Hello,

I'm facing an issue with tomcat 6. In order to setup a JDNI, we added a
context.xml file to our application (XWiki) in the already-deployed
folder webapps/xwiki/META-INF/ and configured the existing
webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/web.xml accordingly.

update of web.xml triggered the app reload which is expected.

At this point I wanted to adjust the database configuration, ie by
modifying webapps/xwiki/META-INF/context.xml. When I do this the changes
are not taken into account because the file Catalina/localhost/xwiki.xml
is not overwritten by Tomcat.

The solution that came into my mind has been to force Tomcat to update
the file bt deleting Catalina/localhost/xwiki.xml - which has indeed
make Tomcat undeploy and deploy the app again.

Here are my questions:
1) As there is no war file involved, what does "undeploy" and "deploy"
means ? What is being done exactly ?

2) Why is the file webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/web.xml is missing, after I
remove xwiki.xml and the app is redeployed ? (no web.xml = no deployment
so at the moment I have to manually restore a backup of this file)

Thanks !
