RE: Multi-level context paths possible in TC 5.5.9?
David, You can do this by modify the server.xml file from $TOMAT_HOME/conf/ directory: Host name=www.myserver.com debug=0 unpackWARs=true Context path=/level1/level2 docBase=/usr/var/apps/SiteData debug=0 reloadable=true crossContext=true / /Host Where docBase is where you store your app. (SiteData) Hope this help ---Trung -Original Message- From: David Kerber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 30, 2005 1:47 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Multi-level context paths possible in TC 5.5.9? I am trying to migrate a webapp from SilverStream 3.7.5 to Tomcat, while keeping the same URL for my users. Right now, they hit it at www.myserver.com:port/level1/level2/Login.jsp, where level1 is a database name, and level2 is a name we assigned. The .war that provides the content is called SiteData.war, so when I deploy it to tomcat, it shows up at context path /SiteData. I would love it if Tomcat could present the same stuff at the /level1/level2 path. If I have to deploy it as individual files instead of in a .war file, that's ok to, as would be other mods to path names, etc. If someone could just give me some hints, I'd be very grateful. BTW, I spent several hours googling and searching newsgroups, and found nothing showing multi-level context paths, so I don't even know for sure if it's possible.

Re: Multi-level context paths possible in TC 5.5.9?
Awesome!!! Worked first time. I had tried messing with context paths in an application .xml, but never thought to try the server.xml. One question: what does the crossContext flag do? Or is that what lets it look to a different path for the context path? The help files I looked through don't list it... Thanks a bunch!!

RE: Multi-level context paths possible in TC 5.5.9?
David, Set crossContext to true if you want calls within this application to ServletContext.getContext() to successfully return a request dispatcher for other web applications running on this virtual host. Set to false (the default) in security conscious environments, to make getContext() always return null. Hope this help. ---Trung -Original Message- From: David Kerber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 30, 2005 2:47 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Multi-level context paths possible in TC 5.5.9?

It does help; thanks for the explanation.
