oh, ok. Hadn't gone down that road yet. Good to know. Then would it be <Context docBase="/mywebapp"/> ?

Nice feature, but still working on the root context. -----Original Message----- From: Propes, Barry L [GCG-NAOT] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 19, 2007 11:48 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Tomcat default context didn't know it was possible....to set up a default context outside of the server.xml file. I thought Tomcat required that. -----Original Message----- From: Gardner, Brad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 19, 2007 10:43 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Tomcat default context I am using tomcat 5.5.20 and attempting to set up a default context without placing the context tag inside of the server.xml file. I created the ROOT.xml file under <Tomcat Home Dir>/conf/<engine>/<host>/ and placed this tag into the file: <Context docBase="mywebapp"/> This resulted in no change, and the default tomcat page still appears when I view my webapp. I have also tried adding path="" with the same result. This tag works fine when placed inside server.xml, but I am trying to avoid that now. Any ideas on what I may be missing or mis-understanding? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
