Environment setting and autodeploy problem

Hi!

Using Tomcat 5.5 with environment setting in context (in server.xml) the 
auto(live)deploy doesn't work anymore (noting happens when touching the war 
in webapps). If I remove the context from the host tag in server.xml it works 
again.

<Host  appBase="webapps"
          name="localhost"
	  unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

        <Context
            path="/ideskweb">
          <Environment
            description=""
            name="dburl"
            type="java.lang.String"
            value="jdbc:postgresql://xxx:5433/test"/>
        </Context>

</Host>

Is there a solution for using environment settings with autodeploy?

Thanks in advance,
Balázs

Hi!

I used the Tomcat Administrator to define the environment setting. Admin saved 
the entry to the server.xml. You can see it in the docs at 
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html#Environment%20Entries

Otherwise it works fine, but I can't use the autodeploy feature.

Thanks,
Balázs

You should /not/ have a <Context> in server.xml. Instead, use a
META-INF/context.xml file in your WAR file (if you use WAR files) or in
your webapp's deployment directory.

What is <Environment>? It does not appear to be a valid "nested
component" according to the documentation for your version:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html#Nested%20Components

Are you looking for "Context Parameters"?
