Something conspicuously missing in your original post was what version of Tomcat you are using. If you are reading docs that mention /common/classes, I suspect you're working with something less than Tomcat 6.x. If that's true, are you able to upgrade? Tomcat 6 and 7 both have significant improvements and should be backward-compatible. You can work with an older version of Tomcat, but 5.0 EOL'd a long time ago and I think 5.5's days are numbered. Tomcat 7 is where the real action is these days. > At the risk of opening another bag of worms.... in your example, > you said: (But, of course, you don't have that because you > shouldn't put <Context>s in server.xml, but I have it here for the > sake of brevity).

If you are using Tomcat 5.5 or later (which I hope you are), the best thing to do is to use a file in your webapp's META-INF/context.xml -- that should contain your <Context> element and should contain neither a "docBase" (because the file was loaded out of the webapp's docBase, so Tomcat already knows where it is) nor a "path" (because the name of the WAR file or exploded-WAR-structure already dictates the context path). If you have an odd configuration where you want your WAR file somewhere other than the webapps/ auto-deploy directory for your host, then you can use a file in Tomcat's conf/[Service]/[Host]/[webappname].xml, and you'll have to specify the docBase attribute and point it at your webapp's WAR file (or exploded-WAR-structure). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk7Y8qgACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBuJACdE+kgpshbQyuBcPwnq0rgtkz+ pcUAn2I2xFL7U6kfjnQ8lsdAfHGtjQx3 =2tmu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
