Hi all,
I have a tomcat instance being served out of my workspace and something is causing the Context docBase to be incorrectly updated. This in turn means I have to edit the server.xml file before I can restart the server to test any changes.
I'm using Eclipse Luna (Java EE version), kubuntu 14.04, and tomcat 7 (installed from packages and hacked a bit to get running under Eclipse correctly). Additionlly the workspace is hosted on a ntfs drive that is shared with windows, but I don't see how that could be causing any issues.
I can start and stop the server via eclipse without any issues and my app is being served correctly. However, if I change any of my java classes and then restart tomcat to pick up the changes, my docBase path has changed from
"/media/owen/Windows8_OS/Users/owen/workspace/Servers/Tomcat v7.0 (local)-config/wtpwebapps/perfDemo2"
to
"{/media/owen/Windows8_OS/Users/owen/workspace/Servers/Tomcat v7.0 (local)-config/wtpwebapps}N/perfDemo2"
Where the section in the braces is repeated N times. The size of N appears to grow in proportion to the number of times I save my changes between tomcat restarts (and subsequent server.xml cleanups). To me this indicates that WTP/Eclipse is updating this config every time I save and prepends the wtpwebapps path again.
I've googled around a bit to see if anyone else is having this problem but no luck yet.
Cheers,
Owen

I know this is a use case I have never tested. At the moment, I have no
good guesses as to where this behavior is coming from. Is it the
server.xml down under the
".metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core" that you are seeing
this in? I assume if you switch to a workspace in the local Linux
system, you see normal behavior?
Cheers,
Larry
