I pack different war files for several clients. They only differ in
context.xml and log4j.properties files. My packaging tool (Maven) take
care of this.
Context.xml file contains customer-specific settings (database
parameters, and application parameters) - check Resource, Realm and
Parameter tags. Parameter tag eliminates the need to make changes in
web.xml.
If I don't know some of the parameters (i.e. DB password), I leave that
field empty and instruct Tomcat administor to make changes in
context.xml inside archive before deployment.
I keep fine-grain settins in the database.
