Hi Dave,

We saw your reply to one of the queries posted in tomcat's forum. Your reply

" What you want to do is to override the root context.  Put this in your
server.xml file:

<Context path=""
         docBase="/usr/local/apache/htdocs"
         debug="0"
         reloadable="true">
</Context>

Now, you'll also have to create a WEB-INF and it's corresponding
subdirectories (lib, classes, ets) under /usr/local/apache/htdocs, as well
as add a section to your Apache httpd.conf file to disallow access to that
directory like this:

<Location "/WEB-INF">
        AllowOverride None
      Order deny,allow
      deny from all
</Location>

Then you should be set to go!

Coming from JServ/GnuJSP, this took a while to figure out myself.

This still has not solved our problem. We want to deploy all our .jsp and
servlet class files under htdocs. We were successful in creating a context
for jsp files(by adding a new context in server.xml pointing to htdocs).
However, we have not been able to fetch the servlet class files from htdocs
too. we are not getting what you mean by <location> tag.

Please get back to us asap.

Thanks in advance.
