This is a much easier question to answer. 1) Stop Tomcat. 2) Delete the ROOT directory under Tomcat's webapps directory. 3) Delete everything in Tomcat's work directory. (This is overkill, but it's easiest this way.) 4) Create a file in Tomcat's conf/Catalina/localhost directory named ROOT.xml (case matters, even on Windows). 5) In the ROOT.xml file, put the following: <Context docBase="C:/myApp/web" /> 6) Restart Tomcat. That should be all you need. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
