<Context path="/urlPath" docBase="/com/packagename" ... > #path is the context path of the webapp which is matched against the requesting URI to choose appropriate webapp to process (all paths must be unique) #docBase maps the urlPath to physical docBase (which can either be absolute path or relative to webapps) #embedding context elements within server.xml has been replaced by encapsulating context.xml for each webapp #$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/WebApp/META-INF/context.xml
#within context You also have the capability of passing in initialisation parameters via <Parameter in context.xml #or Environment settings via <Environment parameter #If you have JDBC resources You can also declare ResourceParams for jdbc connections via <ResourceParams #You can also declare global JNDI resource via <ResourceLink Doc available at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/context.html Mod-jk #mod_jk JkAutoAlias maps all web application context directories into Apache document space..you DONT want to do this if you want to give Tomcat #control of the folder as in the example illustrated here JkAutoAlias /export/home/web/host2/webapps JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 JkMount /*/servlet/ ajp13 #A single webapp mapped into Apache document space can be accomplished via Alias as in this example Alias /examples /export/home/web/host1/webapps/examples JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 JkMount /*/servlet/ ajp13 All of this depends on how you are configuring your Context listener as in this example <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appbase="webapps" > <Listener className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.ApacheConfig" append="true" forwardAll="true"/ > /> #where the most significant parameter forwardAll = "true" will direct apache to forward your context listener requests to tomcat #verify these settings by viewing mod-jk.conf The only question I have is why not let tomcat run standalone?
