Sorry for the late reply, Rainer. There is, in principle. Set deployXML to false in the Host declaration in your server.xml and it will do exactly what you want. On the flip side, tomcat will remove the configuration when the app is undeployed, so you need a little care in your deployment process.

A an aside, wouldn't it be nice if it were configurable whether tomcat copies the context.xml to $CATALINA_BASE/conf? Then administrators could decide to never have local configuration and always rely on the config within the war? > Mark Rainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
