Re: How to specify a default context?
Hi maybe try this, in server.xml, in tomcat6 Context path= docBase=YOUR_CONTEXT_HERE debug=0 / after this, every request at http://host will served by the context you specified here. No any changes neccessary, as i remember. regards Szabi 2007/9/30, Caldarale, Charles R [EMAIL PROTECTED]: From: Ken Bowen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How to specify a default context?

In current versions of Tomcat, do not ever put Context elements inside server.xml.

From: Ken Bowen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How to specify a default context? Is there no other way, one which leaves the app with its original name? Place your webapp outside of the Host's appBase directory, and put your Context element in conf/Catalina/[host]/ROOT.xml with a docBase attribute pointing to the absolute file system location of your webapp. Because of the convoluted way I've written the app, renaming it to ROOT has bad effects. If you have coded the app to use a specific URL to refer to itself, then it can't be the default app, can it? If you've coded I/O paths within the app, then you've violated the servlet spec, which expects that webapps can be deployed on devices without file systems. Either are major design flaws that should never make it into a production system. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Re: How to specify a default context?
Absolutely all correct, including the design flaws (partly due to the learning curve, partly to the process of pasting together non-web software which has such embedded knowledge -- needs to be overcome). However, after my 3rd cup of coffee this morning, it occurrs to me that what I'm after is not really that myapp be the /default/ application, but that myapp be the application which runs when the server receives the request http://myhost, where myhost is the name of the HOST in which myapp is a Context. As a Context for HOST, the request http://myhost/myapp/ causes myapp to run. Since I plan to use http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ to rewrite URLs, and since / will rewrite to /myapp/, then the request htpp://myhost/ will ending up causing myapp to handle the request. Is this sound? Am I missing something here? Thanks, Ken Caldarale, Charles R wrote: From: Ken Bowen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How to specify a default context?
