Hi all I have searched the archives and has seen many posting on this but still need more information.
Right now, I use Eclipse as my IDE. When a project is ready for testing I export to a WAR and use Tomcat's GUI Manager "WAR file to deploy" option to deploy my application to my server. So far, I have been setting up a context.xml file under META-INF in which I don't specify a path or docBase. This works and as expected the application deploys under the webapps folder (the default). What do I have to do to have the application reside in a physical directory outside of webapps, for example, /data0/tomcat/home. Make changes to the existing context.xml? Do I have to remove this xml and create it under CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost with the name of the app? My understanding is that if I add the docBase attribute specifying a physical directory that should be all that is required but in both cases above this do not work. Maybe it is because I can't simply deploy using the Tomcat Manager the way I use to do it. Sample of testApp.xml below <Context debug="0" antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false" reloadable="true" docBase="/data0/tomcat/home"> <Resource name="jdbc/hrm" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" ... /> </Context> Any help is greatly appreciated.
