Method 2.2 If you really know what you are doing.. - leave your war file in CATALINA_BASE/webapps, under its original name - turn off autoDeploy and deployOnStartup in your Host element in the server.xml file. - explicitly define all application Contexts in server.xml, specifying both path and docBase. You must do this, because you have disabled all the Tomcat auto-deploy mechanisms, and Tomcat will not deploy your applications anymore unless it finds their Context in the server.xml. I did exactly like they said in WIKI (autoDeploy=false, deployOnStartup=false) , but after doing all this, Tomcat does not even deploy my war file. here is my host configuration in server.xml after my changes: <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="false" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> <Context path="" docBase="myapp"/> </Host> I have a war and i wanted to deploy it as war (did not want to follow other methods about renaming to ROOT.war or creating ROOT.xml etc) and wanted to make my web app as the default application. Please help me with this. thanks in advance -G
