解决启动tomcat报java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base G:\Program Files\Apache Software Founda

如果你启动tomcat时在控制台报如下错误，请检查你tomcat路径下的servlet.xml中的

<Context docBase="G:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT" path=""  reloadable="true"/>中的docBase是否是一个存在的路径

严重: Error starting static Resources

一般情况下，docBase配置tomcat所在的路径，比如：C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT
