Hello,
You certainly don't need the "/" in the path attribute. This is not going to
work as it cannot match just one slash.
Would you please post the <Engine> <Host> and <Context> tags. They should
all be seen as a group to know exactly what's being called.

Subject: Context element problems in conf/server.xml

 

Hi
I posted a problem a couple of days ago which I've made some progress
   

with.
 

Originally my webapp ROOT.war would not unpack. I've figured out the
problem was with the Context element as shown below
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="9">
 <Environment name="servername" type="java.lang.String"
value="dev.andrew"/>
</Context>
If I unpacked ROOT.war manually then my application worked fine.
By adding a forward slash to the path attribute as shown below
<Context path="/" docBase="ROOT" debug="9">
 <Environment name="servername" type="java.lang.String"
value="dev.andrew"/>
</Context>
tomcat now unpacks the WAR fine. However, my application no longer
starts because it cannot find the 'servername'! Yikes!
Does anybody have any suggestions please?
Thanks again
Andrew
