override context defined in server.xml doesn't work !?!

[Joe Lam <jo...@moni-media.net>]

the tomcat is v5.5

I'm trying to override the <Context> in server.xml (coz cpanel creates a
default "blank" context for new vhost in server.xml, and we shouldn't edit
the server.xml coz cpanel will update it whenever it wants)

I created "conf/Catalina/serverName/ROOT.xml" with <Context override="true">
but it doesn't work.
the ROOT.xml should be fine. because when I remove the new vhost's <Context>
in server.xml. it works.

I wonder how does the "override=true" works ???

Please help. thanks 

Joe

AFAIK, you can't override <Context> elements in server.xml.  You need to complain bitterly to cPanel, since what they're doing is specifically discouraged in the Tomcat doc; it's truly inappropriate behavior to do that to any reasonably modern version of Tomcat.

The override attribute only affects attributes specified in the global conf/context.xml or conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/context.xml.default; the former is shared by all webapps, the latter by all webapps of the given <Host>.
