Sorry, I didn't catch the other one. Tomcat 5.5x on xp
If I deploy the webapp in ROOT, then the structure would look like this: $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/root/mywebapp. And the index.html would still live in root .. isn't that correct. So I would still need a way to go from the root/index.html to the mywebapp/index.html correct? This is where it gets confusing.

For 5.5.x, the default webapp is the one located in webapps/ROOT.war or the webapps/ROOT directory. > Can I somehow configure this to go to the above > $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/mywebapp/index.html? Deploy your webapp in webapps/ROOT, not webapps/mywebapp. > I get confused when the doc states that the entry in the host > must also have a context entry? Can anyone clarify that. Where does it say that? The current doc states that you _can_ nest <Context> tags inside <Host>, not that you must. Putting <Context> tags in server.xml is strongly discouraged these days, but not all of the doc has caught up to that fact. > Here from the docs > > Exactly one of the Hosts associated with each Engine MUST have a name > matching the defaultHost attribute of that Engine. That attribute for simple Tomcat installations is "localhost", which you already have. Nothing to do with contexts. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
