Sounds like you need to become familiar with the servlet spec (JSR-154). The syntax and semantics of web.xml are defined by the spec, but the <Context> element is unique to Tomcat, defining container-specific items not covered by the spec. > First of all, which does tomcat look at first ? Don't know, and I don't think it matters. Both have to be examined. The real question is which one overrides if there are conflicts between the two; I can't answer it because I haven't looked at that portion of the code. > So I was under the impression that META-INF was more normally > used to place .jars or .wars, That's completely wrong. Jars go into WEB-INF/lib (as required by the servlet spec); .war files are packaged webapps and must be placed in a container specified deployment location. > what does the 'auth' attribute for ? It specifies whether the container or the webapp is responsible for any authentication required to utilize the resource. Again, read the servlet spec. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
