context.xml not being read
Hello,
I am not able to read the environment variable from the server.xml - those
are also referenced in the META-INF/context.xml.
I am using tomcat version 6.0.29. The tomcat is deployed on the OS Linux
I am deploying my source code in some folder called
/data2/www/xyz/htdocs/approot. I have pointed the server.xml to read from
/data2/www/xyz/htdocs/approot as follows:
<Host name="xyz.company.com">
<Context path="/" docBase="/data2/www/xyz/htdocs/approot"
reloadable="true" debug="0" override="true" />
</Host>
Under the "approot" folder I have the WEB-INF and the META-INF folder. And
under the META-INF folder I have the context.xml.
The server.xml has one environment variable as follows:
<Environment name="serverURLPrefix" override="false"
type="java.lang.String" value="http://xyz.company.com"/>
And in the context.xml the same variable is referenced as
<Context path="/" reloadable="true" debug="0" override="true">
<ResourceLink global="serverURLPrefix" name="serverURLPrefix"
type="java.lang.String"/>
</Context>
Can please help me in understanding as to why the tomcat is not able to
read the property "serverURLPrefix"?
Thanks
Raj

And the OP chose to define it incorrectly; path="/" is never correct.

No, the answer of my question is exactly detailed in the doc.
I just indicates that the context.xml is read actually, but some
attributes in /META-INF/context.xml is overrided

This is the question i've asked before
in org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployWAR(ContextName, File,
String)
i found some code like these
context.setName(cn.getName());
context.setPath(cn.getPath());
context.setWebappVersion(cn.getVersion());
context.setDocBase(file);
...
name and path attribute are override with the war name
*So these attribute are not work. *

Hi Chuck,
Once again appreciate your response.
What I did was I created a WAR file and dropped it under the tomcat
webapps folder and started it. This helped in overcoming my problem.
This process created conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml and copied all the
property from my local META-INF/context.xml into the new [appName].xml.
This helped the tomcat in reading all the environment variables.
Thank you everyone who replied to my mail. Please keep up the good work.
Thanks
Raj

Having a <Context> element in server.xml is strongly discouraged these
days. Better to keep it in META-INF/context.xml of the webapp, or in
conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml. Regardless, you must have it in only
one place; having it in multiple places means the behavior is undefined.
Note that if you want to define the default webapp, it should be named
ROOT (case sensitive). You must not use path attribute when the <Context>
element is in META-INF/context.xml or in
conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml. Read the docs on the <Context>
element for more details.

Having a <Context> element in server.xml is strongly discouraged these days. Better to keep it in META-INF/context.xml of the webapp, or in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml. Regardless, you must have it in only one place; having it in multiple places means the behavior is undefined.
Note that if you want to define the default webapp, it should be named ROOT (case sensitive). You must not use path attribute when the <Context> element is in META-INF/context.xml or in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml. Read the docs on the <Context> element for more details.

Thank you for replying.
If the context.xml file is being ignored then why the variable that I have
defined in the server.xml is not being read? Should I delete the
META-INF/context.xml file completely?

This behaviour is by design. The <Context> element can be defined only
once.
You choose to define it in server.xml and thus context.xml file is
ignored.
