Charles,
thank for your explanation.
Now everything (exept one thing) seems to work fine.
The only problem left is - when I'm copypasting the default servlet block
to $CATALINA_BASE/logs/WEB-INF/web.xml , the application no longer works.
Without it everything works fine (but I can't disable the directory
listings general setting because I need it swithed on for the /logs dir).
The block that I copy is :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>0</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>listings</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
(I place it inside the <web-app> section)
And one more question - if myapp's docBase is set to $CATALINA_BASE/logs ,
does it matter what is in the webapps/myapp folder?
Thanks in advance.
