RE: War File Deployment Problem in Windows
Hey thanks Matt, right on, with your information I found out that what I need to do was to include a META-INF/context.xml file in my application defining a context and using the settings to prevent library locking, something like: Context path=/OES2 antiResourceLocking=true antiJARLocking=true WatchedResource/usr/local/tomcat/conf/context.xml/WatchedResource WatchedResourceWEB-INF/web.xml/WatchedResource /Context this solved my problem.

war file deployment problem
Hello All, kindof a newbie here so be gentle I wrote a little dummy app with Forte 4.0 that consists of a jsp page with a link that calls a servlet which does a database lookup and spews out some data. It works fine with the built in copy of Tomcat that comes with Forte. I build a war file and try to deploy it on another machine with Tomcat 4.0.4 on it. I put my file dummy.war in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/dummy dir and use this command from a browser http://localhost:8080/manager/install? path=/dummywar=jar:file:$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/dummy/dummy.war!/ now the command http://localhost:8080/manager/install tells me that my app is running, but when I try to access it with http://localhost/dummy or http://localhost/dummy/index.jsp it says the resource is not available. I kinda thought Tomcat could access the war file in it's bundled state but after reading the docs I got the impression the manager app was gonna expand it, is that true? In my case the file wasn't expanded. After some head scratching I figured I'd manually expand the war file in the $CATALINA_HOME/ROOT dir. After doing that and restarting Tomcat everything works fine with http://localhost/index.jsp. So, let me ask a few questions 1) What does the manager app do does it modify $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml should it expand the war file 2)If I'm gonna deploy multiple apps, what's the typical dir structure $CATALINA_HOME/ROOT/app1, $CATALINA_HOME/ROOT/app2, etc could i deploy an app outside the Tomcat dir structure (ie /home/mydir) 3)Is this the correct flow of things Tomcat starts up and reads $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml and now knows about the apps that are installed and what path they're mapped to. when a client tries to access an app, Tomcat goes and looks in the jar file and reads web.xml to discover what all is in the war file. Within the war file any static content goes in the WEB-INF dir, class files go in WEB- INF/classes and .jar files goe in WEB-INF/lib hep me, hep me Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: war file deployment problem
Hi Dave. I think you're making this more complicated than it needs to be. Two things: 1. Try putting your war file in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory rather than $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/dummy. If your tomcat installation is set up to unpack war files (this is the default) it will create the dummy webapp directory for you and unpack everything into that directory when you restart tomcat. 2. The URL to use to access your webapp will also have to use port 8080. Unless you've modified your server.xml file and you're running tomcat as root that is. This set up will work with the out of the box tomcat installation. No need to modify server.xml at all. You should then be able to access your app like this: http://localhost:8080/dummy See if that simplifies things.

Re: war file deployment problem
What? Me make it more complicated than it is? surely you jest!

Re: war file deployment problem
You are confusing Tomcat. If you are going to dynamically deploy your webapp, don't have the .war file sitting in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps. Have it somewhere else. Everything in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps is automatically deployed and, yes, it is expanded if you *don't* have a Context entry defined for that webapp. when you install like you are, there is already a webapp defined for the path you are specifying. Now you install another webapp under the same name. I don't know how Tomcat handles this situation, but it looks as if it hoses the webapp entry. Make sure to name your webapps uniquely and don't put any .war files or expanded directories that you plan on dynamically installing through the manager in Tomcat's default auto-deploy directory (webapps).

Thanks a million for the quick feedback I've got things working now Once you see how this works it's pretty easy, but I must say getting here was kinda tuff maybe when I get a little further along I'll make up a little tutorial titled how to tie your shoes before you learn to walk before you learn to run Thanx Again Dave You are confusing Tomcat.

Dear Derrick
I am not a member of tomcat, nor do I know anything about it. I have
recieved many emails from tomcat members that have a virus attached to them.
Please do not email me again. I have emailed for them to unsubscribe me
several times, but to no avail.
Thank you!
