If I use a host name of ft.com with a appBase of c:/FilterTest then
doesn't c:/FilterTest become my web server root for ft.com?
Is seems to work that way for us although it may not be the correct
way to deploy a web app. The proofs folder is
just that a folder off the (Our c:/FilterTest) web root and we are
try to get a "filter mapping" hit when you type
http://ft.com/Proofs/1/calendar.png.
If you deploy an app off of %CATALINAHOME% then doesn't the user have
to type http://my.domainname.com/myapp ?
I want it to hit my app when I type http://my.domainname.com. That is
how it works with our product today.
It starting to sound like the complete URL has to be part of %
CATALINAHOME%'s path to get a filter hit ?
Thanks

I could not get it to work using our shipping configuration
which is appBase pointing to a folder off the c:\ drive.
That's because you don't seem to understand the function of
appBase: it doesn't point to a single webapp, it points to a
*directory* under which each of your webapps is installed. For
example, the single <Host> in the default Tomcat config is
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps, and under webapps, you'll find ROOT,
manager, docs, examples, etc.
You appear to have placed your webapp named Proofs under the
default <Host>'s appBase, and everything works as expected. To use
the webapp under the appBase of the ft.com <Host>, place the Proofs
directory (or .war file) under the declared C:\FilterTest directory:
C:\FilterTest\
Proofs\
WEB-INF\
lib\
classes\
META-INF\
context.xml
etc.
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>FileAccessFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/Proofs/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
The <url-pattern> must not include the context name; it should
really be just /*.
