I have a dynamic web project (famtree) that is in my workspace and I can
publish it to a tomcat 5.5 server controlled by eclipse just fine.
However, it creates web pages which references a number of css files at
URLs of the form /style/style.css

I have another directory (chandlerfamily) in my workspace that contains
all the static content. Included in this directory is a subdirectory
style which holds all the .css files

How do I publish that into the root context of the tomcat server?

I tried effectively importing this into Eclipse by defining it as a
static web project, but doing this doesn't allow it to have a runtime
to publish to.

I tried editing server.xml in both the "servers"/tomcat directory in
eclipse and in
workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp 0/conf to
specify a docBase of the workspace/chandlerfamily and a path of "", but
that doesn't seem to work either.

Alan,

Are you saying that your famtree web project references the .css files
at http://localhost:8080/style/style.css or
http://localhost:8080/famtree/style/style.css?

Cheers,
Larry

You need a Dynamic Web Project whose context-root is set to "", i.e. is
the default Web application. If you create a new project for this
purpose, you may get an opportunity to set the Context Root to "" in the
Dynamic Web Project wizard, depending on your version of WTP. After the
project exists, trying to set the Context Root to "" in the project
properties results in an error (see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=137628 for details). You
have to manually modify the ".component" or
"org.eclipse.wst.common.component" file make this change. Once you have
this project setup, add the desired .css content to that project's
WebContent folder.

As mentioned in Comment #2 of Bug 137628, you may want to turn off
auto-serving of webapps to avoid trouble with this bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=125364.

Cheers,
Larry

A bit of a delay until I managed to get around to trying this. Thank
you it works fine.
