Hi Lakshmi,
I'll explain the way I got it to work - I think it's correct because I
can access my app at
the root context http://localhost:8080/

Of course you can undo all the changes mentioned below and bring it

Here's my dierctory set up:
<TOP_DIR>
--Tomcat55 {catalina.home}
--bin
-- conf
-- Catalina
--localhost
myApp.xm
In the above change myApp.xml to ROOT.xml
--common
--server
--webapps
-- myApp
context.xml
index.html
--bin
--html
--jsp
--css
--jar
--WEB-INF
web.xml
--classes
--lib
myApp.xml has the following:
<Context docBase="C:\TOP_DIR\myApp" path="/myApp" override="true"
privileged="true">
</Context>
Now myApp.xml is renamed to ROOT.xml , keep the path attribute empty
as in path=""
the docBase attibute looks correct.
It is also fine to keep your project outside Tomcat's webapps folder,
it makes it easier to upgrade Tomcat in the future.
context.xml under myApp has
<Context path="/myApp"/>
Also change path to path="" in context.xml
http://localhost:8080 brings up the default Tomcat homepage.
After making the above configuration changes in ROOT.xml and
context.xml the app
should be accessible at http://localhost:8080/
I am NOT able to access my application as http://localhost:8080/myApp
Ideally, I would like to access my application as http://localhost:8080.
So what am I missing in my definitions in myApp.xml or
myApp/context.xml?
Thanks a lot
Lakshmi
The concept is that ROOT.xml represents the root context which
corresponds to the first slash / after http://localhost:8080
If the context is called myApp.xml then naturally it is not the root
context so it appears under the myApp context.
Hope this clears things up.
