Deployement problem

[Samanthi perera]

I put TickectSystem.war file into D:\Alternate_C_Drive\jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\deploy folder.
Then start the Jboss using run.bat file located at D:\Alternate_C_Drive\jboss-5.1.0.GA\bin.
it starts fine.But i can't find any any folder name TickectSystem.
If it was doplyed correctly there should be a folder name TickectSystem in D:\Alternate_C_Drive\jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\deploy.
where is the error?

The .war (archive) will be extracted to a tmp folder within the AS. To see whether the application is deployed successfully, you can check the logs on the server console which will show something like:

22:02:32,642 INFO  [TomcatDeployment] deploy, ctxPath=/TicketSystem

or you can even try to access the application through the browser http://localhost:8080/TicketSystem

P.S: I'm assuming that you haven't overridden the context through jboss-web.xml.

[Samanthi perera]

can you please tell me how to overide context through jboss-web.xml ?

Location: WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml

<jboss-web>
    <context-root>TicketSystem</context-root>
</jboss-web>

As written in my post "WEB-INF/jboss-Web.xml" - which means in your Web application (war file)

[Samanthi perera]

here is my web.xml

</web-app>

but it gives errors in line <jboss-web>
here is error

It is not in web.xml you put the <jboss-web> tag - but in a file called jboss-web.xml

[Samanthi perera]

ok.
here is my jboss-web.xml file

<jboss-web>
	<context-root>TicketSystem</context-root>
</jboss-web>

it in WebContent folder of my web application.
is it ok now.

[Rene Larsen]

It should be ok now - but the best verification is to test it ;)

Try rename your war file to somthing meaningless, and then see what happens.

[Samanthi perera]

it is working fine.
anyway i put a war file without a jboss-web.xml file.
it is also working fine.
1)i don't know why?
2)can you tell me where is the place to jboss extract the war files?

1) did you change the name of the war file to something different then what the context is??
2) the file will be extracted to JBOSS/server/default/tmp/deploy - where the name will be like 'tmp<SOME_ID><WAR_NAME>-exp.war'

[Samanthi perera]

I change the name of war file to Abc.war.
now i type http://localhost:8080/Abc/ in Explore.
it is working fine.
but still i am unable to fine extracted war file in tem folder.

But did you define a different name in jboss-web.xml ??

The test should be like e.g.:

WAR=Abc.war
<context-root>TicketSystem</context-root>

this should give you:

http://localhost:8080/Abc/ = wont work
http://localhost:8080/TicketSystem/ = works

The extracted file should be in JBOSS/server/default/tmp - but maybe it is direct in the default/tmp root inside a folder with the name of some generated ID

[Samanthi perera]

the problem is that i created a war file without a jboss-web.xml fle.
But it is also working.
my problem is how it is working without a jboss-web.xml.

[Samanthi perera]

project attached as a zip file

[Rene Larsen]

If you don't use jboss-web.xml then the name of the war file will be used as the context root

[Samanthi perera]

I put a jboss-web.xml file inside the project and make a war file.
here is jboss-web.xml

<jboss-web>
	<context-root>TicketSystem</context-root>
</jboss-web>

but the starting line of this xml file give this message

No grammar constraints (DTD or XML schema) detected for the document.

when i start jboss server and type this in IE
http://localhost:8080/Abc/

it is working.it gives expected results.
but when i type this
http://localhost:8080/TicketSystem
it says

type Status report

message /TicketSystem

description The requested resource (/TicketSystem) is not available.

JBoss Web/2.1.3.GA

i don't know why?
