RE: tomcat 6 and subdirectories
Chuck, Thanks for the advise, I fixed the problem. IT was definitely related to the way contexts were defined and not to the servlet mappings. Some of your replies to older postings helped me figure out the problem. As a solution, I put the context files for the applications in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml as described in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html It didn't work right away. I had to remove the appBase attribute from the host definition and provide an absolute path in the context's docBase. After that everything worked as expected and all subdirectories mapped to the proper servlet.

OK, I will put the appBase back in the host. -Original Message- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 24, 2008 3:38 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: tomcat 6 and subdirectories From: Angelov, Rossen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: tomcat 6 and subdirectories I had to remove the appBase attribute from the host definition and provide an absolute path in the context's docBase.

RE: tomcat 6 and subdirectories
Thanks Chuck, It is in server.xml and may that's the problem. In previous version I had in subdirectories under conf/Catalina. I will try in META-INF/context.xml, although how do you specify multiple contexts in this case?

Are you still specifying an empty docBase? That's illegal. Where is your Context element located? It should not be in server.xml (strongly discouraged, but not yet illegal), but rather in the webapp's META-INF/context.xml file.
