Conceptually, yes. In practice, you should try to avoid explicitly setting the docBase unless you are using conf-file-based deployment using a deployment file in conf/[EngineName]/[HostName]/[AppName].xml. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAktOMvkACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAl4wCdGn7y93C40qPUjCn2fmVKiaHU eHgAn2P4tC94CdKVuZAnsrdu98JSPc0D =lfnl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
