2014/1/13 Bob DeRemer <[email protected]>: Tomcat version =?
> We're trying to determine if it's possible to build a WAR with an embedded > META-INF/Context.xml that defines the webapp path to be different then the > WAR file name. Not possible. BTW, the file name is "context.xml" (case sensitively). > Let's say we have AppServer-<version>.war, but we want to access it as: > http://<host>/Server. Rename your war file to ROOT.war or ROOT##AppServer-<version>.war. The latter naming works on Tomcat 7 and 8 only. > In addition, we want to support uploading/installing the WAR both from the > Manager app as well as using ftp/command-line to copy the WAR and restart > Tomcat. This way, it's pretty much automatic without editing/creating > additional XML files. > > If this works, then we can have identifiable WAR files, but with a > common/standard webapp path. > > We have reviewed the docs and the only approach that has worked for us is > adding a separate Context element to the <Tomcat>/conf/Server.xml file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
