There's definitely come nomenclature confusion going-on in this thread.

The context path for the webapp is "/webapp1", not "/webapp1/www/directory1". As you say, you can't just cause a new webapp context to spring-forth from another by adding a context.xml file to it. Explicitly deploying a subdirectory of an existing webapp using CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/webapp#www#directory1.xml with path=${catalina.base}/webapps/webapp1/www/directory1" would probably work, but it is, of course, totally stupid to do things that way. I think OP was just trying to treat a subdirectory as a distinct webapp because (maybe?) that seemed like an easier way to restrict access. I can imagine this being conflated with, say, Apache httpd's ability to specify authentication requirements by dropping an .htaccess file into a directory. Obviously that's not how Tomcat does things. I think this is yet another instance of someone not understanding that a "webapp" is more than just set of files and subdirectories rooted somewhere on the filesystem. Honestly, Leo should know better after all the time he's been hanging around the list ;) - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlC5NZwACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDiOQCglkzqFfgOm7uqL68gYTnJRaPO IogAoLKe9kfUs3AWTGS9JBIhtw0ssvUP =F4cH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
