A) <Context> elements should not be in server.xml - they belong in each webapp's META-INF/context.xml file, or in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml. Had you used the strongly recommended technique, you wouldn't have a problem. B) As the 5.5 doc clearly states, the path for the default webapp is "", not "/". C) There is no <DefaultContext> element in Tomcat 5.5. You appear to have copied over a horribly outdated configuration from some older version and tried to use it in 5.5; that's always a dangerous thing to do. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
