This from David Brown concerning ROOT.WAR the ROOT application context is actually a "docBase" defined in server.xml. and, this is the /examples webapp that lets u see the tc documentation and other usefull stuff online w/o directory references. in the long run u r much better off creating u own webapp .war and exanding it in ur own webapps directory. see the /examples build: ant and build.xml. i u r not already familiar w/ the java and tc way of building projects Accept that root.war belongs to and is part of Tomcat HTH Martin- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dwayne Ghant" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 11:22 AM Subject: Re: Enabling ROOT context for Tomcat5.0.28/Apache 2.0.x
