To serve http://localhost:8080/myapp/index.html, all you need is the /myapp Context element. You don't need either of those Resources elements. Using them just confuses Tomcat. I'm not sure what you want to do...if you want to put index.html in c:\dev\proj1\web and have that be /myapp/index.html, then you need to make c:\dev\proj1\web the docBase for your /myapp Context.
From: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/resources.html "The Resources element represents the web application static resources, from which classes will be loaded, HTML, JSP and the other static files will be served. This allows the webapp to reside on various mediums other than the filesystem, like compressed in a WAR file, in a JDBC database, or in a more advanced versioning repository." "A Resources element MAY be nested inside a Context component. If it is not included, a default filesystem based Resources will be created automatically, which is sufficient for most requirements."
