Thanks, Chuck and Mark, for your quick responses to my questions. I imagine this comes up often. It'd be nice if Tomcat would throw a warning when it knows these rules are being violated.

You may have already figured this out, but just in case: 1) The path attribute of a element may only be used when the element is nested inside a element in server.xml - which is strongly discouraged. 2) The docBase attribute of a element may only be used when a) the webapp is located outside of the appBase directory, *and* b) when the element is in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml or is in server.xml (again, the latter is strongly discouraged). Results are not predictable for any other usage of those attributes. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Re: Problem with respecting docBase in context file in TC 6.0.20?
I also tried renaming /usr/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/t.xml to /usr/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/a.xml and now no exception is thrown, and I see via tomcat manager that context /a is created, but whenever I try to access any pages under /t I get error 404. --- On Wed, 8/19/09, Roger Powers wrote: > From: Roger Powers > Subject: Problem with respecting docBase in context file in TC 6.0.20? > To: users@tomcat.apache.org > Date: Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 3:19 PM > Problem: > > 1) /usr/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/t.xml has: > > > 2) /usr/tomcat/webapps/a exists. > > 3) /usr/tomcat/webapps/t does not exist. > > 4) When tomcat starts, > org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext:resourcesStart() > throws > java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base > /usr/tomcat/webapps/t does not exist or is not a readable > directory > > Since I never gave it a docBase of /usr/tomcat/webapps/t, I > presume > the problem is that it expects one due to the presense of > /usr/tomcat/conf/catalina/localhost/t.xml ? > > How can I get it to not make such a presumption, and look > at the docBase > in the t.xml file? > > > > > - > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org > > - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
Problem with respecting docBase in context file in TC 6.0.20?
Problem: 1) /usr/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/t.xml has: 2) /usr/tomcat/webapps/a exists. 3) /usr/tomcat/webapps/t does not exist. 4) When tomcat starts, org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext:resourcesStart() throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base /usr/tomcat/webapps/t does not exist or is not a readable directory Since I never gave it a docBase of /usr/tomcat/webapps/t, I presume the problem is that it expects one due to the presense of /usr/tomcat/conf/catalina/localhost/t.xml ? How can I get it to not make such a presumption, and look at the docBase in the t.xml file? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
