RE: How do I add another webapp?

[Steve Haines]

At least in Tomcat 3.1 you had to modify the uriworkermap.properties file in
tomcat's conf directory in addition to the server.xml file. Add 

/newserv/*=ajp12

- Note if Tomcat 3.2b6 uses a different thread than ajp12, use that one
instead (make it look like the /examples/*=.. line)

Good luck!

Subject: How do I add another webapp?


I posted this a couple of days ago and I didn't get any response, so here
goes again:

I've just installed Tomcat (3.1.99b6, it looks like).

I'm trying to add another servlet context, but it's just not working.

I added:

   <Context path="/newserv"
             docBase="webapps/mynewservlet"
             debug="9"
             reloadable="true" >
   </Context>

to my /etc/tomcat/server.xml file. Then, I copied the entire
webapps/examples directory contents to webapps/mynewservlet. I deleted all
of the classes in webapps/mynewservlet/WEB-INF/classes, replaced them with
my new ones, and then edited the webapps/mynewservlet/WEB-INF/web.xml to
look like:

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>
        MyServ
    </servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>
        mypackage.Default
    </servlet-class>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>
          MyServ
      </servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>
          /myserv
      </url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>


Then, when I try to go to tomcat and ask for "/newserv/myserv", I get:

java.lang.NullPointerException

In the logs, I get essentially the same thing, but with "Exception in
it   - java.lang.NullPointerException:" right before the stacktrace.

Ideas?
