RE: Tomcat 5.5.4 / Context not responding - Test example webapp
Hi, Yep, I had read those but it does not mention that you do *not* delete ROOT anymore like you did in previous version of Tomcat and that you are supposed to also name the XML config file to ROOT. I've used Tomcat from version 3, and so I found this counter to previous experience with Tomcat configuration. I also find that these types of feature changes slip by because the configuration pages are divided up quite a lot and it is difficult to spot these subleties. I would find a page that caters for a basic setup with the new version for a basic web application deployed from root + data sources quite helpful and I am happy to write this either as a blog on my site, or as an addition to the Tomcat docs .. whatever is most useful.

The docs mention it on the page for Context: The value of this field must not be set except when statically defining a Context in server.xml, as it will be infered from the filenames used for either the .xml context file or the docBase. The change allows having more features for the hot deployer, while making it much simpler and more maintainable. -- x Rémy Maucherat Developer & Consultant JBoss Group (Europe) SàRL x - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ah ok, didn't see this anywhere in the docs :) thanks for helping out. had to rename my web application to ROOT and the iq.xml to ROOT.xml. caused a few issues with IIS but have been able to remap those too. quite a big change from 5.0! all working now touch wood! cheers, Allistair. > -Original Message- > From: Remy Maucherat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 12 November 2004 13:23 > To: Allistair Crossley > Subject: Re: Tomcat 5.5.4 / Context not responding - Test > example webapp > > > On Fri, 12 Nov 2004 13:06:30 -, Allistair Crossley > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have removed path="" from the test.xml but the result is > the same, blank page.

RE: Tomcat 5.5.4 / Context not responding - Test example webapp
OK, so how would I make this test web application the root application. How is the root web application determined when there are several web applications that use the .xml configuration method? I have removed path="" from the test.xml but the result is the same, blank page. Am I supposed to call the root application ROOT?

RE: Tomcat 5.5.4 / Context not responding - Test example webapp
To demonstrate this problem, I have reduced it to a small web app. 1. Install 5.5.4 and delete tomcat/webapps/ROOT 2. Create file test.xml and save it to tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost with the content 3. Create folder tomcat/webapps/test 4. Create in that folder (3) file called test.jsp with content Hello 5.5.4 <%= "Hello 5.5.4" %> 5. Start tomcat 6. Request http://yourserver:8080/test/test.jsp You should get a blank page. Not good!
