Re: Spindle / Tapestry tutorial quik kick off

Thanks, this has been a great thread to get started w/ Spindle.

[Apologies to the Tapestry Dev list for continuing this discussion of not 
entirely related Spindle issues]

I still seem to be having a problem integrating Tomcat running 
correctly.  Tomcat starts, but it loads all of my applications from 
TOMCAT/webapps and does not load workbench.  I noticed on the Tomcat setup 
page that the server.xml file automatically specified is my previously 
existing one - should I change that to something else to point the webapps 
directory to another location?  If I do that, won't I lose the root pages 
that I get at localhost/ ?

Thanks again,

Eric Everman
