Well, I've tried all sorts of configurations, so I was hoping to get a clean example from someone who had it working. I changed the stock Tomcat 5.5 server.xml file to add the following (within the pre-existing, as well as the only, HOST tag for localhost, and I have tried with/without a slash for path, and with forward or backward slashes in docbase): <CONTEXT path="" docbase="C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MYwebapps" debug="0" reloadable="true" /> ...and I have edited the stock Tomcat 5.5 uriworkermap.properties file to add the directory relative to the additional docbase (I've also tried without the .jsp specificity at the end of the line to handle everything): /MYjsp-examples/*.jsp (the jk_1.2.8.exe installer puts it all in its own folders in $CATALINA_HOME's parent, not within $CATALINA_HOME/bin, and also sets the registry properly - anything else this nice installer does for me? It doesn't appear to set environment variables $CATALINA_HOME or JAVA_HOME - do I need to do this manually? The webapps examples work fine without these variables set though, so is this a deprecated step?)
So, if I have copied the webapps folder (and everything in it) to the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot folder and renamed it MYwebapps, and renamed jsp-examples therein to be MYjsp-examples (and fixed the .html to point to the right path), I would have thought that I could run examples from the new directory as well. I don't see any path info. (non-relative) elsewhere that would cause problems and need to be changed? However, if uriworkermap.properties is edited properly, I get a Tomcat 404 error starting with the docbase, when clicking any example (.jsp link; the .html ones still work fine, since they're not handed-off to Tomcat) from the main page: http://localhost/MYwebapps/MYjsp-examples/index.html ...the same files still work fine if I go back to the original location: http://localhost/jsp-examples I've even tried making new HOST tags as well, but Tomcat won't start if you try to define two HOST tags for the same "system" whether I use a machine name, IP or whatever. Perhaps I misread the docs somewhere, or there's more to it than the above two steps, I'd love to know!
