Tomcat 7 deployments context
Looking for deployment and configuration help.
Using Tomcat 7.0.56 I'm trying to deploy my applications (WAR) using the
context in the META-INF/context.xml, without luck.
I've been reading the documentation and can't find a way to do this, even
though the documentation says its possible.
What I'm getting as the context is the name of the WAR.
Is this possible to do? What files and what do I have to put inside of them?
Kind regards,
José

You need to take your META-INF/context.xml file and put it into
CATALINA_BASE/conf/[engine]/[host]/[appname].xml

It will deploy the applications in conf/.../[appname].xml as above.

Take your META-INF/context.xml file and copy it into
CATALINA_BASE/conf/[engine]/[host]/ws#test#application#2.3.xml
[engine] the name of your <Engine> in server.xml and it almost always
"Catalina". [host] is the name of the <Host> under which the context
should be deployed. If you are using a default configuration (which
seems like a good idea in general), this will be "localhost". So, put
your file into
CATALINA_BASE/conf/[engine]/[host]/ws#test#application#2.3.xml
Make sure that you:
1. Remove any "path" parameter from <Context>
2. Add a "docBase" to your ws#test#application#2.3.xml pointing to the WAR
2. Either keep autoDeploy="false" or move your WAR file out of
webapps/ and adjust the "docBase" in your deployment descriptor
accordingly, otherwise you'll get a double-deployment
Please read

Re: Tomcat 7 deployments context

Sorry for the but information or no information at all provided.
What I'm trying to achieve is that when deploying my app on tomcat, this
will take the context from the META-INF/context.xml and deploy it with that
path(context) that's different from the name of the war.
>From the documentation I get that disabling autoDeploy and deployOnStartup
should do the job, but with that configuration tomcat won't deploy anything
at all, not even the apps already deployed in the webapps directory.
Lets say my war filename is myapp.war but the context is
/ws/test/application/2.3/, Is it possible for tomcat to take that context
and deploy the app with that context? how?

What exactly have you set in your context.xml? What exactly does or does not happen?

To do what?

Which is precisely what you should get and the documentation clearly states that.

Is what possible to do?
You've provided essentially no information about what you're trying to do, what you've attempted, and what the results were. We're not mind readers.
