RE: Auto-deploying WAR file with arbitrary filename, defining the URL context in meta file

 Subject: Auto-deploying WAR file with arbitrary filename, defining the URL 
 context in meta file

 My problem is that I'd like to auto-deploy a WAR file with a fixed
 filename specialfilename.war (because it includes a special identifier
 that I need). With Tomcat 6, the WAR filename has to be
 my#url#context.war in order to auto-deploy it to /my/url/context.

Don't put your .war file in the Host's appBase directory.  Instead, locate it 
outside of Tomcat's directory structure, and create a file 
conf/Catalina/[host]/my#url#context.xml containing a Context element with a 
docBase attribute pointing to the location of specialfilename.war.

That solution works for me, thank you very much.
