Illegal in that predictable behavior cannot be guaranteed. Tomcat is pretty good about ignoring invalid attributes, but it's not perfect in that regard, and problems may result. > I have a <context> defined in my server.xml's <host> for the > deployments being hosted outside of $CATALINA_HOME/webapps > directory That isn't illegal, but is extremely bad practice, since you can't modify them without restarting Tomcat. By placing the <Context> elements in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml, you can modify them as needed while Tomcat is running. > each of those has their own context.xml defined in the META-INF > directory of the project.
