Hi, In Tomcat 5.5.16 - I forgot to define a context xml file for my application and got status error code 400 which was puzzling. After I added a ROOT subdirectory to my webapps directory I got the status code 404, which was less confusing.
Questions: - I checked the http://tomcat.apache.org site but cannot find documentation for ROOT. Is there any? - why code 400 and not 404 ? Many thanks - Fred Test: Before ROOT was created: ----------------------- bash$ telnet localhost 8080 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.
