Hi I am running tomcat on Windows XP, i have mapped a network drive to this PC running Tomcat. Under \conf\Catalina\localhost i created a xml file for specifying document root This XML file contains following code
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <Context crossContext="true" path="/myproject" displayName="myproject" docBase="K:\\myproject\WebRoot\\"> </Context> WhereK:\\myproject\WebRoot\\ is the network drive, I am getting following error when i start tomcat EVERE: Error starting static Resources java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base K:\myproject\WebRoot does not exist or is not a readable directory at org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext.setDocBase(FileDirContext.java:140) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.resourcesStart(StandardContext.java:3848) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4019) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:759) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:739) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:524) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptor(HostConfig.java:608) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptors(HostConfig.java:535) If i have the same docBase to local drive like C:\\myproject\WebRoot\\ Then it works, What may be the reason, is it possible to do so or not?
