Borut,
your instructions were spot on. I was able to track down my docBase
folder (it was specified in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/servlet.xml <context>,
and I verified that it's the correct location by adding some context
parameters to the web.xml in my docBase, and then retrieving them from
a JSP.
Now I have another problem though. For some reason, my
DispatcherSetvlet (for the spring framework) is not being loaded at
all. I tried placing the piece of XML below in the
$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml and my docBase/WEB-INF/web.xml. I also
specified invalid fully qualified name for my DispatcherServlet to get
some kind of exception, but I don't get anything. Is there anything
that would prevent this servlet from being loaded?
<servlet>
<servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
It's ridiculous because some time ago when I placed it in
$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml I was getting the exception below, and
that's the reason why I wanted to know where my docBase is in the
first place. Now that I know where it is, the DispatcherServlet
doesn't seem to be loaded at all. Is there anything that would prevent
this servlet from being loaded?
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionSt oreException:
IOException parsing XML document from ServletContext resource
[/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml]; nested exception is
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource
[/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml]
Thanks,
Aurir_
