Thanks for clearing that up Craig, however I still have problems with the
unpackwars attrbiute.
If I put my Context details in the server.xml file and leave the un-exploded
war file in web apps, Tomcat starts up but throws an exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base
K:\Extensions\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12\webapps\reality does not exist or is not
a readable directory

And I have to explode the war manually before I start the server.
Why????????
My context:
<Context path="/reality" docBase="reality" debug="5" reloadable="true"
crossContext="true">...
My Host tag is as such:
<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
I've tried setting the docBase to the war file, but the war isn't exploded
and it runs off the war file directly. This means, an XML file I use for
config in my WEB-INF folder is inaccessible. (Unless I move this now to the
classes folder and load it through a classloader, which means I can't edit
it, etc, etc...). I know, I know I shouldn't be writing to the web app but I
need to ;-)
If all comes to worse, I just move my config to the database instead.
Cheers,
Anthony
