Name your application ROOT - that's your only choice. If you use a <Context> element in conf/Catalina/[host]/ROOT.xml, store your app outside of the <Host>'s appBase directory and use the docBase attribute to point to it. > I found the default application in "web.xml" and changed it from > <servlet-mapping> > <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> > <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> > </servlet-mapping> You're confused. That's the default _servlet_, not the default webapp. That servlet is needed to deliver all static content. Change it back to the way you found it and leave it alone. > For the web application I defined (in > "$CATALINA_HOME/Cataline/localhost/app.xml"): > <Context path="/" The path attribute is not allowed in this instance; the file containing the <Context> element must be named ROOT.xml for it to be treated as the default webapp. > Any idea what I am missing?
