Dear all,
I have been trying for quite a while to enable webapplications in user
directories (accessible via ~username) to be automatically reloaded. I am
not sure if it is even possible. Maybe someone of you knows an answer. Any
help is very much appreciated.
Here is my setup:
I am using Tomcat 6.0 (server information included below) with Ubuntu
(feisty). In my server.xml file i have a single host entry for localhost
to which I added a listener for the user directories:
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.UserConfig"
directoryName="public-webapps"
userClass="org.apache.catalina.startup.PasswdUserDatabase" />
</Host>
With this configuration the user homes are accessible. But if I make any
changes, the application is not reloaded. (Applications under
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps, however, _are_ reloaded automatically!)
My context.xml file looks like this:
<Context reloadable="true">
<!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
</Context>
According to the Tomcat Documentations, the user webapps should inherit
all settings of the DefaultContext. I tried adding a DefaultContext entry
to the server.xml file (even though I thought that the default context
should be sufficiently set up by context.xml):
<DefaultContext reloadable="true"/>
Unfortunately this did not work either. The web applications in the user
directories do not get reloaded. I would be very happy if somebody could
tell how I could get this working (a work-around will do too!). Any
suggestions are dearly appreciated! Thanks & Kind regards,
Niklas
PS
Here is my server information:
Tomcat Version Apache Tomcat/6.0-snapshot
JVM Version 1.5.0_12-b04
JVM Vendor Sun Microsystems Inc.
OS Name Linux
OS Version 2.6.20-16-server
OS Architecture i386
