Oh shoot, I've updated the docs before the code is actually released. I
just wrote those, so haven't fine tuned them. Use the shortcut way,
that's also the old way of making a data directory. Just make
C:\geoserver_data_dir\WEB-INF where you put the services.xml and
catalog.xml
and then just copy over the full data/ directory from the webapp to:
C:\geoserver_data_dir\data.
I'll update the docs appropriately, that it's only RC7 and later that
the new way is effective, I think I wasn't counting on anyone actually
reading the new docs until the new version came out, which was sorta
silly.

Chris -
Thanks. I tried to setup the data dir by following steps you
suggested:
(1) setup an environment variable GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR on Windows
(2) create a directory in c:\geoserver_data_dir, and make the
variable
pointing to it.
(3) unzip geoserver.war. copy over catalog.xml and services.xml
(4) copy over demo, featureTypes, plugIns, styles and validation
directories.
However, having the data dir setup, when I deployed geoserver.war, I
still got following. Did I missed someting ?
Thanks.
