RAP application with entrypoint path defined to "/" is not working on Tomcat7

My RAP application has entrypoint defined following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.rap.ui.entrypoint">
      <entrypoint
            brandingId="com.ibm.kc.redirect.validator.rap.branding"                
            class="com.ibm.kc.redirect.validator.rap.app.ApplicationWorkbench"
            id="entrypoint"
            path="/">
      </entrypoint>
   </extension>
...

It works fine with IBM WAS Liberty but not on Tomcat7. Tomcat's context root is same as name of war in webapps. So when I access localhost:8080/kc-redirect-tester it should work.I defined entry point to "/" means servlet path after context root is only "/". I see lot of 404 where RWT resources going to localhost:8080/, like they had no idea of tomcat's context root.

Solution

  • In tomcat7, http://127.0.0.1:8080/{appname}/ The appname must be the name of the war (eg. appname.war) and not the value of in your web.xml servlet definition file. then add the context "/", => http://127.0.0.1:8080/{appname}/ (don't forget the last "/")
