I'm trying to upgrade to Tomcat6 from
Tomcat 5.0.30 and it's a little frustrating.
However I've reached a point where I've got one of my four applications (contexts) more or less working.
However I have two problems:
1) I'm getting a message saying "The requested resource (/servlet/WriteToAccessLog) is not available". This message appears within the html on the page, but not in any logs at all, not even in the Apache logs.
Anyone got any idea why this should be happening? It's configured normally in the web.xml file where it's been all these years.
2) All my contexts are currently configured in server.xml, but in Tomcat6 they recommend moving the contexts to a context.xml file and I would rather like to move them to the META-INF folder within the application folder, which seems rather neat to me, right there in the application.
The problem is this, I don't have an application named ROOT; I didn't like the name, so years ago, when I was using Tomcat4 I renamed the ROOT application to 'main-app'.
The problem is that this new way of configuring contexts doesn't seem to envisage the lack of a named ROOT application. Because the path="" parameter, which you can use in the server.xml file is no longer used in the new context.xml files and the path is inferred from the name of the .xml file. I presumably can't name a file just ".xml" (I haven't tried), and in the docs they only seem to envisage a ROOT.xml.
I could of course rename my main-app to ROOT, but that's not going to be neat solution as there are references to 'main-app' about the place and I will have to find them and rename them and so on.
Does anyone know of a solution to the problem?
Thanks for any help.
