Normally,we configure docBase when we want the application to be resided on a
separate directory and not inside tomcat
that's exactly what I'm trying to do
when you use docBase I don't think you need to configure host/appbase as well
if I don't use host/appBase then "webapps" is set as default, and then
if a document that exists in "webapps" is requested, e.g. /index.jsp and
it does not exist in my application directory, then it is served from
webapps, which is something that I really don't want to happen.
sure, I can clear the contents of the webapps folder instead of creating
the empty folder, but not sure I want to do that either.

Appbase folders go under tomcat directory parallel to default appbase
webapps. Each appbase is mapped to a particular host so we configure more
than one appbases when we want to have applications running under different
hosts deployed in the same tomcat.

I'm a little confused about the Host appBase attribute.
Let's say that my website resides in D:\www\site1
I don't like using {Tomcat}/webapps so I don't want to have it as a base
directory for websites. What I've been doing so far is create an empty
folder alongside "webapps", named "empty", and use it as appBase, e.g.
<Host name="Site1" appBase="empty" unpackWARs="false" autoDeploy="false">
<!-- this works but what's the deal with appBase? !-->
<Context path="/" docBase="D:/www/site1" />
</Host>
But it feels like I'm doing something wrong. I expect this to work, but
it doesn't:
<Host name="Site1" appBase="D:/www/site1" unpackWARs="false"
autoDeploy="false">
<!-- this doesn't work !-->
</Host>
Can anyone explain why the snippet above doesn't work, and if that is the
way it should be, then what is the purpose of Host/appBase?
TIA
