Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I am pretty green about all this and it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
When you say "better off using paths that are relative to the context root" do you mean I shouldn't be using root-relative? What tools are available that will help me do this in the JSP (I am not using a templating system; these are just prototype sites I am building - not complicated). I read the advanced configuration section of running.txt and the connector part seemss straightofward but then it seems to require startup variables at the command line. I have Tomcat running as a service so setting it to run with a different $CATALINA_BASE is not obvious. Thanks.
