Patrick,

Generally speaking, should your docBase point to the location
containing
your application ?
For example
Host : www.myapp.com
appBase: c:\all-my-apps
Application:
app1
Location: c:\all-my-apps\app1
If your <Host> for www.myapp.com has autoDeploy="true", then
explicitly
creating a <Context> with docBase=[appBase]/something is likely to
create confusion because Tomcat may try to deploy the same webapp
twice
on the same path. :(
If autoDeploy="true", then having a webapp in c:\all-my-apps
\app1.war or
the directory c:\all-my-apps\app1 means that it will be automatically
deployed and therefore no <Context> element need appear in conf/
server.xml.
Generally speaking would point my docBase to c:\all-my-apps\app1?
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.
So Chris,
Based on my setup as described above which is not a war file but a
directory that we
just plunk down into appBase, should I remove the docBase parameter
altogether (is that safe)
or should it be there set as docBase="" (empty) which is what I have
seen in my readings about
<Context>.
One other item in my <Context> is path and it is set to path="" (is
that safe). If this is the only app
for this host should it be set to path="/" (root) ?
Thanks
