For now, I placed a test .jsp file in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT directory. I haven't deployed a .war file yet.

For example, if your app is called tutorial, it would have it's <Context> element in the file $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/tutorial.xml where $CATALINA_BASE is the top level of your tomcat installation. 2) If deploying as a .war file, the file is named 'context.xml' and placed in the META-INF directory of the war archive. Tomcat will read it when deploying the application. --David Mattier, Ricardo wrote: >Where should the context.xml file be placed, and what else should go in >this file?
