Subject: path mapping vs Tomcat webapp paths From: "Jeff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> === What do I need to do to get path mapping to work properly under BOTH Tomcat 3 (running inside Forte as the sole application) and Tomcat 4 (running standalone on a server deployed from "webapps/")?
At the moment, I seem to be in a "no-win" situation where I can pacify EITHER Tomcat running under Forte or Tomcat running standalone on a real web server, but not BOTH. DETAILS: Web app is auto-deployed from do.war The app's web.xml file maps the path /do/* to Struts' ActionServlet: <!-- http://host:8080/do/menu should launch ActionServlet with "/menu" as the Action path --> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/do/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> The struts-config.xml file defines "/menu" as an Action path: <action type="experiment.ShowMenuAction" name="menuForm" validate="false" path="/menu"> <forward name="menu" path="/menu.jsp" /> </action> If I try to launch http://host:8080/do/menu on the server, I get a "404" error telling me that the requested resource (/menu) is not available. OK, I can deal with that... Since the app is deployed in webapps/do, Tomcat must be stripping off the leading "/do" so app will see only "/menu", and since there is no folder or file named "menu" in the app's rootdir, it's not finding it, and failing to trigger ActionServlet. Fair enough. However, if I try to humor Tomcat and specify "/do" twice, as http://host:8080/do/do/menu (the first one to satisfy Tomcat and send it to the webapp in "webapps/do", the second one to trigger the path mapping for ActionServlet), I get a "500" error, with the specific error being that Struts could not retrieve the mapping for "/do/do/menu" WTF? Which way does Tomcat want it?!? Why is it stripping off the "/do" entirely when there's just one, but leaving it duplicated when it's there twice? What do I need to do to get path maps to work both inside Forte AND on a real web server (where it's deployed from tomcat/webapps/do)? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
