You don't explicitly say where your <Context> element is, but the implication is that it's inside a file named context.xml in your webapp's META-INF directory. If that is the case, both the path and docBase attributes are ignored. See: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html Look at the descriptions for the two attributes in question. The docBase attribute is intended to provide the location of the webapp, not a link to external resources. Tomcat versions after 5.5.9 seem to have tightened up enforcement of the configuration rules. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
