I've been developing an application with this structure of directories
Care to tell us the version of Tomcat you're using? Or should we just guess?
The above is incorrect; set it up like this:
mydir/html/ROOT
mydir/html/ROOT/WEB-INF
mydir/html/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes
mydir/html/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib
mydir/html/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml
At server.xml I've included this host:
<Host name="myhost.es" appBase="/myhost/html" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
With the above directory changes, your <Host> settings are o.k.
<Context path="" reloadable="true" docBase="/myhost/html"/>
The <Context> is completely wrong:
1) Don't put <Context> elements in server.xml - that's extremely bad practice
unless you're using an ancient level of Tomcat.
2) The <Context> element should be in the webapp's META-INF/context.xml file;
in your case, that will be mydir/html/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml.
3) The docBase attribute (when used, which is rarely) must *never* be the same
as appBase.
4) For your case, the path and docBase attributes are not allowed when the
<Context> element is in the proper location; remove them.
And everything works fine.
Not really; there are bugs in certain versions of Tomcat that make it appear to
work. You're also getting double application deployment and have serious
security holes with your current setup.
What I've done es to take the directory mydir/html and create the
html.war.
Change the name to ROOT.war.
Then I changed the host by this one:
<Host name="myhost.es" appBase="/myhost" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
The above is o.k.
<Context path="" reloadable="true" docBase="/myhost/html"/>
This is bad, for the reasons stated above. Correct it as noted above.
What I don't get in all this, is how it works, what with the application
located in /mydir/html and the Tomcat appBase in /myhost/html.
What version of Tomcat is that ? It's *really* smart.
