Re: Shared context.xml on WIndows XP
Thanks to all for their help. After some more investigation, I
realized I really didn't want Tomcatto follow the sym links. I solved
my problem by defining some Contexts in server.xml so that, for
eample, /images looked for a specific folder (not under Tomcat's
control)

Looks good to me.

Makes sense, I think. For example, I removed the <Context
path='/images' ...<> from server.xml, created
conf/Catalina/[host]/images.xml & put the Context element in there,
without the path attribute.
Seems to be working fine, so I think I did it right?

That will specify attributes for a webapp named "context". If you want those attributes to apply to all webapps for a given <Host>, the file should be in conf/Catalina/[host]/context.xml.default. If you want the attributes for a specific webapp, the location is conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml, as stated before. Note that under no conditions are any of these <Context> elements allowed to have a path attribute, but they may have a docBase attribute if the webapp is located outside of the <Host>'s appBase directory.

Hmmm ... what about if I put them in
conf/Catalina/[host]/context.xml
Will that work?

Bad idea. <Context> elements should be in each webapp's META-INF/context.xml file, or in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml. Allowing them in server.xml is mostly there for compatibility with the bad old days.
