Thank you, I appreciate your reply. I didn't have a context entry so I 
added a minimal one (copied from the /examples one) before proceeding 
further as shown below.

        <Context path="/xxx" docBase="xxx" debug="0" reloadable="true" 
crossContext="true" />

Unfortunately tomcat doesn't start now. I get a 'Document base 
C:\Development\Java\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31\webapps\xxx does not exist or 
is not a readable directory'

So I added a direcory xxx. Now tomcat starts ok but it doesn't unpack 
the xxx.war. Again I'm probably making some very simple mistake but 
can't see the problem or an answer in the docs or by googling...
