Remy mentioned earlier today on another thread that the path is ignored in a context.xml file because it is redundant, but I _think_ he was talking about 5.5 rather than 5.0. I have deleted the post now but I think he said that the docBase is probably also ignored. search the archive to check me on that.
In any case on v5 I think it's OK for docBase to point to either the open filesystem or the war (given that once the war is unpacked, they both exist). Mine points to the war, but that's just my choice, it's not for any special reason. > -----Original Message----- > From: Nick Pellow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday 05 November 2004 15:39 > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: AW: META-INF/context.xml not overwriting > Catalina/localhost/webapp.xml after redeploy. > > > Hi Steve, > > > > >That file is only updated in certain circumstances. check that your > >circumstances fit those. here's a good place to start: > >http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/host.html#Au > >tomatic%2 > >0Application%20Deployment > > Ok.
