Tomcat 5.5.7 and context.xml

I am having difficulty corrcetly setting up the context.xml file. Perhaps someone can shed some insight as to how to do this...
I have a .war file called myWar.war I place this in the webapps directory
I want to use a path of a/b to access it.
so, if my browser url is
http://localhost:8080/a/b/html/index.html it will actually access webapp/myWar/html/index.html
I keep reading things that confuse me as to how to do this. Do I need something called context.xml, ROOT.xml, or myWar.xml. Also do I place it in the conf/Catalina/localhost directory r in the myWar/Meta-Inf directory
thank you

I remember reading something about the path value not being recognized for 5.5.x . It seems to validate it in the documentation below. I don't know how to 'fix' it though...
"The context path of this web application, which is matched against the beginning of each request URI to select the appropriate web application for processing. All of the context paths within a particular Host must be unique. If you specify a context path of an empty string (""), you are defining the default web application for this Host, which will process all requests not assigned to other Contexts. The value of this field must not be set except when statically defining a Context in server.xml, as it will be infered from the filenames used for either the .xml context file or the docBase."

Apache server - tomcat - jk, virtual hosts, database/context.xml question?

Hello,
I have an web application that runs perfectly in Tomcat 5.5 when running tomcat stand-alone.
I also have Apache HTTP server integrated with Tomcat using the jk connector and running virtual hosts in a mod_jk.conf file, which is working for html files. When I run apache and tomcat at the same time, the jsp opens but the servlet cannot get a database connection.
To run virtual hosts and apache and tomcat, I added this host container to server.xml:
<Host name="www.mydomain.com" debug="0" appBase="d:/WebApps/mydomain"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<Context path="" docBase="" debug="0"/>
</Host>
Does anybody see anything wrong with this? Is there some reason why the context.xml (which contains the database info) is not being read?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Logan

Hi,
In the docmentation of Tomcat 5.x is written that is not recommended to put <context> element in the server.xml file. Create a file in CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/www.mydomain.com/ with an XML extension. For example context.xml. In files like this you should write all of your <context> elements.

META-INF/context.xml, Tomcat, META-INF/services

I presently have a Netbeans project laid out like this:
src
src\java
web
web\META-INF
web\META-INF\context.xml
etc. Tomcat finds that META-INF/context.xml OK and does what I expect with it.
I have recently added something that is loaded by java.util.ServiceLoader, which requires a META-INF/services/x.y.z file containing the name(s) of the classes that implement x.y.z. After deployment, my webapp's ServiceLoader doesn't find it, because in the target it isn't in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/services/x.y.z. If I put it into src/java/META-INF/services/x.y.z it works correctly, as it then ends up in the right place. However I'm now concerned that either Tomcat won't find the context.xml if I put it in the same place under src, because it would then not be in /META-INF/context.xml but rather /WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/context.xml, which in turn would mean that I would then need two META-INF directories. I'm about to test that conjecture about Tomcat finding it under WEB-INF/classes/META-INF, but I'm wondering whether I'm doing something basically wrong in the first place here.

You seem to think that you can have only one META-INF directory; this is simply not true. Keep both your META-INF directories and put the files where they are expected. Yay for using overlapping names :/

Tomcat 5.x, context.xml and the caseSensitive attribute.

Hi,
I have already configured a context.xml file in the CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost with the following content:
<Context path="/mysite" docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/mysite" reloadable="true"/>
It is working, because the servlets can be reloaded after a modification. My goal is to make the URL recognition of the server for may web application case-insensitive. There is an attribute caseSensitive in the <Context> element? Is that right? And this can turn off case-sensitivity of this web application. This means it should also affect the URL recognition. But wen I change the line in the context.xml to
<Context path="/mysite" docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/mysite" reloadable="true" caseSensitive="false"/>
and try to access the URL with different case then the original it does not find the page. Is this the right place to put the caseSensitive attribute?

i am posting the Car.xml which i created in
/conf/catalina/localhost directory in Tomcat 5.5.7
?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Context path ="/Car" docBase="C:\Program
Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\webapps\Car" debug="0" />Rather than have you working directory under webapps, you can have it elsewhere in your system and refer to it using the docBase attribute. For example, say you have your work directory in d:\work\car,
then
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Context path ="/Car" docBase="d:/work/car" />would suffice.
cheers,

Context.xml for Tomcat using Weblogic JMS

Hello,
 has anyone succeeded in getting Tomcat to use a queue hosted by Weblogic? If so, could you please post a snippet of your context.xml with the <Resource>... sections appropriate? My last attempt drowned in a sea of bizarre security exceptions and hasn't been seen since.
 Thanks,
 Richard

Tom,
 I'll see what happens when I move things about, but really, there's a difference here. One of the issues here is that Tomcat needs a class that implements the ReferenceFactory interface for its configuration. I can't find such a class in the Weblogic docs, but I might have it all wrong or be looking in the wrong place. Hence, my question.
 The weblogic jar is not in the Tomcat classpath, it's in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the war file I'm working with.

I'm sure I have already read those posts before I posted, but somehow when I followed your links back there again, I got it right.
Here is my context.xml that was successful with auto-config

Tomcat 5.5 context.xml, how to configure the Host element

[Probably this question should be asked elsewhere, if so please advise]
Dear all,
I understand that Tomcat 5.5 prefers that your web application comes with a context.xml file under the META-INF folder.
So I added a context.xml file under the META-INF folder of my web application,
please have a look below.
context.xml
<Context path="" docBase="C://Program Files//Apache Software Foundation//Tomcat 5.5//webapps//test">
 <Resource
 name="jdbc/testDB"
 factory="org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"
 auth="Container"
 type="javax.sql.DataSource"
 maxActive="10"
 maxIdle="5"
 maxWait="10000"
 removeAbandoned="true"
 removeAbandonedTimeout="60"
 logAbandoned="true"
 username="username"
 password="password"
 driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
 url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test" />
</Context> Ok, that is good so far, but how do I configure the Host element.
I mean how do you link a specific Host to a specific Context?
Before, the Context element was a sub element of the Host element,
now it is completely separated.
Host in server.xml
<Host name="www.test.com" deployOnStartup="true" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
 <Valve
 className="org.apache.catalina.valves.FastCommonAccessLogValve"
 prefix="test_access_log."
 suffix=".txt"
 pattern="common"
 directory="C://Program Files//Apache Software Foundation//Tomcat 5.5//webapps//test//logs"/>
</Host> I assume that if I modify the appBase of the Host element from webapps to webapps/test then it would work, but if I have several
Contexts for the specific Host, how should I configure it then?
Please help by giving examples!

OK, I have changed the Host's appbase to webapps/mytestapplication.
I want to deploy a test.war under the appbase:
webapps/mytestapplication/test.war
The name of the host is www.test.com
Because the war file is not named ROOT.war (instead it is named test.war),
the URL to the test application would be www.test.com/test.
Now I have several relative anchor links in the test application
Say for example the test application is deployed and accessed through www.test.com/test.
Clicking on the aboutus link would change to URL to www.test.com/aboutus.html.
Instead, for this to work, the URL must be www.test.com/test/aboutus.html.
Obviously, the easiest solution is to add /test before each anchor link:
But the there must a different solution.
Adding a path to Context element did not work:
<Context path="/test" ...>
</Context>
Question:
1. what is the solution for the anchor scenario above, should I add /test before each link?
2. Is my configuration (can be seen at the bottom) correct?
Basically, I have removed the path and docBase attributes from the Context element.
I have also set autoDeploy to false in the Host element.
Here are a few paragraphs from the docs:
autoDeploy attribute of Host element:
"Finally, note that if you are defining contexts explicitly,
you should probably turn off automatic application deployment.
Otherwise, your context will be deployed twice each, and that may cause problems for your app."
OK, so I set autoDeploy to false since I am defining contexts explicitly, (META-INF/context.xml)
docBase attribute of Context element:
The value of this field must not be set when the Context
is configured using a META-INF/context.xml file as it will be inferred by the automatic deployment process.
So, I remove the docBase attribute eventhough I am confused a bit.
This is the part that confuses me:
If autoDeploy is set to false since I am defining contexts explicitly,
how can then anything be inferred by the automatic
deployment process? (please answer!)
There should not be any automatic deployment process when autoDeploy is set to false.
path attribute of Context element:
The value of this field must not be set except when statically defining a Context in server.xml,
as it will be inferred from the filenames used for either the .xml context file or the docBase.
Same as the Context element.
Thanks!

Tomcat and missing XML file

I created a console app that creates an xml file from another class file. Works fine. Now I created a JSP page which calls that class file and creates the xml document. When I read back the contents of the XML file, it shows up fine in my JSP. But I have no idea where that XML file was created/saved??? Does Tomcat store these XML files in memory??
In my class, I create the XML file with the following code:
private static File file = new File("courses.xml");
I searched my harddrive and couldn't find a courses.xml file with the correct data.
Can anyone explain to me what is going on here? How can I create an XML file which doesn't exist on my harddrive?

Is Tomcat running on your computer? Or is it running on another comp?
Just to be sure you know, Tomcat will create the file on the server's hard drive, ie where Tomcat is installed, not the client harddisk, ie the browser.
If you are running Tomcat on your computer and can not find the file still, perhaps some code would help...

Tomcat application context.xml

This is my problem:
I've been programming my own implementation of a Realm.
within I want to access a <Environment>-Entry situated in
a customized Context.xml :

antiJARLocking="false" useNaming="true">
<Environment name="test" type="java.lang.String"

Hello!
Where the context.xml (tomcat) file should be, in catalina_home or in catalina_base?
Thanks.

Both, but wrong forum and off topic for the site. Try the Tomcat documentation.

JSP: work with TomCat 5.5.9 and NOT work with TomCat 6.0.16

Hi all,
I'm Antony and I have a problem with a .JSP page of my server.
In my server there are 2 users: "u1" and "u2"; there are 2 TomCat, version 5.5.9 and version 6.0.16. There is Apache WebServer version 2. The 2 TomCat servers have the same configuration files: server.xml and web.xml (in the dir /conf of the main server's root). They not work simultaneously.
When the user "root" launch the TomCat 5.5.9 all work fine: the server will show correctly the JSP pages of "u1" and the pages of "u2".
When the user "root" launch the TomCat 6.0.16 the JSP pages of "u1" work fine but the JSP pages of "u2" not work: it seems that there are problems with the path where the server want to search the pages of u2.
In the server.xml there is this code (for the handle of u2's site):
<Host name="u2site.com" appBase="/home/u2/public_html/">
<Alias>www.u2site.com</Alias>
<Context path="" reloadable="false" docBase="/home/u2/public_html/" debug="0"/>
 <Context path="/manager" debug="0" privileged="true"
 docBase="/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/server/webapps/manager">
 </Context>
</Host>and this code (for the u1's site)
<Host name="u1site.com" appBase="/home/u1/public_html/">
<Context path="" reloadable="false" docBase="/home/u1/public_html" debug="1"/>
 <Context path="/manager" debug="0" privileged="true"
 docBase="/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/server/webapps/manager">
 </Context>
</Host>The problems with the JSP pages of u2 are one of the following:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /login2.jsp(4,0) The value for the useBean class attribute com.u2.beans.access.Autenticator is invalid.and this one that appear with the pages that have the inclusion of another JSP page
/u2page.jsp(3,0) File "/../support/_formatting.jsp" not foundI think that the TomCat know how to find the page that the browser request to Apache WebServer (and that the webserver request to Tomcat by the connector) 'cause for pages that haven't inclusion or call to method in packages all work fine...but the TomCat have problems to locate the pages included or the method located in a JAR (the jars are located in WEB-INF/lib/ of the u2's site).
How I can resolve this problem with TomCat 6.0.16? I repeat that with TomCat 5.5.9 all work fine...same configuration!
Any ideas?
Thank you very much,
Antony.

Hi stevejluke, 'cause in the page "/supporto/_formatting.jsp" there are only the definition of some variables it's normal that the output at the browser it's a blank page.
The problem it's that Tomcat 6.0.16 cannot know how "navigate" the pages beginning from one...it know where is the "x.jsp" page requested directly by Apache WebServer, where is "y.jsp" request directly by Apache, where is "z.jsp" requested directly by Apache but if "x.jsp" request, includes, "y.jsp" Tomcat cannot know where "y.jsp" is located. There is some file where I can "say" this to Tomcat?
The page "/mostre/elenco_mostre.jsp" includes directly the "/supporto/_formatting.jsp".
Another thing: in /mostre/elenco_mostre.jsp there is an inclusion directive for /supporto/_formatting.jsp that is so:
<%@ include file="../supporto/_formatting.jsp"%>you can see that the included file is "../supporto/_formatting.jsp" and NOT "/../supporto/_formatting.jsp"...the "/" at the begin of the path is included by Tomcat!
In the catalina.out there are this lines, when the page is called:
Jul 6, 2008 3:15:00 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /elenco_mostre.jsp(3,0) File "/../supporto/_formatting.jsp" not found

Maybe the problem it's that Tomcat want the conf file in "Server/Service/Engine/Host/Context" ? I must move the block HOST of the server.xml file in this path?
Good Sunday and thank you!

can anyone help...

Where to place /META-INF/context.xml ?

Hi,
Apologies, but this is a newbie question. In the tomcat docs, it states that
"A /META-INF/context.xml file can be used to define Tomcat specific configuration..."
Could you please tell me where /META-INF/context.xml is placed relative to web application root? In other words, if I have a web application in a directory /MyWebApp, should the /META-INF dir be in /MyWebApp/META-INF or should it be under /WEB-INF?
Thanks.
Ben

You seem to think that you can have only one META-INF directory; this is simply not true. Keep both your META-INF directories and put the files where they are expected. Yay for using overlapping names :/

Tomcat 5.5.7 and context.xml
