Deploying Default Webapp in Tomcat 6.0
I've been trying to figure out how to deploy a .war file as the root webapp in Tomcat 6.0.10.
Say I have a "foo.war" file, and create a conf/Catalina/localhost/foo.xml file with the
following contents:
<Context path="" docBase="foo" />
I would expect (as in Tomcat 5), that the url: http://localhost:8080/ would be routed to the
webapp in foo.war. However, I simply get a blank page (yes, i've removed the webapps/ROOT
directory).
I've found not much of anything useful in the documentation on doing this.
Can anyone figure out what I'm doing wrong?

(I'm going to get a rubber stamp for this one.) The path attribute is
not allowed when <Context> is in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appname].xml, and
the docBase attribute must not be used if the app is deployed under the
<Host>'s appBase directory.
Read the description of the path attribute for the <Context> element:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
You would normally name the default app ROOT.war, as the doc states, and
place it in the appBase directory (webapps, by default). If you insist
on naming the .war something else, then keep it outside of Tomcat's
directory structure, and put your <Context> element in
conf/Catalina/[host]/ROOT.xml with a docBase attribute pointing to the
location of the .war file (do not include a path attribute).
