SourceForge Submitter: mrsea .
I downloaded and installed JBoss version 3.2.5 without
any problem.
When I started JBoss it works fine. No errors in logs.

I have an web application (war) which already running
on a standalone Tomcat 5.0.26 (different machine).

I copied this web app to Jboss "deploy" folder
as "mywebapp.war". After copy application initialized and
deployed automatically without any problem.

But I must use this web app under different host. So I
configured this web application to JBoss with a different
host configuration.

I added a virtual host configuration and a context for
this web app. like this;

<Host name="mrsea.test.com">
<Alias>mrsea</Alias>
<Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
prefix="mrsea.test.com_access_log."
suffix=".txt" pattern="common"
directory="$

{jboss.server.home.dir}/log"/>
<Logger
className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="mrsea.test.com_log." suffix=".txt"
directory="${jboss.server.home.dir}

/log"
timestamp="true"/>
<Valve
className="org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssoc
iationValve"/>
<!-- Default context parameters -->
<DefaultContext cookies="true"
crossContext="true" override="true"/>

<Context path="/mywebapp"
docBase="E:/Java/Projects/WebApplications/MyWebappPr
oject/webroot/doc/rootwebapp"
debug="0" reloadable="true" cookies="false">
</Context>
</Host>

After restart I saw following messages ;

There is a message like;

2004-07-09 09:55:04,622 INFO
[org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig] No default
web.xml

So I think tomcat could not find default web.xml file if
you define a different host other than localhost.
Default web.xml is
under "..\server\default\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat50.sar"
folder.

I copied this file in to "..\server\default\conf" folder and
added an attribute to my context tag like this;

defaultWebXml="$

{jboss.server.home.dir}

/conf/web.xml"

After restart there wasn't any "no default web.xml"
message.

I tried to test my web app but when I visit my index.jsp
file HTTP 500 occured with message;

I think that tomcat jsp compiler can't find servlet-api.jar,
jsp-api.jar and other jar files under /WEB-INF/lib folder of
application if you try to configure a virtual host with a
context which outside of deploy folder.

I think these are bug and want to report;

If you configure a virtual host with a context outside of
deploy folder;

1. Tomcat can't find default web.xml file and web
application does not work,
2. Tomcat can't find servlet-api, jsp-api and jars under
WEB-INF/lib and jasper can not compile jsp pages.
