I'm trying to convert my app to use the preferred catalina base and home deployment. I understand that this allows for easier migration between tomcat versions, etc. As a point of reference, I'm reading about how to do this in Tomcat: The Definitive Guide. Also, I'm dealing with 5.5.35, if that matters.
I have one question. I understand that the separation of the core tomcat stuff from my instance stuff is good. But the book says to copy the entire conf folder over to my instance folder ( CATALINA_BASE/myapp/conf ). Isn't this copying a bunch of tomcat version specific stuff that I'll have to sift through when it's time to migrate? Will I be able to just upgrade CATALINA_HOME and not upgrade all of that copied conf stuff as well? Thanks, Chad
