Starting tomcat from different directory.

[Ayusman dikshit <Ay...@infosys.com>]

Hi All,

If I am creating a web-application need I put it only in the webapps
folder?

Can I put it somewhere else in my directory structure (out of the usual
tomcat installation directory) and point tomcat to consider this as

a valid web application.



Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.



Regards

Ayusman

Yes.

Yes. Setting an appropriate "docBase" on the <Context> description will do:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
Since you didn't say which Tomcat version you are using you may need to adjust 
the above URL.
