thanks a lot, Hassan and Chuck, for your replies.

Context element description 
(http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html) : "path... The 
context path of this web application...The value of this field must not be set 
except when statically defining a Context in server.xml, as it will be infered 
from the filenames used for either the .xml context file or the docBase." 

I just find it a bit strange that tomcat5 derives the Context path from the 
actual filename. Was not the tomcat3 way of setting the context path in the 
'path' attribute better? Does anyone know the story behind this change?


Kind regards,

Alex.

You configured it one way and it didn't work.

You configured it *per the documentation* and it *did* work.

What kind of comment would seem to be necessary? :-)
