I have finally a working configuration. Please refer to the bottom of
this email
for the directory structure.
In server.xml I changed appBase="webapps" (original value)
htdocs.xml is renamed as ROOT.xml as Rashmi suggested with
docBase="${catalina.home}/htdocs
Then I am able to type http://localhost:8080 which in turn looks up
index.html from
the htdocs directory
Even so, I have some more questions and my understanding is not that
clear yet.
I will post the questions in my next email.
Thanks
Lakshmi

Hi Rashmi,
Thanks! I renamed htdocs.xml to ROOT.xml.
http://localhost:8080 did not work.
However, http://localhost:8080/htdocs/index.html worked which is some
progress.
I think my organization would prefer only http://localhost:8080
I am confused between the concepts appBase, docBase and path.
So given the directory structure below, what should be the values of
appBase, docBase and path so http://localhost:8080 looks for index.html
under htdocs.
Thanks again
Lakshmi

Hi Lakshmi,
Rename the context file from htdocs.xml to ROOT.xml then you should be
able to access the app at http://localhost:8080/

I have upgraded from Tomcat 3.3 to Tomcat 5.5.23. It is running on
WinXP and I am using Java 1.5.
Here's my dierctory set up:
${Catalina.Home}
-- conf
-- Catalina
--localhost
htdocs.xml
-- htdocs
index.html
--bin
--html
--jsp
--css
--jar
--WEB-INF
web.xml
--classes
--lib
--webapps
In server.xml, I modified the <Host> element to have {appBase="htdocs"
autoDeploy="false"}
I am using htdocs.xml in ${Catalina.home}/Catalina/localhost as the
context descriptor and is defined as follows:
<Context docBase="${catalina.home}" override="true" privileged="true">
<Loader className="com.example.appClassLoader" reloadable="true"/>
<!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<!-- Uncomment this to disable session persistence across Tomcat
restarts -->
<Manager pathname="" />
</Context>
Tomcat is able to load appClassLoader. However, when I type,
http://localhost:8080, it is not able to load
the index.html found under the htdocs directory. If I create ROOT
directory and move the index.html over there it is able to load it.
I guess, my main problem is how can I maintain the same directory
structure as above without having to create ROOT and move everything
below it? The above directory structure worked in Tomcat 3.3.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Lakshmi
