Bug ID: 56937
Summary: Allow default context to be used when deployXML=false
and context.xml is in WAR
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: 7.0.50
Hardware: PC
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: owen.farr...@gmail.com
With the changes in r1545288, any application that comes packaged with a
context.xml deployment descriptor requires a context-specific deployment
descriptor be present. While I understand the desire to improve security, it
still seems practical to inherit the default context.
Most IDEs that integrate with Tomcat will automatically generate an empty
context.xml. Some applications (like Artifactory) come with a minimalist
version.
Is there any way to account for both scenarios? Maybe adding a new host
attribute that allows the default context to be used. Or maybe the HostConfig
implementation could be improved so that only security-specific elements are
accounted for.
