the appBase is an attribute that is defined in your server.xml. By default it is your TOMCAT_HOME/WEBAPPS folder.

I will take your advice and figure out how to use META-INF/context.xml as soon as I get back to where I was (I wondered what that META-INF directory was for;-). Are the absolute paths like "http://localhost:8080/smsinfo"; or like "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/smsinfo"? This has always been a point of confusion for me. Also, I assume by docBase you mean the docbase attribute in the Context element. What do you mean by appBase?
