Deploying to the root context... [message #170408]

Hello - We have several applications that hard coded to only run in the
root context. They will not be fixed so I am trying to find some work
arounds. The problem I have been having is that the web application gets
loaded at least twice when deployed through eclipse. I have found that
if you manually edit the config files you can set the context root to an
empty string, and it gets deployed at the root context, however with the
multiple loading problems. The GUI will not let you do this. Is there
anyway in WTP to deploy to the root context that is supported and not
cause the application to be loaded multiple times?

Thanks!

-Nate

Disabling the auto-deployment feature in the server.xml found under the
Servers project in your workspace should avoid the multiple loading problem.

Cheers,

Hi Larry,

I found your reply to this message and thought you we're giving us a
workaround for bug 125364. After reading up on your responses in
bugzilla I also found this statement from you "Disabling the auto
serving of webapps should avoid the extra version of the webapp being
served based on the project name.", this was on bug 137628. However, I
can't get it to work. Using the latest RC of the eclipse platform and
the latest WTP RC i've configured my app to run as the default app and
set @autoDeploy="false" on /Server/Service/Engine/Host in server.xml. Is
there something more I need to do or am I mistaken altogether and there
is no quick-fix for the 'two-copies-of-webapp' problem?

You probably also need to set "liveDeploy" or "deployOnStartup" to
false, depending on which version of Tomcat you are using. See the
documentation on the Host element for details.
