Howdy,
I have a question about the format of context.xml. Tomcat 5documentation:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/context.html
says that the docBase attribute is required (as it's bolded). Is this
really correct? I was able to deploy an application through the manager
application with context.xml that did not contain docBase. I don't want
to put an absolute path to the application to context.xml, as
context.xml is stored in CVS. This looks to me as a documentation bug,
isn't it?
Look in your $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[engine name]/[host name] directory. Do you see the XML file for your context, and if so does it have a docBase?

Hi Yoav,
I think you meant $CATALINA_BASE/...., correct? No, this file does not have the docBase attribute. Nevertheless, deploying using
http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?config=file:/path/webapp/META-INF/context.xml&war=file:/path/webapp/
seems to work even without the docBase attribute, at least on the surface. So, is this scenario supported, or should I be doing things differently?
Or, let me phrase my question differently. Here is my situation:
1. I put context.xml inside webapp/META-INF.
2. 'webapp' location not relative to Tomcat directory.
3. I don't want to put an absolute path to the docBase attribute in context.xml, as this file is versioned.
How can I now deploy this application using the manager, so it runs in place from the 'webapp' directory? I don't want to package it or copy it to a different location, just run it from there. What variant of the manager deploy command should I use?
Thanks Petr
