> Rename > C:\apache-tomcat-8.0.9\webapps\external-references\META-INF\context.xml > to > C:\apache-tomcat-8.0.9\conf\Catalina\localhost\external-references.xml The doc for <Context> has a somewhat incomplete statement for the docBase attribute: "The value of this field must not be set unless the Context element is defined in server.xml or the docBase is not located under the Host's appBase." In actuality, it should probably read something like this: "The value of this field must not be set unless either: 1) the Context element is defined in server.xml, or 2) the Context element is in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ and docBase is not located under the Host's appBase." - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
