Ok quick question I have a folder on c: this is where I am saving all the files that are created for my jsp class, but how do I set the context path. Since this folder is outside the tomcat directory. the book we, plus the instructor aren't very clear on this.
I assumed you were using Tomcat 4.x as your Tomcat version wasn't mentioned earlier. Anyway, now that you have found the solution, in the older Tomcat 4.x & 3.x the context were added to the server.xml. You can do the same in Tomcat 5.5.7 but to tidy the things up with your webapps the new Tomcat places a file each for every context in the <catalina_home>\conf\Catalina\localhost folder.
