============ What does work: deploying app in a /appname Context ============ - I defined a host myhost with a /hostappbase dir as appBase - I took the sample HelloWorld app, renamed myapp and wanted it as http://myhost/myapp - I added a META-INF/context.xml file - I compiled it with "ant all" using a build.xml like the one from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/appdev/build.xml.txt - Then compiled and validated the jsp with "ant -f deploy.xml compile" where deploy.xml is like build.xml example from tomcat-deployer-5.0.28 - I also modified the jar destfile to <jar destfile="/hostappbase /${webapp}.war" so after compile, Tomcat automagically detects the new .war and unpacks it and loads the new application => Navigation, reloading and even restarting the new app OK - I tried "ant -f deploy.xml deploy" => Tomcat manager undeploy and again redeploy the application, everithing OK.
================ What does NOT work: deploying similar app in a /dir/appname Context ================ - I want a copy of HelloWorld, copied all as myapp2 and edited build.xml deploy.xml context.xml and web.xml - THE DIFFERENCE is that now I want it as http://myhost/SOMEDIR/myapp2 - So I mkdir /hostappbase/SOMEDIR - Changed the files that way: --- build.xml --- < <property name="app.name" value="myapp"/> < <property name="app.path" value="/${app.name}"/> --- > <property name="app.name" value="myapp2"/> > <property name="app.path" value="/SOMEDIR/${app.name}"/> < <property name="build.home" value="....../myapp"/> --- > <property name="build.home" value="....../myapp2"/> --- deploy.xml --- < <property name="webapp" value="myapp"/> < <property name="path" value="/myapp"/> --- > <property name="webapp" value="myapp2"/> > <property name="path" value="/SOMEDIR/myapp2"/> < <jar destfile="/hostappbase/${webapp}.war" --- > <jar destfile="/hostappbase/SOMEDIR/${webapp}.war" < path="${path}" war="/hostappbase/${webapp}.war" update="true" /> --- > path="${path}" war="/hostappbase/SOMEDIR/${webapp}.war" update="true" /> --- context.xml --- < workDir="work/Catalina/myhost/myapp" < path="/myapp" --- > workDir="work/Catalina/myhost/SOMEDIR_myapp2" > path="/SOMEDIR/myapp2" < docBase="/hostappbase/myapp" --- > docBase="/hostappbase/SOMEDIR/myapp2" --- web.xml --- (no changes) I followed the same steps and the result was: 1- when executed "ant -f deploy.xml compile" Tomcat does not realize there is a new .war and does not load nor unpacks the new app. 2- when executed "ant -f deploy.xml deploy" it seems to load the app, but I got this error from Tomcat (so ant says BUILD FAILED): StandardContext[/manager]Manager: ManagerServlet.install[/SOMEDIR/myapp2] java.net.MalformedURLException: no !/ in spec I found this note: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/JarURLConnection.html So I tried this change in deploy.xml: war="jar:file:/hostappbase/SOMEDIR/${webapp}.war!/" And I got a FileNotFound error from ant. I tried combinations but none of them worked. What is my mistake? Thanks in advance. ______________________________________________ Renovamos el Correo Yahoo!: ˇ250 MB GRATIS!
