Unfortunately, several of the examples in the doc have not kept up with recommended practice for current versions of Tomcat. Placing the <Context> element in server.xml requires restarting Tomcat if any changes are required, which is why it's strongly discouraged these days. The <Context> element should be defined in META-INF/context.xml within the webapp structure; alternatively, it can be placed in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml if desired; the latter location will override the one in META-INF if both are present. The URI path is automatically determined by the name of the app's .war file. Look here for details: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html I wouldn't expect the presence of the <Context> element in server.xml to prevent redeployment, but you never can tell... - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
