You were right...
I simply removed all the Context elements now in the server.xml file and
changed all my code to reference ../sharedHRM or /sharedHRM depending on if the
tag appends the Application Context or not.
Thanks for your help.

Ok, I understand so where do I put the reference to the shared asset Context?
I cannot put it in server.xml. Let's say I put want to put the reference in
an application called app2, that would work fine expect I already have a
element defined in context.xml for the app2 application.
If the thing being shared are browser sepefic such as images - I create a new
webapp. For example: for all my common images I could create an images webapp.
Then my webapps which refernce those images can link to /images directly (and
take it on faith that there is an /images webapp out there)

? An "application" *is* a Context; the point is to create a single
"shared asset" Context and reference it from wherever. As bel

My situation is quite different but here is what I am currently doing:

OK, so don't do that :-)
Hello Tim
Saw your posting on the tomcat user's list.
I have a question about your response:
So how do you access the static resources, i.e.,
images, from the other two web apps?
This is what I tried and it does not work:
I created a separate webapp context with images,
and placed into tomcat/
In fact that is sort of what I am doing.
I am creating a new element for the shared assets but the problem is
by putting the element directly in the server.xml file, I am not
longer able to undeploy and redeploy the "shared assets application" without
restarting the server which is not an
I typically create a 3rd webapp with those shared images and other similar
assets.
Otherwise - you can import those shared assets into your webapp at build time
by placing all the shared assets into their own version control repository.

How do I go about allowing applications to share static content in Tomcat

surely there is a way to use the same image fi
