Context File is Created As A Directory
Hi Guys,
I am having difficulty with deploying an application using Tomcat 5.0 .
I am deploying a <application name>.war file that contains a context.xml
file in the META-INF directory.
Before starting the Tomcat server I
remove the unpacked directory from tomcat/webapps
remove the <application name>.xml from tomcat/conf/Cataline/localhost
The problem I am experiencing is this.
The <application name>.xml 'file' that is created in the
tomcat/conf/Cataline/localhost directory is not being created properly.
The <application name>.xml is created as an empty directory within
tomcat/conf/Cataline/localhost. It is not creating a file. I am
expecting a <application name>.xml that contains the contents of my
META-INF/context.xml file stored in my .war file.
I have spoken with a colleague who said he too had experienced a similar
problem but was unable to resolve. I am more determined than he, but
admit to struggling with this.
Before listing any further configuration issues has anyone seen this
behaviour? (I have looked in vain on Google/Groups).
Many thanks
Richard

I have never seen or heard of this issue but if 5.0.28 works, why not
use it?

For all those who are interested, and I cannot believe that no-one else
has experienced this, there appears to be a bug in Tomcat 5.0.27 that
ALWAYS creates the context.xml snippet from the META-INF directory as a
directory rather than a file.
I have run many tests on this over the past week with 5.0.19 and 5.0.28
and they work fine!!
