Hi, I'm trying to define an initial context which allows me invoking my servlets by calling them from the root location of my Webserver (eg. http://localhost/). This is actually not a problem if I invoke a Servlet by calling it this way: http://localhost/htdocs/servlet/EditStudent What I actually want is to be able to call my servlet (which is located under /www/htdocs/WEB-INF/classes/) just by calling is this way: http://localhost/servlet/EditStudent rather than the way I described above which uses the 'htdocs' Context directory on the URL. I configured server.xml this way: <!-- <Context path="" --> <Context path="/" docBase="/www/htdocs" crossContext="true" debug="0" reloadable="true" trusted="true" > </Context> and also configured mod_jk.conf this way: Alias / "/www/htdocs" <Directory "/www/htdocs"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks </Directory> JkMount /servlet/*.jsp ajp13 JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 <Location "/WEB-INF/"> AllowOverride None deny from all </Location> <Location "/META-INF/"> AllowOverride None deny from all </Location> and everything worked fine (stoping, starting Tomcat, restarting apache, ...) till I went to http://localhost/ to realize that even if I saw all files located under the 'htdocs' directory, I couldn't link them at all. The webserver says "Not Found The requested URL /index.html was not found on this server". Funny, isn't it: I see the files on my broser, I also see that the mapping of my Context worked, but there is no way ot invoke the html files. Even more funny, was to advice that if I would call any of my servlets by entering the URL by hand (http://localhost/htdocs/servlet/EditStudent), the servlets would respond. MY QUESTION IS: Is there any way to configure a Context which allows me to access the htdocs/ directory directly (http://localhost/servlet/EditStudent) without using the htdocs string on my URL and more important: without interfering problems beetwen Apache and Tomcat which do not let me link any more the html files located under htdocs/? By the way: I don't want to include any servlet-alias in server.xml because this means making aliases for each class and I plan to have plenty of classes... I know that my question is very long, but I rather giving a concise explanation of my situation rather than making a question that nobody can asnwer because of the lack of information. I thank you very much for your interest and help. Have a nice day.
