First, placing <Context> elements in server.xml is extremely bad practice. The <Context> element should be in the webapp's META-INF/context.xml file, or in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml; where you have it requires a restart of Tomcat anytime you make changes. Note that when in the proper locations, the path and docBase attributes must not be used in a <Context> element. Second, docBase and appBase must *never* be the same. The appBase directory is where each of your webapps should be placed; it must not point to a specific webapp. Third, if you want a webapp to be the default one, it must be named ROOT (case sensitive, even on Windows). Fourth, unless you are using multiple <Host> elements, there is no point in changing the name attribute; you can leave it at localhost. So, if you want this nexus webapp to be the default, change appBase to "C:\superior", put the webapp in C:\superior\ROOT, place your <Context> element in C:\superior\ROOT\META-INF\context.xml, and remove the path and docBase attributes from the <Context>. If the webapp is distributed as a .war file that you don't want to modify, place the .war in C:\superior\ROOT.war, and the <Context> element in conf\Catalina\[host]\ROOT.xml. If you are not using multiple <Host> elements, put the <Host> name back to localhost; regardless, make sure the defaultHost of your <Engine> points to one of your <Host> elements. Other directory locations will also work, as long as you maintain the proper relationship between appBase and the location of the webapp. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
