Hello, I struggle with loading context.xml from a build directory (and war package). On our development server we have a directory with one of our projects, containing the usual structure - doc, src, etc. If the compile works fine, the compiled classes etc. are copied to the build directory, including the context.xml, which placed in the META-INF directory and contains just one Realm we use to check username and password. The war package is built without problems too.
The problem is this - we have a ANT target, we use to install this build directory as a new web application to the tomcat 5.0 server: <target name="install" depends="compile" description="Install application to servlet container"> <deploy url="${manager.url}" username="${manager.username}" password="${manager.password}" path="${app.path}" localWar="file://${build.home}"/> </target> It works nicely, with the exception that the context.xml is not loaded - it's not copied to the /opt/tomcat5/conf/Catalina/[host]/[context].xml and the realm is not available (ie. we can't check the username/password). The same happens when trying to install the war package - the application loads and works fine, but the context is not loaded. The whole context.xml is this <Context path="/vo" debug="9" privileged="true" allowLinking="true"> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" directory="logs" prefix="ordinace_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp=" true" verbosity="4" /> <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm" dataSourceName="jdbc/ordinace" debug="4" userTable="crm_v_klie nti_ordinace_aut" userNameCol="login" userCredCol="heslo" userRoleTable="crm_v_klienti_ordinace_aut" roleNameCol="role" /> </Context> I've been able to 'force' the context.xml in two ways: 1) Add docBase and copy the file to the /opt/tomcat5/conf/Catalina/[host] directory, so the application is loaded automatically by tomcat. 2) Use the Tomcat Manager, and specify the context.xml as the 'XML Configuration File URL' while deploying the new application. But I don't like these ways, as I'd like achieve 'auto-load' from the META-INF directory. So the question is - I have a 'build' directory with 'META-INF' subdirectory, with 'context.xml' in it - What do I have to do to force Tomcat to load this context.xml on startup? The same question applies to the WAR package, which was created from the build directory. t.v. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
