The above is flawed, regardless of which context.xml you're referring to. In the first place, a path attribute of "/" is never correct; in the second, a path attribute is not allowed unless the <Context> element is in server.xml, where it never should be. So what context.xml file did you update? If it's the one in Tomcat's conf directory, you can leave the allowLinking in there and it will apply to all webapps, but the path attribute must be removed. If you want allowLinking only for a specific webapp, place the <Context> element in META-INF/context.xml inside the webapp, but again remove the path attribute. > what's the use of Document base really? It tells Tomcat where the application is deployed. In modern versions of Tomcat, it should only be used when the <Context> element is in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml and the directory or war file for the webapp is stored outside of the [host] appBase directory. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
