In Tomcat 5.0 on RH Linux I was able to make a context fragment file called tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/webappB.xml, which allowed me to call webappA by specifying the name webappB in the browser's URL. The file looked like this:
<!-- Context fragment to access webappA.war with the name webappB --> <Context docBase="webappA" debug="0" privileged="true"> </Context> Enter Tomcat 5.5 where this no longer works. I can't seem to glean the information I need from the Tomcat 5.5 docs, and I've resorted to hit or miss experimentation. All misses. I've read things in the docs like "do not use docBase...", and I've tried all manner of combinations. All to no avail. Basically all I ever get from my browser is "Blahblah... 404... The requested resource (blahblah) is not available." Question: Can anyone tell me specifically how to configure Tomcat 5.5 so that I can call webappA by specifying webappB (without using symbolic links) from the browser? Thank you.
