Hi pid,
thanks for your answer. I have another question in the link you posted some
lines above there is written:
See Automatic Application Deployment for more information. This method
allows dynamic reconfiguration of the web application, since the main
conf/server.xml file cannot be reloaded without restarting Tomcat. Please
note that for tomcat 5, unlike tomcat 4.x, it is NOT recommended to place
<Context> elements directly in the server.xml file. Instead, put them in
the META-INF/context.xml directory of your WAR file or the conf directory as
described above.
I don't want to violate the recommandation of putting context tags into the
server.xml. Is there another way to tell tomcat to take the context.xml
attributes from the .war file? Maybe some reconfigurations on the tomcat
(not the default configuration...).
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Kind regards
Tom
Read the docs:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
Context path attribute: "The value of this field must not be set except
when statically defining a Context in server.xml, as it will be *infered
from the filenames* used for either the .xml context file or the docBase."
