So you are getting 404 errors? What resource are you trying to access? Is it static or dynamic? If dynamic, is it properly mapped in WEB-INF/web.xml? Do you have a web server in front of JBoss? If so, what does the configuration look like? > I'm unable to determine my document base.Question: Is the a way in > which I can find what does the internal TomCat sees as document > base?Or is there a way to force TomCat to use a specific directory > as the doc root? You might be confused by what web servers (like httpd) typically call a DocumentRoot. In Tomcat, there are two relevant directories that could be what you are talking about: 1. appBase - this is an attribute of <Host> that specifies where webapps are "usually" placed on the file system. In a default configuration, webapps placed there (in a directory or as a WAR file) are automatically deployed on startup. 2. docBase - this is an attribute of <Context> that may only be specified when you are placing a context.xml file (named appname.xml) into Tomcat's conf/ directory structure. The docbase points to the directory or WAR file that contains the webapp. This is the closest thing to DocumentRoot you can get in Tomcat. If you are talking about docBase, then there's no reason you should be setting it to anything at all: everything is auto-detected if you deploy your webapp in any standard way. As long as your URI looks like this: /context/resource then you ought to be able to find 'resource' here: /path/to/webapp/resource Note that the 'context' is part of the URI but doesn't get added to your webapp's docBase (since the context prefix and the docBase are usually the same). Hope that helps, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9iMA8ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCFxACZASl5jVVcVCgC8Qh2HfChvqtS nIwAn2Q8ZCV65g23DLLC2j8KwFGoZ9xc =LXAk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
