Hi Jake, Thanks for getting back so quick. So the context file in META-INF should be context.xml and not myapp.xml?
That is maybe where I have been going wrong, I read some previous posts on this from Craig and I thought he said you name the context file with the name of your app and a .xml extension. I'll try what you say.
