Tomcat 5.5.15. ROOT.war doesn't get deployed

[Gregor Schneider]

Hi folks,

I have a servlet with the following web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd";>
   <security-constraint>
       <web-resource-collection>
       <web-resource-name>Protected Area</web-resource-name>
           <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
        </web-resource-collection>
         <auth-constraint>
           <role-name>domuser</role-name>
       </auth-constraint>
   </security-constraint>
   <login-config>
           <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
           <realm-name>Dom4Bereich</realm-name>
           <form-login-config>
                   <form-login-page>/jsp/loginForm.html</form-login-page>
                   <form-error-page>/jsp/error.html</form-error-page>
           </form-login-config>
   </login-config>
   <security-role>
       <description>DOM-Users</description>
       <role-name>domuser</role-name>
   </security-role>
   <servlet>
       <servlet-name>SingleSignOn</servlet-name>
       <servlet-class>com.cr.web.sso.SingleSignOn</servlet-class>
           <init-param>
                   <param-name>count_popups</param-name>
                   <param-value>1</param-value>
           </init-param>
           <init-param>
                   <param-name>popup_1</param-name>
                   <param-value>/BMIWizardDE</param-value>
           </init-param>
   </servlet>
   <servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-name>SingleSignOn</servlet-name>
       <url-pattern>/SingleSignOn</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

I packed everything into ROOT.war, copied it into $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps,
restarted tomcat, but it just doesn't get deployed. In catalina.out there's
no hint that anything went wrong.

Do I miss something here?

Is this way of deployment not correct for a ROOT-app?

Any hints appreciated...

TIA

Gregor
