Listing resources in a WAR seems perfectly reasonable, but listing the actual WAR seems a bit strange. > partial server.xml: > <Host name=".." appBase="fc_webapps" unpackWARs="true" > deployOnStartup="true" autoDeploy="false" xmlValidation="true"> >That host name looks very suspect; the value is supposed to be a DNS >name. I can't think of anything good happening with a value of "..". It is a dns name. I just didnt write it. > context.xml: > <Context docBase="ROOT" reloadable="true"></Context> Where is this context.xml file located? The docBase attribute must not be used unless the <Context> tag is inside server.xml or conf/Catalina/<host_name>/<app_name>.xml; the only time a file named context.xml is valid is inside the META-INF directory of a webapp. it is in META-INF. Ok, so I tried to remove the docBase. Made no difference whatsoever.
