Setting up Tomcat - server.xml

[DJSmith]

I need to create a context where the docbase is pointing to a directory on another machine (over a network obviously).

This is what i am trying but it isn't working:

<Context path=&quot;/AgendaMinutes1&quot;
docBase=&quot;\\computer name\directory&quot;
crossContext=&quot;true&quot;
debug=&quot;0&quot;
reloadable=&quot;true&quot;
trusted=&quot;false&quot; >
</Context>

any idea's?

I doubt you can do this. You could probably do it using a network share (NT or Samba) however.

it works when you map a network drive and use

docbase = &quot;G:/blah/blah

but this won't be any good for a linux machine

Sure it will. Use Samba to create a network share. It works the same way only without the driver letter. YOu would mount the share under a directory and it would appear as if it was on the same machine.
