[opencms-dev] OpenCMS as Root Application

[Nick DeSteffen]

I'm trying to install OpenCMS 6.2 on Tomcat 5.5.17 as the root/default 
application.  For example, the URL for OpenCMS would be 
http://localhost:8080/opencms instead of 
http://localhost:8080/opencms/opencms.

Here are the steps I've done thus far...

1. I configured Tomcat to use opencms as the root application. 

2. I modified the opencms web.xml file OpenCMSServlet context parameter as 
follows...

<context-param>
  <param-name>OpenCmsServlet</param-name>
  <param-value>/opencms/*</param-value>
</context-param>

3. I uncommented and modified the web.xml file WebApplicationContext 
context parameter as follows...

<!-- 
        Uncomment this parameter in case you change the web application 
context using an application server 
        specific deployment descriptor. E.g. in Jboss, you could use the 
jboss-web.xml file to deploy opencms under the
        context 'myopencms' but still keep the files in the folder 
'opencms.war' -->

<context-param>
  <param-name>WebApplicationContext</param-name>
  <param-value></param-value>
</context-param>


When I uncomment/change the WebApplicationContext context parameter the 
actual site works, however the Admin application does not work.  The urls 
are wrong.  For instance the image on the login page has a url of 
http://resources/commons/login_logo.png, which is obviously wrong.  Once I 
login to the admin application I get DNS errors in the package explorer 
and broken images. 

If I leave the WebApplicationContext context parameter commented out the 
urls within the actual site are wrong.  A link to another Opencms page now 
displays the url as /opencms/opencms/.... 

Am I missing something?  How can I get the site and admin application to 
both work when installing OpenCMS as the default application?

Thanks in advance for any help, it is greatly appreciated!
