Here is what I tried.
CATALINA_HOME=/opt/narahari/paas/apache-tomcat-7.0.37
CATALINA_BASE=/opt/narahari/paas/adp-tomcat
In the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/ptl#cts.xml file the entry is
<Context docBase="/opt/narahari/paas/webapps/ptl#cts.war"
antiResourceLocking="false" />
=====================
The contents of /opt/narahari/paas/webapps folder is
virtual@cdl-pid-p1-01:/opt/narahari/paas/webapps> ls
ptl#cts.war
===================
Now I start tomcat and I go check the logs to see if the ptl#cts.war got
deployed and I see the following
22:18:34,426 INFO [ConfigServlet] com.alp.rev.config.ConfigServlet.init():

So as you can see I have the war file in the right
location(/opt/narahari/paas/webapps) and is pointed to in the
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/ptl#cts.xml
However I dont see the war initializing correctly. It is trying to find
the faces-config.xml file which does not seem to be found. (yes it is a
part of the war file and exists under WEB-INF)
So it looks like app running out of the war file directly is not working
correctly. I am not sure why but I would want your expert advice.
