That worked! Thank you very much. Now I don't have to tell the developers that to upgrade to TC5.5, they have to change their code.

Context 1, loaded from file: <Tomcat Home>/conf/Catalina/localhost/myapp.xml : <Context path="/myapp" docBase="myapp" cookies="true" debug="0" reloadable="false" /> Context 2, loaded from file: <Tomcat Home>/conf/Catalina/localhost/myappsavedfiles.xml : <Context path="/myapp/savedfiles" docBase="C:\MyApp\Saved" /> Notice that the path of Context 2 is a subdirectory of Context 1. Also, notice that the docBase's are completely different directories (i.e. the docBase for context 2 isn't actually a subdirectory of the docBase of Context 1) The reason I do this is because I want the data in context 1 (my web app) to be upgradeable (and thus be blown away at will), but the data in my Context 2 (which isn't even in the webapps directory) to be persistent. Now, I want to upgrade to Tomcat 5.5.4. However, it seems that I can no longer do this in Tomcat 5.5 (according to the description of the 'path' attribute described here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html) unless I do one of the following: 1) Put the Context tag for Context 2 directly in my server.xml, which is no longer recommended 2) Somehow name my Context 2 file with a slash in it -- which Windows isn't going to let me do! =) 3) Rename my Context 2 file to be a different path altogether, which means that I have to change by Context 1 code that refers to files in Context 2. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can keep both of these contexts without changing my code in Context 1 that refers to the path /myapp/savedfiles, and hopefully without modifying my Tomcat server.xml? I appreciate any suggestions you may have.
