Yes, it is possible

So is it possible to add a context that's not within the tomcat root
directory. By tomcat root directory I mean C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Tomcat 4.1\ as an example on my machine.
If I want to put my jsps in c:\some_dir, is that possible?

thanks for the help

Hi there,

path is for url so your example below will fail
<Context path="C:/" docbase="Projects/calendar/htdocs" debug="0"/>

http://localhost:8080/<context_path>/path/to/servlet

Does the examples work for you? http://localhost:8080/examples?

How about removing this context and sticking with the basic build and
enabling debugging (i.e. change debug from 0 to 1 on the <Context>)

Finally check for stray characters in your MANIFEST-MF file. At least with
ATG/Dynamo its very picky about its manifest file with ^M control chars.

Good luck

JM

I tried that, and a couple of other variations like
<Context path="C:/" docbase="Projects/calendar/htdocs" debug="0"/>
but it still gave me the same nullPointer exception.why?

Try using forward slashes for the directory delimiter?

<Context path="" docbase="c:/Projects/calendar/htdocs" debug="0"/>
