Hi,
=20
I've tried asking this question on the tomcat-user list with no success. =
Since it is related to the Tomcat API I hope someone here could give me =
some tips.
=20
What I basically need to do is to create a customized manager =
webapplication. It will display all loaded webapplication where the =
names have a specific prefix. Also, it will be able to undeploy all of =
these webapps and then deploy all webapps from a specific path.=20
=20
I have a Servlet implementing ContainerServlet. Using this I've manage =
to retrieve all webapps from the current Host (myHost.findChildren()). =
I've also manage to create StandardContext instances, set the properties =
I thought were necessary and added them to the Host (myHost.addChild()). =
This doesn't work very well however, since the new webapps seem to be =
deployed but cannot start. Neither is it possible to remove them through =
the Manager webapp.
=20
So my question is; what is the proper way for creating a new =
StandardContext, setting the right properties, deploy and start it? =
Right now I'm doing the following:
=20
---
theContext =3D new StandardContext();
theContext.setDisplayName(thePath);
theContext.setDocBase(myBaseDir + thePath);
theContext.setName(thePath);
theContext.setPath(thePath);

myHost.addChild(theContext);
theContext.start();
---

I know this list is for development of Tomcat, but I guess this question =
is close enough. :)

regards,
Erik
