FW: Re: Missing application web.xml Tomcat 5.5.7
Hi All.
I'm still having trouble with this issue. I'm not able to upload a .WAR
file through the html web application manager but the same war manually
exploded and placed into the /webapps directory works fine. I've included
the web.xml to see if anybody can determine why Tomcat's rejecting it. I've
Included the stdout log file. Some notes from the log4j tomcat debug file:
Line 91: Tomcat has found the context.xml and moved it to
$CatalinaRoot$\conf\Catalina\localhost\ROOT.xml
Line 537: org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext - Starting ROOT
Line 7542: org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig - Missing application
web.xml, using defaults only
Line 7744: org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig - Checking context[]
redeploy resource C:\SuperFly\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT
Line 7746: ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[Catalina]]
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext - Stopping
Line 7825: Delete C:\SuperFly\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT.war
Here's what I see when I deploy:
Click upload. Tomcat moves ROOT.war into $CatalinaRoot$\webapps\.
Context.xml, from inside the .war file seen in
$CatalinaRoot$\conf\localhost. Application appears in manager/html. A few
seconds later the application dissappears and all files are deleted.
The tomcat sample war file appears to be broken too :
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/appdev/sample/
I'm open to suggestions. More info below.
Thanks,
Joe

Subject: Re: Missing application web.xml
Hi!
I'm having problems with the "Missing application web.xml" error on dev
machines running Windows XP,. Tomcat 5.5.7, Java 5.0.
It happens when I try to deploy a war file by using the Manager app or by
placing it in the /webapps directory. Here are some of the things I've
done, each time trying to deploy the resulting WAR file with no success and
the same error:
1) Completely emptied the /webapps directory (per Paul's success below).
2) Verified existence of web.xml inside WAR file.
3) Uninstalled ROOT app and verified file removal from /webapps directory.
4) Checked order of elements in web.xml to fit spec.
5) Validated web.xml in Intellij Idea against
http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd
6) Changed <web-app> tag from the sample web.xml in documentation to the one
used in Manager app from 5.5.7 build:
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4">
7) Removed all comments and spaces from web.xml.
When I unpack the WAR manually and place the unpacked files in /webapps the
application works fine. Tomcat likes the web.xml, but it can't seem to find
it inside of the WAR file.
Incidentally, when I watch my /webapps directory during a Manager deploy,
the ROOT.war file does appear for a few seconds. It appears that Tomcat is
trying to find a web.xml inside of it, fails and then deletes the file.
I use Ant to build the WAR file:
<jar jarfile="ROOT.war">
<fileset dir="${files}" excludes="**/*.java"/>
</jar>
Any help appreciated. Seen this on two development XP machines today.
Best,
Joe Reger
---Original Message----------------------------------------------------
I just wanted to follow up and get into the record what I think is the
solution to the problem I asked about
on 1/20. I turns out that the reason I was getting "Missing
application web.xml" errors in my stdout.log
was because of a problem that arose during the undeployment
precipitated by my deployment of a new
build. It appears (just based on Tomcat's behavior) that when you move
a WAR file into the webapps directory, the first thing Tomcat tries to
do is delete the old unpacked version. In my case, it failed to do
that because (as I found) the servlet had open file handles to files
inside the servlet's context directory. Windows XP doesn't let you
delete files that it thinks are "in use", and I suspect that is the
trouble Tomcat was running into. Anyway, it deleted everything except
those files, including the web.xml file, which it then reported as
missing.
When I modified my code to make sure the files were closed after being
read, the problem went away. Well, I haven't had the fix in place long
enough to be sure it has gone away, but at the very least it certainly
seems to have helped a great deal, so I think the problem is solved.

Posted by "Joe Reger, Jr." <jo...@joereger.com>.
Hi,
Sorry for the confusion on the variable name. I undeploy the ROOT context
that comes stock with Tomcat. I don't believe that this is a conflict with
another app being installed at the same context name. Before each attempt
to upload the ROOT.war file I manually shut down Tomcat and delete any
/ROOT, ROOT.war and $CATALINA_HOME\conf\Catalina\localhost\ROOT.xml files so
that the instance is clean.
When I do the upload, Tomcat successfully moves ROOT.war to
$CATALINA_HOME\webapps\ (I watch the directory manually). In the manager
web interfact it says that the app is successfully installed and it lists a
root context. But then, upon refreshing a few seconds later the app has
been undeployed and the "Missing application web.xml" error appears in
stdout.
I can shutdown tomcat, clean all ROOT context references, manually explode
the war file to $CATALINA_HOME\webapps\ROOT\, restart Tomcat and the app
works perfectly. It seemed initially like Tomcat was having trouble
extracting the war file but there was something I saw in the detailed log4j
debugs or on the file system that made me believe that it was successfully
able to get into the war, it just didn't like what it saw. I forget what I
saw, but I believe that it was successfully reading in custom variables from
my context.xml, inside of the war file.
Thanks for the help,
Joe

Hi,
Using $CATALINA_HOME and or $CATALINA_BASE is the more proper way to
describe those directory references.
No I am not having trouble with web.xml file when
deploying a WAR file. I'm trying to assist you
troubleshoot.
Are you trying to deploy an additional ROOT.war?
There is an existing ROOT context that came as stock installed and this will
most likely conflict with the new one with same name you are trying to
deploy. So either remove the existing one or rename your ROOT.war to
another name.

Hi,
Using $CATALINA_HOME and or $CATALINA_BASE is the
more proper way to describe those directory
references.
No I am not having trouble with web.xml file when
deploying a WAR file. I'm trying to assist you

Are you trying to deploy an additional ROOT.war?
There is an existing ROOT context that came as stock
installed and this will most likely conflict with the
new one with same name you are trying to deploy. So
either remove the existing one or rename your ROOT.war
to another name.

I'm just using that to represent the root tomcat installation directory.
For me it's C:\Superfly\Tomcat 5.5\. For you it may be different.
Are you having any trouble with the web.xml file when deployinga WAR through
