tomcat7 - External web app location does not create directory under webapps in Tomcat -


so far have been using tomcat 6 specify war deployed in context.xml file under $catalina_home/conf/catalina/localhost application1-context.xml, application2-context.xml. etc.

example application1-context.xml

<context path="/myapps/app1" docbase="c:\warfiles\appone.war"         debug="0" privileged="true">             <loader classname="mycustomapplicationloader"/>             <logger classname="org.apache.catalina.logger.systemoutlogger" verbosity="4" timestamp="true"/>          </context> 

this create folder myapps#app1 under $catalina_home/webapps folder.

but since migrating tomcat7, not happen more. unless have war file "appone.war" directly under tomcat appbase directory i.e. $catalina_home/webapps war not unpacked folder under $catalina_home/webapps directory.

i have read apache bug report: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51294&quot%3b&gt%3b51294&lt%3b/a&gt%3b

question: there way can force behavior in tomcat 7?

it sounds issue has been fixed in tomcat version 7.0.48 which, @ time of writing, still in development. it's been added version 8.

edit: have managed resolve without having wait for/use 7.0.48. in context.xml file add unpackwar="false" , specify virtualclasspath attribute points target\classes folder so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <context docbase="(path .war file)">     <loader classname="org.apache.catalina.loader.virtualwebapploader"             virtualclasspath="(path folder contain .class files,                                {project folder}\target\classes\)"             searchexternalfirst="true"             unpackwar="false" /> </context> 
  • searchexternalfirst means class loader in virtualclasspath folder before looking in web-inf directory.
  • unpackwar set false because war file exploded in /target/classes folder there's no need tomcat well.

hopefully helps too.
