Re: Shindig as non root app with tomcat
That file is contained inside the shindig-common jar file.
You can override the default shindig.properties file by putting an edited
version of the shindig.properties file in Tomcat's classpath. An easy way
to do this is to put the shindig.properties file in
$CATALINA_HOME/lib/shindig.properties
Given time I'd expect shindig to properly use getContextPath() to determine
the directory of the deployed war file. That's a servlet 2.5 feature
though and we're stuck on 2.4 so far. If anyone has suggestions on how this
might work better I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!

You might need to tweak the container configuration file as well. This
mostly provides configuration for javascript libraries and things that you
might want configured differently for different environments (like dev vs.
prod). The todo gadget does dynamic url rewriting, which is probably causing
it to grab the proxy url from the js configuration.

Re: Shindig as non root app with tomcat

Thanks for the reply!
I overriden the shindig.properties file as you instructed (by putting it in
/usr/share/tomcat6/lib/ and changing the line
"shindig.content-rewrite.concat-url=/gadgets/concat" to
"#shindig.content-rewrite.concat-url=/shindig/gadgets/concat", being shindig
the name of the app in the tomcat).
However i still can't get the todo gadget to work, watching the logs i
noticed these two lines:
GRAVE: HTTP Error 404 fetching service methods from endpoint
http://localhost:8080/social/rpc
GRAVE: HTTP Error 404 fetching service methods from endpoint
http://localhost:8080/gadgets/api/rpc
i dont know what else i can change in the shindig.properties file, could it
be something else?
Thanks for everything, sincerely
Rafael
PD: In order the try to get to run the todo gadget i use the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/shindig/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml

Re: Shindig as non root app with tomcat

Thanks for the reply!
I overriden the shindig.properties file as you instructed (by putting it in
/usr/share/tomcat6/lib/ and changing the line
"shindig.content-rewrite.concat-url=/gadgets/concat" to
"#shindig.content-rewrite.concat-url=/shindig/gadgets/concat", being shindig
the name of the app in the tomcat).
However i still can't get the todo gadget to work, watching the logs i
noticed these two lines:
GRAVE: HTTP Error 404 fetching service methods from endpoint
http://localhost:8080/social/rpc
GRAVE: HTTP Error 404 fetching service methods from endpoint
http://localhost:8080/gadgets/api/rpc
i dont know what else i can change in the shindig.properties file, could it
be something else?
Thanks for everything, sincerely
Rafael
PD: In order the try to get to run the todo gadget i use the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/shindig/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml
