Hi list!
It seems that I have not yet understood the concept of webapps,
contexts, servlet mappings etc. I have a long experience with good old
Apache web server, but I'm quite new to servlet development / deployment
in general and Tomcat in particular.
My problem is as follows: I have a Tomcat 5.5 server with the
out-of-the-box configuration. And I have a webapp which is packed in a
war file, say "MyWebApp.war". This file contains some classes (servlets)
in the "WEB-INF/classes" directory, a "web.xml" file in "WEB-INF" and a
"context.xml" in "META-INF". I have write access to the "webapps"
directory of the server (but only to this directory), so I can place the
war file there. Tomcat (having "autoDeploy" enabled) then creates a
directory "MyWebApp" in the "webapps" directory and extracts everything
from the war file to this directory. After this has been done, I can
find my servlets at the url "http://127.0.0.1:8080/MyWebApp/...";
Ok, this works fine. But now I want my servlets to be accessible at
"http://127.0.0.1:8080/foo/bar/MyWebApp/...";. How can I achieve this? I
have tried to create the directory structure in the "webapps" directory
and put the war file into "webapps/foo/bar", but then Tomcat doesn't
unpack the war file at all. Simply changing the "path" attribute of the
"Context" element in my "context.xml" file didn't work, too.
Is this possible at all if I only have access to the "webapps" directory
(and not, for example, to the manager application)?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Christian
My context.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/MyWebApp"/>
My web.xml file:
