Hi,

We install a webapp under tomcat\webapps\mywebapp by exploding the
appropriately named war file.

However, we need users to be able to reference it by typing in
http://myserver/differentName.

I tried adding a mywebapp.xml file under C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.12
\conf\Catalina\localhost with the context definition:

      <context name="/differentName" path="/mywebapp"/>

but I get an error

      "WARNING: A docBase C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.12\webapps\mywebapp  inside
the host appBase has been specified, and will be ignored"

I *think* I can get around this by placing the webapp outside of the
\webapps folder, but then I lose the ability to explode the war.

It seems to work ok if I place the context definition in server.xml, but
that's not recommended by the docs.

What am I missing - surely this is possible?

cheers,

David
