Re: does tomcat work without apache? ... a real beginner asks some basic!?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

dear yoav shapira,

please don't take it personal! it's me who is sitting lots of hours and 
trying...

thank your for your time spent to answer my emails.

i have one last question and i hope i get a last answer:

what you told me in your last email (with absolute and relative paths) - 
is this not only true for my private-tomcat-environment but also, when i 
once have an own domain like "www.myapp.at"?

greetings and thank you so much for your help

Howdy,
I'm quickly getting tired of this.  You should really read the <Context>
configuration reference in the tomcat docs, especially docBase and path,
and make sure you understand them.
You don't need multiple Engines or Hosts, one (the default) is enough.

Don't have absolute links, i.e links that start with /, in your webapp.
They should all be relative, i.e start with ./ or ../.  If they have to
start with /, it must be / + your webapp name + /the file, i.e.
/sygenews/myfile.html.

basic!?

hi,

i tried the path="" with my tomcat, and the result was the same. how
does this "http://yourserver:yourport"; work in "real"-life: must i do
several tomcat-installation, shall there be more "<host..." entries or
more "<engine..."s??
please give me one more hint!

thank you

Howdy,



     

with the paths: isn't it so, that "docBase=..." means, that all my

       

links

     

would be added to this entry? and why does it work in netbeans (i
       

tried
 

to find any differences but i didn't!)?

       

No.  Be careful to note the difference between a context's path and
     

its
 

docBase.  You probably want a context whose path is "", so that people
can point their browser at http://yourserver:yourport/ and see your
webapp.
Why it works in NetBeans is probably because NetBeans deploys your
webapp to the "" context by default.  I'm not familiar enough with
NetBeans to comment further.


     

tell me, that i mustn't recode all my links!

       

You should have coded them relatively in the first place to avoid this
problem.  Setting the context path to "" will save you the need to
rewrite your links.


     

and: installing my files under a domain: isn't it allowed(?) too, to

       

say

     

"/formats.css"??

       

It is allowed.  Whether it makes sense to the container or not depends
on your configuration.
