Don't put your webapp in the <Host>'s appBase directory; if you do it may be deployed twice, once as the name on the .xml file, and once as the name of the appBase sub-directory. Keep the webapp outside of Tomcat's directory structure, and use an absolute path on the docBase attribute. > This resulted in no change, and the default tomcat page still appears > when I view my webapp. You need to delete Tomcat's ROOT directory and everything in it. (Or rename it to something other than ROOT if you want to keep it around.) > I have also tried adding path="" with the same result. The path attribute is not allowed unless the <Context> is inside server.xml, which you're trying to avoid. > Any ideas on what I may be missing or mis-understanding? You're not removing Tomcat's original default context. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
