Links User Guide Reference Apache Tomcat Development | Assumptions |
For the sake of this how-to, assume you have a development host with two
host names, ren and stimpy . Let's also assume
one instance of Tomcat running, so $CATALINA_HOME refers to
wherever it's installed, perhaps /usr/local/tomcat .
Also, this how-to uses Unix-style path separators and commands; if you're
on Windows modify accordingly.

Configuring Your Contexts |
General |
Contexts are normally located underneath the appBase directory. For
example, to deploy the foobar context as a war file in
the ren host, use
$CATALINA_HOME/renapps/foobar.war . Note that the
default or ROOT context for ren would be deployed as
$CATALINA_HOME/renapps/ROOT.war (WAR) or
$CATALINA_HOME/renapps/ROOR (directory).
NOTE: The docBase for a context should never be
the same as the appBase for a host.
|
context.xml - approach #1 |
Within your Context, create a META-INF directory and then
place your Context definition in it in a file named
context.xml . i.e.
$CATALINA_HOME/renapps/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml
This makes deployment easier, particularly if you're distributing a WAR
file.
