Thank you very much Varsha,
I have Tomcat 5. In this version they discourage using the context tag inside server.xml. Instead they have a separate file called context.xml where the contexts should be put in. I tried to put it in there and it did not work. Once I put it in the server.xml it worked fine. I had to do one change to your suggestion. The "My Documents" folder is not found directly in the C:\ directory but under \Documents and Settings directory.
Thanks anyway, I appreciate it
Andi
