Question

I have eclipse installed and I installed Tomcat from there. I created an app with eclipse and it runs fine. I know that there are examples in the webapps dir under Tomcat, but they dont run. I think there is a path that was created by eclipse when I downloaded it to point to one webapps folder but I want the default.
I found this:

<Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps"
            unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
            xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

but its not helping me.
MY app that runs is in “C:\Users\mike\workspace\HelloMike”
I’m sure this is a simple config, but I’m new at this.
Thanks

Eclipse WTP create a .metadata-based CATALINA_BASE and will deploy your app to that directory when you hit deploy.
