The intent of the Servlet and JSP specs is to define the environment for execution of web _applications_, not arbitrary JSP files. All JSP files must be part of some context; you can use ROOT if no other context is appropriate. By default, each subdirectory and war file under the host's appBase should be a deployable webapp, using the file structure defined by the servlet spec. Tomcat lets you avoid building such a file structure if you place a <Context> element in the conf/[engine]/[host]/[appname].xml file. If I intrepreted your requirements properly, you should try the following: 1) Specify "/path/to/public_html" as your host's appBase. 2) Put your ROOT.xml in conf/[engine]/[host] specifying a docBase of "servlet". 3) Place your unassociated JSP files in the /path/to/public_html/servlet directory. 4) Put your war files or app directories (expanded wars) in the /path/to/public_html directory (NOT /path/to/public_html/servlet). The name of each subdirectory or war file becomes the URI path to the app. 5) Do not put a WEB-INF subdirectory under /path/to/public_htmi/servlet, unless you want the contents of that subdirectory deployed as both the default app and "servlet". - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
