Description Sylvain Laurent CLA 2011-12-06 16:36:07 EST 
Build Identifier: 

Following on bug 333102, tomcat 7 (from 7.0.24) will provide all the necessary classes to make the "Serve modules without publishing" feature work out of the box, provided the correct xml configuration is specified.

WTP should be updated to make use of this feature for versions >= 7.0.24
The necessary tomcat config is here (snapshot doc for the moment, since 7.0.24 has not been released yet) : http://ci.apache.org/projects/tomcat/tomcat7/docs/config/context.html#Virtual_webapp



Reproducible: Always

Assigning to me.  I'll see what I can do for WTP 3.3.2 and 3.4.

I don't mean to nag, but is there any progress on this issue? It has been 10 months since the last update. I can confirm this problem still exists using WTP 3.4 and Tomcat 7.0.29. It would be great if this could be fixed again.
Comment 3 Lefebvre JF CLA 2013-02-18 02:42:57 EST 
Any workaround ?
