How to prevent deletion of comments from tomcat-users.xml

As far as I noticed all comments in tomcat-users.xml

are striped off after Tomcat started.

How do I prevent this deletion of comments (permanently)?

In server.xml, add readonly="true" to the UserDatabase <Resource>, for
example:

<Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
          type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
          description="User database that can be updated and saved"
          factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
          pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml"
          readonly="true" />

Other than by making the file read-only, you can't.
