Hi, I've been asked to move an application from glassfish to tomcat. I have added some roles
<role rolename="tomcat"/> <role rolename="manager-gui"/> <role rolename="manager-script"/> <role rolename="manager-jmx"/> <role rolename="manager-status"/> <role rolename="admin-gui"/> <role rolename="admin-script"/> and users for the corresponding roles <user username="tomcat" password="secret" roles="tomcat"/> <user username="manager" password="secret" roles="manager-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,manager-status"/> <user username="admin" password="secret" roles="admin-gui"/> I have then deployed the application war file using the manager. The application is supposed to take json POST requests, related to a path on the host filesystem such as /opt/app/app_data/datafile . The POST requests work on the old glassfish deployed application. However the POST requests do not seem to work on the tomcat deployed application. Instead I get a 403. I looked through the tomcat logs folder, but only saw the POST request, and nothing regarding the 403. Can anybody offer some advice. I would like to note that I had nothing to do with the development of the application. I'm just the poor sap who has been asked to put it into production. cat web.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"; xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd";> <listener> <listener-class>com.sdl.sap.web.context.JodaContextListener</listener-class> </listener> <listener> <listener-class>com.sdl.sap.hlab.api.GuiceSetup</listener-class> </listener> <filter> <filter-name>guiceFilter</filter-name> <filter-class>com.google.inject.servlet.GuiceFilter</filter-class> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>guiceFilter</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> </web-app>
