not able to deploy, context file broken

Question

i used tomcat 7 and netbeans 7.4

when i start my web application i get

Cannot deploy the module. The context.xml file seems to be broken. Check whether it is

Answer 1

Figured it out. The Netbeans deployment process wants you to add 1 simple parameter to the Context tag, namely: path. It needs to know what path the application will be on.

For example, this was my (opening) Context tag:

<Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/sas/">

My application is deployed at the /sas/ context root.

And now, Netbeans deploys my application without any further errors.

FYI: the antiJARLocking is something I put in to avoid locking of JAR's. It's not mandatory. For more information on the antiJARLocking, refer to the documentation over at: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html
