http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5843 Web application installed with Tomcat manager is lost after shutdown when using unpackWARs = false. Summary: Web application installed with Tomcat manager is lost after shutdown when using unpackWARs = false. Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.1 Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I found this problem while I was trying to work around the bugzilla bug id = 5680. Part of the work around I was trying involved turning off unpacking of WAR files, (unpackWARs="false") for the Host defined in my server.xml file. I expected to be able to: - install a web application using the Tomcat 4 manager from a local war file. - shutdown Tomcat 4 - startup Tomcat 4 - have the web application available (running) again. The problem is: - I found that after startup, Tomcat 4 'forgets' that the web application was installed. I have repeated the procedure with 3 different web applications - each time with the same result. I have included full steps to reproduce this problem below. 1. Single virtual host defined in server.xml file. Set unpackWARs flag to false so Tomcat doesn't unpack WAR files. <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="false"> 2. work directory contains no files before startup. 3. webapps directory contains only 1 web application (manager). manager -- WEB-INF ---- web.xml 4. Startup tomcat. 5. manager application (http://localhost/manager/list) shows the following web applications. OK - Listed applications for virtual host localhost /manager:running:0 6. install NewW3Menu application (http://localhost/manager/install? path=/NewW3Menu&war=jar:file:/home/user/NewW3Menu.war!/). OK - Installed application at context path /NewW3Menu 7. work directory contains: localhost -- NewW3Menu ---- WEB-INF ------ classes -------- log4j.xml -------- uk ---------- gov ------------ bristol_city -------------- w3menu ---------------- ControllerServlet.class ---------------- MenuGraphicsPage.class ---------------- TopGraphicsPage.class ---------------- frame_graphics.class ---------------- menu_text.class ---------------- top_touchscreen.class ---------------- FrameGraphicsPage.class ---------------- MenuTextPage.class ---------------- TopMinimisedPage.class ---------------- frame_minimised.class ---------------- menu_touchscreen.class ---------------- FrameMinimisedPage.class ---------------- MenuTouchscreenPage.class ---------------- TopTouchscreenPage.class ---------------- frame_touchscreen.class ---------------- top_graphics.class ---------------- FrameTouchscreenPage.class ---------------- Page.class ---------------- UrlOps.class ---------------- menu_graphics.class ---------------- top_minimised.class ------ lib -------- ChainedException_classes.jar -------- Tools_classes.jar -------- hsql.jar -------- log4j.jar -------- servlet.jar -------- xerces.jar -------- StandardServlet_classes.jar -------- adabasd.jar -------- jdbc2_0-stdext.jar -------- poolman.jar -------- w3m_classes.jar -------- xmlc.jar -- manager 8. webapps directory still contains only 1 web application (manager). manager -- WEB-INF ---- web.xml 9. When the application is called from a web browser, it works. 10. Tomcat is shutdown. 11. In the work directory, two files have been added (SESSIONS.ser). localhost -- NewW3Menu ---- SESSIONS.ser -- manager ---- SESSIONS.ser 12. Tomcat is started up. 13. Manager application (http://localhost/manager/list) shows that NewW3Menu application is no longer running. OK - Listed applications for virtual host localhost /manager:running:0 13. Attempt to call NewW3Menu web application returns the following error: HTTP Status 500 - No Context configured to process this request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
