Hi John,
Thanks for the suggestion, but... I can't find it. Creating a <Context> entry is
introduced but not really explained. The paragraph you mention is this:
"""
* Add a <Context> entry in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml configuration file.
This approach is described briefly below, and allows you to position the document root
of your web application at some point other than the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/
directory. You will need to restart Tomcat to have changes in this configuration file
take effect. See the administrator documentation (TODO: hyperlink) for more
information on configuring new Contexts in this way.
"""
I seem to be missing part of the docs. I would copy the one for "examples" webapp
except that this is a very big <Context> node with a lot of details that I don't
understand. Is the "Administrators Guide" available online somewhere?
