Care to tell us the version of Tomcat you're using? Or should we just guess? The above is incorrect; set it up like this: mydir/html/ROOT mydir/html/ROOT/WEB-INF mydir/html/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes mydir/html/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib mydir/html/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml > At server.xml I've included this host: > > <Host name="myhost.es" appBase="/myhost/html" unpackWARs="true" > autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> With the above directory changes, your <Host> settings are o.k. > <Context path="" reloadable="true" docBase="/myhost/html"/> The <Context> is completely wrong: 1) Don't put <Context> elements in server.xml - that's extremely bad practice unless you're using an ancient level of Tomcat. 2) The <Context> element should be in the webapp's META-INF/context.xml file; in your case, that will be mydir/html/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml. 3) The docBase attribute (when used, which is rarely) must *never* be the same as appBase. 4) For your case, the path and docBase attributes are not allowed when the <Context> element is in the proper location; remove them. > And everything works fine. Not really; there are bugs in certain versions of Tomcat that make it appear to work. You're also getting double application deployment and have serious security holes with your current setup. > What I've done es to take the directory mydir/html and create the > html.war. Change the name to ROOT.war. > Then I changed the host by this one: > <Host name="myhost.es" appBase="/myhost" unpackWARs="true" > autoDeploy="true" > xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> The above is o.k. > <Context path="" reloadable="true" docBase="/myhost/html"/> This is bad, for the reasons stated above.
