I was just doing some experimenting with some stuff i had developed and was merging my stuff with the catalina stuff, among other things. I would perfer to have a directory structure like myproject +--conf +--catalina (web.xml, server.xml, etc.) | +--myproject | +--otherstuff So back to the original question, how do I specify where the base web.xml file should be loaded from. >You've got it basically right. What would be completely right? I have started work on what I think will work (Making my own startup.ContextConfig, startup.Constants, and startup.Catalina classes that are dependent on properties files instead of hardcoded locations (for example say I want the conf dir. to be called config instead). Property files isn't the greatest of solutions but I think it will work and add bit more flexibility. I still have alot to figure out about how catalina is setup, so this all might be unecessary.
