Hello Paul, That's not quite true. You can put a context configuration file in the META-INF of the .war file and Tomcat will pick that up as the context configuration file upon ant ant manager task "deploy".
<quote> For the deploy command, simply include your context confgiuration file in the WAR at "META-INF/context.xml". In Tomcat 4.1, you can dynamically deploy a "context configuration file" instead of, or along with your webapp. Such a file can contain the <Context> element, and all nested subelements, from what you would normally put in server.xml, so you can indeed dynamically deploy an app with a custom realm. </quote> I believe that quote is from Craig R. McClanahan, but I'm not completely sure. I just had it written down after seeing it on the list at one point in time.
