At the moment, I don't have my development files arranged in a "webapp" structure (with WEB-INF, etc.). I was developing directly underneath /path/to/tomcat/webapps with everything expanded, and I recently moved it all to a different location. I thought I was doing it "right" actually, but now I see the error of my ways. ;) I also didn't realize that "docBase" could *be* anywhere outside of the Tomcat directory structure! Rearranging everything now... thanks for the advice. -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Arizona State University PA Information Resources Management
