Manager deployment for ROOT.war not working properly.

[Keith Bottner <ke...@bottner.net>]

I am documentation and Googled out. I am attempting to use the Tomcat
Manager so that I can script deployment to a Farm of servers. I soon found
out that deploying a ROOT web application does not work.
 
# curl -u manager:passsword -T /home/manager/ROOT.war
http://10.0.0.2/manager/deploy?path=/
 
It always deploys the application as /ROOT.war
 
Now this works perfectly if I do it from http://10.0.0.2/manager/html and
use the Web interface to upload the ROOT.war. It deploys to / with no
problems. But if I use the non HTML version it will not deploy to /
properly.
 
FYI
- I use this same technique on NON root based web applications with no
problems, works like a charm.
- The context.xml file in the WAR file is correct.
- Yes I tried renaming the file to .war as a hack to get around the problem
and that did not work, it deployed to .war.war
- Yes I tried leaving the path attribute as blank (like part of the
documentation suggests) and it returns an error "FAIL - Invalid context path
was specified" even though the documentation explicitly says to leave it
blank when deploying the root web application.
 
I do believe that this is a legitimate bug but I need some way to workaround
the issue since I can't wait to solve this until the next version of Tomcat
is released.
 
Thanks in advance for your help,
 
Keith

You can use curl to simulate the submission of manager upload form. See
curl -D (--form) for details on how to POST multipart form (mandatory
for uploads), and go to manager html source file to see what are form datas.

untested suggestion:
curl -u manager:passsword -F "file=@/home/manager/ROOT.war"
http://10.0.0.2/manager/html/upload

It is worth entering this in Bugzilla, along with any work-around, so
it gets looked at.
