You need to look at the attributes provided for the install task...
<target name="catalina-install" depends="compile,manager.init"
description="Install application to servlet container" >
<catalina-install
url="${manager.url}"
username="${manager.username}"
password="${manager.password}"
config="${app.ccf}"
path="${app.path}" />
</target>Notice the "config" attribute. At build time, that resolves to a file:/// URL pointing to where the context configuration file is.
Now look at the deploy task...
<target name="catalina-deploy" depends="war,manager.init" description="Deploy web-app war" > <echo message="${app.war}"/> <catalina-deploy url="${manager.url}" username="${manager.username}" password="${manager.password}" path="${app.path}" war="${app.war}" /> </target>
There is no "config" attribute. You might argue that there should be one. File a bug on that if you think so. However, the fact is, there isn't one now and the current mechanism here is the META-INF/context.xml file that Tomcat looks for.

p.s. if I do
ant undeploy ant install -> context info gets lost ant remove ant deploy -> context info is here again! ==> so with deploy the context is ok, with install not.

*) wouldn't it make sense to read the context.xml for ant install out of the same directory as ant deploy? (e.g. /build/META-INF/context.xml)
