As Chuck points out, no: C:\FilterTest\ROOT is the "server root" for ft.com. Remember, Tomcat isn't a web server: it's an app server. > Is seems to work that way for us although it may not be the correct way > to deploy a web app. I suspect what's happening is that you have a layout like this: C:\FilterTest C:\FilterTest\WEB-INF C:\FilterTest\WEB-INF\web.xml C:\FilterTest\Proofs C:\FilterTest\Proofs\[content] Tomcat, seeing that a directory called \Proofs exists, is deploying it as it's own web application, and the DefaultServlet is serving all your content correctly. Since /Proofs doesn't have a WEB-INF/web.xml file, your filter is not being created and it's not being called. I'll bet that you can also request this file: http://ft.com/WEB-INF/web.xml Here, Tomcat will serve this file that might be expected to be protected because /WEB-INF looks like a (poorly-named) web application and not a proper deployment descriptor directory in a proper web app. > 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. You need to fix your deployments, or nothing is going to make sense. If you want your webapp to be deployed without a leading path (i.e. on / instead of /foo), then you need to name your webapp ROOT.war (or put it in the ROOT subdirectory under your appBase directory). > It starting to sound like the complete URL has to be part of > %CATALINAHOME%'s path to get a filter hit ? No, this is not true. If your webapp is properly deployed, your relative URIs will be properly mapped and your filter will get called. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAktHnmUACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCjzQCgvPHG6/1ZwJ0iyZrHj/coqoLW R20AoJJ0RXVvIdMHJ+mofNRo92EvUu0e =8MkQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
