You could update the "appBase" attribute to point to a different directory
than "webapps". Or you could specify the absolute path in the "docBase"
attribute of the Context element to override the "appBase". This way you
could have a context outside of webapps. Also read up on auto-deploying of
web applications.
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/host.html#Automatic%20Application%20Deployment
That is you could just drop a war file in the "webapps" directory or any
other appBase directory and Tomcat will auto-deploy the web app without you
creating a Context entry in server.xml.

Hi,
I would like to put my webapp out side of ~\tomcat\webapps directory. I
know I need to setup a context in the ~\tomcat\conf\server.xml to point to
my webapp directory. And it is working fine.
Base on the environment stated above, my question is: Is there a way to
configure Tomcat so that I don't need to modify the
~/tomcat\conf\server.xml to add a context for my app?
Thanks.
Chiming
