默认情况下，在tomcat根目录下的webapps下的web项目，在tomcat启动的时候都会被发布，同时发布的情况会通过下面黄色部分的日志记录。但是没有放在放在webapps目录下的web项目，通过在conf/server.xml也是可以将其配置进入tomcat的，启动的时候也会将这些web项目部署好的，但是确没有在启动的时候把发布的项目的情况通过日志打印出来，这个确实让人头痛。
在conf/server.xml配置非webapps下的外部web项目的具体实例如下所示：
配置了一个21.11项目和配置了一个MP3Eden项目：
<Host appBase="webapps" autoDeploy="true" name="localhost" unpackWARs="true">
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" pattern="%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt"/>
<Context docBase="D:\root\apache-tomcat-7.0.57-windows-x64\apache-tomcat-7.0.57\wtpwebapps\21.11" path="/21.11" reloadable="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:21.11"/>
<Context docBase="D:\root\apache-tomcat-7.0.57-windows-x64\apache-tomcat-7.0.57\wtpwebapps\MP3Eden" path="/MP3Eden" reloadable="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:MP3Eden"/></Host>
