Jboss Tomcat - Context for webapp

[dbshah]

(Similar question has been un-answered on two other forums so trying it here)

If I have a webapp c:/mywebapp how would I configure Tomcat 4.1 (JBoss 3.2.1) to specify that when http://localhost:8080/mywebapp is accessed go find content in c:/mywebapp

Every search I made refers to tomcat's server.xml and element. Of course, server.xml does not exist for tomcat-jboss installation!!

Please help.

Thanks.

What you are suppose to do is setup the context (just like you would in a stand-alone version of Tomcat) in the jboss-service.xml file located under the jbossweb-tomcat.sar/META-INF/ directory. You will find this directory under the deploy directory.

I have tried this though without any luck. :-(

I too have tried with no success!
Hopefully someone can help answer this since one of my app. is not accessible right now.

Hi
I ran into this problem, and this is how I solved it :

I created the war exactly like in Tomcat.
I then created an ear that looks like :
$ jar -tf rubis.ear
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
rubis_ejb_servlets.jar
rubis.jar
ejb_rubis_web.war
META-INF/jboss.xml
META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
META-INF/web.xml
META-INF/application.xml

The application.xml is the only other file which has the following :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1
.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd">



<display-name>ejb_rubis_web</display-name>

RUBiS Session Bean implementation



rubis.jar







<web-uri>ejb_rubis_web.war</web-uri>

<context-root>ejb_rubis_web</context-root>








And I can see the ejb_rubis_web in the right context ---

To change it, just change the context-root.
