Insufficient, as Chuck has pointed out: use the manager app.
Does that, basically, mean that the static deployment method is
deprecated?
I'm getting this feeling, too. "Static deployment" does not seem to
handle META-INF/context.xml - and that looks broken.
Currently the documentation says:
If you are not interested in using the Tomcat Manager, or TCD, then
you'll need to deploy your web applications statically to Tomcat,
followed by a Tomcat startup.
See: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/deployer-howto.html
Reading this gives me the impression that I can use it. If I should
not use the static deployment mechanism, shouldn't this entry be
removed from the documentation?
It seems misleading indeed. Maybe the description of the "deployment
sequence" should amend this sentence:
| 1. Any Context Descriptors will be deployed first.
to include a warning like:
Achtung! This will only happen if there is no Context Descriptor
present at the target location.
