Apache

Hi All,

We are currently using Apache tomcat Server for testing application locally.
in IIS, under URL rewrite, i am adding one rule.
In that rule i am mentioned path as "/PrasadTrunk{R:1}" under action properties.

Under the following directory C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\conf\Catalina\localhost
i am adding one xml file with same name as path mentioned above.

The xml content is

<context displayname="PrasadTrunk">
                docBase="F:\Prasad Applications\MODCAT\Personae\Personae\Tomcat"
                path="web"
                reloadable="true"
</context>

What it will do?

can anybody explain it please?

Many Thanks in Advance,
Prasad Guduri
