1. If you're strictly using static content, you should be able to simply
drop the context into your host's webapps directory without a web.xml
and see it. Your context's docBase *is* in that appBase, right?
But if you have a web.xml with errors -- yeah, it won't be availabile.
2. "problems loading..." -- *what* problems? 404 on the script files,
or ___? ..."because of how I am accessing the html" -- what does that
mean? Are you using something other than a Web browser? If it's a
404 problem, what do your access logs show?
A little more info would help... :-)
