I'm not sure anyone else's opinion matters at this point. You've decided what you want to do... you're just looking for validation. Technically, this works. Whether there are better ways to do it are debatable. But you're not interested in anyone else's opinon, so why bother asking? > It'd be great if the docs had contained some real examples. How many different ways are there to demonstrate: <Host> <Context /> </Host> ?? There is a description of all the ways to define a context here: https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/context.html#Defining_a_ context The files go where the files go. The contents are not terribly relevant. What kind of example were you looking for? - -chris > On 10/21/2016 1:21 AM, r.bott...@afterbit.com wrote: >> Hello, did you received some real config?
