jsp not in war - JBoss 3.X ?

sdixit Oct 21, 2002 6:28 PM

Is it possible to deploy a jsp page (at runtime) without packaging it into a war? I used to do this in earlier versions of JBoss, by putting it under catalina\work\localhost\MyContextRoot\

make a directory in deploy named app.war. Put your jsp in here.

Under what context would the jsp page be available?
"/" or "appl/"

To rephrase the question, what would be the URL?
http://server:8080/localHost/myjsp.jsp or http://server:8080/localHost/appl/myjsp.jsp

Also could you please explain the logic behind creating appl.war in the deploy directory?

Thanks a bunch,

This is very frustrating... My original .war is deployed under context SalesContextRoot. The jsp created at runtime also needs to be available under SalesContextRoot. Per your suggestion, I tried to put the runtime-created jsp under default\deploy\SalesContextRoot.war directory. It didn't work. It is obvisous since the SalesContextRoot directory already exists under tomcat\...\work\...\localhost. The thing that amazes me is if I put runtime-created jsp directly under tomcat....\localhost\SalesContextRoot directory, the abstract containter fails to see it. Why?

okay. If you create the directory foo.war in deploy. Then you can see this at

http://localhost:8080/foo/

I'm not sure what you mean by having both a war and a jsp directory. You can just unzip your war and have the one thing to work on.
The logic behind it is that it works. You will not be able to see anything in general under the tomcat directory as jboss will not look there.

The solution you proposed won't work as a new Context is being created. Per Servlet 2.3 specs, there is exactly one ServletContext per webapp. What I want to do it put a jsp file in the root where app.war is already deployed. The idea is to have this jsp available under the ServletContext of app.war.
