Hi there,
Am new to using tombcat and seemingly I just cannot seem to get deploying a new application into the server right.
Just as a test copied the whole directory structure of the examples application of tomcat, renamed it to test and added a new context element in the servlet.xml file. restarted the server and prayed that it worked. my prayers were not answered

Well for starts is this the right way to do it? Is is possible to deploy a new application into tomcat without creating a .WAR file.
Thanks
Jack

Yes it is possible to deploy an app without the WAR file.

What is the error you are getting, and what does the context you created look like ? And where in server.xml is it?

Did you define the servlet URLs in the WEB-INF/web.xml file?

Some people, when well-known sources tell them that fire will burn them, don't put their hands in the fire.

Some people, being skeptical, will put their hands in the fire, get burned, and learn not to put their hands in the fire.

And some people, believing that they know better than well-known sources, will claim it's a lie, put their hands in the fire, and continue to scream it's a lie even as their hands burn down to charred stumps.

They worship nothing. They say it's because nothing is worth fighting for. Like this tiny ad:
