setup context under Tomcat

[riaz rahman]

hi,
In tomcat 5.x i want to setup context inside my war directory (not in server.xml).
because my application will be deployed after server started.
so any change in server.xml is not reflected till server is restarted.


For example, I want to map D:\files\set1 to http://localhost/docs.
(not through server.xml)

Best regards...

In your web app war file just include a jboss-web.xml which sets the context url.

Hi mark,

i have specified in jboss-web.xml like this

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
 
 <jboss-web>
<context-root>/JBossTest</context-root>

<Context path="/del/images"  
    appBase="" docBase="home/zc../webFiles/images"(absolute path) 
    debug="99" 
    reloadable="true">
</Context>

<Context path="/del/javascript"  
 appBase="" 
 docBase="home/zc/.../webFiles/javascript" (absolute path) 
 debug="99" 
 reloadable="true">
 </Context>

<Context path="/del/css"  
 appBase="" 
 docBase="/home/zc/../riazapp/webFiles/css"(absolute path) 
 debug="99" 
 reloadable="true">
</Context>
 
 </jboss-web>

with regards

Good question, but I don't see anything, but it could be a simple spelling or path problem. But at this point it goes beyond my knowledge. I can just set the URL.

Hi mark,

I think mapping static content as above is not possible inside web application folder (is possible only in server.xml). so i have changed my servlet coding to handle the request.

thanks for your kindly replay.
