Sorry, I didn't catch the other one.

Tomcat 5.5x on xp

If I deploy the webapp in ROOT, then the structure would look like this:
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/root/mywebapp.=20
And the index.html would still live in root .. isn't that correct. So I
would still need a way to go from the root/index.html to the
mywebapp/index.html correct?

This is where it gets confusing.


Thanks,

(It would help if you'd tell us what Tomcat level you're running...)

For 5.5.x, the default webapp is the one located in webapps/ROOT.war or
the webapps/ROOT directory.

Deploy your webapp in webapps/ROOT, not webapps/mywebapp.

Where does it say that?  The current doc states that you _can_ nest
<Context> tags inside <Host>, not that you must.  Putting <Context> tags
in server.xml is strongly discouraged these days, but not all of the doc
has caught up to that fact.

That attribute for simple Tomcat installations is "localhost", which you
already have.  Nothing to do with contexts.
