Setting up context.xml for an application

[Tim Dean <ti...@earthlink.net>]

I have an application that requires some settings in a <Context>  
configuration element. For a variety of reasons, I do not want to  
include the context.xml in my app's META-INF path within the WAR file.  
Based on the Tomcat 6 documentation, it seems like I should be able to  
define a $TOMCAT_HOME/Catalina/localhost/MyApp.xml file for the  
application with a context root of /MyApp. That's what I've been  
trying to do.

The problem is that the file gets deleted every time a redeploy a new  
MyApp.war file to the webapps folder. Perhaps this would stop  
happening if I disable auto-deployment, but I really want to keep auto- 
deployment on while I'm deploying frequently.

Is there something I'm missing? Is there a way to define app-specific  
context that does not get deleted every time I redeploy the app?

Thanks

- Tim

I war file gets unziped into to webapp directory so during the redeploy
i would not try to deploy whole war but just copy changes into the your
application directory.

Don't think so.

Why don't you modify your deployment script to copy the .xml file over along with the .war?
