RE: Setting up container datasource w/ Maven

[Vincent Massol <vm...@pivolis.com>]

Hi Eric,

Tomcat Context files are now supported by the <tomcat4x> nested element
of the <cactus> task. If you're using Tomcat 5.x you can even put this
context.xml file in your META-INF/ directory of your war.

Thanks
-Vincent
