It is possible to run jsp file from some other directory not from webapps dir?

Hi,

Yes. You should add something like:

Code:

<Context path="/my-webapp"
  docBase="/path/to/my-webapp"
   reloadable="true">
</Context>

before the closing </Host> in server.xml. And you have to restart tomcat

Regards

Yes i try this but it does not work actually i want my tomcat to integrate with apache so i add jkmount in vhost file.
When i add <context> part in server.xml and then i restart tomcat and i visit the link 'myip:8080' it does not show the tomcat page it is due to because i change in docBase="my path".

You didn't say anything about apache and mod_jk in your 1st post. What I've posted above is to be used by tomcat standalone. I.e. to visit your webapp you need to use: http://tomcat:8080/my-webapp.
Anyway if you changed the context path in tomcat, like in my previous post, then it should work too, using the url: http://apache/my-webapp. Of course your mod_jk setup should already be working.
