Hi
I am experiencing a very peculiar issue when migrating from Apache
Tomcat 4.1.x (Apache 1.3.27) to 5.5.23 (Apache 2.2.3) on Red hat Linux
5.
The issue is Tomcat 5.5.x looks for a servlet file under server’s
physical file system and reporting HTTP 404 error rather than going to
the servlet mapping in web.xml. Tomcat 4.1.x doesn’t have this
problem. I am searching all support group from past many weeks and
still not able to resolve this issue.
Application Structure:
ROOT
------testapp
-------test
----index.html
----WEB-INF
-------classes
-------HelloServlet.class
WEB-INF\web.xml configuration:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>HelloServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/test/hello.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Httpd.conf configuration:
<VirtualHost …>
DocumentRoot /var/www/testapp
Alias /test /var/www/testapp/
JkMount /*.do ajp13
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
</VirtualHost>
When I browse http://192.168.1.23/test/hello.do I get “HTTP Status 404
- /test/hello.do, the requested resource (/test/hello.do) is not
available”. In my synopsis when Tomcat 5.5.x looks at the URL it is
first going to a folder called ‘test’ and looking for a file called
‘hello.do’ in the folder rather than going into web.xml first. The
above structure and configuration just works just fine on Tomcat
4.1.x. Also, I didn’t see any mention of this change on the Tomcat
change logs.
I would really appreciate your help in resolving this issue on Tomcat 5.5.x.
Please Note:
1. If I change the url-pattern to <url-pattern>/hello.do</url-pattern>
in web.xml the servlet call works but changing the entire application
this way is beyond my scope.
2. I have tried a work around by defining sub-context in the
server.xml, this works fine except that the sessions defined in parent
app and sub-context app is not accessible to each other since both are
in the different contexts. I know that there are mechanisms available
to share the session between the different contexts but it is again
beyond my scope to change the application in this pattern.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Regards
Sriganesh
