http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html Context definitions in server.xml are strongly discouraged in recent releases of Tomcat. Remove the definition with the empty path attribute. (We'll address the admin/manager apps later). DO NOT use the path or docBase attribute in a Context defined outside of server.xml. (The path is determined from the WAR or deployed application directory.) The default Context for a Host is known as the ROOT Context, this is a special name and the capitalisation is important. If you're deploying your app as the default, you should rename the WAR (or the directory if it's unpacked/deployed) accordingly. your/webapps/ROOT.war your/webapps/ROOT/ << unpacked files If you want to store the files outside of the tomcat directory, just alter the appBase attribute of the host. The following illustrates this: /my/sites/www.domain.com/webapps/ROOT /my/sites/www.domain.com/webapps/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml <Host appBase="/my/sites/www.domain.com/webapps" name="domain.com" ...> p > Thanks, > Ken > > Caldarale, Charles R wrote: >>> From: Ken Bowen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Weird problem: Two >>> apparent copies of app started >>> >>> strongbrain/WEB-INF/lib/servlet-api.jar >>> >> >> One obvious error: you must not put the servlet-api.jar inside your >> webapp - the container supplies that.
