Ok, so if I am just working in development and only using classes outside of a war or a jar file how should I configure the application? If I remove those mappings how would tomcat know that a request for /LabCatalogue should be matched to my code in c:\\webapps\LabCatalogue?

The appBase on the Host element is where Tomcat looks for apps to deploy. Apps are either a .war or a directory (actually an exploded .war file). For an application placed in the appBase, Tomcat will automatically determine the 'path' it will be deployed at and the 'docBase', so you don't need to specify either attribute. You get the warning if the docBase is present and redundant. As a rule of thumb, setting 'path' or 'docBase' is generally unnecessary - possibly even 'a bad idea'. p > Thanks, > > Paul > > ********************************************************************** > ********************************************** > > This message may contain confidential information.
