Thank you!
Had some problems but I was able to research the issues and find a
solution to what I was doing wrong. I did not have a "/cdn/ROOT"
directory, mine is "/webapps/ROOT". The Resource section needs to be
with-in the Context section and not after it. My original context.xml
file only had two lines. I had to use two different file paths, since
the application path (/opt/tomcat/..." is different from the client
path (/temp/...).
Once I had the issues corrected it worked great. Thank you, again.
