Oh, Thanks a lot, I would have never guessed that it is a bug in tomcat. But I would like to ask a follow up question.
If I change the testprojekt.xml in conf/Catalina/localhost/testprojekt.xml my webapplication will be redeployed (assuming the bug is fixed), and it would get the new values. If I change the conf/context.xml all my webapps will be RELOADED, but new values and changes to values in conf/context.xml will not be given to the webapp. I am using the tomcat connection pooling to connect to a postgres DB, I would like to put the configuration (hostname, username, etc) somewhere, so that i can change it, when I change the databasehost. Where is the right place to put such a configuration? If i put the configuration in conf/context.xml the changes to the values wont be given to running applications. If i put it in the conf/Catalina/.... the application will be redeployed, which causes downtimes. What is the right place to PUT and later change the connection infos to the database? Thank you again for your help.
