Mohammed My understanding is that any web-app (even "normal", non-war web-apps) that are located in Tomcat's web-apps folder do not need to be "declared" in server.xml: it's only when you have web-apps in non-standard places that you need to state where they're located. wars are either copied into the web-apps folder, and then picked up by Tomcat when it starts, or deployed (by Tomcat's manager app) once Tomcat is running. Either way, they exist in the web-apps folder. <<disclaimer>> I'm getting out of my depth here - can someone step up if I've got this wrong? > Thanks > HTH John -- John Niven Please reply through mailing list -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
