Keep the .war file *outside* of Tomcat's directory structure, and place its <Context> element in conf/Catalina/[host]/[app#url#path].xml. Inside the <Context> element, include a docBase attribute pointing to the location of the .war file. > What options do I have for setting the DEFAULT context, aside > from setting the directory name to ROOT? If you don't want to name the directory (or .war file) ROOT, then follow the procedure outlined above, where [app#url#path] is ROOT (case sensitive). > How can I configure tomcat so that I can drop a war file > into the webapps (or some virtual host) directory and > without changing its name have this (exploded or otherwise) > file be set as the default context? You can't. The easiest procedure in all cases is just to name the .war file properly. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
