I'm relative new to
Java and I'm having trouble deploying a simple app to a server.
A brief history:
I've made a small hello world app that has a MySql back end that saves a message the user types in.
I've used:
Java 5
Wicket framework
Hibernate
MySQL
Right now, I am using embedded Jetty 6 as a web server. I'd like to deploy the app to a standalon Jetty instance on a
server I've configured on a VMWare host.
Server:
Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope
MySQL
Java 5
Jetty 5
I'm currently modifying the default jetty.xml (that comes with installation). In the context section, I've pointed my app
folder in the webapps directory (usr/share/jetty/webapps/hellworld).
<!-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -->
<!-- Add a all web application within the webapps directory. -->
<!-- + No virtual host specified -->
<!-- + Look in the webapps directory relative to jetty.home or . -->
<!-- + Use the webdefault.xml resource for the defaults descriptor -->
<!-- + Upack the war file -->
<!-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -->
<Set name="rootWebApp">helloworld</Set>
<Call name="addWebApplications">
<Arg></Arg>
<Arg><SystemProperty name="jetty.home" default="."/>/webapps/</Arg>
<Arg>org/mortbay/jetty/servlet/webdefault.xml</Arg>
<Arg type="boolean">false</Arg>
</Call>
After deploying the war file onto the server in the helloworld directory, when trying to access it, I'm only seeing a list of the helloworld directory contents.
Would someone have any ideas if I'm missing any configuration, or what I could do to resovle this issue?
Do I need to change anything in the code for it to work with a standalone server (as opposed to its current embedded instance)?
