http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30875 Dynamic processing by Catalina of webapp's context.xml fails using ./bin/startup.sh Summary: Dynamic processing by Catalina of webapp's context.xml fails using ./bin/startup.sh Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.0.27 Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: MacOS X Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] According to the documentation, the proper way to create application context is by including a file named "context.xml" in the META-INF directory of a webapp. It appears that Tomcat 5.0.27 only recognizes such a context file when the war is deployed using the Manager tool's "DEPLOY" feature. When "DEPLOY" is used, Catalina properly recognizes the context and dynamically creates $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/<appname>.xml If Tomcat is started with the same war file in the webapps dir, the context file is not found and a _directory_ is created at $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/<appname>.xml. This bug is _related_ but not identical to BUG #29688. Use Case to create bug -------------------------- 1. Stop Tomcat using $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh. 2. Make sure $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/<webapp>.xml is deleted. 3. Clear all references to the webapp $CATALINA_HOME/webapps by deleting the dir <appname> and the file <appname>.war 3. Clear all the logs in $CATALINA_HOME/logs 4. Place the webapp's WAR file in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps. The webapp war has the following basic structure: <appname>.war index.jsp /META-INF context.xml /WEB-INF web.xml /lib /classes 5. Start Tomcat by running $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh 6.
