I meant WAR file not JAR. As far as server.xml, how else does one specify the specifics, such as the path variable?

Here are the two application contexts:

        <Context crossContext="true" debug="0"
            docBase="AccountManager"
            path="/accntManager" reloadable="true">
          <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                     prefix="localhost_accntmanager_log." suffix=".txt"
              timestamp="true"/>
         </Context>

        <Context crossContext="true" debug="0"
            docBase="GroupAliases"
            path="/mailtools/aliases" reloadable="true">
          <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                     prefix="localhost_aliases_log." suffix=".txt"
              timestamp="true"/>
        </Context>

... and so the klaxons sound once again.

I'll try to beat Chuck's standard rapid fire response to this question.







(N.B. There's no Logger element any more either, see the docs.)

Recent versions of Tomcat recommend that the Context is defined in a separate file in one of a couple of locations. Read the docs at tomcat.apache.org for more detailed info. If you're deploying via a WAR file you can put a context.xml file in META-INF, which will produce the effect you're looking for. The context path is determined by the name of the WAR, and not the path attribute of the Context, (which is deprecated and only acknowledged when defining a Context in server.xml - seriously discouraged these days).

The AccountManager app works fine, but the "GroupAliases" generates this error:

From: Rob Tanner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem deploying existing webapp in new Tomcat container

I installed Sun Java jdk1.6.0 and apache-tomcat-6.0.13. I copied over
the server.xml config for the first web aplication as well as the JAR
file and everything worked fine.

That sounds a bit scary, since webapps are not supposed to be configured
in server.xml anymore, and they should be packaged in .war files, not
JARs.  You need to at least post your config, since that's likely where
the problem is.
