Thanks Chuck,
I just tested this by creating a context element in its own file under
conf/Catalina/localhost/jnditest.xml and that worked. (BTW, Tomcat 6
docs states that docBase is a valid attribute in this situation. It is
only illegal when the <Context/> element is defined within
META-INF/context.xml.):
<Context docBase="jndistring.war"
useNaming="true">
<Environment name="teststring"
value="a test value"
type="java.lang.String"
override="false"
/>
</Context>
I had chosen the server.xml approach because I wish to deploy some
applications as the default/ROOT, and I haven't had any success in
doing that using this approach (unless I named the application ROOT,
which is less than ideal). Others have raised a bug report against
this particular difficulty, and I recently contributed a comment, but
it was dealt with in an unhelpful manner:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41746
Well, that's for another question on this mailing list!
Would folks here, then, be inclined to believe that there is a bug in
using <Context/> within a server.xml file? - given that I'm using only
a slightly changed <Context/> configuration (the "path" attribute
being the only change). I'm hesitant to raise a bug for fear of being
flamed again!
Thanks,
Paul.
