This is incorrect. If you have an app located outside of the defined webapps dir and are using the docBase attribute then merely naming the context XML file "ROOT.xml" is enough. You may consider the following: a normally deployed ROOT.war causes a ROOT.xml to be created - it is this special name that locates the web application at the path "/". You may only use path="" when the context is defined in server.xml, (when a ROOT.xml would not exist) - a practice which is very strongly discouraged anyway. p > http://www.andrew-eells.com/2009/03/21/tomcat-root-war/ Tomcat ROOT.war > deployment > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
