RE: Deployment [Newbie]
:-) lol :-) Well this horse was floating long before he went home yesterday :-) Full web-app deployment going no problem. The best way to learn web dev is from the web with mailing lists, forums, tutorials and articles. Books are for reference, learning by example is a much quicker way :-) Just my opinion :-) G. -Original Message- From: Micael Padraig Og mac Grene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 27 March 2002 5:29 p.m. To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Deployment [Newbie] You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it float on its back.

RE: Deployment [Newbie]
Hi :-) Firstly you need to add the following entry to the TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml file, setting the values for the path and docBase to the name of your web application. Context path=/groupa docBase=groupa debug=0 reloadable=true / That's the first step and then you'll be able to copy html files into the groupa folder. Your default web.xml file will look like: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? !DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd; web-app /web-app And then for each servlet you'll need to add: servlet servlet-nameExampleServlet/servlet-name servlet-classpackagename.ExampleServlet/servlet-class init-param param-nameparameter/param-name param-valuevalue/param-value /init-param load-on-startup1/load-on-startup /servlet and copy the servlet class into the /WEB-INF/classes folder. This should get you started (without needing a long book - although they can be very exciting reading :-)) :-) Lol :-) G. -Original Message- From: Lawrence, Gareth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 27 March 2002 3:02 p.m. To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Deployment [Newbie] Greetings All, Got tomcat going well on linux, but deployment is giving me a headache :-(( I'm looking at the documentation and the example web.xml file and I'm not sure what I need to do to set up a webapp ???

RE: Deployment [Newbie]
btw: It isn't necessary to add all servlets to the web.xml file; it's only necessary when the servlet requires additional information, such as initialization parameters. So in most cases you wont need to worry about this :-)) -Original Message- From: Lawrence, Gareth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 27 March 2002 3:50 p.m. To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Deployment [Newbie] Hi :-) Firstly you need to add the following entry to the TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml file, setting the values for the path and docBase to the name of your web application.

Re: Deployment [Newbie]
Got tomcat going well on linux, but deployment is giving me a headache :-((
I'm looking at the documentation and the example web.xml file and I'm not
sure what I need to do to set up a webapp ???
I've got my folder in webapps: groupa
Directory Structure:
groupa
WEB-INF
classes
lib
classes and lib should be under WEB-INF.
So I think its the web.xml file I'm not sure on :-( I'm looking at the
example one and it isn't helping
I see the servelet configuration stuff:
servlet
servlet-namegraph/servlet-name
description
/description
/servlet
You lack servlet-class tags, so Tomcat would know which class to use to instantiate
this servlet.
servlet-mapping
servlet-namegraph/servlet-name
url-pattern/graph/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
So, URL: ${URL_BASE}/graph will invoke graph servlet - OK. URL_BASE depends on
your webapp deployment path (defined in server.xml as Context).
But do I really need to specify each servlet in the web.xml?
Yes, each servlet has to be declared separately.
What do I need
to do to make the folder accessible (like examples :-))? Or can you direct
me to a good tutorial on deployment.
Folder? You mean webapp? Well, in Tomcat's nomenclature, each webapp is called
Context and is defined with Context ... tag(s), within a virtual host (Host ...
tag). This is in server.xml
Nix.
