Unfortunately, not all of the Tomcat doc has been updated to reflect the current recommended usage of placing <Context> elements in your webapp's META-INF/context.xml file. As Pid pointed out, the most accurate description is here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html Even that has some discrepancies (e.g., use of the path attribute in the Access Logs and Request Filters examples). To summarize the rules: 1) Never put <Context> entries in server.xml. 2) Never use a path attribute in a <Context> element. 3) Only use a docBase attribute when the <Context> element is in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appname].xml and the webapp is stored outside of the <Host>'s appBase directory. 4) Use the name ROOT for the default webapp of each <Host>. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
