Context path

[pen81]

I have deployed an application with Tomcat5 called "MyFirst" by creating a directory MyFirst under webapps, and adding a file MyFirst.xml in conf/Catalina/localhost and all is fine.

I would now like to deploy an application "development/MySecond" but cant seem to get this to work, with the two directories. I can do this with Tomcat 3 on my old machine, where you added contexts to server.xml, but with Tomcat 4 or newer the standalone XML files are required. What would be the name of the XML file, for example?

Thats not actually true - you can use Tomcat 4 or 5 in the same way you used Tomcat 3. Personally, I just build a .war file and dump it in webapps - or you can just create directories under webapps as you did before - no need to add any files into conf.
