Hi there,
I've been having trouble persuading tomcat 5.5 to expand ROOT.war when it
is dropped into webapps, and started. The problem seems to go away if
ROOT.war contains META-INF/context.xml - but since we deploy this war file
to different environments, shipping it with a context file isn't an option.
See the email below for instructions on how to duplicate the bug. (btw,
this is quite an old mailtrail, and I notice there are a couple of stray
messages that should belong in this particular mail trail).
I've also experimented today with the manager app, and again , when I use
the deploy ant target, the app fails to start because it seems tomcat isn't
expanding the war file:
<deploy url="${url}" username="${username}" password="${password}"
path="${path}" localWar="file://${build}/ROOT.war"
config="file://${build}/ROOT.xml" />
The manager can correctly stop and undeploy the ROOT app, but when I use
the above task, ROOT.war and ROOT.xml are dropped into the correct folders,
but the war *isn't* expanded).
ROOT.xml has the following context attributes:
<Context debug="1" reloadable="true" antiResourceLocking="true"
antiJARLocking="true">
and host has the usual defaults:
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
My question is: has anyone else experienced similar problems with
expanding ROOT.war? My work around is to write ant targets and scripts
to manually expand the war... however I'd like to understand if this is a
bug, or just a quirk of my setup. If it is a bug, then I'd like to submit
this to tomcat's bugzilla.
thanks
Andy

Thanks for the feedback and the correction. OK - I have a very simple war
file named ROOT.war - it doesn't a META-INF directory. I have placed a
file called ROOT.xml into conf/Catalina/localhost with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context debug="1">
</Context>
Server.xml has the defaults that come with tomcat 5.5.17:
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
I put ROOT.war into the webapps directory and start tomcat --> ROOT.war
isn't expanded.
Any other suggestions? Or might this be a bug?
thanks for your help,
Andy

Neither one is correct. You must NOT use the path attribute in a
<Context> element unless the <Context> is defined in server.xml. The
URI path to the app is determined from the name of the .xml file in the
conf/[engine]/[host] directory.
