Thanks for the link to the Apache Tomcat Configuration Reference. That was very helpful. The concept of Context would appear to provide exactly the capability that I need. You can specify the root directory for a web app using the docBase property of Context. The difficulty comes from the fact that the directory/file layout for the Tomcat embedded inside JBoss does not match that described in the config doc for a normal Tomcat deployment. I believe that I want to define a somewhere. I just don't know where to put it inside the JBoss/Tomcat install. I have tried a number of options and nothing seems to work. Is there someone who can offer guidance specifically on how to do this in a JBoss/Tomcat install? Exactly what files with what config content in what directories? Thanks.
