RE: where to place the /META-INF/context.xml file?

2005-09-09 Thread Allistair Crossley
Hi,

The META-INF/context.xml is one way in which a *web application context* can be 
configured, not Tomcat itself per se, although it is an instruction on behalf 
of the web application *to* Tomcat about what *it* needs Tomcat to setup for 
itself, e.g database pools, environment vars or whatever. 

Yes /MyWebApp/META-INF would be correct, as per the servlet spec for web 
application structure.

Allistair.

 Subject: where to place the /META-INF/context.xml file?
 
 
 Hi,
  
 Apologies, but this is a newbie question. In the tomcat docs, 
 it states that
  
 A /META-INF/context.xml file can be used to define Tomcat 
 specific configuration...
  
 Could you please tell me where /META-INF/context.xml should 
 be placed relative to the web application root? In other 
 words, if I have a web application in a directory /MyWebApp, 
 should the /META-INF  be at   /MyWebApp/META-INF or should it 
 be under /WEB-INF?
  
 Thanks.

MyWebApp/META-INF/context.xml


or inside your MyWebApp.war as:

META-INF/context.xml
