite.de:8180/my_servlet I don`t see anything in the browser??
That`s the thing I don`t get (well, I`m really a Tomcat newbie).
But if I copy the unpacked-sources from
/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/my_servlet
to /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT/ I get a result by doing
http://www.mysite.de:8180/my_servlet
Why might this be?
Do I need "apt-get install tomcat5.5-webapps" to see a result in the
browser?
And what is the difference between tomcat 5.5 and tomcat5.5-webapps?
Best regards, Kai

On Debian you should put it in /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps.
(And if you run Debian squeeze you can install the tomcat6 package.)
