Only if you want Tomcat to expand a WAR file in the appBase. There are several ways you can avoid that: - expand the WAR manually before Tomcat starts - only place the expanded directory in the appBase - set unpackWARs="false" on the host Personally, I'd go with the second option.

Re: context doesnt pick up
I already tried an empty Context tag and no Context tag, makes no difference. Catalina.out has not error. I tried setting logging level FINE to see if there were anything related to how it scans conf/Catalina/localhost/ but nothing.

Sorry, since you have both deployOnStartup and autoDeploy set to false, you will need the element inside server.xml - that's the only way to get a webapp going when you have disabled all the other mechanisms. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
