Hello to all, I am using Tomcat 7.0.29 (from ZIP got at Tomcat Apache site), Oracle Linux 6.4 and want to deploy "myapp" to ROOT context using virtualhost. My actual settings is according Tomcat documentation
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html#Naming If you want to deploy a WAR file or a directory using a context path that is not related to the base file name then one of the following options must be used to prevent double-deployment: a) Disable autoDeploy and deployOnStartup and define all Contexts in server.xml b) Locate the WAR and/or directory outside of the Host's appBase and use a context.xml file with a docBase attribute to define it. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html#Defining_a_context Individual Context elements may be explicitly defined: A. In an individual file at /META-INF/context.xml inside the application files. Optionally (based on the Host's copyXML attribute) this may be copied to $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ and renamed to application's base file name plus a ".xml" extension. B. In individual files (with a ".xml" extension) in the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory. The context path and version will be derived from the base name of the file (the file name less the .xml extension). This file will always take precedence over any context.xml file packaged in the web application's META-INF directory. C. Inside a Host element in the main conf/server.xml. Application "myapp" should be 1. Deployed with context path="" 2. Named myapp.war (not ROOT.war) 3. In unpacked WAR file META-INF/context.xml should not be edited. 4. Should be unpacked/deployed only once. To fulfill above tasks, I have - Defined virtualhost named "myapphostname" with appbasedir $CATALINA_HOME/myapp_dst (dst from destination) - Placed myapp.war to folder $CATALINA_HOME/myapp_src (src from source) - Created file $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/myapphost/ROOT.xml with context path="" docBase=$CATALINA_HOME/myapp_src/myapp.war - As you can see, options b) and B. were chosen. I expected myapp.war to be unpacked to host appBase, i.e. in $CATALINA_HOME/myapp_dst, either to $CATALINA_HOME/myapp_dst/ROOT or $CATALINA_HOME/myapp_dst/myapp, but it was not unpacked, however myapp is running from WAR. What should be changed in config files or directory structure to let myapp.war to be unpacked? === directory structure (only relevant files) === $CATALINA_BASE |-- bin |-- conf | |-- Catalina | | |-- localhost | | `-- myapphost | | `-- ROOT.xml | |-- catalina.policy | |-- catalina.properties | |-- context.xml | |-- logging.properties | |-- server.xml | |-- tomcat-users.xml | `-- web.xml |-- lib |-- LICENSE |-- logs |-- NOTICE |-- myapp_dst | |-- mysecondapp | `-- mysecondapp.war |-- myapp_src | `-- myapp.war |-- RELEASE-NOTES |-- temp |-- webapps `-- work === server.xml === <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="myapphost"> <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.LockOutRealm"> <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm" resourceName="UserDatabase"/> </Realm> <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt" pattern="%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b" /> </Host> <Host name="myapphost" appBase="myapp_dst" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"> </Host> </Engine> === $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/okbasehost/ROOT.xml === <Context path="" docBase="/opt/programs/tomcat7b/myapp_src/myapp.war" /> I will be happy if you can help me.
