Thanks Larry for the advice, which solved the problem. Thanks also to Chuck
and John for the speedy replies and help.

My web application does display a directory listing in 5.5.9 and so I have
edited conf/web.xml to set listings to true and now  my webapp runs.

I'm using eclipse 3.2 with WTP but there are no <Context> tags in the
server.xml and all the editing I did has been removed.
I have also removed the files
C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.20\conf\Catalina\localhost\context.xml and
C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.20\conf\Catalina\localhost\AppName.xml.

I have META-INF/context.xml in my app, which contains the following.
<Context path="AppName" debug="1" reloadable="true">
        <!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
        <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
        <WatchedResource>META-INF/context.xml</WatchedResource>
<!--Database info -->
</Context>

Thanks again for the help.

John.

Just in case, does your web application display a directory
listing in 5.5.9?  If so, be aware that directory listings
have been turned off in conf/web.xml for 5.5.20 (I forget in
which version this occurred) due to the potential of a DOS
attack if your web application contains lots of files.  Other
URLs that don't request a directory listing should work.

Cheers,
Larry
