Hi, Thanks for the lead up to the server.xml.I did change the server.xml like this....
<Context path="/sampleapp" docBase="e:\sampleapp" debug="0" reloadable="true"> ok. Now I need to take care of the servlet-api.jar file and the jsp-api.jar file. I have written a batch file for doing so,where do you think I need to put this Batch file so that I would be able to use it. I have one other question.In the tomcat console,I am getting the error like this.... "SEVERE: Cannot find message associated with key standardContext.resourcesStart java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base E:\sampleapp does not exist or is not a readable directory" Kindly let me know what the cause for this eror is. Any help would be appreciated.
