Hi Rudi,
Here's how I do it, and this also seems to be the 'correct' way of
doing it with Tomcat5 (as it doesn't mean messing with any
container-level files).
Into {tomcathome}\conf\Catalina\localhost\ I place a correctly formed
context file, for example ApplicationName.xml (very minimal for
demonstration purposes... you could, of course, make it do whatever a
normal context file would).
-------- ApplicationName.xml -----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/ApplicationName" docBase="C:/share/ApplicationCode/"
debug="1" reloadable="true">
</Context>
------- End ApplicationName.xml ----
The C:/share/ApplicationCode/ directory would contain the JSPs, the
META-INF dir, the WEB-INF dir, etc. Restart your tomcat Server and
away you go. You can even use the admin utility to tweak it.
Cheers,
PST
