Hi, It is really strange, most of the time tomcat seems to just ignore these context files I put. But if I change the alias path to a directory which doesn't exist and then make a change in another context file, tomcat tries to reload the second file and the first one and then complains about invalid directory in alias. I fix the directory path, again change the other context file to trigger a reload (not triggered by changing the one with the aliases attribute), tomcat reloads the second file and then just continues to ignore the aliases from the first file. I must be missing some other configuration somewhere.. does anyone know what is it?
