OK, I'm closing this item. In summary:
- For Tomcat 5.0.x, docBase is required. For some scenarios we could deduce
it, but that's extra work that's not always trivial and will not be that
portable to Tomcat 5.5.x.
- Use relative docBases whenever possible to make WAR files more transferable
across machines.
- Use the other usual mechanisms, e.g. Ant filter tokens, so that only one
version of the WAR file needs to be in source control.
- For Tomcat 5.5.x, the behavior of the deployer is sufficiently different that
this item MAY be reconsidered. Let's wait for 5.5.0, test it out, and if need
be discuss the item on the mailing list BEFORE re-opening this issue or another
one for 5.5.0.
Thanks ;)
