Tomcat 7.0.47
Reading over the security benchmark I posted a link to earlier, there is one
that suggests to separate out the web content directory from the Tomcat system
files. Reading the Tomcat docs for appBase, I see I can set this value.
Reading further down in the Tomcat docs for Host, other questions have
spawned... and I blame it on being Friday.
1. When/Why would I change the xmlBase directory location? For the same
reasons I would change the appBase directory?
2. What is the benefit of un-packing WAR files?
a. If you drop a WAR file into your webapps directory (appBase I
guess), and it unpacks, should you leave the WAR file there or remove it?
3. WAR files located outside of the Host's appBase will not be expanded...
a. Why would I deploy WAR files outside of the Host's appBase?
b. Where are those deployed? By specifying the docBase?
4. What is the difference exactly between appBase and docBase?
If the Context is specified in server.xml, I can have an appBase and a docBase?
I know docBase has to be set outside of the Host's appBase, but why would I
have two locations for WAR files?
