I'm running Tomcat 8.5.11. I have a hopefully small problem.
I have a webapp directory: $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp/. In that directory I
have WEB-INF/web.xml with:
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>connURL</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>jdbc:mysql://localhost/members?</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
In this example, the env-entry is just part of an SQL connection string I want
to snag.
In a browser, going to: <myIP>/myapp/index.jsp works fine with WEB-INF as shown
above.
What I want to do is put all of this in a sub-directory:
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp/subapp/ and access it on my browser as
<myIP>/myapp/subapp/index.jsp. When I do that -- no changes to anything -- I
get the error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name
[connURL] is not bound in this Context. Unable to find [connURL].
Here is the jsp code:
Context ctx = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
Context env = (Context) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env");
String _dbURL = (String) env.lookup("connURL"));
Clearly, the error has something to do with the extra subdirectory level. Also,
when I do getServletContext().getRealPath("") in my jsp program it only returns
"/srv/tomcat/webapps/myapp", not .../myapp/subapp
How do I fix this so env.lookup("") find my env-entry?
How do I get the path to the jsp file?
Thanks --Mark
