It is that context that associates > jar files in webapps/myApp/WEB-INF/lib with the deployment > descriptor in webapps/myApp/WEB-INF/web.xml While that might resolve the problem, it strikes me as wrong. I was under the impression that the intent is that a .war is dropped in webapps/ and the engine takes care of the rest. You can see the contexts (contexti?) being automatically created at startup. If you have to edit server.xml, that implies priviledges people would not have on some hosting services. Jim
