Probably, because Tomcat does not require that. You may place the <Context> element in either location, but Tomcat *may* copy the one from META-INF/context.xml to conf/Catalina/[host] so it can access it directly. Proper undeployment will remove the copy. If you're doing a brute force replacement of a .war rather than a real undeployment, you deserve what you get. You have the option of placing the webapp's <Context> element in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml so that you can override the one packaged in the .war file - often necessary with prepackaged apps that might require special configuration for a particular site. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
