Question about context.xml

Hello,
 
I'm sure this question has been posted in the past already, but when 
searching for "Tomcat 6 context.xml" (or similar) I didn't find anything 
which described my question.

My question is about the several possibility to declare <context> 
elements for configuring JNDI resources in Tomcat 6 configuration.
In Tomcat 6 documentation 
(http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html#conte
xt.xml%20configuration) there are described to ways to configure JNDI 
resources for a webapp:
* in $CATALINA_BASE$/conf/server.xml
* in META-INF/context.xml for each webapp

AFAIK there is an additional possibilities two configure JNDI resources:
* in $CATALINA_BASE$/conf/Catalina/localhost/<name-of-web-app>.xml
Is that correct?

And why is there a context.xml in $CATALINA_BASE/conf and what is it 
for? Would be happy if someone could help me out with this.

Best regards,

Abid

Read the <Context> (not <context> - case matters) doc first, then search:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html

Read the above doc reference.

Yes.

It's the default context definition for the server.
