| How can I put JSP files in a directory other than /webapps/ when I use the Tomcat 3.2 container? |
| Answer: The documents under Tomcat’s doc directory describe how you can configure Tomcat the way you want, but here’s a brief answer.Edit the conf/server.xml file and add an element like this for top level directory you want to store the JSP files in: <Context path="/myapp" docBase="C:/websites/myapp" crossContext="false" debug="0" reloadable="true" > </Context> Note, however, that the directory you specify as docBase must contain the complete web application directory structure, i.e. the WEB-INF directories as well as the JSP pages (see Chapter 2, 4 and Appendix D in the book for more info). You need to restart Tomcat for this change to take effect. |
