Description jesperdj 2004-12-23 21:43:09 UTC 
I have JDK 1.5.0, Tomcat 5.5.4 and NetBeans 4.0.

Besides the bundled Tomcat 5.0.28 I added my
Tomcat 5.5.4 to the server registry in NetBeans.
The Tomcat 5.5.4 is freshly installed and runs on
port 8080.

I created a simple web application project (the
JSTLExample included with NetBeans) and changed
the project properties to deploy it on Tomcat 5.5.4.

I manually start Tomcat 5.5.4 (outside NetBeans)
and then try to run the webapp. I get the
following in the output window:

init:
deps-jar:
compile:
compile-jsps:
run-deploy:
In-place deployment at
C:\jejong\netbeans\JSTLExample\build\web
FAIL - Invalid context path null was specified
Deployment FAILED: FAIL - Invalid context path
null was specified
C:\jejong\netbeans\JSTLExample\nbproject\build-impl.xml:280:
org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.deployment.devmodules.api.Deployment$DeploymentException:
Deployment failed.
BUILD FAILED (total time: 2 seconds)


Deployment fails with a message "FAIL - Invalid
context path null was specified".

Tomcat 5.5.x is not supported in NB4.0. Support will be implemented in
4.1 - see issue 49135.
