Charles, To follow up on this thread, is it possible for the appBase and the docBase to be set the same? I believe I've tried this but it required me to put the appBase within or under the docBase folder.
To simplify the issue, I would like all servlets/jsps/war files to be all in public_html. I believe I posted another thread with regards to that (perhaps we are having email issues), I also tried looking into the docs to see if there are any restrictions to these, if you have any docs/links I will try to folow them to understand them more.. perhaps I just don't understand how they really work yet. (learning tomcat stage). I will try to setup what you've mentioned, perhaps this will give me an idea how to make them work.

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.
