Re: Virtual Host and dynamic webapp reloading
I've gotta say I've had a miserable time with this one. I've tried nearly permutation of configurations in the Tomcat documentation and nothing seems to work; either I get the default host or a white blank screen. What I need is for www.mydomain.com to host mywebapp on the default path and anotherapp on path /anotherapp If I have this setup in server.xml, everything works: ... Host name=mydomain.com appBase=webapps/mywebapp unpackWars=true autoDeploy=true Context path= docBase=. debug=0 cookies=false / Context path=/anotherapp docBase=../anotherapp debug=0 / ... However, to get the dynamic webapp reloading I've been recommended to move my Context elements out of server.xml. As I am running muliple virtual hosts I understand that I cannot use conf/context.xml because this applies to all hosts. So I have tried each of the following, without success: - creating a conf/Catalina/mydomain.com/mywebapp.xml - creating a conf/Catalina/mydomain.com/ROOT.xml - creating a conf/Catalina/mydomain.com/context.xml - creating a conf/Catalina/mydomain.com/context.xml.default - creating a META-INF/context.xml in the web app (although I'd prefer to sort this out within Tomcat anyway) I've also tried several variations on the docBase: ., mywebapp, the absolute path, the absolute path to the .war file... I mean, why wouldn't this work? in conf/server.xml: Host name=mydomain.com appBase=webapps/mywebapp unpackWars=true in conf/Catalina/mydomain.com/mywebapp.xml: Context path= docBase=. debug=0 / Any ideas on how I can achieve the equivalent of my working server.xml with nested Contexts in some other file?

Re: Virtual Host and dynamic webapp reloading
Hi Chris, I have three virtual hosts that I want to have hosting a webapp on the default path. Each host has a few aliases for subdomains etc. So I don't really want to have ROOT.war in CATALINA_HOME/webapps, partly because I want to keep the manager app and partly because I would have a ROOT.war files for each host, so I think you're saying CATALINA_HOME/webapps /myapp1/ROOT /myapp2/ROOT /myapp3/ROOT So I would've thought that I'd have the appBase of each host be myappX/ROOT, but what would the corresponding context.xml be? Does it actually work holding this file in /conf, I'm not sure about having this in the webapp, is it standard to have a META-INF/context.xml or is that a Tomcat thing?

Re: Virtual Host and dynamic webapp reloading
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dan, Daniel M Garland wrote: I have three virtual hosts that I want to have hosting a webapp on the default path. Different apps, or the same app on each virtual host? Each host has a few aliases for subdomains etc. So I don't really want to have ROOT.war in CATALINA_HOME/webapps, partly because I want to keep the manager app and partly because I would have a ROOT.war files for each host. You can deploy the manager app even when there is a ROOT application deployed. so I think you're saying CATALINA_HOME/webapps /myapp1/ROOT /myapp2/ROOT /myapp3/ROOT Well, I didn't say that, but if I had said something like that, I would have suggested: CATALINA_HOME/webapps (contains nothing) VIRTUAL_HOME/www.domain1.com[/webapps] ROOT myapp1 myapp2 ... VIRTUAL_HOME/www.domain2.com[/webapps] ROOT myapp1 myapp2 ... You will need separate Host elements in your server.xml file. The appBase for each of these should be VIRTUAL_HOST/www.[whatever].com, or whatever you choose to be your directory layout. If you are deploying all the same applications on all virtual hosts, then you can ignore the whole virtual host concept and just use a default host to serve everything regardless of the hostname. So I would've thought that I'd have the appBase of each host be myappX/ROOT No, no no. The appBase tells Tomcat where to look for deployable applications, not the directory where /index.html should be found. This is NOT the same thing as DocumentRoot in Apache httpd. Shave off the ROOT and you've got yourself a decent configuration. If there is a directory called ROOT (or a WAR file called ROOT.war) in the appBase directory, /that/ application will be used as the one that is deployed with no context path (i.e on / instead of /myapp). but what would the corresponding context.xml be? The context.xml file should not contain any path information whatsoever. All you need is JNDI resources, realm configuration and stuff like that. This is a perfectly good context.xml file: Context / You don't need anything else unless your application needs special configuration. If you don't have anything in your context.xml file, you can even leave it out, since Tomcat will give you the default deployment configuration (which is an empty config). Does it actually work holding this file in /conf, I'm not sure about having this in the webapp, is it standard to have a META-INF/context.xml or is that a Tomcat thing? This is a Tomcat thing only. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG+ol+9CaO5/Lv0PARAkpzAKCLVOu23XOa63lHvEMIvOOSe/DNSACfUa7m U9DbG+9+gn2Q6mXVcI759Pc= =b2Kr -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
