.war file deployed in tomcat server but getting Error 404 that is resource not available

spring maven tomcat war

11,522

Solution 1

I'm using tomcat 8 and it had a file called context.xml in tomcat's conf. I added the line

path="" docBase="NameOfWar" debug="0" reloadable="true"

in that file inside the <Context></Context> tag and it worked.

Solution 2

i notice that the application context is "/Advocatoree" from the last lines in your attached log not "/advocatoree" try to change a to capital A

I have deployed my .war file of a spring mvc project in tomcat server but I'm getting an error 404 saying that the resource is not available All the other example applications on tomcat server is running except for mine. I have seen the other similar questions here and I've followed everyone of them and still getting error.

I have mapped the project as /advocatoree/dashboard

Can someone please help me with it?

This is my log:

My problem has been slightly redefined, in the sense that tomcat, by default, adds the name of the .war file to the URL mapping. For example, as I have mentioned earlier, my defined URL mapping is /advocatoree/dashboard but what tomcat does instead, is, it changes it to /Advocatoree/advocatoree/dashboard where Advocatoree is the name of my .war file. Is there any way that I can get rid of the first 'Advocatoree' in the URL? I have to, otherwise, change all the URL mappings and tags in my project, manually.
