Dear All, I'm using Orion 0.7.5b and I've been trying to add a new application to the default web site. Here's the relevant parts of my directory structure: D:\orion\config D:\orion\default-site D:\orion\default-site\beans D:\orion\default-site\html D:\orion\default-site\servlets D:\orion\newbie-stuff <--- contains exact copies of default site's web-application.xml and principals.xml D:\orion\newbie-stuff\beans D:\orion\newbie-stuff\html <--- contains my application's index.html D:\orion\newbie-stuff\servlets <--- contains SnoopServlet.class D:\orion\servlets I really want all the files that constitute my "Newbie Demo" web application ( i.e. html, jsp, beans, servlets ) to be totally separated from the \default-site directory structure, but I still need the application to be part of the default web site. To achieve this I've created a \newbie-stuff directory and the supporting sub-directory structure, but I'm having real trouble adjusting the relative path tags. With Magnus' help I've managed to add the "Newbie Demo" web application to the default web site by adding the following line to D:\orion\default-site\web-site.xml: <web-app root="/newbie">../newbie-stuff/web-application.xml</web-app> It seems that the path in the above <web-app> line is relative to the location of the web-site.xml that its contained within ( i.e. D:\orion\default-site\ ). Without changing any other xml files this has enabled me to successfully request my index.html file ( located in D:\orion\newbie-stuff\html\ ) by using http://localhost/newbie/ ( ........... hooray ) This is a major step in the right direction, but I'm now having trouble invoking servlets that reside in D:\orion\newbie-stuff\servlets. I was hoping that typing http://localhost/newbie/servlet/SnoopServlet would invoke D:\orion\newbie-stuff\servlets\SnoopServlet.class, but it doesn't ( ......... booooooo ) Within the /newbie-stuff/web-application.xml referenced above there are a number of additional relative paths as shown: <!-- Classpaths used by servlets and beans --> <classpath>./servlets</classpath> <classpath>./beans</classpath> <!-- Document root, root for the documents for this site --> <document-root>./html</document-root> <!-- Principals local to this application --> <principals>./principals.xml</principals> My question is which directory are these paths relative to ? Are they relative to : (a) the directory containing the web-application.xml file ( i.e. D:\orion\newbie-stuff\ ) (b) the directory containing the web-site.xml file for the default web site ( i.e. D:\orion\default-site\ ) (c) the <document-root> directory specified in the web-application.xml file ( i.e. D:\orion\newbie-stuff\html\ ) (d) some other directory I've not considered I've tried a number of relative path combinations, but I just can't get my set up to work as I want it to. Any help with relative paths gratefully accepted.
