No, they're different concepts. The appBase attribute defines the default location for your collection of webapps for a given host; if autoDeploy is on, all .war files and properly formatted subdirectories under appBase are deployed at Tomcat startup. The docBase attribute is the specific directory or .war file for a single webapp, and is defined in that webapp's <Context> element. If the webapp is stored under appBase, you may not even need a <Context> element and you must not have a docBase setting. The docBase attribute should be used only when the webapp's <Context> element is in an .xml file under conf/[engine]/[host] or in server.xml (as noted previously, the latter is strongly discouraged). > To simplify the issue, I would like all servlets/jsps/war files to be > all in public_html. You're mixing up entities from different levels of the hierarchy. A .war file contains a complete webapp - a standalone component; a servlet or .jsp is part of a webapp - not a standalone component. All servlets and jsps must be part of some webapp or another, as noted in the previous posting you quoted. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
