Hello;
I am using Tomcat 5.5 (which is really nice).
1) I have no <Context> nodes in server.xml
2) Tomcat 5.5\conf\context.xml is:
<Context>
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
</Context>
3) Tomcat 5.5\webapps\store\META-INF\context.xml is:
<Context path="/abc" docBase="store" debug="5" reloadable="true"
crossContext="true">
<Resource name="jdbc/storeDB" auth="Container
type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="sa" password="*****"
driverClassName="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
url="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=StoreTest;Select
Method=cursor" maxActive="8" maxIdle="4"/>
</Context>
Yet http://localhost:8080/abc fails and http://localhost:8080/store
succeeds.
I've read all the docs and it seems to me this is supposed to work.
What am I missing????
Thanks - dave

Please read the very explicit doc:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
(Since you didn't bother to tell us which Tomcat version you're using,
you'll need to adjust the above URL appropriately.)
In particular, the above says:
"In addition to nesting Context elements inside a Host element, you can
also store them:
* in the individual $CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml file: the
Context element information will be loaded by all webapps
* in the individual
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/context.xml.default file:
the Context element information will be loaded by all webapps of that
host
* in individual files (with a ".xml" extension) in the
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory
* if the previous file was not found for this application, in
individual file at /META-INF/context.xml inside the application files"
"Please note that for tomcat 5, unlike tomcat 4.x, it is NOT recommended
to place <Context> elements directly in the server.xml file. Instead,
put them in the META-INF/context.xml directory of your WAR file or the
conf directory as described above."
If you are using 5.5, also note the following for the path attribute:
"The value of this field must not be set except when statically defining
a Context in server.xml, as it will be infered [sic] from the filenames
used for either the .xml context file or the docBase."
