Jboss/tomcat mapping configuration error

Question

I can't even get the combination to serve a .jsp file or .html file. Regardless of the URL that I attempt, I only get a No Context configured to process this request error from tomcat and INFO [Engine] StandardHost[localhost]: MAPPING configuration error for request URI from JBoss. I've tried to access all of the various webapps under the catalina directory and can't get to any of them. I know that catalina is started because the log file shows
<Service name="JBoss-Tomcat">
<Engine name="MainEngine" defaultHost="localhost">
<Logger className="org.jboss.web.catalina.Log4jLogger" verbosityLevel="trace" category="org.jboss.web.localhost.Engine" />
<Host name="localhost">
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" prefix="localhost_access" suffix=".log" pattern="common" directory="../server/default/log" />
<DefaultContext cookies="true" crossContext="true" override="true" />
</Host>
</Engine>

<Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector" port="8080" minProcessors="3" maxProcessors="10" enableLookups="true" acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="60000" />
</Service>
</Server> in jboss.web:service=EmbeddedCatalinaSX

with no errors. I'm confused because I was able to consistently work with previous versions of JBoss with no problem. The configuration seems to have changed radically, is this some recent change that I just can't find a reference to? Thanks for any help.

Hi
For Tomcat 3.x you need to use one of the following options:
(Note: this is with JBoss/Tomcat OR JBoss/Jetty)
Place you .war files in the following location:
C:\jboss-3.0.3\server\default\deploy and the app is automatically available.
If my app's name is DavidOnline.war, when deployed, I can access it at
http://localhost:8080/DavidOnline..
OR
Copy your entire development directory to the deploy direction above, RENAME your
directory from say C:\JspApps to C:\JspApps.war and you can work from that location and see your changes immeadiatly.
There is a file called jboss-service.xml that has some config options, also for the Tomcat bundle there is a file named tomcat-service.xml that has the standard server.xml section.. I suggest you check out the JBoss website, free docs and forums.. http://www.jboss.org.
Thanks, Hope this helps.
