If it's the package from SuSE, then the SuSE guys *are* responsible. I would highly recommend that you use a standard Tomcat downloaded from tomcat.apache.org and avoid the confusion caused by the 3rd-party repackaging. As for your deployment questions, we need to get some terminology straight. You do not deploy servlets, you deploy webapps. The structure of a webapp is defined in the servlet spec, and must be adhered to. The servlet classes for a webapp must be placed in the webapp's directories WEB-INF/lib (if in a jar) or WEB-INF/classes (if not in a jar). The servlet spec is required reading. Each webapp is normally located immediately under the appBase directory of the <Host> defined in conf/server.xml. A webapp may be located outside of Tomcat's directory structure, by placing a <Context> element in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml with a docBase attribute that points to the location of the webapp. The path attribute is not to be used, and you should not place any <Context> element in conf/server.xml. The ROOT directory is special: it is the default webapp for the <Host>; do not place webapps under ROOT. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
