In an issue related to this and the documentation cited below, my attempts to create a Context in the META-INF/context.xml were not successful, that is, I could create the context.xml file but the attributes did not seem to take affect. I could set them in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory and it would work. As an example, if I defined the attributes antiJARLocking=true and antiResourceLocking=true in the application's META-INF/context.xml file, I would still have jar and resource locking issues. When I defined the same attributes in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname] directory, jar and resource locking was not an issue.

I'd suggest that a careful reading of: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html is in order. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
