Similar to how you can specify an mycontext.xml in conf/Catalina/localhost to specify the context without having to modify prepackaged WAR files, can you so something like place files in context-specific folders (i.e. conf/Catalina/localhost/mycontext/resource1.properties) that would be accessible from the classpath of the web app?
If it doesn't exist, would it be a good feature request? It would accomplish multiple things: - Wouldn't expose the classpath resources to more web applications than intended (which would be the case if you put it in CATALINA_HOME/lib). - Would allow deployers to not have to modify the web.xml and place the classpath resource in WEB-INF/classes or WEB-INF/lib. - Would prevent developers from having to code using absolute filenames. First of all, is a feature similar to what I'm suggesting available in Tomcat? If not, what do you think of such a feature request?
