Hello,
I'm trying to avoid using absolute path names in Tomcat 3.1's
"server.xml" file. I can cause it to run the JSP files fine, but
will not find image files ONLY if the docBase is relative (it does
find them if docBase is absolute).
Here are the details:
I run Tomcat standalone under JBuilder 3.5 (Windows 2000, JDK 1.2.2)
With "-f" pointing to the full path name of server.xml. Inside
server.xml I have the following:
<Context path="/providercenter" docBase="." debug="100" reloadable="true" />
This works great with the JSP files, but when these JSP files generate HTML
which causes the browser to try to fetch images files, the images aren't
found and I get the following in tomcat.log:
Context log: path="/providercenter" In error handler 404 null / R(
/providercenter + + /images/spacer.gif)
Context log: path="/providercenter" Error: Calling servlet
Wrapper(tomcat.errorPage S:org.apache.tomcat.servlets.DefaultErrorPage)
Changing the docBase to the full path name of the directory which contains
the .jsp files
(and the images/ directory under it, e.g. "w:\amos\providercenter"), makes
the problem go
away (and no output in tomcat.log even though I tried to ask it for full
debug output).
This is the ONLY difference between the two cases.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as so far I couldn't figure out the
problem
from digging Tomcat's documents and source.
Thanks,
