Ugly Bug in Tomcat Addon of Plesk

[Chris_Becker]

Hi, I realized, there is a reproducible bug in the Tomcat Addon.

When you deploy a Java-Application in a container "sample.war" you will be able to access the corresponding application under http://theurl.tld/sample

But I want to be able to access the Java-Application under http://theurld.tld/

In case of a Tomcat server you need to rename the War-file to "ROOT.war". The bug is, that Plesk maps the application to http://theurl.tld/ROOT because obviously the special but most important case of "ROOT" has no special handling. And under http://theurl.tld/ROOT you get a tomcat error message, because tomcat deployed the ROOT.war correctly.

In my opinion this is a really critical bug, and it is really easy to fix.

I would be really thankful to close the bug very recent, because without it I (and everybody else) has almost no possibility to use the tomcat addon, because almost EVERY customer want to deploy the java app as a ROOT-App.

Official documentation for the special case of ROOT.war can be found at: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html#General

Really, there is this known limitation of Tomcat implementation in Plesk. Sorry, but at the moment we haven't plans for fixing it soon. You can vote and describe your case here - https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/...42-deploy-tomcat-application-as-root-contexto
