Help with context path needed!

[bunnyweb]

I'm hoping and praying that this is possible.

I have a Windows 2000 server. I have Tomcat installed and running on the C drive. I want to be able to put my JSP pages on the D drive of the same machine.

I'm not all that familiar with Tomcat, but I found that I can add a context path in my server.xml file like so:

<Context path="/aib" docBase="aib" debug="0" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_aib_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
</Context>


However, I found that the path must be in relation to the Tomcat webapps directory. Is there a way to point this to a directory on the D drive instead?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Yes. You must define (or change) a <Host> entry in server.xml like so :

<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="D:/some/where"
      unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
      xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
 
      <Context path="/myWebapp" docBase="myWebApp" debug="0" reloadable="true" crossContext="true/>
</Host>
