My Tomcat skills are rusty -- I must be missing something easy here.
I just installed TC v4.1.24 on Win 2k. The installation worked right out of
the box. I didn't have to make any changes to the server.xml. TC is up and
running but I'm seeing something strange I was hoping someone could explain:
Here's a quote from the TC documentation: "...you MUST define a Context with
a context path equal to a zero-length string. This Context becomes the
default web application for this virtual host, and is used to process all
requests that do not match any other Context's context path."
Okay, that's fine, but when I look at conf/server.xml I see this:
<!-- Tomcat Root Context -->
<!--
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>
-->
Why is this commented out? According to the documentation there must be a
"context path equal to a zero-length string". The quote I cited seems to
contradict what I'm seeing in server.xml.
Even though this is commented out everything seems to work fine. In other
words, if I browse to localhost:8080 I do indeed see webapps/ROOT/index.jsp.
Is the docBase named "ROOT" the default? If so, then the documentation
should mention that I think.
Thanks very much,
Tony
