compiling files in the classes directory
Hello,
Sorry if this is a really dumb question.
Do java files in WEB-INF/classes automatically get compiled?
I just presumed they would because that's the default behavior of resin,
however I've created a java file and it doesn't appear to be doing so.
If it doesn't is there anyway of getting Tomcat to do that? - or do I
have to stop being lazy and compile myself?
Thanks in advance,
Richard

Re: Servlet's loading twice on start-up--DRIVING ME NUTS!
Posted by Jeff Wishnie <je...@deluxebiz.com>.
This is the solution I ended up using--but shouldn't setting <host autoDeploy="false"> keep Tomcat from creating a context for
web-apps in the AppBase?
Is this a bug in 4.1.7 that autoDeploy="false" seems not to effect this behavior?
Thanks,
Jeff

RE: Servlet's loading twice on start-up--DRIVING ME NUTS!
Posted by Peter Lin <tc...@yahoo.com>.
yeah that is the solution. I had written a document
describing this issue and how to correctly configure
server.xml. it was submitted to tomcat-dev, with a
proposal subject, but the developers were to busy.
This kind of documentation really should be included
with Tomcat and a more descriptive comment should also
be included in server.xml itself.
In a perfect world, the developers would have time to
both code and document, but until they have to sleep
too.
I am willing to revise the documentation and clean it
up, if the developers decide including this kind of
documentation is important enough.

I've seen this happen in our environment too. The explanation seems to
be that the ROOT context and our specified contexts both point to a
directory with a WEB-INF so the web.xml is indeed started up twice.
I simply added a line to server.xml to point the root context at
something innocuous - like the src path:
<Context path="" docBase="D:\somewhere\without\a\servlet\src"
debug="0" />
<Context path="/my/funkyapp" docBase="D:\real\servlet\root\path\"
debug="0" />
Works for me. ;-)

How to Configure Contexts? STILL DRIVING ME NUTS!
Posted by Jeff Wishnie <je...@deluxebiz.com>.
Hi All,
Thank you for the responses I received.
>From the responses it's clear to me that I do _not_ understand the mechanism
of how contexts are specified and generated. I've read through the Tomcat
documentation, and gone through the email-list-archives, and am still
confused.
Can someone explain? Once I do understand, I'd be happy to clean it up and
turn it into a FAQ.
Here is what I _think_ I understand:
1. The server.xml file can contain any number of <context> directives
2. It also _must_ contain a context with path="" as the default context
3. In addition, any web-apps that appear in the <Host> directives appBase
will have a context generated for them
Here is what I _don't_ understand:
Q1. Why can't I declare a <Context> with a path (e.g. "/foo") and also use
this app as my default context WITHOUT having it LOADED TWICE? It seems that
if I have two <Context> entries--one with path="/foo" to handle the
"myserver/foo" requests, and another to set it as the default, the App gets
loaded twice.
Q2. What happens when I put an explicit Context entry in server.xml for an
application that sits in my hosts appBase? I do this to explicitly set
parameters like 'path'.
I would expect the explicit Context entry in server.xml to superseed any
generated context, but again, the app seems to get loaded twice.
Q3. In the Tomcat documentation for the <Host> directive, it's mentioned
that you can use .xml files to explicity create Contexts outside of
server.xml. But it isn't clear on where you put these. I quote: "Any XML
file in this directory is assumed to contain a Context element " Ok, but
what is THIS directory? AppBase? Web-application directory? WEB-INF in a
Webapp??
Here is a link to the unclear docs:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/host.html#Automatic%2
0Application%20Deployment
Q4. How do these 4 kinds of Context specifications interact:
- server.xml entries
- server.xml default context (not the <defalutContext> directive, the
<context path=""> directive)
- separate context .xml files
- auto-generated contexts for web-apps in the AppBase directory
Specifically how can I:
- Explicitly specify context parameters
- Satisfy the requirement that there be a default context (path="")
- NOT have my app loaded multiple times
????
Thanks in advance for all your help. As you can tell, I'm getting pretty
frustrated!

RE: Servlet's loading twice on start-up--DRIVING ME NUTS!
Posted by Michael Petres <mp...@rogers.com>.
Tomcat will (upon startup) scan the appBase="..." directory (default is
'webapps') by default and will load any web applications located there. In
addition if you have a context defined, it will also load the app again!
Try placing your web application some other place but 'webapps' and make
sure you specify the absolute path in the docBase of your context tag.
