Hi all, especially Jake Thanks for that - I had worked that out the hard way - but the alternative you give will be my way ahead (assuming it works in my env).
Thanks for that Jake.

What you will need to do is stop Tomcat, manually expand the .war file to a directory named "shilton" and then restart. alternatively, you can avoid editing the server.xml and put this in a context configuration file. See the admin.xml and manager.xml files in "webapps" for examples. Basically, you just copy your entire <Context ...> entry to a separate .xml file. I'd name it the same thing as your webapp to make it clear what that file if for, but I don't think that is a requirement. Either way, you need to manually expand your .war file *before* tomcat is restarted. Alternatively, you can start Tomcat (making sure to have removed the <Context ...> entry from server.xml), create your context configuration file and name it "context.xml". Put that in META-INF of your .war file, and then use the Tomcat manager app's "deploy" command to deploy your .war file. Modify your context to have a docbase with the name of the .war file (I believe). The easiest way to do this is to use the catalina ant manager tasks.
