If you name a context in server.xml, your .war file will *not* be expanded automatically. What you will need to do is stop Tomcat, manually expand the .war file to a directory named "shilton" and then restart. alternatively, you can avoid editing the server.xml and put this in a context configuration file. See the admin.xml and manager.xml files in "webapps" for examples. Basically, you just copy your entire <Context ...> entry to a separate .xml file. I'd name it the same thing as your webapp to make it clear what that file if for, but I don't think that is a requirement. Either way, you need to manually expand your .war file *before* tomcat is restarted.
Alternatively, you can start Tomcat (making sure to have removed the <Context ...> entry from server.xml), create your context configuration file and name it "context.xml". Put that in META-INF of your .war file, and then use the Tomcat manager app's "deploy" command to deploy your .war file. Modify your context to have a docbase with the name of the .war file (I believe). The easiest way to do this is to use the catalina ant manager tasks.

Can anybody shed any light on this. If I add this to my server XML file :-- <Context path="/shilton" docBase="shilton" debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true"> <Resource name="jdbc/shiltonDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" /> - <ResourceParams name="jdbc/shiltonDB"> - <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value> </parameter> - <parameter> <name>maxActive</name> <value>100</value> </parameter> - <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>5</value> </parameter> - <parameter> <name>maxWait</name> <value>100</value> </parameter> - <parameter> <name>username</name> <value>INTERNET</value> </parameter> - <parameter> <name>password</name> <value>INTERNET</value> </parameter> - <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <value>com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver</value> </parameter> - <parameter> <name>url</name> <value>jdbc:as400://NORBERT</value> </parameter> </ResourceParams> </Context> When I try to publish via a war file Tomcat will not start. If I delete the war file and publish the folder manually Tomcat starts - have I done something wrong. Some notes - I have my test server installed on a WIN2K box and it works ok - I am using IBM's WSAD 4.0.3 so I presume the files are not published via a war. My production box is Linux RH7.2.
