No, I seem to have a .XML for each webapp. I didn't create them, they were just there. Here's a 'dir' (I did create the 'new.xml' is for a new test webapp that I'm working with): E:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\conf\Catalina\localhost>dir Volume in drive E is DATA Volume Serial Number is CE83-0200 Directory of E:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\conf\Catalina\localhost 08/05/2004 11:41p <DIR> . 08/05/2004 11:41p <DIR> .. 08/07/2004 01:09p 370 admin.xml 08/07/2004 01:09p 160 balancer.xml 08/07/2004 01:09p 339 manager.xml 08/07/2004 01:09p 176 webdav.xml 08/07/2004 01:09p 566 servlets-examples.xml 08/07/2004 08:53p 634 jsp-examples.xml 08/07/2004 01:09p 186 tomcat-docs.xml 08/08/2004 12:35a 239 ROOT.xml 08/08/2004 07:00p 243 new.xml 9 File(s) 2,913 bytes 2 Dir(s) 22,732,374,016 bytes free > > " so I added just the ResourceLink to jsp-examples.xml, > bounced Tomcat, and VOILA!!!

On my system, it looks like there IS a <webappname>.xml, for each webapp, and in each case, the <Context> is in these .XML files. Thanks re. the 'examples' question. That was causing me to wonder if there was something wrong with my installation. As to your implied question above of "why do I have all the .XML files, whereas you only have 3?", is it possible that whoever built the Tomcat installation created it that way? FYI, I did my Tomcat installation from the Tomcat binaries for 5.0.27 (in a .zip file) that I found at http://www.apache.org, but I didn't look closely at what was where after I unzipped the distribution, so it may be that the .XML files were already in the distribution. So I don't know if they were there immediately after the unzip. All I know is that they're there now, and I didn't create them. It does seem that you have to manually create these .XML files, as with the new.xml, which I had to create manually, because when I started Tomcat up without the new.xml file, I saw some errors on startup.
