Hello guys,
I am using tomcat version 6.0.29. The tomcat is deployed on the OS
Linux.
I created a war file named ROOT.war and dropped it under the tomcat
"webapps" folder. The WAR consists of JSP, JAR, XML and static files
like
images, javascript and CSS.
The tomcat expanded the WAR file properly and I was able to get to the
dynamic files of my application through the URL. However what I
noticed was
that all the static files are not fetched from the server. I get 404
error
in my firebug (Using firefox as my browser).
And the dynamic files are shown correctly, no problem with that. Even
my
application is making the database call and making right transaction
with it
Can someone please help me in resolving the issue? Is there any
configuration that needs to be done on the tomcat server. To let you
all
know, this is the first time I am working on the tomcat 6 version.
To my knowledge, there is nothing "special" in terms of configuration
required to allow Tomcat to serve static files, if they are in the
right
place.
(Of course, this applies to a "standard" Tomcat downloaded from
tomcat.apache.org; things may be different for pre-packaged Tomcat's
from
other sources).
To get more help, you will need to provide some additional information.
Since you are using firebug, you should be able to see which exact URL
the
browser requests for one of these static elements.
Give us an example, and also tell us the path of this same element on
disk.
What may also help is the content of the ./WEB-INF/web.xml file of your
application, and the ./META-INF/context.xml if there is one (all
comments
and passwords removed).
And also tell us where you got your Tomcat from, and where you find
Tomcat's
"server.xml" file.
I'd say, first, configure an AccessLogValve and give the output of it.
Tomcat definitely cannot find the requested files and there has to be
a reason for it.
There is certainly a reason, but we don't know yet if it is really Tomcat
sending the 404
replies.
The access log would help, presuming the requests really go to that same
Tomcat.
But the firebug data should tell us that.
Rajkumar, this way :

Then, in your server.xml, uncomment this section :
<!--<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
directory="logs"
prefix="tomcat_access." suffix=".log" pattern="common"
resolveHosts="false"/>-->
That will make Francis happy. :-)
Then, answer ny other questions :
- what is a request URL for one of these static files, as firebug clearly shows it for the
request line ? (I mean, paste that URL here please)
- what is the path on disk of that same file ?
