I'm trying to configure a tomcat context that I could deploy the classes, libs, web.xml using a .war file but the actual jsp's, html, web content would not be packed up in the .war file and would live in a directory outside of the exploded war directory. I need to be able to redeploy my classes/libs/web.xml without removing/redeploying the web content (html/jsp's). I would rather not have to hand copy class file/lib/configuration changes into my context WEB-INF directory but right now that seems as my only option if I do not want to rely on having my web content bundled into my .war. I have tried modifying my context's docBase to point outside of the host's appBase but that did not have desired effect as it changed the location of where my WEB-INF directory and web-content needed to go, when I really want to separate the location of the configuration,libs,classes of my context from the web content.
I'm running tomcat 6.0.29 on 64 bit RHEL 5. Apache 2.2.16 sits infront of tomcat. Any advice or kicks in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Jason
