RE: WAR Problem
Hi, Let's say your Application is named as Test. try this. 1. Let the default web.xml be there. 2. Go to %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\Test 3. jar -cvf Test.war 4. place Test.jar in %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps 3. Remove %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\Test directory. Note no entry in sever.xml is needed. If you have a mapping for Test, make sure you remove it. in server.xml, you can specify unpackWARs=true to see the unpacked folder. If you make war file from %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps, you can see your directory structure, as %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\Test\Test instead of %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\Test.

Re: WAR Problem
Check out the unpackWARs attribute on the Host ... element. Set it to true. However, this is the default setting. I'm assuming you are using a customized server.xml, right?

Re: WAR Problem - No Go
Hi Eric, I'm not sure what has happened. I see two things in error.log that you posted: 1. tomcat tries to remove the child while shutting down, and gets an error that the context /apress has not been started yet. 2. while starting up, tomcat again tries to bring up the context /apress but encounters an error while trying to configure resources, and does not load the context. Also, you mentioned you have that context mentioned in the server.xml - i don't think you need to do that. maybe, while starting up, tomcat sees that context in server.xml and tries to load it and finds nothing and fails. when it next finds the apress.war maybe it doesn't load it since it assumes that a context with the same name had to failed to start. could you try cleaning up your work folders, removing the entry from the server.xml about the context apress and try again? ~manav. - Original Message - From: eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2003 1:45 AM Subject: Re: WAR Problem - No Go Mark, Tried that and it still didn't work.

Re: WAR Problem - That was it
Well, AFAIK, each directory in the webapps folder is treated as a context, and tomcat searches for web.xml inside the WEB-INF folder (if not found it uses the default web.xml - i'd like the experts to interject, if i am mistaken). so, the assumption of your program running without a context is not valid - there is indeed a context created for your application. You need to create a context specifically in server.xml if you want some default initializations to happen - configuration of datasources for example, prior to the context loading. most applications, while being deployed, do not need an explicit context (again, i suggest you also read up the opinion of other experts on the list - i'm not that good at tomcat, yet). ~manav. - Original Message - From: eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2003 6:49 AM Subject: Re: WAR Problem - That was it Manav, Your suggestion did the trick.

Also, you mentioned you have that context mentioned in the server.xml - i don't think you need to do that. maybe, while starting up, tomcat sees that context in server.xml and tries to load it and finds nothing and fails. when it next finds the apress.war maybe it doesn't load it since it assumes that a context with the same name had to failed to start. could you try cleaning up your work folders, removing the entry from the server.xml about the context apress and try again? ~manav. - Original Message - From: eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2003 1:45 AM Subject: Re: WAR Problem - No Go Mark, Tried that and it still didn't work. Here's the output of the error log. Perhaps I need to disable the context /apress in server.xml? Doesn't make much sense though. 2003-01-19 10:39:46 StandardHost[localhost]: Removing web application at context path /admin 2003-01-19 10:39:46 StandardHost[localhost]: Removing web application at context path /webdav 2003-01-19 10:39:46 StandardHost[localhost]: Removing web application at context path /apress 2003-01-19 10:39:46 StandardHost[localhost]: ContainerBase.removeChild: stop: LifecycleException: Container StandardContext[/apress] has not been started at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.stop(StandardContext.java:3643) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.removeChild(ContainerBase.java:1036) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer.remove(StandardHostDeployer.j a va:420) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.remove(StandardHost.java:852) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.undeployApps(HostConfig.java:919) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.stop(HostConfig.java:899) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.lifecycleEvent(HostConfig.java:370) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSuppo r t.java:166) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.stop(ContainerBase.java:1221) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.stop(ContainerBase.java:1233) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.stop(StandardService.java:554) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.stop(StandardServer.java:2224) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:543) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.execute(Catalina.java:400) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.process(Catalina.java:180) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:3 9 ) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImp l .java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:203) 2003-01-19 10:39:46 StandardHost[localhost]: Removing web application at context path /examples 2003-01-19 10:39:46 StandardHost[localhost]: Removing web application at context path /tomcat-docs 2003-01-19 10:39:46 StandardHost[localhost]: Removing web application at context path 2003-01-19 10:39:46 StandardHost
