Hi I have been getting troubles with the deploys in an application java/tomcat in EBS, every time I made a deploy al the user files are deleted because all the folders related to it are been placed in the webapp folder, because of that I need to move those users folders out of webapp, or at least it is the solution that several websites said. Based on it they said I need to add something like this
<Context docBase="/home/ec2-user/files/" path="/userFiles" />
on the server.xml file, but it is not working in my case, I guess it is because AWS elastic bean stalk . Someone have an advice or a solution to this?
Thanks.

In my webapp I configure Log4j2 with XML file.
The case is there's might be several versions of this webapp deployed on the server (for production purpose). If I don't edit log4j2 configuration, all webapps write logs to the same location.
So I need somehow identify versions of the app and add this identifier to the end of the folder name.
Apps always have different names, so maybe I can use it.
Can anyone please suggests some solution for this?
P. S. I know I could use ${log4j:configParentLocation} or something like this, but this gives me troubles when I deploy the app.
Edit: I don't use Spring boot, just usual Tomcat Servlet webapp with web.xml.
I have created application in Dropwizard, which is serving REST API to my clients. I used to run this from .jar file on server, everything worked fine.
Now I have requirement to move my application to WildFly, so now I assume that I need to have a WAR instead of JAR, and here comes my problem:
How to write web.xml to my application? What to include in there? Could anyone give me any template or tutorial or some example how it is done in Dropwizard?
I found what I was looking for. It's wizard-in-a-box project that do all the necessary things to build a WAR file.
There is an application, say myApp.war (developed using Spring MVC) that I give the users to deploy in their tomcat webapp folder. When the user starts tomcat, the war is exploded, and then I ask the user to go myApp/WEB-INF/classes/persistence.properties and ask him to edit just one property name (actually an HSQLDB path). Post that I ask the user to stop tomcat, delete the war file and start tomcat server again. And the application is up and running.
Although the users are not complaining, I believe there has to be a better way of doing this. For example when the users deploy wordpress or hudson and the first time they try to access the app. they are redirected to an install page where they do their basic configuration and they are up and running. How can I achieve it here.
I have used JNDI to solve this very problem in the past. Here is a nice example to show you how to do this with Spring:
http://www.journaldev.com/2597/spring-datasource-jndi-with-tomcat-example
Checkout JMX which can allow on the fly configuration, or there is one obix framework
Why not something like this:
Use a relative path with sysprops, like ${user.home}/path-to-hsqldb. If the user runs tomcat as user "jim", it will look in c:\users\jim\path-to-hsqldb (Windows) or /usr/jim/path-to-hsqldb (Linux)
You might need to use Spring's <context:property-placeholder/> to enable this.
I'm trying to deploy my first servlet to my server. There are, of course, many tutorials online. But most of them are very detailed and complicated, and I only need to deploy a few simply servlets to this server.
I found what I think to be the shortest method of deployment: Deployment on Tomcat Startup. I moved my .WAR file (FirstProject.war) into $CATALINA_BASE/webapps folder, but when trying to access it (ServerIP/FirstProject) I get the "The requested resource is not available." error.
Is there anything I forgot in the process of deployment?
I know that deployOnStartup has to be set to true, but I didn't change anything with the server's hosts, so the current host is localhost. I didn't change its settings, so deployOnStartup should be true (It's said that true is the default).
What am I missing?
You are using easiest way but I don't know what you are missing. Here what I would suggest is run your server and access through localhost:8080 then click manage app then enter username and password then you can deploy your war.
If you have any query post command.
Even i used to face this problem while deploying my first web application on Jboss and Apache ..
Even though your code is working properly with all your servlet mappings and paths using in your content files ...some times they kick back in real time environment ..So we have to know the proper deployment folder structure and accordingly we have to change our paths in the code
what i am concluding is check the below lines of code
Examples, assuming root is http://foo.com/site/
Absolute path, no matter where we are on the site
/foo.html
will refer to http://foo.com/site/foo.html
Relative path, assuming the containing link is located in http://foo.com/site/part1/bar.html
../part2/quux.html
will refer to http://foo.com/site/part2/quux.html
or
part2/blue.html
will refer to http://foo.com/site/part1/part2/blue.html
I'm trying to run a website using Tomcat and Eclipse. I created a Dynamic Web Project, I configured web.xml file and I also used Maven. In a directory src/main/webapp I put an index.html file. I also made a simple REST service in the same project. So this REST service is working for me (for example, when I put "http://localhost:8080/RESTfulService/rest/item" in an address bar. But what is the address that I should write to get an access to a website I put in a webapp folder? I thought "http://localhost:8080/RESTfulService/" should be working, but it's not.
From what i understand of your setup, try "http://localhost:8080/index.html". Do you have a context path called 'RESTfulService' setup?
Do you have a context element listed in your server.xml? If so, what does it say?
