That definitely makes a difference although I must confess I don't fully understand why, suffice to say when I tried copying a WAR to webapps/ that didn't work for me either. I use the Ant deploy task and it works a treat. Not sure quite what the approach would be to make this work if you want to drop your WAR file in by hand as you are...anyone?

Re: cross-context DataSource?
context.xml in META-INF only applies to deploying a webapp via the Ant manager taskdef deploy task. If the .war is not getting copied to a directory of the same name as the .war file (less the .war extension), that means you have a Context ... entry defined somewhere either in server.xml or in a context configuration file in the webapps directory. Actually, it is entirely possible that Tomcat is looking at META-INF/context.xml even for the case of just copying the .war into the webapps directory. I guess I never tried that. Either way, if you define a Context ... for your app, the .war will *not* be expanded to a directory structure. Don't define a Context ... entry and it *will* get deployed to a directory structure by default.
