What could I miss/check if the rap app works when running from the IDE but reports a "404 not found" once deployed in tomcat 7?

Hi Ivan,
I started with the provided test war "rapdemo.war" which has the same error.
Is Tomcat 7.0.37 (on a WinXP virtual machine) supposed to work with the latest RAP?

Thanks!

Hi Erdal,

what is the URL of your application? In a WAR deployment, you usually
have to add a context path like

host:port/rapdemo/controls

whereas you can access the application without a context path when
launching from the IDE, such as

host:port/controls

Does that help?

Thanks, Ralf, that was it!
I also removed the jetty plugins and the servletbridge plugin which were automatically added by the WAR Product wizard.
