It should be explicitly overriden if an outside context.xml (e.g., the first one you pasted above) is used to configure and deploy the webapp. > > src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml > <param-name>filemgr.url</param-name> > <param-value>http://localhost:9000</param-value> This is the internal web.xml descriptor property file. If there are no context.xml files present (a hard case to achieve given 1 and 2), these properties are the canon and used in the configuration of the system. I regularly ignore this file. > > All that and the CASProductHandler.java file references: > this.fm = new XmlRpcFileManagerClient(new URL(System.getProperty( > "fm.url", "http://localhost:9000";))); Yep, the way I set it always is via option 1, the external Tomcat cas-product--tomcat-5.5.9.xml file. Steps: 1. cp fmprod/src/main/resources/cas-product-tomcat-5-5-9.xml /path/to/prodserver/home/fmprod.xml 2. edit fmprod.xml and change path to WAR file and configuration properties 3. cp fmprod/target/cas-product-0.3-SNAPSHOT.war /path/to/prodserver/home/ 4. ln -s /path/to/prodserver/home/fmprod.xml $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/fmprod.xml 5. fire up Tomcat HTH!
