I see in the link you sent me, that "path" can only be see from within server.xml. To correct myself from eariler i said it worked in context.xml, when it was in deed server.xml where i had it specified. I would prefer not to to have to rename the war, but at this point im not going to complain about it. :) I just spent a lot of time migrating from server.xml to conf/Catalina/localhost/*.xml. I'll have to deal with a rename to make things work properly. Thanks, Dan
