This is an easy fix. The problem is that with no docBase defined and a
path of "", tomcat is going to use a docBase of "ROOT". That means
Tomcat is going to look for these files in "work/example1/ROOT" not in
"work/example1".
Generally, I'd recommend a slightly different directory structure.
Something like:
webapps-example1/ROOT.war
which auto expands into
webapps-example1/ROOT

Thank you. I know how it is when someone stop at your desk for help, but not
giving you any details on what the problem is :)
I followed your advices. I created separated webapps under our ${catalina.base}
folder webapps-example1, webapps-example2 and so on, with a ROOT.war in each of
them (what we usually do with single webapps deployment).
It work... partially. I'm getting random crash with the same error as when it
couldn't find the libraries.
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri:
<http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core> http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be
resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application
I first thought it was browser cache, but after testing a few time with wget on
Tomcat itself and still getting the error, I have the feeling I'm hitting a
cache inside tomcat. Why it's random, I have no clue.
Next I tried the docBase approach I totally forgot about that setting after we
removed them when they got a behaviour change midway in Tomcat 7 and it was
recommended not to used them.
With webapps-example1 and webapps-example2, everything and a configured
docBase, everything worked. Multiple refresh did not cause random class not
found without the docBase. However, since I have a dozen webapps, leaving 12
extra webapps folders under ${catalina.base} fell a bit cumbersome.
So I tried again with the following directory structure :
webapps/example1/ROOT
webapps/example2/ROOT
It worked like a charm too, but I noticed something that may be a priority
order issues between ContextConfig and HostConfig.
With this configuration:
------
<Host name="www.example1.com<http://www.example1.com>" appBase="webapps/example1"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false">
<Context path="" reloadable="false" workDir="work/sourcesuite"
docBase="/home/tomcat/wars/example1.war">
<JarScanner scanClassPath="false" scanBootstrapClassPath="false"/>
<Resources>
<PreResources className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.DirResourceSet"
readOnly="true" webAppMount="/"
base="/home/tomcat/CMS/example1.com" />
</Resources>
</Context>
</Host>
------
if I create ${catalina.base}/webapps and none of it's host appBase, I get the
following error:

------
The source reveal that ExpandWar try to do a mkdir but not a mkdirs . Since
the parent is absent, it fail and crash.
BUT, some moment later, the HostConfig class is creating those exact parents,
recursively.

Is it normal that the context is initialized BEFORE the host is started, while
expecting the host to create the structure, but failing because the structure
is not present?
Should the expand be executed after the host created the proper structure for
the context to expand it wars?
Thanks
