André ++; Can we put a note in there saying that if a different version of Java is installed and the old one is removed, the registry entries are no longer valid and need to be refreshed by running Tomcat[#]w.exe to reference the new Java? Note that the JVM location is also stored in the Windows Registry by Tomcat[#]w.exe (prunmgr) and is referenced by the service wrapper (prunsrv). This means that if the Java location changes, such as removing an older JVM and installing a newer version, the Registry entries will no longer be valid, and the Tomcat service will no longer run. Running Tomcat[#]w.exe and updating the JVM location on the Java tab or selecting the "Use default" checkbox can remedy that. "One more thing [...]" Wait a minute. Could it simply be that the "Use default" checkbox (for JVM) on the Java tab was unchecked for me? Argh. Cris --; -- Cris Berneburg CACI Lead Software Engineer
RE: Default context.xml with parallel deployment
I tried my best with this solution. Actually, using external entities for an XML attribute is not supported with an external file, so the solution in the FAQ does not seem good. I get a strange error when I do a SYSTEM reference to an external XML file, the webapp can not start. I get for my jdbc datasource : IntrospectionUtils: Assert: Illegal params null ContextResource[name=jdbc/... So I'm afraid I can't use this solution...

There isn't an explicit Tomcat feature that would do this. Could you do something with XML entities? There is a description of them here: https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Password in the context of moving passwords to an external file. Could you create myapplication.txt and then ship each app with a simple context.xml file that included the above file?

RE: Default context.xml with parallel deployment
Hi Guido, Thank you very much for your answer. Our context xml file contains and elements Can you give me more details about what you mean by seamlink ? We want toovoid having to create a new file in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ everytime we deploy a war with a new version of the application.
