What is proper deployment plan when xmlns:webusing <web:host>?   

Here's what my original thread post should have been... Not sure what happened there...

When I use proper WASCE v2.1 namespace in my geronimo-web.xml, and add the <web:host> for a virtual host, Eclipse tells me that its invalid. It deploys fine, so I guess its correct?

Here's the Eclipse error:

cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'web:host'. One of '{"http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1":work-dir, "http://
geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2":web-container, "http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1":container-config, "http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/
naming-1.2":abstract-naming-entry, "http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2":ejb-ref, "http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2":ejb-local-ref, "http://
geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2":service-ref, "http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2":resource-ref, "http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2":resource-
env-ref, "http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2":message-destination, "http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1":security-realm-name, "http://
geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.2":service, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence":persistence}' is expected.

Here's the relevant sections of geronimo-web.xml:

<web:web-app
xmlns:web="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1"
xmlns:app="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/application-2.0"

<web:context-root>/</web:context-root>
<web:host>www.myvirtualhost.com</web:host>

Is the XSD in the GEP incorrect? I don't see anything for 'host' in the schema doc either (http://geronimo.apache.org/schemas-2.1/docs/geronimo-web-2.0.1.xsd.html).

If this is any kind of bug I'll submit it to JIRA but thought I'd check here first.

I had found that tomcat doc and tried that, but it appeared to not work. However, I just tried again and this time realized what I'd missed before.

My index.jsp does work, but the redirect to my JSF page fails. The browser displays HTTP 400 Bad Request.

The server.log has zero output for this failed request.

I am using JSF 1.2 with Facelets 1.1.14. My JSF RI is whatever v1.2.x MyFaces that comes with WASCE v2.1.1.3, and I've only added Tomahawk 1.1.9 so nothing too crazy there.

Here's my /var/config/config.xml snippet:

<gbean gbeanInfo="org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.HostGBean"
	name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/tomcat6/2.1.1/car?ServiceModule=org.apache.geronimo.configs/tomcat6/2.1.1/car,j2eeType=Host,name=TestWebApp">
	<attribute name="className">org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost</attribute>
	<attribute name="initParams">name=test.teamhuber.com
		appBase=
		workDir=work</attribute>
</gbean>

And here's my valid geronimo-web.xml snippet:

<web:container-config>
	<tomcat:web-app>
		<tomcat:context-root>/</tomcat:context-root>
		<tomcat:host>TestWebApp</tomcat:host>
	</tomcat:web-app>
</web:container-config>

When I use the following in my geronimo-web.xml, everything (JSP and JSF) works (just my XML is invalid):

<web:context-root>/</web:context-root>
<web:host>test.teamhuber.com</web:host>

David, you might need to define <context-root/> with a specific value instead of using <context-root>/</context-root>.

<context-root>/</context-root> was already used by an embedded plug-in called org.apache.geronimo.configs/welcome-tomcat/2.1.4/car , I think it's also the reason you noticed '/WebApp_ID' as application URL in Admin Console.

If there is more problems, you can attach your project zip here for further investigation.

It deployed as /WebApp_ID when I left out the <context-root> in my plan.

Using a <context-root>/</context-root> I get a deployment error that its not unique. Eventually, I want multiple virtual hosts at the root, so I was leaving the welcome-tomcat installed and running.

Like I said, that all works fine until I try to use proper XML (or at least what I think is proper XML, posted above).

I can't post my project as-is, but will create a test sample and post that soon.
