Hi, I'm using embedded tomcat(7.0.14) in one of my application. I have extended Tomcat class and used that to add webapps by calling the addWebapp method. Everything works accordingly. But this way, if a webapp contains a context.xml(META-INF/context.xml) within, it is not getting read by embedded tomcat.
Then after some investigation i found the following to set the contextXml file programmatically. According to the API documentation, addWebapp method returns the Context for the added webapp [1]. So what i did later is, i used this Context to set the contextXml file by calling setConfigFile method. But still i'm unable to get tomcat to read webapp specific context files. In Both occasions, the error i'm getting is, javax.naming.NamingException: Cannot create resource instance at org.apache.naming.factory.ResourceEnvFactory.getObjectInstance(ResourceEnvFactory.java:117) at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getObjectInstance(NamingManager.java:304) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:826) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:145) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:814) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:159) at org.kishan.j2ee.sample.servlet.MyServlet.doGet(MyServlet.java:49) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:621) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:722) What i'm trying to achieve is defining webapp specific resources in the contextXml file and use them in the respective webapps. So what would be the correct way to get embedded tomcat to load the contextXml file specific to webapps? Thanks, Kishanthan.
