在tomcat中使用上下文条目运行Web应用程序

Question

I have tomcat which successfully running web application with just making following entry into conf/server.xml file.

<Host name="test" debug="0" appBase="full path of jsp and java classes"
                unpackWARs="false" autoDeploy="false">

                <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                    prefix="om_log." suffix=".log"
                    timestamp="true"/>

        <Context path="" docBase="full path of jsp and java classes"
               reloadable="false" crossContext="false" />
    </Host>

But i am not able to run same thing in newly downloaded tomcat.

Cal i know the step to run application with context entry ?

Answer 1

Taken from Context docs on Tomcat website

Defining a context It is NOT recommended to place <Context> elements directly in the server.xml file. This is because it makes modifying the Context configuration more invasive since the main conf/server.xml file cannot be reloaded without restarting Tomcat.

Individual Context elements may be explicitly defined:

1. In an individual file at /META-INF/context.xml inside the application files. Optionally (based on the Host's copyXML attribute) this may be copied to $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ and renamed to application's base file name plus a ".xml" extension.
2. In individual files (with a ".xml" extension) in the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory. The context path and version will be derived from the base name of the file (the file name less the .xml extension). This file will always take precedence over any context.xml file packaged in the web application's META-INF directory.
3. Inside a Host element in the main conf/server.xml .

Without knowing exactly what error you get, it's hard to help any more than this.
