Deploy GWT app in Tomcat as ROOT

[Xybrek]

Hi,

I've been trying to deploy my gwt app in Tomcat server but I am having
problem running the application rpc in the ROOT, I mean, if the app is
deployed like:

webapps/mygwapp

I works, if the servlet defined in the web.xml is like this:

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>greetServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/mygwtapp/greet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

In this case: http://localhost:8080/mygwtapp/greet works just fine.

However if I move the app inside the ROOT, that is renamed the folder
mygwtapp to ROOT

The applications RPC fails. If I change the the url mapping to just
<url-pattern>/greet</url-pattern>

It still wont work. Any ideas?

Thanks.

The problem is in your @RemoteServiceRelativePath("greet")

The above always append(as prefix) your app name with 'greet', so it would expect a servlet mapping /mygwtapp/greet

Try using ServiceDefTarget

I see, then I can then rename the url-pattern into just
<url-pattern>/greet</url-pattern>?

How to map the client-side service to match the servlet mapping '/greet'?

[Kanagaraj M]

GreetingServiceAsync serviceAsync= (GreetingServiceAsync)GWT.create(GreetingService.class);
ServiceDefTarget endpoint = (ServiceDefTarget) serviceAsync;
String moduleRelativeURL = " http://localhost:8080/"+ "greet";

endpoint.setServiceEntryPoint(moduleRelativeURL);

[Kanagaraj M]

That is what ServiceDefTarget is doing.

You need to have servlet mapping as following

 <servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-name>greetServlet</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>/greet</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>

Hi I see thanks, however I am still trying to remember how I did it
before. I am not sure I used that kind of approach you suggested.
