Tomcat 3.3 context docbase mapped drive error

[Shilohcity]

Hi there

I am tearing my hair out over the use of mapped drives for docbase's. I have a Win2K/Tomcat3.3 installation which is working fine on my local drives but returns 404 errors when trying to connect to a mapped or shared drive. I have read the help about this and it explains that any docbase connection must be via a Windows mapped drive letter i.e. map drive to g:\ then enter docbase="g:\path". I have tried this to no avail....Arghhhh! any help would be most appreciated.

Here is my context file:

<Context path=&quot;/dyn&quot; docBase=&quot;c:\newFreeDev\docs&quot;
debug=&quot;0&quot;
reloadable=&quot;true&quot; >
<SimpleRealm filename=&quot;conf/users/example-users.xml&quot; />
<LogSetter name=&quot;example_tc.log&quot; path=&quot;logs/examples.log&quot; />
<LogSetter name=&quot;example_servlet_log&quot;
path=&quot;logs/servlet_examples.log&quot;
servletLogger=&quot;true&quot;/>
</Context>
