Let me answer my own posting here.
Tomcat 5.5.17 changed code with respect to deploy command. But documentation did not reflect it. Deploy works if the url specified a. With jar prefix removed b. default path added at the end http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy? config=file:/path/context.xml&war=file:/path/bar.war&path=/bar Can you please fix the documentation please? -Venky ________________________________ From: Venkatesh Jayaraman (jvenky) Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 10:08 PM To: 'users@tomcat.apache.org' Subject: Tomcat upgrade from 5.0.28 to 5.5.17, Tomcat Manager does not work for context based deployments We are trying to use tomcat manager feature. >>> http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/manager-howto.html#Deploy%20A%20 New% 20Application%20Remotely Deploy A New Application from a Local Path.
