relocating WEB-INF for web context

relocating WEB-INF for web context

I used to do this to move the WEB-INF to a custom location, doesn't seem to be working in my lucee tomcat install (used jars)

<servlet>

        <servlet-name>GlobalCFMLServlet</servlet-name>

        <description>CFML runtime Engine</description>

        <servlet-class>railo.loader.servlet.CFMLServlet</servlet-class>

        <init-param>

                <param-name>railo-web-directory</param-name>

                <param-value>/opt/farm/dev/conf/{web-context-hash}/WEB-INF/railo/</param-value>

                <description>Railo Web Directory directory</description>

        </init-param>

        <init-param>

                <param-name>railo-server-directory</param-name>

                <param-value>/opt/railo/dev/server/</param-value>

                <description>directory where railo root directory is stored</description>

        </init-param>

        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

</servlet>

my WEB-INF is ending up in webroot (not where i want it)

to move WEB-INF or to move the lucee server and web configuration directories?

also, your servlet class points to the railo package instead of the lucee package.

I want to move the WEB-INF for web context configuration

so this line is how i did it with railo

<param-value>/opt/farm/dev/conf/{web-context-hash}/WEB-INF/railo/</param-value>

changed it to 

<param-value>/opt/farm/dev/conf/{web-context-hash}/WEB-INF/lucee/</param-value>

and the WEB-INF for the web contexts are still being created in the webroot of the site

This is a fresh install of lucee jar files in a new tomcat8.0.23 container

[Igal @ Lucee.org]

{webroot}/WEB-INF is created by Tomcat even before Lucee is loaded.

I assume that you want to move the folder {webroot}/WEB-INF/lucee

all of the values you cited state railo rather than lucee.  if this is from a fresh install then there might be a problem with the installer. see the values marked in red (they should all say lucee, and I'd start with fixing that, restarting Tomcat, and see if that resolved your issue):

        <servlet-class>railo.loader.servlet.CFMLServlet</servlet-class>

        <init-param>

                <param-name>railo-web-directory</param-name>

                <param-value>/opt/farm/dev/conf/{web-context-hash}/WEB-INF/railo/</param-value>

                <description>Railo Web Directory directory</description>

        </init-param>

        <init-param>

                <param-name>railo-server-directory</param-name>

                <param-value>/opt/railo/dev/server/</param-value>

                <description>directory where railo root directory is stored</description>

        </init-param>

I was just trying to show what I had working with railo

This is what my web.xml looks like with lucee

<servlet>

    <servlet-name>CFMLServlet</servlet-name>

    <description>CFML runtime Engine</description>

    <servlet-class>lucee.loader.servlet.CFMLServlet</servlet-class>

    <init-param>

       <param-name>lucee-server-directory</param-name>

       <param-value>/opt/lucee/lucee</param-value>

       <description>Lucee Server configuration directory (for Server-wide configurations, settings, and libraries)</description>

    </init-param>

    <init-param>

        <param-name>lucee-web-directory</param-name>

        <param-value>/opt/lucee/webcontexts/dev1/WEB-INF/lucee/</param-value>

        <description>Lucee Web Directory (for Website-specific configurations, settings, and libraries)</description>

    </init-param>

    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

</servlet>

"I assume that you want to move the folder {webroot}/WEB-INF/lucee"

Yes exactly!

I fugured it out.

"/opt/lucee/webcontexts" existed on the server and was writeable by my tomcat user.

but not "/opt/lucee/webcontexts/dev1"

I created the "dev1" directory and restarted tomcat, i could see in the catalina.out that it was now being used.

This is not the behavior I am used to.

In the past, I would see an error in catalina.out when the directory did not exist.

Thanks
