jboss tomcat 4 bundle - examples,manager, root, etc

[chingchan]

I know there are quite a few guys brought some similar questions, just to make sure ?

I used the jboss 2.4.4 tomcat 4.0.1 bundle. The jboss portion is running fine.

I like to see the default tomcat webapps - examples, manager, root,tomcat-docs, webdav and could not do it out of box. After reading some stuff in the forum , I deploy each of these in a war file and then it works on examples, root, tomcat-docs. It did not work on the manager ( anyone know how to deploy the manager servlet ? ) and I have not tried the webdav.

My question is "Do you need to re-build the war file even you just want to add a static html file ". I try but it did not work. On the standalone tomcat 4 installation, it does not need to do that. Just to make sure I am not doing something stupid . Anyone can drop a line ?

You can deploy unpacked in 2.4.4.
Make sure the directory ends with .war
you can then just drop your web content into the
relevant directory.

I'm not sure you can use the manager servlet when
you run tomcat embedded in jboss? It will certainly
require some config changes.

Hi Adrian

Your answer is very interesting.

Forgive my lack of knowledge, could you be more specific how to deploy it unpacked.

You mentioned a directory ending with .war.

I have created a directory test.war like \jboss_tomcat_home_dir\catalina\webapps\test.war and put a static html file test.html there.

Now how do I config jboss/tomcat for the mapping to make this url worked like http://localhost:8080/test/test.html?

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Have a look at the ERROR 500 Mapping configuration
thread in the FAQ forum for an explanation.

You mentioned that it is possible to get the manager example working by making some configuration changes. What would those changes be? Thanks
