One more question - Can I have a blank web.xml under C:\myapp-share\jsps\WEB-INF? Or do I need to put something there?

That can work, but your C:\myapp-share\jsps directory will need a WEB-INF folder and WEB-INF/web.xml per the servlet spec. Then you'll have to write a file named jsps.xml with the <Context path="/htmlPath" docbase="C:\\myapp-share\\jsps" /> element in it and place that within conf/Catalina/localhost of your tomcat app. Given you aren't putting the webapp in the tomcat webapps directory, you can declare the path attribute to be any path that fits into your site design. At the end of it all, any collection of jsps has to be put together in a valid web application as defined by the servlet spec before it can be served up by tomcat. Then you can mount the jsps webapp in Apache Httpd using mod_jk and the JkMount directive. The documentation on the tomcat website is your friend here. --David Victor Huang wrote: > Thanks David. > I'm using Tomcat 5.5.23 and Apache 2.2.4, JK-1.2.22 on Windows XP > > I understand that I can put JSPs into TOMCAT-INSTALL\webapps\* (I tried it > and it worked) but that doesn't solve my issue.
