How do you get Tomcat to...

[Chris Sheerman <c....@uws.edu.au>]

Hi
How do you get Tomcat to use another directory as it's root ....in other 
words,  how would point it  to say c:\temp\myprograms instead of 
 ....\webapps?

For all versions of Tomcat, you can use an absolute pathname to a
directory as the "docBase" attribute of the <Context>.

If you want to change the directory in which Tomcat automatically
recognizes web applications, you can do that (Tomcat 4 only) by setting
the "appBase" parameter of the <Host> element.
