You may have already figured this out, but just in case:
1) The path attribute of a Context element may only
be used when the Context element is nested inside a
Host element in server.xml - which is strongly
discouraged.
2) The docBase attribute of a Context element may
only be used
Problem:
1) /usr/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/t.xml has:
Context path=/t docBase=webapps/a /
2) /usr/tomcat/webapps/a exists.
3) /usr/tomcat/webapps/t does not exist.
4) When tomcat starts,
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext:resourcesStart() throws
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
I also tried renaming
/usr/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/t.xml
to
/usr/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/a.xml
and now no exception is thrown, and I see
via tomcat manager that context /a is
created, but whenever I try to access
any pages under /t I get error 404.
