I'm using JUnit test cases to exercise my web service using embedded Tomcat. Under Tomcat 6 everything was working fine, but when I switched my project to Tomcat 7 I'm coming unstuck. The code I was using for Tomcat 6: ******** Embedded container = new Embedded(); container.setCatalinaHome("C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 7.0.11"); container.setRealm(new MemoryRealm()); container.setName("Catalina"); Engine engine = container.createEngine(); container.addEngine(engine); Host host = container.createHost("localhost", "/DecoderServiceTest"); Context rootContext = container.createContext("/DecoderServiceTest", System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/build/web"); host.addChild(rootContext); engine.setName("Catalina"); engine.addChild(host); engine.setDefaultHost("localhost"); container.addEngine(engine); Connector connector = container.createConnector(InetAddress.getLocalHost(), 4321, false); container.addConnector(connector); container.start(); ******** I've changed my code to use the new org.apache.catalina.startup.Tomcat class (available in Tomcat 7) as follows: ****** Tomcat tomcat = new Tomcat(); tomcat.setBaseDir("C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 7.0.11"); tomcat.setPort(1234); tomcat.addWebApp("/DecoderServiceTest", System.getProperty("user.dir")+"/build/web"); tomcat.setHostname("localhost"); tomcat.start(); ****** The web application works when deployed to Tomcat 7 (in a non-embedded state - obviously not using any of the above code), but when I run it as an embedded server using the above Tomcat 7 code, I get JNDI InitialContext complaints. The constructor of my web service does the usual calls to setup a Context as follows: ******** Context initCtx = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env"); int thumbnailSize = (Integer) envCtx.lookup("thumbnail-pixel-size"); ******** but I receive a NamingException with the message that "Name java:comp is not bound in this Context" when I try and create the envCtx variable. I assume that I've missed a configuration parameter in the setup of the embedded Tomcat 7 server but I haven't been able to put my finger on it. Can anyone suggest what I can try? I'm using Tomcat 7.0.11, Windows XP SP3 and NetBeans 7.0 Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
