Don't do that - very strongly discouraged to have any webapp-specific information in server.xml. The <Context> elements should be in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml, since you likely don't want them in each webapp's META-INF/context.xml file. > but if a student modifies the web.xml file in their application > I have to restart the sever before it takes effect. The global conf/context.xml file should have a <WatchedResource> element for WEB-INF/web.xml; Tomcat should automatically restart the webapp unless you've removed that or disabled deployOnStartup in the <Host> element. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
