Considerations for Migrating Web Applications
from NSJSP 6.0 to NSJSP 6.1
Table 7-12 lists the prerequisites of NSJSP 6.0 and NSJSP 6.1.
You need not make any changes to the web applications to migrate to NSJSP 6.1.
However, in the container, there are some changes in the application deployment
behavior with respect to the context definitions.
If an application defines its own context definition in META-INF/context.xml of the
application, NSJSP 6.1 copies the context.xml to
<NSJSP_HOME>/conf/<engine_name>/<host_name> with the name <context
name>.xml. For example, if foo.war is deployed and if the .war files contain META-
INF/context.xml, this file is extracted from the .war and is then copied as
foo.xml. During subsequent restarts, the context for this application is read from
foo.xml rather than from the META-INF/context.xml of the .war file. This
behavior allows the context to be dynamically modified and persisted using the Admin
Web application.
Although applications can be deployed by copying the application resources, such as,
.war file or the application directory, to the webapps folder of the NSJSP 6.1
installation, HP recommends that you deploy the applications using the NSJSP
Manager as it enables you to specify the context name of the application that you are
deploying.
For information on the default files where logs are written, see Logging Configuration of
Servlet Container Components on page 7-15.
