Hi all, It seems that META-INF/context.xml is treated differently by WAR and directory deployments, at least in tomcat 5.0.30-beta.
Looking at HostConfig.java, the method 'deployWARs' checks each '.war' file for a META-INF/context.xml file (line 528) and if it exists, it is copied to the catalina configuration directory (line 546). However, no such processing occurs in the method 'deployDirectories'. Each directory in appBase is checked for a WEB-INF subdirectory, but that is all (line 683). Is this the desired behavior? Am I missing some other piece of the puzzle? For me it's troublesome since I'm using the MyEclipse Tomcat deployer that just does a (more-or-less) simple copy of the project directory to the webapp directory. This means that I have to copy the META-INF/context.xml file by hand to the configuration directory every time I modify it. While not a huge problem, it's inconvenient and were it automatic it would be easier to convince people where I work that moving to Tomcat is a good idea. :-) Thanks, Ian Flanigan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
