Tomcat unable to access the list of applications running through TomcatManager

[ramya narayanan]

Dear All,
I'm using Tomcat-5.5.27 version.
When I'm trying to run my application by specifying my application name & context it's working.
But when I try to see the list of applications through my manager by giving proper passwords tomcat & tomcat, it shows 403- forbidden error, but my application is running.

Even when I create a new user in my tomat-users.xml & then try to login into the application, the error persists.
This is my error:

 
HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
type Status report
 
message Access to the requested resource has been denied
 
description Access to the specified resource (Access to the requested resource has been denied) has been forbidden.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Apache Tomcat/5.5.27
   

My tomcat-users.xml:

  
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
  <role rolename="tomcat"/>
  <role rolename="role1"/>
  <user username="sai" password="rajini" roles="tomcat"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
  <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
  <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
</tomcat-users>
 
  

I need access to tomcat manager because I'm trying to automate deployment of my applications in tomcat-server for which I need to go through TomcatManager.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards.

The challenge is won , by including an role of manager for an user here "sai" user has been included the role of manager
Modify the role of sai in tomcat-user.xml :

  
<user username="sai" password="rajini" roles="tomcat,[B]manager[/B]"/>
  

Now re-start the server & it will work.
But I'll now have to resolve another challenge.
When I view the list of applications running:
I come across two paths pointing to my same application JDBCServlet

 
1) \JDBCServlet
2) \start-jdbc-test
   

in conf\server.xml, I've set the contextpath of the application as:

   
 
<Context path="/start-jdbc-test" docBase="JDBCServlet" debug="0" 
      reloadable="true" />
 
 

Also my web.xml is:

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
 
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd">
 
<web-app>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-class>JDBCServletMysql</servlet-class>
    <servlet-name>Some dummy name</servlet-name>
  </servlet>
 
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Some dummy name</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>[B]/start-jdbc-test[/B]</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
 
</web-app>
   

But when I try to connect to my application , through any of those paths it displays 404 not available error;
The error trace is :

 
HTTP Status 404 - /JDBCServlet/
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
type Status report
 
message /JDBCServlet/
 
description The requested resource (/JDBCServlet/) is not available.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Apache Tomcat/5.5.27
   

But when I run the application through this path:

  
[B]http://localhost:8080/JDBCServlet/start-jdbc-test[/B]
  

It works perfectly.
How my application can be run through the manager list of applications i.e through context path.
Regards.
