Hi Phil,
To answer your question directly; no, in 5 you don't need (and shouldn't have) a context entry in the server.xml for a war file (or any webapp for that matter). Assuming the war contains a context.xml file in META-INF, then tomcat will use that one (it will copy it to {TomcatHome}\conf\Catalina\hostname\WarFilename.xml and use it from there).
Hope that clears things up.
Cheers, Patrick

Hi, I'm new to tomcat 5.0 and the use of context seems to have changed since 4.0. I have a war that expands outside ROOT when I place it in the webapps directory. If I place it in the ROOT directory it doesn't. I also noticed that 5.0 doesn't use a context entry for ROOT. So my questions are: 1. do I need a context entry in server.xml for my war in the webapps directory? 2. if yes, is there an example? thanks, Phil
