Actually, you don't need either, not for simple connection testing. What the OP was doing will suffice for his purposes - the jsp runs as part of the default app (ROOT). (For example, this is exactly how the reference to admin is handled when the optional admin app is not installed.) Real, independent webapps may or may not need a <Context> element, depending on whether or not the defaults in conf/context.xml suffice; you can even get away without a WEB-INF if the app is simple enough (e.g., all static content) and has its docBase specified explicitly. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
