Title: RE: contextAdmin question

Ok. I need to create a war-file? But that can't be all. I must somehow tell tomcat to read that war-file also. How/where do I do that? (Ok, this answer could probably be found in a doc somewhere, but I'm quite lazy.. ;).

if a war file is in the webapps directory, the context will be build upon starting tomcat automatically, assuming the AutoStart interceptor has been disabled.  The <context> section in server.xml is to hardcode certain parameters such as reloadable, crosscontext etc.

the war gets expanded into a dir of the same name upon startup as the context gets initiated at startup.

You mean to say that..if i create a new one like
below..

<Context path="/admin"
                 docBase="webapps/admin"
                 crossContext="true"
                 debug="0"
                 reloadable="true"
                 trusted="false" >
        </Context>

it is not persistent? It disappears after
restart/restop?
