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.

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.
