A docbase ... inside the host appBase has been specified
I apologize for the rookie mistake, but I can't figure out what I've
done wrong here...
I'm trying to configure a simple servlet, but when I launch tomcat
(via IDEA) I see this message in the tomcat output:
"A docBase /Volumes/misc/apache-tomcat-5.5.17/webapps/subset inside
the host appBase has been specified, and will be ignored."
I haven't been able to figure out the cause of this (or really what
the error means)... perhaps an error in my web.xml (at the end of
this email).
Your help is appreciated.

I would start by reading the tomcat docs:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html

Thanks so much for your helpful response.
I mistakenly thought that was the problem with my servlet. Now I see
that it is actually running (I was trying to hit http://localhost:
8080/CommandServlet rather than http://localhost:8080/subset/
CommandServlet -- sorry, rookie here).
I was hoping to see more logging info, but I also get the warnings:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
(org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.sax).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
What's the appropriate procedure for getting this working?

Re: A docbase ... inside the host appBase has been specified

What it means is there is a context xml file (typically in
config/Catalina/localhost, probably subset.xml) that specifies a docBase
attribute. That attribute is useful if the webapp is not within
tomcat's webapps directory, but ignored as redundant when the webapp is
in the webapps directory. The message is more or less info level
logging and does not indicate an error.
Nothing to do with your web.xml file. Are you having trouble getting
your servlet to run when you call it?
