Hi Pid,
Thanks for the useful explanation with an easy to understand example!
I did as you say, but am getting a 404 error. My TC structure looks like
this:
apache-tomcat-6.0.20
conf
Catalina
cfusion
pub.xml
localhost
<std TC stuff>
webapps
cfusion
cfdocs
CFIDE
META-INF
MANIFEST.MF
WEB-INF
web.xml
<other stuff>
<std TC stuff>
The pub.xml looks like:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Context docBase="c:\geo\W"></Context>
The c:\geo\W looks like:
index.jsp
index.cfm
I get the 404 error when I browse to:
http://localhost:8080/cfusion/pub/index.jsp
The TC console error is: Error [http-8080-1] - File not found:
/pub/index.jsp The specific sequence of files included or processed is:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\webapps\cfusion\pub\index.jsp''
I can launch the CFM administrator using:
http://localhost:8080/cfusion/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
Thanks for helping!
--Bob

There isn't a direct equivalent in Tomcat 6.0.
You can create individual Context definitions which map to the system
resource, which may be suitable for static resources, by setting the
'docBase' attribute to the 'system-path' valuea and putting an .xml file
named to the 'resource-path' value in:
apache-tomcat-6.x/conf/Catalina/<hostname>/<resource-path>.xml
where '<resource-path>' is the target path you wish to deploy the
resource at. You replace a '/' in multi-level paths with a '#' symbol.
E.g. in a file called:
conf/Catalina/localhost/the#content.xml
The definition would be:
<Context docBase="c:\some\os\file\path">
Which would result in the contents of '...\file\path' being made
available at:
localhost:8080/the/content
Tomcat 7.0 has an 'aliases' property on the Context element, if you are
prepared to live slightly closer to the edge.
