[OT] JBoss/Tomcat & default context
Hi. I need to test my foo.war file using the default context in JBoss
3.2.4/Tomcat 5. So right now I am unpacking the war and placing all the
contents inside /deploy/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/ROOT.war/, in place of the
default JBoss web app contents.
Is there an easier way?
Erik

OK, just to complete the post, I'll tell you about the problem I
encountered. Now, I have decided that I don't think there's anything
wrong with the jboss-web.xml example I originally posted.
When you deploy web apps in JBoss/Tomcat, jboss uses a couple of
"working" directories inside server/MY_SERVER.
One of them is called "work" and one of them is called "tmp".
I have noticed that, especially on Windows 2000, sometimes stuff is not
getting properly deleted from one or both of these directories. When
that happens, stuff can get screwed up. ;) It seems to be the equivalent
of you fixing something, but your changes not "taking" -- and I'm sure
you know what a nightmare that can be.
Could be a file permission thing, as I suggested earlier in another post
in response to problems someone else was having with deploying on
WebLogic. I haven't had time to learn about Windows 2000 security (gee,
can't wait) and file management.
I ended up having problems with the virtual host setup on my unix box,
though it might just be a mozilla problem or misconfiguration. So I
changed my jboss-web.xml to simply this:
<jboss-web>
<context-root>/</context-root>
</jboss-web>
That should be the equivalent of replacing the "default" web app (which
I removed from jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/ROOT.war to make sure there weren't
further conflicts), but I'm not 100% positive. So that's what I should
have posted as the original jboss-web xml. Didn't mean to throw the
whole virtual-host thing in there when it's not necessary.
Hope you are having better luck than me!

James, sorry, but this file ended up causing problems. Obviously there
is more to configuring a virtual host than this, but I haven't had time
to research it yet.
I'll repost as I tackle that.

No, but I was overlooking something simple (virtual host setup) to do
the equivalent, in jboss-web.xml:
<jboss-web>
<context-root>/</context-root>
<virtual-host>foo</virtual-host>
</jboss-web>
Which would allow you to access your web app using:
http://foo:8080/
with no context name.
Hope that helps,
Erik

The main thing I want to get around is having to restart the server, if
that's possible.
Thanks,
