There should be no path attribute in a <Context> element unless the element is within server.xml. The one you're referring to in conf/[engine]/[host] is just a copy of what's in META-INF/context.xml, renamed to the path of the app during deployment. I haven't yet chased down exactly when Tomcat copies the context.xml from META-INF into conf/[engine]/[host]/[appname].xml. > I also have the path#to#myapp#app.war in the webapps directory > so it uploaded, but it is not unpacking the war into ANY location. This has nothing to do with unpacking WARs. For the moment, you may have to keep your app outside of Tomcat's webapps directory, and explicitly place your <Context> element - with docBase - into conf/[engine]/[host]/path#to#myapp.xml (not path#to#mayapp#app.xml). Tomcat 5.5.20 does not seem to like .war names with #-symbols in them. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
