If you are using a WAR file, put your entire Context block into a file called (your-webapp).xml and stick it in META-INF. Whatever is legal in a Context block in server.xml is also legal there. Then you can deploy the WAR file using the manager app froma remote system.
The admin and manager apps themselves do the same thing, check out admin.xml etc in the default distribution.

John,
I can easily deploy a basic app using the manager. But when it comes to deploying something that needs additional "Context" information I come un-stuck.
I basically have an app that I want to connect to an AS/400 database using connection pooling.
The only way I can get it to work is to manually insert the entries in the server XML file and then re-start.
Any other pointer greatly appreciated.
Regards
Kevin

There are a number of ways.
If autoDeploy = "true" then you can just drop the WAR file in the Host's appBase directory.
You can also use the manager app's various tasks (install, deploy, etc):

This is easily accomplished with ant.

I have normally stopped the server - edited the server XML file, put my
war
file in the webapps folder and re-started tomcat.
Using the manager app - is there a way I can do this 1)from a remote
system
and 2)without manually editing the server XML file.
I've have tried putting the jndi info using the admin console but I keep getting NULL driver exceptions.
Thanks
