Tomcat 5.5 server.xml populating a context section by itself

[Eddie Yee <ed...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,
 
I'm running Tomcat 5.5.25 on Solaris, and we are using a lot of environment entries in our applications.  I have the environment entry specified in the conf/server.xml and also declared in the conf/context.xml.    One thing I noticed is that our server.xml continually populates it's own context section for each application, even if I have it specified globally in the conf/context.xml.   
 
This population of the context for our app in the server.xml is preventing us from undeploying our application hence requiring a restart every time we need to deploy.
 
I know our developers are putting the environment resource list in their app under WEB-INF/web.xml    Is there something else we need to do to prevent the server.xml from populating it's own context section per app?
 
Thanks,
Eddie

Could you expand on "server.xml continually populates it's own context
section for each application". I am not sure what you mean by this.

If you mean that every context is automatically added to server.xml then
that might be a side-effect of using the admin application.
