Hi all. Sorry for bringing this old topic back to the surface... But I really need help here.
I have my Tomcat4 up and running as Stand-Alone but it doesn't want to deploy my .WAR files. All of the "Examles" application do work just fine... With Tomcat3.3 all works like a charm :) >From what I understand reading the manuals AND sufing the web for several days I must include my web.xml (descriptor) file into the WEB-INF dir in the app. Well, i'm doing so and i'm also adding my context in the server.xml wich looks like this: <!-- My XXX Context --> <Context path="/XXX" docBase="XXX" debug="0" reloadable="true"/> My web.xml (desccriptor) looks like this: ### <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";> <web-app> <!-- General description of the application --> <display-name>NAME</display-name> <description> bla bla </description> <context-param> <param-name>webmaster</param-name> <param-value>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</param-value> <description> bla bla </description> </context-param> <session-config> <session-timeout>10</session-timeout> <!-- 10 minutes --> </session-config> </web-app> ### Question: Must I have a context in server.xml AND a descriptor? When I do have both I get this error message in the logfile: ### Error initializing resources: Document base /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1/webapps/XXX does not exist or is not a readable directory ### When I remove the context entry from the server.xml it all works fine !!! So my friends, wich is it... both or one of them? Many thanx. Cheers Pablo
