Hi,

my application is in the /webapps/hst/htdocs directory. I have created a war file from ../hst directory and named it hst.war. I have used ant task to do it.

<war destfile="${tomcat.home}/webapps/hst/hst.war"
       webxml="${tomcat.home}/webapps/hst/htdocs/WEB-INF/web.xml"
       >
       <fileset dir="${tomcat.home}/webapps/hst"/>
       <excludesfile name="${tomcat.home}/webapps/hst/htdocs/WEB-INF/web.xml"/>
    </war>


when i copy the war file to the unix box and restart tomcat, it creates WEB-INF file under
/hst ( webapps/hst/WEB-INF/web.xml). there is also webapps/hst/htdocs/WEB-INF/web.xml.
my server.xml has context which has docbase="hst/htdocs". When i try to run my application on tomcat i get the following error. Context path is set to /hst and not /hst/htdocs as in server.xml. Please help
