filemaps.config

The filemaps.config file includes the NSJSP-specific filemap directive. For more

information on the filemap directive, see iTP Secure WebServer Administrator’s Guide.

The entries in the filemaps.config file are referred by the SERVLET ServerClass

and the NSJSPADMIN ServerClass during startup to determine the correct context path

for the application.

For example, consider a new application called orders and assume that

com.tandem.servlet.CONTEXT_PREFIXES is set to /servlet_jsp. Depending

on whether there is an entry in filemaps.config for the orders application, the

following is true:



If filemaps.config includes filemap/orders during startup, the orders

application is deployed under the context /orders and not in

/servlet_jsp/orders.



If filemaps.config does not include any entry for the orders application,

during startup it is deployed as /servlet_jsp/orders.

Any application deployed using the Manager application can request the NSJSPADMIN

ServerClass to add the context path as a Filemap for HTTPD routing purpose. You

must place all user-defined filemaps in the file filemaps.config because it is

managed by the NSJSPADMIN ServerClass.

Deploying Web Applications

You can deploy a web application using any of the methods listed below:



Deploying web applications using context.xml



Deploying web applications on NSJSP startup



Deploying web applications on a running NSJSP server



Deploying web applications using NSJSP Manager



Deploying web applications using NSJSP Client Deployer

Deploying web applications using context.xml

A context descriptor, context.xml, is required to configure a context within the

NSJSP server. A context descriptor is an XML file that contains the NSJSP

configuration for a context. For more information on deploying a web application using

context.xml, refer http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/deployer-howto.html.

Note. During the Restart process of NSJSP, the container refers the filemaps.config file

to verify the context path of all the applications that are deployed. The filemaps for Manager

and Admin applications are present in the nsjspadmin.config file but are not verified.
