Works for me. I might even code it if I get a chance later today ;) Mark - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Tomcat 7 - META-INF/context.xml
I would like to suggest that context.xml files that are contained within directories or WAR files do not get copied to a sub directory under "conf" where it remains if the war file or directory is removed while the server is shutdown. Copying the file META-INF/context.xml has never made much sense to me on why that was necessary or logical, it seems as a WAR file is self contained, and should remain so. what ya say?
