Could anyone answer my question, please?

I'd like to deploy a web application folder 

C:\app\myapp

to Tomcat6.x instead of having a copy under

%TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps

Which configuration is required on tomcat server?

Thanks

You should create a myapp.xml file for this app and place it in %TOMCAT_HOME%\conf\Catalina\localhost.

The file looks something like this:

<Context displayName="myapp" 
     docBase="C:/app/myapp"
     path="/myapp"
     reloadable="true" />

    That works. Thanks. Just to be more precise. context.xml should be myappname.xml, then you will be able to use http://localhost/myappname instead of http://localhost/context – netic Mar 21 '09 at 03:40

  • Either use forward slashes or double `\\\` backslashes for paths in Windows. – Kees de Kooter Jan 21 '19 at 15:46
