Of the 354 pages of the Servlet Spec 2.5, only pages 19-154 are worth reading. Before that, it's introductory stuff, and after that it gets into "enterprise" servlet stuff which Tomcat doesn't support, and most people don't need. I recommend reading the spec in the same way you'd eat an elephant: one bite (byte?) at a time. Mmmm... elephant. In the amount of time you might spend fighting against various contributors to this forum to extract information about the spec and how to do things, you could easily read the spec itself and then come back to hit some other newbie over the head with it :) > Further, are you saying that use of catalina/localhost/vendoraDocs.xml > is a tomcat only solution. This is just the webapp deployment hints for Tomcat. Chuck's direction to edit WEB-INF/web.xml is entirely portable and defined by the aforementioned quite-readable specification. > How do I best standup a set of vendor supplied HTML docs and > files for browsing through tomcat.

If you have a directory of static files already, you can just drop them into a subdirectory under TOMCAT_HOME/webapps and it will auto-deploy (assuming you have default settings in TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml) into a URL like http://yourhost/dirname/your_files_go_here.html - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0ACz8ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAHjACfXQXbFrlQru/VLYtKzJd5uXXt DRsAnRoQPS/9ixuKobYW+c+rzJ+kStxc =wYkb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
