hi dominic - you may need to get 'the right' answer from a more experienced person but here are 2 things that *may* help:
1) http://server.ccl.net/cca/software/UNIX/apache/debian-tomcat/node9.html this is a 1-pager that gives a paragraph about the Context tag. sorry, i don't know where to find user-friendly doc about this (if you're like me and you like to poke around with possibly unrelated things, there's an -old!- DevShed article "Intro to Cocoon..." that goes through an -old!- example at http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/XML/INTCXX/page4.html ) 2) you can create a logfile for xindice. on linux, the xindice entry i added was: <Context path="/Xindice" docBase="Xindice" debug="0" reloadable="false" crossContext="true"> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_xindice_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/> </Context> you can add your Context right before the Tomcat Examples Context. (if you have probs, plz note that i self-unpack:-) don't know if this will work for you ...
