Dear All,
I need an urgent help, and I hope you will shed some light to it. I have recently installed Apache Tomcat version 6.0.20. I copied my project file (test.war) under /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/webapps/ and it deployed successfully. I can access the site via the URL of <http://localhost:8080/ms3/> http://localhost:8080/test/. For this example, the context path simply follows the filename of the war file. There is a new requirement to setup multi-level context path as in I need the URL to be <http://localhost:8080/sg/server/test/> http://localhost:8080/sg/server/test/ instead. I read up your site and confirmed that adding Context path within server.xml is not recommended. I went ahead to make a copy of the existing test.xml to sg#server#test.xml under /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/conf/Catalina/localhost/. Then I restarted Tomcat. The content of sg#server#test is: <Context path="/test" debug="99" reloadable="true" antiJARLocking="true" antiResourceLocking="false"> <!--Resource name="jdbc/test" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" username="MS3_STL" password="password" url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.0.37:1521:MS3" defaultAutoCommit="true" removeAbandoned="true" removeAbandonedTimeout="60" logAbandoned="true"/--> </Context> I restarted Tomcat but it gives errors under Catalina.out Aug 17, 2009 5:54:43 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext resourcesStart SEVERE: Error starting static Resources java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base /usr/local/apache-tomcat/webapps/sg#server#test does not exist or is not a readable directory at org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext.setDocBase(FileDirContext.java:14 2) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.resourcesStart(StandardContext.java :4048) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4217) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:7 91) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:771) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:526) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptor(HostConfig.java:630) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptors(HostConfig.java:556 ) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployApps(HostConfig.java:491) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.start(HostConfig.java:1206) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.lifecycleEvent(HostConfig.java:314) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSuppor t.java:119) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1053) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:722) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1045) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:443) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:516) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:710) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:583) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39 ) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl .java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:288) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:413) Aug 17, 2009 5:54:43 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start SEVERE: Error in resourceStart() Aug 17, 2009 5:54:43 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start SEVERE: Error getConfigured Aug 17, 2009 5:54:43 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start SEVERE: Context [/sg/server/test] startup failed due to previous errors Aug 17, 2009 5:54:43 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext stop INFO: Container org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/sg/server/te st] has not been started Aug 17, 2009 5:54:43 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol start INFO: Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-6060 Aug 17, 2009 5:54:43 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol start INFO: Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-6443 Aug 17, 2009 5:54:43 PM org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket init INFO: JK: ajp13 listening on /0.0.0.0:6009 Aug 17, 2009 5:54:43 PM org.apache.jk.server.JkMain start INFO: Jk running ID=0 time=0/40 config=null Aug 17, 2009 5:54:43 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start INFO: Server startup in 18859 ms I have searched the Internet and couldn't find any posts with solutions to such issue. It seems that setting up multi-level context path in Tomcat 6 is not so straight-forwarded. Please kindly help, thanks. Best Regards, Andy Ee
