The above is confusing to me. Where is the app deployed?
webapps/ROOT (works) or webapps/meshcms (doesn't)
Where is the <Context> element for this app located?
conf/server.xml
What are the attributes specified for this <Context>?
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" reloadable="false" />
With Tomcat 5 and above, <Context> elements should not go in server.xml, the path attribute must not be used, and docBase can be used only when the <Context> element is in conf/[engine]/[host]/[appname].xml AND the app is not deployed in the <Host>'s appBase directory.
Ah, and I'm using 5.5. I've checked the 5.5 docs and I can't find *any* of those restrictions mentioned, other than a recommendation that <Context> elements aren't placed in server.xml, but I got the impression that this was advisory, not mandatory. So how *should* I do what I want, i.e. deploy the app in a directory called meshcms under webapps, or am I forced to name it ROOT if I want it to be the default application?
