(I'm going to get a rubber stamp for this one.) The path attribute is not allowed when <Context> is in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appname].xml, and the docBase attribute must not be used if the app is deployed under the <Host>'s appBase directory. Read the description of the path attribute for the <Context> element: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html You would normally name the default app ROOT.war, as the doc states, and place it in the appBase directory (webapps, by default). If you insist on naming the .war something else, then keep it outside of Tomcat's directory structure, and put your <Context> element in conf/Catalina/[host]/ROOT.xml with a docBase attribute pointing to the location of the .war file (do not include a path attribute). > Can anyone figure out what I'm doing wrong?
