Want to run servlets from other directory than webapps
Hi
I've got Tomcat-5.0.27-r5 installed. Running servlets
(localhost) located in
/opt/tomcat5/webapps/ROOT/WEB_INF/classes is no
problem.
What do I need to do to run servlets from my user
directory (e.g. /home/user/myapp)?
I've tried to use http://localhost:8080/admin to add
an additional context, setting path and docbase to
/home/user/myapp, but this doesn't work.
I've also tried to change appbase to /home/user/myapp
in conf/server.xml, but again no success.
I've uncommented the 'invoker' lines in conf/web.xml -
for the moment anyway:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.apache.catalina.servlets.InvokerServlet
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>0</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
How do you configure Tomcat? Do you use the admin tool
or do you do it manually? The admin tool works strange
e.g. after deleting some context it was still in the
list.
Thanks!
Regards, Rudi

I'm running Tomcat as standalone server at the moment
- that could change later on.
What's the preferred way in Tomcat 5?
Thanks!

Yoo,
Do you use tomcat stand-alone? Or with Apache....
Putting a context in server.xml should work, but this is not the
prevered way in tomcat 5!
Greetings O.

Re: Want to run servlets from other directory than webapps

Hi Rudi,
Here's how I do it, and this also seems to be the 'correct' way of
doing it with Tomcat5 (as it doesn't mean messing with any
container-level files).
Into {tomcathome}\conf\Catalina\localhost\ I place a correctly formed
context file, for example ApplicationName.xml (very minimal for
demonstration purposes... you could, of course, make it do whatever a
normal context file would).
-------- ApplicationName.xml -----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/ApplicationName" docBase="C:/share/ApplicationCode/"
debug="1" reloadable="true">
</Context>
------- End ApplicationName.xml ----
The C:/share/ApplicationCode/ directory would contain the JSPs, the
META-INF dir, the WEB-INF dir, etc. Restart your tomcat Server and
away you go. You can even use the admin utility to tweak it.
Cheers,
PST
