But it shouldn't have. I suspect this was one of the bugs fixed between .7 and .12, where the documented rules are more tightly enforced. > After installing 5.5.12, I see there is a context element in this file > already. As I understand it, the conf/context.xml provides global settings applicable to all webapps; it is not there to define a context for any particular webapp, just extend the context for each. > How do I set up a default context in 5.5.12 for a web application that > is not located in the web apps directory (I could do this for 5.5.7 > and before using the method described above). Rename your context.xml file to ROOT.xml (case sensitive) and put it in conf/Catalina/localhost (assuming that's the only <Host> you have defined). Remove the path attribute if it's still in there. Include a docBase attribute that specifies the location of your webapp (you probably already have that). Delete the webapps/ROOT directory.
