I hope the above is a typo, because if it's really in "contex.xml" Tomcat won't look at it. > But this doesn't seem to work. It works fine for me; I put the <Context> element in one location or the other, not both. Note that Tomcat will sometimes copy the one from META-INF/context.xml into conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml during a deployment, and that's likely what you're seeing. > Plus, it just seems idiotic to need to declare the context > and its resources in two locations. Never had to do that. Suggest that you stop Tomcat, remove the one in conf/Catalina/[host], clean out the work directory for the webapp, clean out the expanded webapp so all you have left is the .war file, and restart Tomcat. You will likely see the one in conf/Catalina/[host] recreated from the META-INF/context.xml, since Tomcat wants to be able to read the file directly. A real undeployment of the webapp should delete the one in conf/Catalina/[host]; if you're updating the .war without doing an undeployment first, you're breaking the rules, and all bets are off. > Does either of these files need a 'docBase' or 'path' parameter?

You may not use path or docBase in either location; if you're lucky, they'll just be ignored - don't chance it. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
