hi,
in the <tomcat>/webapps/ directory, there are several contextes (
test, examples) with each it's own web.xml file. you can add a directory (eg. named "tony") in the webapps of tomcat. just build the same structure as in the other contexts. and take a look at their web.xml file.
then modyfy the server.xml in <tomcat>/conf and add your own context (just copy the context of "test" and replace "test" in the path and the docBase with "tomy". path is the name you have to type on the server (eg. localhost/tony) to reach your context and docbase is the path to the files on local file system.
for the web.xml take a look to the web.xml in /example.
