Correct. > That is what I had. I had the ROOT app off the webapps folder of a > default Tomcat install. No, that ROOT app applied only to the default <Host> - no others. Each <Host> has an entirely separate and independent set of webapps. > We then created a virtual host (with a real domain name) where OUR > app responded to that domain name. (ie Host Name : www.myapp.com > appBase = c:/myapp) No, an app is not equivalent to a domain (<Host>) name. As stated previously by several of us, the ROOT app for the particular <Host> will handle any requests directed to the <Host> that do not map to any other apps *for that <Host>*. Again, each <Host> is completely independent of the others. > Everything in this config has worked for a couple years. The infamous > Proofs folder was located in c:/myapp/Proofs which I assume c:/myapp > to be the "web root" for this www.myapp.com host. Whatever you had working appears to have been dumb luck, and dependent on undefined behavior of having an empty docBase (which is illegal). > After suggestions from the forum about moving the app (WEB_INF and > all) under a ROOT folder I added to c:/myapp folder which now contains > everything for the app under it, viola, Filter Mapping started to work ! Because you were finally using a valid configuration. > Do people have secondary app (after ROOT) setup like I described above > running with filter mapping functioning ? Sure. The filter mapping goes into the WEB-INF/web.xml of the webapp, regardless of the webapp's name. > Seems like maybe a bug to me or a misconfiguration of some > sort on my part. Misconfiguration, and misunderstanding of the independence of <Host> elements along with the proper use of appBase and the derivation of each app's docBase. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
