Re: Context Descriptors: which directory

[Ruth, Brice]

I believe if you put your context XML files in webapps, Tomcat will copy 
them to the Catalina directory, at which point it will consider *that* 
context file as the authoritative resource, so updates to your context 
XML in webapps won't be recognized.

Not entirely sure on this, but I've had some issues with not putting 
them in the proper place. The correct place really is the Catalina 
directory, as the docs say.

Hello.
I was using Tomcat 4 and I had my foo.xml file in 
$catalina_home/webapps/foo.xml.
This pointed Tomcat to a different directory where the application 
resided.
Now, in Tomcat 5 I see in the docs that I am supposed to be placing these
files in $catalina_home/conf/Catalina/localhost/foo.xml.

Do I HAVE to?  Can I configure Tomcat 5 to see them in the /webapps/ dir?
Or, is that a bad practice?
Just wondering.  Thanks a lot.
