Hi all

I have searched the archives and has seen many posting on this but
still need more information.

Right now, I use Eclipse as my IDE.  When a project is ready for
testing I export to a WAR and use Tomcat's GUI Manager "WAR file to
deploy" option to deploy my application to my server.  

So far, I have been setting up a context.xml file under META-INF in
which I don't specify a path or docBase.  This works and as expected the
application deploys under the webapps folder (the default).   

What do I have to do to have the application reside in a physical
directory outside of webapps, for example, /data0/tomcat/home.  Make
changes to the existing context.xml?  Do I have to remove this xml and
create it under CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost with the name of
the app? 

My understanding is that if I add the docBase attribute specifying a
physical directory that should be all that is required but in both cases
above this do not work. Maybe it is because I can't simply deploy using
the Tomcat Manager the way I use to do it.

Sample of testApp.xml below

<Context debug="0"   antiResourceLocking="false"  
antiJARLocking="false"   reloadable="true" 
docBase="/data0/tomcat/home">
         <Resource name="jdbc/hrm"
                   auth="Container"
                   type="javax.sql.DataSource"
                  ...
         /> 
</Context>

Any help is greatly appreciated.
