 Mark,

 steps to reproduce
 
 1) make dir  C:\tomcat_test
 2) download apache-tomcat-7.0.39.zip and unpack it in C:\tomcat_test

The list strips attachments but there is enough information for me to
reproduce the behaviour with a simple webapp. (The moral here is that
you should aim to reproduce any problem you report with as simple a
webapp as possible. A 5 line JSP and a 3 line context.xml file is all
that is needed for this issue.)

 3) in C:\tomcat_test unpack attached jdbc.7z
 4) start tomcat with startup.bat
 4) in c:\tomcat_test\jdbc call ant deploy-war

OK. That copies the WAR file to the appBase of a running Tomcat instance
so with the default config it will be unpacked and deployed.

 5) open http://localhost:8080/jdbc/select.jsp result is:
 org.apache.jasper.JasperException: An exception occurred processing JSP
 page /select.jsp at line 22 . 
 root cause 
 javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name
 [jdbc/Test] is not bound in this Context. Unable to find [jdbc].
 6) into C:\tomcat_test\apache-tomcat-7.0.39\conf\Catalina\localhost
 insert attached jdbc.xml

OK. That will have no effect as although Tomcat sees the new file it
does not redploy the webapp (arguably it should at this point - I'll
look into that).

 7) close tomcat console
 8) start tomcat with startup.bat

That causes Tomcat to deploy the webapp using the context.xml file.

 9) again open result is OK, config works fine, error is caused by lack
 of h2 jar (org.apache.jasper.JasperException:
 javax.servlet.ServletException:
 org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot load JDBC driver
 class 'org.h2.Driver')
 10) now in notepad++ open
 C:\tomcat_test\jdbc\src\main\webapp\select.jsp, change title to
 titleSimple jsp page 2/t
 11) as in 4) in c:\tomcat_test\jdbc call ant deploy-war
 jdbc.xml disappeared from

This is the interesting bit. I do see the context.xml file being deleted.

I'm not sure if this is the correct behaviour or not. There are a lot of
variables when looking at auto-deployment. I have been meaning to sit
down and document all the possible combinations. This might be the time
to do that.

 When exactly do you create jdbc.xml? Can you explain, step-by-step, what
 you do starting from a clean Tomcat install when Tomcat is not running.
 I am looking for the order you:
 - start or stop Tomcat
 - copy any WAR / xml files
 - delete any WAR / xml files
 - do anything to change the timestamp of any WAR / xml files

conf/Catalina/localhost/myWebApp.xml context file disappears

2013-04-17 Thread Jakub 1983 
when I copy new version of myWebApp.war into webapps directory my context
from
conf/Catalina/localhost/ disappears (this context was manually created by
me),

maybe tomcat first deletes war, and also delete corresponding context file,
is there any way to prevent it ?
how should such update be done ?
  a) in developer mode (on my local mashine, when I want to copy from
console)
  b) in production mode, not so frequently

Hi.
I do not know the answer to your question, so I tried to figure it out using the on-line 
Tomcat 7.0 documentation.

And I couldn't, really.

I suppose that it has something to do with the xmlBase and copyXML and deployXML 
attributes of the Host, here : http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/host.html
(and also with the Deployer page at 
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/deployer-howto.html)


But I'll be damned if I understand how these things interact for your case 
above.
Maybe I missed the crucial clue somewhere though..

Maybe an additional question to you : does your .war file contain a 
/META-INF/context.xml file ?


Note: there is a hint that if you set Host .. deployXML=false .., this overwriting (or 
deleting) may not happen.  But it is not very clear.
And since it is at the Host level, it would apply to all applications of that Host, not 
just the one you are talking about.

2013-04-17 Thread Jakub 1983 
Andre, thx for you reply.

My war has no /META-INF/context.xml, here is piece of server.xml:

  Host name=localhost  appBase=C:\test\catalina_base\webapps
unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true deployOnStartup=true
deployXML=false


even with deployXML=false my jdbc.context if removed from
C:\test\catalina_base\conf\Catalina\localhost

What, exactly, are you doing? For example, copy and overwrite has very
different behaviour (at least it should) to delete then replace.

How (and when) you create the context.xml file also matters as does the
running state of Tomcat when you make any changes.

I call ant task

copy file=${target.dir}/${war.file} todir=${deploy.dir}/

application is called jdbc.war, and I create jdbc.xml in
conf/Catalina/localhost/ after I deploy war and previous jdbc.xml
