URGENT: Tomcat4 - Setting my Application as Default

[Bob McCormick <bo...@intuitivesoftware.com>]

I'm having a devil of a time configuring my Application so that when I 
enter 'http://someIP_or_name_or_localhost/' I get my application rather 
than than the Tomcat Startup Screen.
 
At this point, I'm brain-dead I think. Here's what I've done so far:
1. Changed the CoyoteConnector to listen on port 80, instead of 8080.
2. Created the following connector:

     <Context path="" docBase="var/tomcat4/webapps/myapp" debug="0"/>

I still keep getting the Tomcat Congrads screen. Could somebody chime in 
here and lay this out for a complete idiot? Still feeling very new to 
this Tomcat stuff and need to get this nailed down SOON. (deadline looms)

Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks...Bob

Hello Bob, next time start out w/ info that can get the attention of people 
that can help u by supplying the following: tomcat version, platform, os, 
hardware, network config, name or type of tc application u r trying to run 
(jsp, servlet, other java object), protocal used: http, rmi, smtp. this is 
just the short list. back to ur question i don't understand ur statement: "I 
get my application rather than than the Tomcat Startup Screen." i assume u 
mean u r not getting ur application but the tomcat "congrats" screen 
instead. based on this assumption i will continue w/ a possible stab at this 
problem. typically, when an application is "built" for tc the invocation of 
the newly built application (defined here as <app_context>) would be 
something like: http://localhost:8080/<app_context> where <app_context> 
lives under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps and the definition/config for 
<app_context> may be found: 
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/<app_context>/WEB-INF/web.xml. the entire 
<app_context> business is created by tc from ur .war/.jar file combo that u 
hopefully created using ant and the build.xml that u used for ur 
<app_context> (whatever that may be). the ant "build" places the .war file 
below /webapps and when u bounce (preferably not) ur tc server the .war file 
is expanded 4 u into what i described above: 
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/<app_context>. hope this helps, david.
