http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17970 Webapp contexts deployed twice when multi-level context path is specified Summary: Webapp contexts deployed twice when multi-level context path is specified Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.1.18 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When a webapp with a multi-level context path (i.e. "/tomcat/myapp" as opposed to "/myapp") is auto-deployed by placing an xml file containing its Context element into the appBase directory, and the server.xml file also contains a Context element for the same webapp, Tomcat erroneously tries to deploy the webapp twice. This results in a slew of logged exceptions when Tomcat attempts to deploy the second copy of the webapp using the same context path as the first copy. This situation happens frequently when the Tomcat admin webapp is used to commit changes - upon commit a Context element is written to the server.xml file for each webapp, including auto-deployed ones. When the server is restarted, the exceptions occur. Code in the auto-deployer's deployDescriptors() method should catch and silently ignore the second attempt to deploy the webapp, but the code in that method incorrectly calculates the context path to search for by appending the name of the xml file (minus the .xml extension) to "/". In the case described above this results in a check to see if "/myapp" is deployed. Since the application was really deployed as "/tomcat/myapp" after the server.xml file was parsed, the auto-deployer check assumes the app has not yet been deployed and then tries to deploy a second copy. The right way to fix this is for the deployDescriptors() method to pull the contextPath attribute from the Context element in the xml file and use that to determine if the webapp has already been deployed. I have attached diffs for a working solution, but you may want to pull the code for creating a Context object from an xml file into a utility class somewhere for general use. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
