Hi, No, I didn't create the context configuration file under /conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/. It was created by Tomcat on the fly. And my webapp wasn't starting up twice, which is good. Also I can delete that dir, but it would be recreated next time when I restart Tomcat5. I think the confusion lies on whether it's user's responsibily or the container's to clean up the configuration file after user deleting a context element in server.xml.
In tomcat user-guide: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/deployer-howto.html, there is nothing about when a context descriptor is created, and what happens if you decide to delete a context in your server.xml. It would be nice if the container refreshes that directory/recreates all the context descriptors when server.xml is modified. But maybe there is some other setting I don't know of in 5. I didnt' have this problem with tomcat 4 before.

Hmmm -- you had a <Context> element for this webapp in server.xml *and* a separate context configuration file? That's redundant, because they serve the same purpose. I'm not sure what would happen in that case -- were you per chance seeing your webapp starting up twice? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
