Examining where Tomcat is serving files from
Hi, I'm trying to test a custom tag library and not quite getting there. I'm
using Tomcat to serve the files but when I navigate to where they should be,
I'm getting 404s for everything. I have a project in Eclipse called
MyTagLib, which Tomcat (integrated into Eclipse) is serving on port 8080,
and my Web content is in MyTagLib/web/content appropriately enough. I have
the following tag set in org.eclipse.wst.common.component:
<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/web/content"/>
So localhost:8080/blarg.html should serve MyTagLib/web/content/blarg.html,
but it doesn't. What I want to know is, if Tomcat isn't seeing these files,
how can I examine where it IS looking? Is there a way to set up a debugger
or something?
Oh, and by the way, I'm using the ancient Tomcat 4.1, but if anybody knows
anything about dealing with this in newer versions I'll make an effort to
translate. Thanks!

Fix the procedure and get rid of some of the moving parts. Replace the 4.1 Tomcat with a useful version, and don't run it under Eclipse (which likes to use its own configuration for Tomcat, hidden from view, ignoring yours). Best if you test with whatever servlet container you have in production, otherwise the usefulness of your testing is somewhat marginal. If that's not feasible, then at least use a supported level of Tomcat.

Unfortunately, everything is missing. Even flat HTML doesn't show up, and
I've tried just about every permutation of directory names I can think of.
It may be that Tomcat isn't even trying, or tries but sees nothing at all.
I'm using 4.1 even though it's embarrassingly old because it's part of the
testing procedure for this application. It's not used in production, so it
doesn't affect much - at least I don't think it does.

Is it your tag not being accessed, or files accessed from your tag, or
the whole webapp missing?
If it is just an issue of your tag not being able to find files as you
think they should,
Just create a File (new File("xxx")) within your tag and System.out the
absolute path of that file. That will
Tell you what the tag sees as your root!

You can do remote debugging of the JSP containing the tag.
>> Oh, and by the way, I'm using the ancient Tomcat 4.1
Why?
