Jenkins Tomcat deploy：上下文是在server.xml中定义的，不能取消部署

Question

I get the following error when deploying an application with Jenkins through Maven, even though the context is definitely NOT defined in /etc/tomcat8/server.xml (there is no other server.xml on the server). Usually, deploying after restarting Tomcat works, but this problem is getting really annoying as it occurs very often. What could be the reason?

Thanks!

Answer 1

In my case this happens while the app is starting up. Either stop in in the manager or wait for it to die due to some error on start-up

Answer 2

In my case, those error messages occurred when I had added <Context> configuration in server.xml .

I had set [Context docBase="MyApp" path="/" source="{MyApp.location}"] in server.xml.

Try to remove <Context> configuration in server.xml .
