Uhh! Ok, that's what I wanted to hear and it is evident that Context's path is being ignored but why HTTP 400? Anyway, I do not believe the "name" of context file has any bearing on the URI that must be specified.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/deployer-howto.html says, "If a Context Descriptor is not provided for a Context, Tomcat automatically creates one and places it in (1) with a filename of [webappname].xml although if manually created, the ___filename need not match the web application name___ as Tomcat is concerned only with the Context configuration contained within the Context Descriptor file(s)." And that holds true if I change conf/enginename/vh.host.com/myapp.xml to yourapp.xml. After restarting Tomcat, it still requires me to specify myapp/ for the URI, so it comes down to the name of the directory (appBase + docBase) where the web application is being deployed, in this case "myapp". Anyway, thank you for verifying that. Sincerely, Evan On 8/20/06, Mark Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I had assumed you were specifying the context inside server.xml. Using the configuration above the path will be ignored and the name of the context.xml file used instead as per http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html Which changes my last post to: http://vh.host.com/myapp/eservlets/myservlet If you name the file ROOT.xml the the URL becomes: http://vh.host.com/eservlets/myservlet HTH, Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
