Where is the web.xml file in Tomcat 5.5

hi folks,
i made a small appl in Tomcat 5.5 named "Name". I made a WEB-INF folder inside the Name folder (which obv is inside the webapps folder), which inside had the classes and lib folder. After running the application where do i look for the web.xml file controlling my appl?
thanx in advance..

well, the web.xml file must be done for you. Its specific to your project, you wont find in on other folders of tomcat.

  • Configuring a JNDI ressource in the web.xml file

    Hi,
    does someone know if there is a way to configure a JNDI ressource with its parameters only in the web.xml file ?
    In my case, the JNDI ressouce is an oracle database an its conenction paramters: driverClassName, username, password, etc...
    Actually, I put everything in the configuration file of Tomcat but I would like my war file to be 100% independent of the application server.
    Thanks in advance.
    Fred.

    I'm pretty sure you can't do it that way round. The logic of the thing is that database access URLs etc. tend to depend on the where the server is. The whole idea of these resources is to put the stuff that's specific to the server in server.xml and refer to it using names that should remain the same if you deploy your webapp on another server. Of, for example, you have test, stage and production servers running the same webapps but connecting to different databases.

    I wrestled with this for a long time. I may have done something wrong, but to get my mySQL JDNI reference to work, I had to add it to the server.xml file. You can try with web.xml, but I eventually just got frustrated and put it in server.xml.
    The following is between two <context> tags:
    <Resource name="jdbc/instance_name_goes_here"

  • Automate creation of web.xml file for tomcat 4.1.29

    hi , this is with ref to Tomcat 4.1.29, if i am correct, each Servlet in the application has to be mentioned in the web.xml file for the Tomcat to know about it.

  • JSP compiler reading the web.xml file?

    Hi,
              I am trying to use the weblogic JSP compiler (weblogic.jspc) to
              pre-compile some JSP that use custom tags. Does the compiler
              read the web.xml file if there is one? In particular the taglib
              elements in that file so that the compiler understands the
              <%@ taglib ... %> directive.
              In the JSP I try to compile I use this statement to declare a taglib:
              <%@ taglib uri="xyz/xyz-taglib" prefix="xyz" %>
              and in my web.xml I have:
              <taglib>
              <taglib-uri>xyz/xyz-taglib</taglib-uri>
              <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/xyz.tld</taglib-location>
              </taglib>
              When I try to compile the JSP I get the following error:
              Could not parse embedded JSP code: weblogic.utils.ParsingException: nested
              IOException: java.io.IOException: cannot resolve 'xyz/xyz-taglib' into a
              valid tag library.
              Any ideas how I can resolve this?
              In advance thank you for any help.

  • Whats the purpose of the web.xml file?

    Hi
    What is the purpose of the web.xml fle?
    and does it have any impact on deployment?
    I get this msg when I am compiling .
    ignoring C:\JDeveloper9iRC\jdev\mywork\MIS_IntranetWS\mis_intranet\public_html\WEB-INF\web.xml; not on sourcepath
    I cannot deploy but for what reason I don't know. Am wondering if this is related at all
    Thanks

    The web.xml file is the standard deployment descriptor for a J2EE web application (or "web module" when it is part of a J2EE Application). The full details of what the web.xml is for is described in the Servlet 2.2 spec (if you're using J2EE 1.2) or the Servlet 2.3 spec (if you're using J2EE 1.3). You can download the Servlet spec from http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html
    The web.xml file is used when deploying a WAR file to a J2EE app server. However the message you cite isn't indicating a deployment failure. When you get a deployment failure, you should see a message in the JDev Log Window indicating the reason for the failure. Be sure the Log Window is visible by selecting View | Log Window from the main menu.

  • Trouble adding alias to the web.xml file (External Facing Portal)

    I'm trying to implement the external facing portal. I don't really have any real custom content to add to it but have just created an iView that contains a webpage that's contained within a copy of the light framework.
    I'm having trouble adding or accessing the alias that I've created to go to this iView.
    I can test my iView by adding it to the master rule collection under one of the predefined aliases in the web.xml (e.g. portal/anonymous etc) but when i define my own (e.g. "ext" etc) and then go to http://portal:<port>/irj/ext I'm just getting an error:
      The requested resource does not exist.
      Details:   Go to main page of this application!
    This is what my entry in the web.xml file looks like:
    <web-app>
    <display-name>The Java iView Runtime</display-name>
    <listener>
    <listener-class>
    com.sapportals.portal.prt.session.HttpSessionHandler
    </listener-class>
    </listener>
    <servlet>
    <servlet>
    <init-param>
       <param-name>
          portal/anonymous
       </param-name>
       <param-value>
    anonymous=1,proxy=0,low_bandwidth=0,include_in_url=1,include_application_name_in_url=1
       </param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>
       ext
      </param-name>
      <param-value>
    anonymous=1,proxy=0,low_bandwidth=1,include_in_url=1,include_application_name_in_url=1
      </param-value>
    <init-param>
    </servlet>
    My master rule collection seems to be correct, since I can test the iView etc by adding it to a predefined alias. I've tried closing all browsers etc. Nothing seems to work.
    Any ideas what this could be?
    Thanks!
    I'll award points for any help.

    Hi Beau
    Just Have a try.
    In the servlet mapping add the following entry.
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name> gateway </servlet-name>
    <url-pattern> /portal/* </url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <b><servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name> gateway </servlet-name>
    <url-pattern> /ext/* </url-pattern>

    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name> prt </servlet-name>
    <url-pattern> /irj/* </url-pattern>

    Restart after making the changes.

  • Do I must put ALL my servlets inside the web.xml file?

    Hello everybody,
    I am trying to migrate from Webshere to TOMCAT a project with severals packets, one of those have 15 servlets and some classes.
    Is there any way to use the servlets without have to declare each one inside the web.xlm file ?
    Thanks in advance.

    All servlet definitions go into web.xml, though not the actual servlets themselves :) . Say if you wanted servlet A to have a different mapping you would define the mapping in web.xml to something other than the standard one.

  • How to avoid inserting CheckSessionFilter in to the web.xml file?

    Mobile Server modifies the web.xml during adding a .war-file to the publication. A new entry- CheckSessionFilter will be inserted inside the web.xml after uploading to the mobile server:
    ****************** inserted part **********************
    <filter>
    <filter-name>CheckSessionFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>oracle.lite.web.CheckSessionFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>CheckSessionFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
    ****************** inserted part **********************
    Our application has own security-concept and don’t need this additional session checking.
    How can we avoid including of CheckSessionFilter in to our web.xml?

    Don't do "add a war option" Instead, package your application using packaging wizard omitting the filter. Or, you can edit the WEB-INF/web.xml file on the mobile server after you deploy it.
    Make you update the APPLICATIONS table
    UPDATE APPLICATIONS
    SET PUBLISH_TIME = SYSDATE
    WHERE NAME = 'you application';
    You application will be uploaded to:
    STANDALONE
    ORACLE_HOME/mobile_oc4j/j2ee/application/mobileserver/applications/yourapplication/WEB-INF/web.xml
    IAS
    ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/application/mobileserver/applications/yourapplication/WEB-INF/web.xml
