http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492835 Summary: tomcat6 doesn't respect web-applications META-INF/context.xml file Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Java AssignedTo: bnc-team-java@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: julian@svg4all.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.2; Linux) KHTML/4.2.2 (like Gecko) SUSE When deploying a web-application that ships for instance database resources within it's own META-INF/context.xml file, the application won't be able to create connections from tomcats resources-pool. A post in the openSUSE forum actually pointed me to the problem and its solution: http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/395628-tomcat-6-broken-opensuse-11-a... I fixed the problem for me by creating a /etc/tomcat6/Catalina directory and set the owner to tomcat:tomcat. Since Catalina is shipped as the default Engine, the directory I just mentioned should also be shipped within the packages. Without this directory, tomcat won't load the context.xml files from deployed projects. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install tomcat6 from openSUSE repositories 2. run tomcat6 3. deploy an application using a specific context.xml file Actual Results: context.xml seems to be ignored and no resources are available for the application Expected Results: context.xml file should be parsed and resources made available to the application -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
