I don't believe I suggested that you change to appBase to match the place where you put your webapp. Use of appBase + webapps results in auto-deployment of those webapps, which is /not/ what you want. Instead, you want your WAR file (or directory) to be separate from any auto-deployment directory because you are attempting to do a custom deployment. What you want is this: <Host appBase="/the/normal/Tomcat/auto-deploy/directory"> Then, put your testweb.war file wherever you want and put this into your conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml: <Context docBase="/path/to/testweb.war"> > I put the Web application as a WAR file with the name' testweb.war' in > 'c:/test/www' This will result in your webapp being auto-deployed to /testweb which, I think, isn't what you want. > I created a ROOT.xml in <tomcat>/Catalina/localhost with this content: > > <Context path="testweb" reloadable="true"/> This is illegal and stupid. It is illegal because the docs say it is (see below). It is stupid because path="testweb" would deploy your webapp to /testweb instead of / if it worked, which it won't. Please read: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html Regarding the "path" attribute: " The value of this field must not be set except when statically defining a Context in server.xml, as it will be inferred from the filenames used for either the .xml context file or the docBase. " > Now I start Tomcat and get this error: > > java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base c:/Temp/www/ROOT does > not exist or is not a readable directory Does your Tomcat have permissions to access c:\temp\www\ROOT? I thought you were running on Linux... > Is this a limitation of Tomcat or do I something wrong here? Tomcat is not limited in the way you suggest. Your configuration is simple if you do one of the following: 1. Just name your application ROOT.war and stick it in your auto-deployment directory (default is 'webapps' in the Tomcat installation directory). 2. Put your WAR file somewhere outside the auto-deployment directory and create a conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml with a docBase pointing to the absolute pathname to your WAR file. DO NOT DEFINE A 'path' ATTRIBUTE IN YOUR CONTEXT.XML. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkj3ZtgACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBl8wCgtIxBuMxrUqAdyd9ITw+Yqz4C elwAoKD/IFrELypbgMvIICctEQAWUtDe =9SD3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
