The straightforward solution is to change the name of your webapp's directory to ROOT and you're done. Alternatively, don't deploy your webapp under the <Host> appBase directory - keep it outside of Tomcat's directory tree, and create a conf/Catalina/[host]/ROOT.xml file containing a <Context> element with an absolute docBase attribute pointing to the webapp location. Do not use a path attribute in this scenario. > I get a PermGen space out of memory error and soon after > the web site dies. You most likely have a memory leak in the application, regardless of whether or not it's a "professional" webapp. Hibernate is also notorious for chewing up the heap, although it doesn't usually fill up PermGen. Assuming your PermGen is adequately sized, you need to run a profiler and find out who's creating all the Class objects and where they're doing it. Deploying the webapp twice (which is what you're doing by refusing to name it properly) does increase the load on PermGen. > I'm using Tomcat 5.5.20 and Java JDK/JRE 1.5.0_07. Both of those could be upgraded a bit, just to rule out some esoteric problem that's already been fixed. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
