Re: Trying to Map a web application to "/" in tomcat 5.5

Mon, 17 Dec 2007 15:11:30 -0800

My environment is slightly different (Windows XP Professional with NTFS file system, Tomcat 5.5.25), and the steps I used to deploy are a little different. 

The steps which I took to test my theory before posting:
- shutdown Tomcat
- remove all traces of my application
- copy drop root.war into webapps
- restart Tomcat
The war is exploded into a directory named root - lowercase, and is only accessible under the http://host/root URL. 

The joys of Windoze?

I was curious what happened if I followed stephen's advice

environment: TC 5.5.17

undeploy 'root'OK - Undeployed application at context path/root

%CATALINA_HOME%\webapps>del ROOT
%CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\ROOT\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? yes
(now the environment is clean)

tc-manager http://host:8080/manager/ deploy (lowercase) root.war
see attached root-war.jpg

then produce tc-manager listing
see attached root_listing.jpg

when I access http://host:8080/root/

I see the tomcat index.jsp main page
If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup Tomcat
successfully. Congratulations!

command line

%CATALINA_HOME%\webapps>dir ROOT
 Volume in drive F is DRV4_VOL1
 Volume Serial Number is F8AC-7975

 Directory of %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\ROOT

12/17/2007  02:55p      <DIR>          .
12/17/2007  02:55p      <DIR>          ..
12/17/2007  02:55p      <DIR>          WEB-INF

so when I deployed lowercase root.war TC deployed as
uppercase ROOT!

how do account for that?

Have you considered deploying your application as root.war?

NB: ROOT.war is the filename that Tomcat looks for as the root

application.

Having incorrect case in the filename root.war would result in the
application under, using the OP's example,

http://hostname:6293/root

Subject: Trying to Map a web application to "/" in tomcat 5.5



Hi,
We are trying to Map the URl of our tomcat instance such that the

webapp

"appadmin" maps to "/"
The tomcat version being used is tomcat 5.5.17
We are trying to do this by specifying the following in server.xml

  <Service name="Catalina">
    <Connector port="6293" />

    <!-- This is here for compatibility only, not required -->
    <Connector port="8017" protocol="AJP/1.3" />

    <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
<!--      <Realm

className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"

             resourceName="UserDatabase" /> crossContext="false"  -->

      <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWars="true"
autoDeploy="true">
    <Valve className="com.cisco.manager.impl.ManagerValve" />
    <Context docBase="/appadmin" path="/appadmin" reloadable="true"
wrapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper">
    <Valve className="com.cisco.uccx.UccxAuthenticator"
characterEncoding="UTF-8"/>
    <Realm className="com.cisco.uccx.UccxRealm"/>
       </Context>


        </Host>
    </Engine>

  </Service>

But when we try to navigate to a servlet mapped to the URL pattern
/appadmin/Main (specified in web.xml), we are not able to reach it

using

http://hostname:6293/appadmin/Main. We still have to use
http://hostname:6293/appadmin/appadmin/Main

The same use to work in Tomcat 3.2. We are in the process of migrating

to

tomcat 5.5.
Also we are using form based authentication where the url pattern is
specified as /appadmin/* as most of our URL patterns start with

/appadmin/..

in web.xml
Any idea on what we are doing wrong?
Regards
Aakriti
