| 21:57.46 | garfield1313 | help? |
| 21:58.15 | adam300 | not just yet but the Topic says it could take a while..... |
| 21:58.25 | pfn | a context is an application |
| 21:58.33 | pfn | a host contains a set of applications |
| 21:58.57 | pfn | adam300, as for struts, I don't know anything about struts |
| 21:59.16 | garfield1313 | ok. |
| 21:59.25 | garfield1313 | I have a war file I deploy |
| 21:59.31 | pfn | adam300, presumable you have something that resolves to null |
| 21:59.46 | garfield1313 | In my application, I have install specific stuff. |
| 21:59.52 | adam300 | pfn: that's the thing I can't find it anywhere |
| 22:00.02 | garfield1313 | IE, uploaded files |
| 22:00.20 | pfn | adam300, so, pare down your struts-config.xml until it starts to work |
| 22:00.21 | garfield1313 | So I put those is a directory that is a sibling of the .war file |
| 22:00.32 | adam300 | pfn: I will give it a shot |
| 22:00.34 | adam300 | thanks |
| 22:00.40 | garfield1313 | and I add a new context to my host entry for the .war. |
| 22:00.51 | pfn | garfield1313, do not |
| 22:01.04 | pfn | garfield1313, don't create new directories in the webapps directory |
| 22:01.18 | pfn | create new directories under your war's context directory |
| 22:01.21 | pfn | or somewhere else completely |
| 22:01.49 | garfield1313 | I can't put them under the war's context directory or they will be deleted every time I deploy a new war |
| 22:02.12 | garfield1313 | How do I put them anywhere else and still be visible by the application |
| 22:02.25 | pfn | what exactly are you trying to do here |
| 22:02.35 | pfn | you should not put anything into the webapps dir |
| 22:02.54 | pfn | if you want a way for users to upload content, I would upload it into a directory anywhere else in the filesystem |
| 22:02.59 | pfn | and then use a servlet to read and display that file |
| 22:03.30 | garfield1313 | Then let me explain the base problem |
| 22:03.50 | garfield1313 | I have a web application that has install specific content. |
| 22:04.06 | garfield1313 | I want that content to remain unchanged every time I deploy a new war file |
| 22:04.24 | garfield1313 | I, however, need all that content to still be within the container of the application |
| 22:04.33 | pfn | so, why don't you store said content within the .war file |
| 22:04.59 | garfield1313 | I have an application that is deployed to 50 different clients |
| 22:05.19 | garfield1313 | I am not going to deploy all 50 clients configuration files within one war |
| 22:06.27 | garfield1313 | I want to make the applicable changes to the configuration file during the initial install and then I want that file to remain untouched. |
| 22:07.05 | pfn | then deploy the configuration within the server.xml's <context> tag |
| 22:07.21 | pfn | or store the configuration anywhere outside of the webapps tree |
| 22:07.25 | pfn | as I've said several times now |
| 22:07.27 | pfn | like store it in /etc |
| 22:07.38 | garfield1313 | Sure, then how do I get to it? |
| 22:08.20 | pfn | uh, by whatever means you have available |
| 22:08.29 | pfn | new File("/etc/yourconfigfile") perhaps |
| 22:09.02 | garfield1313 | yup, except not all installed have a "/etc" directory. |
| 22:09.32 | pfn | then you pick something and you're done |
| 22:09.51 | garfield1313 | Right, and that is root/.. |
| 22:10.29 | garfield1313 | also in root.. is a directory for uploaded files and customized templates and other install-specific content |
| 22:10.36 | garfield1313 | and other stuff as well. |
| 22:11.49 | garfield1313 | So it seemed logical to me to just decrease my appBase by one directory and build a different context for the directory created by the war deployment and each of these other install-specific directories. |
| 22:11.54 | garfield1313 | And 95% of it works |
| 22:13.38 | garfield1313 | The only thing Tomcat is doing which I do not understand is that it is actually building 2 contexts for the war file, the appBase version and the docBase version. |
| 22:13.48 | garfield1313 | Now I will give example code. |
| 22:14.08 | pfn | because each directory under webapps is a context |
| 22:14.11 | pfn | that's how tomcat operates |

| 22:16.31 | garfield1313 | In this example, I realize I will get a buch of context. That is fine What I don't want to happen that is happening is the one startup servlet in the web.xls in apts-v4.6/Web-INF/ runs twice |
| 22:16.36 | garfield1313 | OK, thanks |
| 22:16.52 | garfield1313 | Because Tomcat creates a context for / |
| 22:17.00 | garfield1313 | and one for apts-v4.6 |
| 22:17.23 | garfield1313 | I don't understand why it is creating both of those. |
| 22:17.31 | pfn | pastebin your dirtree |
| 22:17.49 | garfield1313 | I totally understand why it is creating /Upload as one, /Export as one, etc |
| 22:18.12 | garfield1313 | how do I use pastebin |
| 22:18.38 | garfield1313 | I am using Trillian as a client |
| 22:18.44 | pfn | google pastebin |
| 22:20.30 | garfield1313 | any suggestiions on how to get that easily in windows? |
| 22:21.14 | garfield1313 | oh, dirtree is a command , hold on... |
| 22:25.43 | garfield1313 | ok, dirtree is a unix command. Not for windows |
| 22:27.14 | *** join/#tomcat cofeineSunshine (n=justinas@212.47.107.31) |
| 22:27.56 | pfn | in windows it's tree |
| 22:28.08 | garfield1313 | just found that |
| 22:28.18 | garfield1313 | Now trying to get a textual output |
| 22:28.31 | garfield1313 | Viewed with notepad it had some funky characters |
| 22:28.52 | pfn | tree /a |
| 22:29.04 | garfield1313 | I am one step ahead of you. |
| 22:29.05 | garfield1313 | Thanks tho |
| 22:29.18 | garfield1313 | got my file and looking up pastebin |
| 22:30.39 | garfield1313 | pastebin.com/d35460b5b |
| 22:30.45 | garfield1313 | is that what you are looking for? |
| 22:32.13 | pfn | the level above that |
| 22:32.17 | pfn | you have too many web-inf dirs |
| 22:32.20 | pfn | or is apt- your appbase |
| 22:33.06 | garfield1313 | Did my pasting of my <engine> appear before? |
| 22:33.34 | garfield1313 | Or was it ignored and then I was bumped? |
| 22:34.34 | pfn | bumped |
| 22:34.47 | garfield1313 | pastebin.com/d3e30e07e |
| 22:35.56 | pfn | so what you pasted is what? |
| 22:36.02 | pfn | you say webapps/apts is your appbase |
| 22:36.07 | garfield1313 | yes |
| 22:36.08 | pfn | so what's the tree of? |
| 22:36.19 | garfield1313 | everything under apts |
| 22:36.45 | pfn | you should paste the entire command output next time to make that clear |
| 22:36.45 | garfield1313 | In the apts I put a .war file call apts-v4.6 |
| 22:36.53 | garfield1313 | I did. |
| 22:37.03 | garfield1313 | I guess you wanted me to start a folder back |
| 22:37.07 | pfn | so you've got export includes product and upload sitting up there |
| 22:37.14 | garfield1313 | yes |
| 22:37.18 | garfield1313 | not in the war file |
| 22:37.31 | pfn | so what's the problem? |
| 22:37.34 | pfn | each of those are contexts? |
| 22:37.44 | garfield1313 | In TomcatLand, yes |
| 22:37.49 | garfield1313 | And I am ok with that |
| 22:37.55 | pfn | ok, so what's your next problem |
| 22:39.00 | garfield1313 | pastebin.com/d44658658 |
| 22:39.22 | garfield1313 | I have this web.xml in the apts-v4.6/WEB-INF directory |
| 22:39.29 | garfield1313 | It is executed twide |
| 22:39.34 | garfield1313 | oops, |
| 22:39.49 | garfield1313 | It is rendered/executed/whatever twice. |
| 22:40.11 | garfield1313 | If I change the servlet class name to something bogus... |
| 22:40.41 | garfield1313 | I get errors that the "/" context could not start and that the "/apts-v4.6" context could not start. |
| 22:41.12 | garfield1313 | My question is: why is that one context line being interpreted as two contexts? |
| 22:41.42 | garfield1313 | After much research, I did discover that if I move the WEB-INF directory back one level, it fixes the problem |
| 22:41.49 | garfield1313 | That does not seem reasonable to me. |
| 22:42.26 | pfn | what is executed twice? |
| 22:42.43 | garfield1313 | the class is instantiated twice. |
| 22:43.01 | pfn | and "back one level" what does that mean, webapps/apts/WEB-INF ? |
| 22:43.06 | pfn | that's strange, tomcat doesn't do that... |
| 22:43.15 | garfield1313 | I have a system.out in the init() method in that class (dq.apts.InitServlet) and it appears twice in System.out |
| 22:43.17 | pfn | unless you have a Host that has webapps configured as the app base |
| 22:43.21 | garfield1313 | yes |
| 22:43.27 | pfn | is host localAPTS the only host in your server.xml? |
| 22:43.33 | garfield1313 | That is my problem |
| 22:43.37 | garfield1313 | I don't get it. |
| 22:44.07 | garfield1313 | One of my developers and I spent an hour trying all kinds of stuff and neither of us can explain this behavior. |
| 22:44.21 | *** join/#tomcat compair193 (i=compair1@gateway/tor/x-b42ac1100f288958) |
| 22:44.30 | pfn | there is no way tomcat will load webapps/apts/WEB-INF/web.xml unless webapps is an appBase |
| 22:44.47 | garfield1313 | I am user tomcat 5.5. something and I even tried downloading the most recent 6.0.14 and it did the exact same thing |
| 22:45.51 | pfn | pastebin your entire server.xml |
| 22:46.03 | garfield1313 | I know you don't want to hear this but all this is based on a worse case scenario. I will give you the output from a different application I am developing but all my apps I did this same way. Until this latest app, I didn't care, now I do. |
| 22:46.50 | garfield1313 | actually, let me reproduce it with apts and I will send you the catalina.log |
| 22:50.16 | garfield1313 | this is even worse |
| 22:50.46 | garfield1313 | pastebin.com/m357b06b7 |
| 22:57.06 | garfield1313 | If you notice lines 42 and 105 |
| 22:58.07 | garfield1313 | I only have InitServlet2 defined as a servlet in that one web.xml under apts-v4.6/WEB_INF but it is being instantiated twice, once in the / context and one in the /apts-v4.6 context |
| 22:58.17 | garfield1313 | That is the behavior I do not understand. |
| 22:59.34 | garfield1313 | I have tried to change my <engine> so that this different directories are <host> instead of <context> but now I can't navigate from one area to another which I sort of understand |
| 22:59.59 | garfield1313 | Are you still with me pfn? |
| 23:00.15 | pfn | what is your entire server.xml ? |
| 23:01.25 | *** join/#tomcat acidjnk (i=acid@p5B3F1410.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) |
| 23:01.45 | garfield1313 | pastebin.com/d12c97bf1 |
| 23:04.14 | pfn | hmm, I don't know why it's getting deployed twice |
| 23:04.28 | pfn | probably because tomcat implicitly thinks you have 2 contexts, apt-whatever and / |
| 23:04.43 | pfn | it's generally not recommended to have docBase in a subdirectory of appBase |
| 23:05.01 | garfield1313 | So what should it be |
| 23:05.02 | garfield1313 | ? |
| 23:05.06 | pfn | you define <Context path="/" docBase="apt-x"/> |
| 23:05.07 | pfn | bad |
| 23:05.18 | pfn | you should define <Context path="/" docBase="/apt-x"/> |
| 23:05.20 | pfn | for example |
| 23:05.30 | pfn | and move apt-x completely out of the appBase directory |
| 23:05.52 | pfn | the problem is that you think the <Context path="/"> will exclusively deploy apt-x |
| 23:06.00 | pfn | which is wrong, tomcat also deploys apt-x as /apt-x |
| 23:06.16 | garfield1313 | that is right about my thinking. |
| 23:06.21 | garfield1313 | :) |
| 23:06.53 | pfn | it's a bad idea to specify docBase in conjunction with appBase if docBase will be a subdirectory of appBase |
| 23:07.21 | garfield1313 | When originally trained, I was specifically told to do it that way. |
| 23:07.26 | garfield1313 | That is the only way I know. |
| 23:07.48 | garfield1313 | Why have the two options then if they are totally independant of each other? |
| 23:08.36 | pfn | because the options are both useful features |
| 23:08.58 | pfn | you can use appBase to have automatically loaded apps, and you can use docBase to declare apps outside of appBase |
| 23:09.03 | garfield1313 | What is the clear (!!!!) definition of each? I have read the docs and it is now not clear |
| 23:09.30 | garfield1313 | But then will they still be able to talk to each other? |
| 23:09.34 | garfield1313 | within the application? |
| 23:09.38 | pfn | will what be able to talk to each other? |
| 23:09.52 | garfield1313 | in the examples I have posted... |
| 23:10.19 | pfn | what is they |
| 23:10.22 | pfn | the various contexts? |
| 23:10.43 | garfield1313 | yes |
| 23:10.56 | pfn | how do you expect them to "talk to each other" currently? |
| 23:10.57 | garfield1313 | domain/Export/SomeExportFile.xls |
| 23:11.18 | garfield1313 | domain/index.jsp is the homepage for the app. |
| 23:11.52 | pfn | and? |
| 23:12.03 | pfn | it doesn't affect your urls |
| 23:12.06 | garfield1313 | so if I am in the app somewhere that they create an export file, I redirect them to /Export/filenme |
| 23:12.25 | garfield1313 | Yes it does, because other changes will return that the file could not be found. |
| 23:12.35 | pfn | what "other changes" ? |
| 23:12.58 | pfn | simply changing the location of your application on your filesystem does not affect the URIs that are accessed through tomcat |
| 23:13.07 | pfn | as long as the context path remains the same |
| 23:13.34 | garfield1313 | context path is the same as the path parameter within the context tag? |
| 23:13.42 | pfn | that's right |
| 23:15.16 | garfield1313 | So to be clear. If I remove all the other contexts from the file I sent you except the path="/" one, I still get the same behavior. |
| 23:15.59 | garfield1313 | Now, to fix that problem (multiple context instantiation) and follow a more traditional implementation, what should I change? |
| 23:17.30 | garfield1313 | add the next child (apts-v4.6) to the appBase and change the docBase on the / context to ""? |
| 23:17.43 | garfield1313 | or remove the context entry all together? |
| 23:18.00 | pfn | easiest thing to do is remove the <context> lines |
| 23:18.04 | pfn | they're unnecessary |
| 23:18.08 | pfn | and rename apts-v4.6 to ROOT |
| 23:18.25 | garfield1313 | but that is the name of the war file. |
| 23:18.36 | garfield1313 | Can I tell a war file to deploy to a different name? |
| 23:18.39 | pfn | rename it before deployment to ROOT.war |
| 23:18.48 | pfn | that is, drop it into webapps as ROOT.war |
| 23:19.09 | garfield1313 | I have many applications in webapps, not just one. |
| 23:19.14 | pfn | so? |
| 23:19.19 | garfield1313 | apts is just one of 9 |
| 23:19.32 | pfn | instead of putting it as webapps/apts/apt-v4.6.war |
| 23:19.38 | pfn | you drop it in as webapps/apts/ROOT.war |
| 23:19.41 | pfn | eh? |
| 23:19.49 | pfn | you're doing something screwy from the sounds of this... |
| 23:20.20 | garfield1313 | yeah, I don't disagree but the document leaves a lot to be desired. |
| 23:21.26 | garfield1313 | I really don't want to rename it because not all my clients are at the same version and they use the version number of the .war file. |
| 23:21.56 | garfield1313 | to know which version they have installed. |
| 23:22.18 | garfield1313 | oops, a couple of lines ago I mean't documentation, not document |
| 23:23.40 | garfield1313 | what does renaming it to ROOT buy me? Does Tomcat do something special if it finds the war file named ROOT? |
| 23:26.24 | garfield1313 | OK, you still there? |
| 23:27.15 | garfield1313 | I did not rename the war file but I did change the appPath="webapps/apts/apts-v4.6" and removed all the contexts |
| 23:28.00 | garfield1313 | Now when I start Tomcat, I do not even get an error that InitServlet2 cannot be found. |
| 23:28.32 | garfield1313 | pfn? |
| 23:31.52 | garfield1313 | is anyone else there? |
