Howdy, As always, there's no right or wrong. There are multiple options depending on what you're trying to do.
Unless you want some non-default context property that must be put in server.xml, don't touch server.xml. I like the KISS (Keep It Simple..) principle, so this usually works for me. That means you don't need an explicit <context> tag for your webapp in server.xml. For more details, see http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/context.html If you do need non-default things for your context, such as JNDI reference declarations, then you'll need a <context> tag in server.xml most likely. BTW: be careful trusting these books, as they tend to be out of date ;( Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics >-----Original Message----- >From: Steve R Burrus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 1:49 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: What about the Context tag? > > Hello there, newbie finds himself in some need of help with using the ><Context> >tag!!
