Hi there. I am trying to start an embedded tomcat instance, but I would like to supply it with a servlet to run, and supply no config files and directories etc.
I am following the example at http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2002/04/03/tomcat.html, and the mail: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listId=88&msgNo=151808 So far, I can't get it to work - any help/pointers (or documentation) would be appreciated. The code (and the exception right at the bottom): //------------------------------ System.setProperty("catalina.home", "/var/lib/tomcat4"); embedded = new Embedded(); embedded.setDebug(5); embedded.setLogger(new SystemOutLogger()); engine = embedded.createEngine(); engine.setDefaultHost("localhost"); host = new StandardHost(); host.setName("localhost"); engine.addChild(host); //Here's where I try to create the context with my servlet: context = new StandardContext(); wrapper = context.createWrapper(); wrapper.setName("wrapper"); wrapper.setServletClass(MyServlet.class.getName()); context.addChild(wrapper); context.setName("context"); context.addServletMapping("/", wrapper.getName()); host.addChild(context); embedded.addEngine(engine); connector = embedded.createConnector(null, 8080, false); embedded.addConnector(connector); //------------------------------ now, as soon as I do an embedded.start(), I get: StandardContext[context]: Resources start failed: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.io.File.<init>(File.java:180) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.getBasePath(StandardContext.java:3907) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.resourcesStart(StandardContext.java:3349) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:3479) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1188) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:754) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1188) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:363) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded.start(Embedded.java:994) Powered by Tiscali - http://www.tiscali.co.za
