Hi David, Thanks for your reply. But i didn't got it properly;
How do you say that the defined context with "/myapps/conf" will get precedence over "/myapps" and subfolder conf in this application ?? The document you referred is for tomcat 5.5, is that also same for tomcat 5.0.x versions? Any tomcat developers wish to contribute? foojava On 12/20/05, David Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Just looking up some other info, I ran accross this which directly > answers your question: > > http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html > > --David > > David Smith wrote: > > > I'm not sure there is a documented spec on this at the container > > (tomcat) level.
