I just recently downloaded the tomcat 3.3m3 zip
to my Windows 2000 desktop.
When I go to http://localhost:8080, how does it
know to go to the index.html file in my
wepapps/ROOT directory? (I'm assuming this *is*
where it's going?)
In my server.xml file, I don't see a <Context>
tag like I've been reading about. But near the
end of that file it says something about how
ContectXmlReader reads all the context definitions.
Near the top I do see:
<ContectXmlReader config="conf/apps.xml">
But in that conf directory I don't see an
apps.xml. However I do see:
apps-127.0.0.1.xml
apps-admin.xml
apps-examples.xml
Is the apps-127.0.0.1.xml being read somehow?
Can someone explain the process of what happens
from the time you enter localhost:8080 in your
browser, to how the page gets served up?
Thanks!
