Thank you for explaining about the META-INF location. Mine is following
exactly the same pattern as you described, but still the servlet

mappings are not functioning when using the META-INF/context.xml.

Hence my example below.

(p.s. just reply to the group, not me as well.)

When you define a Context inside the Host, the path attribute is permitted. When you define a Context elsewhere the path attribute is not permitted, (as Chris explained), but the path is defined by the directory name, or the .war file name. ROOT is a special name for the default context, it's upper case and is the means used to define the default context. You can't define the default context using another name if you're using the recommended method of deploying a context.

Do you have any clues why this could be happening? The mappings work
fine when inside the host element in server.xml.

One META-INF/context.xml per Context is the intended usage.

The appBase "../your/app/base" should contain:

.../app/base/ROOT/index.jsp
.../app/base/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml
.../app/base/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml

.../app/base/Other/index.jsp
.../app/base/Other/WEB-INF/web.xml
.../app/base/Other/META-INF/context.xml


for "/index.jsp" and "/Other/index.jsp", where ROOT is the location for
the default Context.

Chris,

This didn't help. Removing them is not generating errors, the servlet

It doesn't make sense to remove the path and the docBase. Especially

still loads on startup, but then the mapping don't work.

the

docBase, it specifies the Context Root. If it's empty, it probably

uses

the host appBase for root, but this is incorrect. I should be able to
specify the context root. What about the cases when there are more

than

one contexts per host?

The problem seems to be somewhere else, but thanks for the advise.

Take out the "path" and "docBase" parameters. They are either illegal

or

ill-advised when using META-INF/context.xml.

This might not be /the/ problem, but you should definitely remove

those

two attributes.
