[basex-talk] Fwd: Use BaseX in embedded mode on tomcat

Hi Christian,

thanks for your answer. You are perfectly right, there was another (stupid) mistake by myself which crashes the execution but was closely related to the printed and caught exception. Now it works as expected. Thanks again!

Hi Christian,

thanks for the observation. With 8.0, we switched to Java 7 and java.nio, so it could be that the check for finding the application directory fails.

I just looked at the stack trace, and I wondered if the error does really break your code, or if it simply output to stderr (due to the catch clause, see [1])?

Feedback from other Tomcat users is appreciated, Christian

Hi all,

I just want to ask shortly whether it is generally possible to run BaseX in embedded mode within a webapp on tomcat?

Using a very simple examle like this:

Throws me an error on Context context = new Context();

........

The same code works great when executing locally (e.g. within JUnit tests). Do you have any ideas? Is it generally possible or do I need to deploy the war application?

Thanks in advance, Christian
