Duplicate configuration file

[Vy Ho <st...@drexel.edu>]

Please tell me if this is a bug in Tomcat.
I just ran into this problem.  It would help someone running into a same 
issue.

I deploy a webapp with datasource configured through ROOT.xml (inside 
conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml).  The data source was not found when I 
run the webapp.  So, I check the admin, and the database source is there 
under "/".  The error was that the connection fail because of the driver 
class '' and the url string null.  After awhile, I found out that there 
is another file under conf/Catalina/localhost named .xml.  So this one 
override the another.  The problem is that admin picks up the ROOT.xml, 
while the engine picks up .xml. I am not sure what the spec says about 
this, but this seems really fishy.
