No - it merely adds attribute values for *all* <Context> elements, even for webapps that have their own. A webapp *may* override the attribute values in conf/context.xml, but if it doesn't do so explicitly, the ones in conf/context.xml apply in addition to any attributes the one from the webapp specifies. > can I have ReplicatedContext for individual webapps > that I want to run on the cluster? Yes, but that's completely independent of conf/context.xml, *unless* you modify that to include a className attribute. > 2.

Normally, the best place is to keep it with the webapp: ROOT/META-INF/context.xml; alternatively, you may place it in conf/Catalina/[host]/ROOT.xml. In either case, the path and docBase attributes must not be set. You would normally use the latter location only if you want to package your webapp for distribution and be able to set (e.g., a database resource) attributes without modifying anything inside the package. > My major concern is that modification to the webapps context. xml or > webapp.xml containing context info, should not interfere with the > running of other webapps in production environment. It won't, if you do what's described above. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
