At each stage of request resolution, the longest match wins. At the
point where the request is routed to a particular webapp, it matches the
webapp whose context matches more of the request path than any other.
IE in your case, if there is a root webapp with context "" and a webapp
with context "test", the webapp at context "test" will receive the
request. If you want further clarification, see in the default ROOT
webapp that ships with tomcat. There's a placeholder /admin/index.html
that's only active as long as the admin webapp isn't installed.

little correction it seem that if i put a directory in the same way as
the ROOT directory tomcat use it instead of the other
exemple :
/usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/users1/ROOT/test/test.jsp
/usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/users1/test/test.jsp
tomcat use the second one (and their appear the ContextPath: /test )
is this the normal way of tomcat working? if so all is ok thanks for all

Hmm well it seem i have made a mistake
the server.xml is correct and my configuration under ROOT too but it
seem that if i put some file before the ROOT directory tomcat take
that as the defaut context?
i explain :
i have put like i said :
appBase="/usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/users1"
there i have create a ROOT directory
/usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/users1/ROOT/ (WEB-INF etc after the ROOT)
but i had a WEB-INF and META-INF in the same directory as the ROOT
too and they seem to have been taken instead of the one in the ROOT
one (is it normal?)
now all works fine sorry to have make you loose time.

Do you have a test.xml lurking around in conf/[engine]/[host] in
one of
them? Would that test.xml have a <Context> element with a docBase
pointing to ROOT/test? If so, that's incorrect.
each webapps is independant my app is the ROOT directory now i
define host like that :
appBase="/usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/users1"
appBase="/usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/users2"
each one have their own ROOT directory
but for the actual problem i dont have any test.xml file or
anything else on engine (or elsewhere that i can see)
both the 5.5.20 and 5.5.17 are new tomcat installed exactly the same
way no docbase or anything else that i can see
