context.xml not bound from WAR file

           Summary: context.xml not bound from WAR file
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.24
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: duffymo@yahoo.com


This isn't a bug, per se, but it is a wish.

I've successfully deployed a Web app that has a JDNI data source defined in its 
context.xml using the Ant <deploy> task.  The WAR file has context.xml in the 
meta-inf directory.

But when I deploy the app by putting the WAR file in the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps 
directory, the app fails because the JDNI data source isn't bound.

There's a workaround I found at O'Reilly:

However, it would be nice if the app could get the context.xml info if it finds 
it in the WAR file's meta-inf directory.  No steps required beyond dropping the 
WAR file into the webapps directory.  Thanks - MOD
