look for the line that looks something like this
        <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>

then add another one just like it but change the "path" and "docBase" 
attributes to your app

path: This is what you want the URL to be eg.     localhost:8080/myApp wil 
look like this   <Context path="/myApp" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>
docbase: This is where your app is located... if it is in the webapps dir. 
you can add it like this: 
<Context path="/myApp" docBase="myApp" debug="0"/>

if is someware else do it like this
<Context path="/myApp" docBase="/home/frank/myapp" debug="0"/>

I have opened it - honest!
   It's all Dutch to me (foreign). I saw:

- <parameter>
  <name>pathname</name>
  <value>conf/tomcat-users.xml</value>
  </parameter>

which is possibly the nearest thing to what may be a 'context' to a 
directory ie a path (obviously not this particular instance but something 
like).
    How may I add a 'context' to server.xml to  enable access to 
http://localhost:8080/[WEBAPPNAME] for example? I need syntax!

Thanks again

E.
