Tomcat 5.5 manager deploy context descriptor
Hello all, I have Tomcat 5.5.27 running on ScientificLinux 5 (RHEL5 clone). I need a production environment -specific Context Descriptor for my WAR, so I've tried to use the manager/deploy with ant to deploy context descriptor file with the war file. The WAR in this case does not have META-INF in it, and so, I'm assuming its context should come from the context.xml that I specify. The context.xml file that I point to does not appear in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/, as it does if I'd be deploying just the WAR with META-INF/context.xml. OK, I read somewhere that the context would be loaded just in memory in this case, and not copied as a file. However, the Context specific database pool does not work either, which it does when I just copy the war file with autoDeploy on. I read TC5.5 documents, and there is no mentioning about the actual fate of the context.xml file specified in the manager/deploy task. What happens to it? Is there a way to see, if my context.xml is actually loaded anywhere? I cannot see anything in the logs or manager/deploy response. How should I be doing this? I would not want to put anything about the pooled database connection to server.xml. Also, if autoDeploy is off, what is the 'safe' point to copy the context.xml to myapp/META-INF/, if I decided to do it in the deployment script? If autoDeploy is on, will that screw things up in this case? My configurations: Host: Top of context.xml file Thank you, Anni
