Thank you for replying. If the context.xml file is being ignored then why the variable that I have defined in the server.xml is not being read? Should I delete the META-INF/context.xml file completely?

The <Context> element can be defined only once. You choose to define it in server.xml and thus context.xml file is ignored. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer The information in this email and any attachments may contain proprietary and confidential information that is intended for the addressee(s) only.
