Tomcat question: webapp can't serve anything but jsp-files

[Nikolaus Rumm <ni...@mail.kephera.com>]

Hello,

I have some problems using normal html-pages in my webapp.
If I put the same file into the struts-examples webapp and in my own webapp (which has not problems finding my jsp-files), I can't access the file from my webapp when using the application context that I use for my jsps (404 file not found), but I can access it from the struts examples.
It must be some configuration problem.

Any ideas ?

The problem was that the doc-base has not been defined using an absolute path:

not working:
<Context path="/dolores" docBase="../Dolores/webapps/dolores" debug="1" reloadable="true" > 
</Context>

working:
<Context path="/dolores" docBase="H:/Programme/IBM/VAJ/ide/project_resources/Dolores/webapps/dolores" debug="1" reloadable="true" > 
</Context>

Environment: Windows 2000, Tomcat running under the Apache Tomcat Test Environment in VAJ 3.5
