I have two web app projects in NB21. One app installs to the Tomcat 9 that I use for development, and it runs fine. However the second app will not install, although it uses similar run configuration settings.
My NetBeans info is *Product Version:* Apache NetBeans IDE 21 *Java:* 17.0.9; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 17.0.9+8-LTS *Runtime:* OpenJDK Runtime Environment 17.0.9+8-LTS *System:* Mac OS X version 14.4.1 running on aarch64; UTF-8; en_US (nb) *User directory:* /Users/thad/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/21 *Cache directory:* /Users/thad/Library/Caches/NetBeans/21 The OpenJDK is Amazon Corretto. Apache is using Java 11. Both apps target Java 8. The app that works uses web-app version 4.0. This problem app uses web-app version 3.1. Oddly, both apps are working fine on an older Mac with NB18 (see below). *Product Version:* Apache NetBeans IDE 18 *Java:* 17.0.4; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 17.0.4+8-LTS *Runtime:* OpenJDK Runtime Environment 17.0.4+8-LTS *System:* Mac OS X version 10.15.7 running on x86_64; UTF-8; en_US (nb) *User directory:* /Users/thad/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/18 *Cache directory:* /Users/thad/Library/Caches/NetBeans/18 The Tomcat install on both Macs is the same. I tried various solutions, but none have worked: - updating the problem app to 4.0 - deleting the app; cloning it from Git; and rebuilding it - shutting down NetBeans, removing ~/Library/Caches/NetBeans/21, and restarting NetBeans - copying the META-INF/context.xml to the Tomcat conf/Catalina/localhost with the appropriate name, and docBase having the full path to the app in the project's target directory. On starting Tomcat, the file is deleted (which is the *only* time the app appears in any of the Tomcat logs; there are no errors). Can anyone offer a solution?
