RE: webapps ROOT folder significance
What Remy means is that you need to *create* a new file called ROOT.xml and place it in tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost (it's not there by default) In that file, add Also check out how you can further configure this Context at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html E.g or even nested elements inside -Original Message- From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sat 04/12/2004 19:20 To: Tomcat Users List Cc: Subject: Re: webapps ROOT folder significance At 09:46 AM 12/4/2004 -0800, you wrote: >Remy you really confused me.

RE: webapps ROOT folder significance
lol, i wasn't having a dig Remy don't be so cynical, I am just interested, and
you didn't answer my question either ;) I mean, it's not difficult of course to
redeploy on another server and rename the WAR, I don't think this is anthing
sinister at all, sorry you had to think that, I am merely curious why this is
now the case in 5.5, when afterall it does tie a webapp's naming to Tomcat's
way of doing things.
Cheers, Allistair

Yes, this is all part of a grand plan to tie users to Tomcat, and take
over the world. Call Austin for help, it's the only hope for mankind.
Actual solution: write a ROOT.xml file pointing to whatever docBase
you want for your webapp (outside of the host appBase), like:

Re: webapps ROOT folder significance
Remy you really confused me. Can you elaborate a little more please ? What root.xml file in webapps\ROOT folder ? or jakarta-tomcat-5.5.3\conf\Catalina\localhost folder ? Do you mean a context.xml file in the catalnia\locahost folder ?

RE: webapps ROOT folder significance
In versions prior to 5.5, you could make your own webapp the root context by
using an empty path attribute on the Context for your web application. However,
in 5.5 you cannot do this and *must* use the ROOT folder for your web
application *if* you want the web application accessible from http://server:8080
I would be interested also to hear from the dev team, why a user cannot package
a web application with a webapp folder they desire and deploy this as root.
Afterall, is forcing the webapp folder name not binding the user to Tomcat?
