Dear List,

I'm a newbie to Apache and Tomcat, so pls forgive my ignorance.
I have the following problem/question:

I have a web application which needs to be configured with site-specific information when/after it is deployed.
What is the best/proper way of doing this?

Right now I use an install programm (install4j) which collects the info from the user, puts it in the proper places (web.xml, context.xml) and then does the deployment "manually". But this has 2 major drawbacks:

  1. if auto-deployment is enabled in server.xml the server interferes
     with my "manual" deployment
  2. if auto-deployment is disabled I have to restart Tomcat for the
     web app to become known/available.

Any ideas, suggestions are welcome.

Thomas

PS: I'm using Apache Tomcat 6.0.26 and Java 1.6.0_20-b02 (on Windows 2003)
