Then you're pretty much out of luck - that code is broken. > I could reset CATALINA_BASE to point to somewhere else No, you can't. CATALINA_BASE is needed for the Tomcat startup scripts; don't even think about changing it. > I have multipe contexts(web applications ) and I need each > to have its own unique directory to go look for files in. Which is why you need to fix the code. > Is it possible that I could make each context get a different > CATALINA_BASE (or other) variable or otherwise get accomplish > the same goal? Not without changing the code in the webapp. It appears to be blindly trying to open files under whatever the current directory is - never a wise thing to do. > I'm still new to navigating around the docs and the new tomcat Nothing to do with Tomcat - this is bad application design. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
