unpackwars="false" should only mean that the app runs from the packed .war

I do also have a web.xml but I don't see where this comes in to the
configuration of the <Host> elements?

Hello Andoni, so did u look at ur httpd.conf directives: <directory...,
<alias... etc? but tc is a web server too when requests r handed off from
apache. tc looks at "/" as docbase or appbase root so what u have in ur

war

file becomes /<application_context> where <application_context> is the web
app u have defined 4 tc to unpack. i don't see how the web app can execute
if unpackWARS="false". r u defining a web.xml at all or r u only

interested

in configuring server.xml? thanx, david.

Hello Andoni, for sake of experimentation or argument try a minimally uncommented server.xml and go w/ ur web.xml (below WEB-INF not $CATALINE_HOME/conf/web.xml). in fact this begs the question: WEB-INF is created when the .war file is unpacked. this is the whole beauty of .ear, .war, .jar techonoly namely one word: deployment. i have 4 domains running and a lot of servlets and jsp running over the range of tc services running both http and https. i can make any number of reasonable changes, update and redeploy w/o a user so much as noticing a hiccup. all of dev is more or less directly from tc docs reflected in books, online how-to's and ml's such as this one. follow the instructions of these resource and u should succeed. that's my $0.02, david.
