Placing Context elements in server.xml will work. However, if you ever ask for help on the Tomcat users list and mention that you are doing this, the first thing everybody will say is "stop doing that". Instead you can place the Context element by itself in a Context fragment file in $CATALINA_BASE/config/Catalina/HOSTNAME/PATH.xml (where HOSTNAME is the name of the surrounding Host element -- probably 'localhost' -- and PATH is what was in the Context's 'path' (minus any leading slash, and with interior slashes replaced by '#'). For example, the fragment file for the jspui context above would be named 'jspui.xml'. Do not include the 'path' attribute in a Context fragment file; the name of the file supplies the path. To express the root context, name the file 'ROOT.xml'. When supplying contexts this way, you don't have to worry about damaging other parts of server.xml inadvertently and you don't have to restart Tomcat every time you update a Context. In fact a convenient way to restart such a webapp is to simply change the last-write date on the Context fragment -- suitably configured, Tomcat will notice this in a few seconds and reload that app. The docBase of any Context fragment file needs to be outside of any Host's appBase. Otherwise Tomcat will feel free to delete your fragment under circumstances which I haven't fully worked out. Tomcat creates Context fragments itself, for webapps within the appBase, and destroys them from time to time. > The http://localhost:8080/jspui is now looking good, I should think about it > before since this method worked well in Windows :) Now, I guess those > symbolic links may have to be created in somewhere else instead of > /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps, since index.html file is in ROOT folder.

I would recommend using the Context's docBase attribute rather than symlinking, as Tomcat is very wary of symlinks and has to be coaxed to follow them. -- Mark H.
