Persistent Context Configuration
Hi,
I have a web application that I've deployed on three different virtual
hosts. Each virtual host requires different configuration data
(specifically, AWS credentials and options that the web application
uses to access AWS services). In the future, there may be many more
deployments, each with their own set of AWS credentials and options.
I've tried putting these options as parameters in
conf/Catalina/name/ROOT.xml files which works except that file is
deleted each time the web application is redeployed.
Where is the proper place to put virtual-host-specific configuration
options such that they can be easily read from within the web
application and persist across redeployments? I can't put them in the
WAR file directly because the same WAR file will be re-used by
multiple virtual-hosts, so I need something that I can put in
server.xml or something similar.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give. :)

That did the trick; thanks!

For virtual host-specific context configurations, place a
context.xml.default in:
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[engine-name]/[host-name]
See the following:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html
. . . just my two cents
