The key clause in the statement was "If you want to keep the directory name for your webapp as ParticleBoard"; some people insist on deploying webapps in a directory different from the URL path, for no discernible reason (possibly brain fade due to exposure to Perl). Normally, one would place the default webapp in the webapps/ROOT directory (or webapps/ROOT.war) and be done with it. As Andre pointed out, placing a webapp under the <Host> docBase with one name *and* having a conf/Catalina/[host]/[otherAppName].xml file will likely get you double deployment, although Tomcat is getting better at detected such illogical configurations. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
