Deploy in tomcat

[bevrard]

I'm trying to deploy a war in Tomcat, but there is no ressources (html,css, js, etc) in the war.

I've developped using spring boot, but at the end I'm building the application. I was thinking to use the war build in the target repository of wallride-bootstrap.

Do you know what I'm missing to have the ressources in the war? or I should declare something like this in the pom of wallride-bootstrap?

<properties>        
    <start-class>mypackage.App</start-class>
</properties>

Thanks

The war application (gamedella.war) is placed in :

/opt/tomcat8/webapps

The configuration file is :

/opt/tomcat8/conf/Catalina/localhost/gamedella.xml

In this file:

<Context docBase="gamedella">
  <Parameter name="wallride.home" value="/usr/share/tomcat8/gamedella"
         override="false"/>
  <Environment name="wallride.home" value="/usr/share/tomcat8/gamedella/" type="java.lang.String" override="false"/>
</Context>

But when I try to start the service, I have this error:

Do you know what I'm missing?

Hi @bevrard,

In the latest WallRide version the startup logic has been changed. Due to this, setting wallride.home by init-parameter in Tomcat is not supported now. For the deployment war archive to Tomcat, please set System property by setenv.[sh|bat] file.

For example: Linux

<Tomcat installation directory>/bin/setenv.sh
export JAVA_OPTS="-Dwallride.home=file:/path/to/home/"

Windows

<Tomcat installation directory>/bin/setenv.bat
set JAVA_OPTS=-Dwallride.home=file:/path/to/home/

In case you set the file system path to wallride.home, don't forget to set prefix "file:" We're sorry we haven't update the document right away! Hope that helps.

After trying multiple "solutions", I'm using yours ;-). I'm defining the path in the WallrideInitializer with different values following the environment and I use the JAVA_OPTS to define the environment (DEV,UAT, PROD).
It's not the best solution, I can deploy multiple websites in the same Tomcat.

Thanks!
