JAVA:1.5.0.18, OS:Ubuntu 8.04.2, TC:5.5.25

i have a virutal host set up in apache at /home/testdomain, and the associated domain is testdomain.lan

I want all jsp files to be run from the /home/testdomain/public_html/jsp directory

I do not know what to put for appbase or docBase in the host part of server.xml can someone tell me.

Code:

<!-- testdomain.lan -->
<host name="testdomain.lan" appBase="WHAT_GOES_HERE?" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<context path="" docBase="WHAT_GOES_HERE?" debug="0" reloadable="true"/>
<valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="/var/log/virtualmin"  prefix="testdomain.lan.tomcat_access_" suffix=".log" pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
</host>

p.s Should the path parameter be other than "" also? If so what?

Thanks.
