http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39496 [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-06-27 09:29 ------- Hi, I think the underlying problem is this: Tomcat nowadays deploys *any* directory contained in the Host's appBase as a webapp. This has nothing to do with localhost or not, which you can validate by using the same test-webapp described above, but outside the "webapps"-Directory, e. g. <Host name="www.testdomain.com" debug="0" appBase="/tmp/test" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"> <Context path="" docBase="" debug="0"/> <Context path="/manager" reloadable="true" docBase="/path/to/apache-tomcat-5.5.17/server/webapps/manager" privileged="true"/> </Host> and then look at the webapps on this host. There is "/" and "/subdir", the latter of which should not be there. This behaviour is the same if you use localhost instead of testdomain.com, the difference was caused by the fact that localhost has appBase="webapps", which does not contain a directory "subdir", so the virtual mappings can pass unhindered by erroneously deployed webapps. I dug through the sources and found that version 5.5.12 has these lines in org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectories() // Make sure there is an application configuration directory // This is needed if the Context appBase is the same as the // web server document root to make sure only web applications // are deployed and not directories for web space. File webInf = new File(dir, "/WEB-INF"); if (!webInf.exists() || !webInf.isDirectory() || !webInf.canRead()) continue; I don't know when or why they were removed, but this clearly is the reason for the new behaviour -- which I consider unwanted and wrong. Please do tell if there is a rationale for auto-deploying *all* directories, regardless if they are, in fact, a webapp; I at least can't see a reason to do so. As a workaround I suggest using an empty directory as the Host's appBase, and then putting absolute paths as the Context's docBases. This way, there simply won't *be* any extra subdirectories for Tomcat to deploy.
