It's not a Tomcat bug; it looks like a server config issue,
perhaps a socket timeout parameter.

ROOT contains the protected files and classes used by admin. You
add any context by changing several XML files + adding a virtual
directory to your webserver. The "how to" files in
TOMCAT_HOME/doc/ tells you how.

Tomcat is optimized for Apache and vice-versa. I think you have
a configuration problem. I wish I could help you more on this
but I (unfortunately) am stuck with Tomcat on IIS 5.0.

The former is the TOMCAT jar files used as system classes (what
makes it work). I've never seen the latter. Do you mean
TOMCAT_HOME.webapps/[any directory]/WEB-INF/lib? If so, lib is
where you stick your jar/zip files for deployment.

You have to do it. The Jakarta people say they are working on
automating this but for now you have to do it manually. See the
tutorial at TOMCAT_HOME/appdev/index.html.
> 6. What is a Worker? What do i need it for?
Generically, a worker is a protocol used to facilitate I/O. See
TOMCAT_HOME/doc/Tomcat-Workers-HowTo.html and
TOMCAT_HOME/conf/workers.properties. For example, to facilitate
communication between the webserver (in my case, IIS) and Tomcat
as an in-process container, I had to modify the
uriworkermap.properties file.
> 7. For what do I need the build.xml?
The Ant compiler/deployer application uses it to deploy your web
application to the right place in the Tomcat (or webserver)
directory hierarchy. See the .bat (or Unix shell equiv) files in
TOMCAT_HOME/bin/ant*.* and the the tutorial at
TOMCAT_HOME/doc/appdev/index.html.

Sorry, but you are wrong. As my references above indicate, every
one except the server config questions is well-documented.
Cheers!
