Re: Default context for web app
Yoav, from my brief experiment, if you don't place it in ROOT, then like the Kent said it gets deployed twice. e.g. I put my app in APPBASE/gargantus/ and set the context xml: path='' docBase='gargantus' then I can access my app via http://localhost/ and http://localhost/gargantus/ I'm not sure about 5.x but in 4.x I remember it definitely deployed it twice, as evidenced by the logging. The way to avoid this is to deploy it in ROOT/ It doesn't affect me too much to worry about it but if I decided I wanted to have a different app at /gargantus/ then I suspect tomcat would cause problems.

Then I set autoDeploy to false on the Host element. This almost got everything working as required. However, the admin and manager web apps were still deployed which was unacceptable because they would be available via a live IP. This was because the deployXML attribute was set to true. I set this to false and then only my context was deployed. Thanks again! Kent - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
