Yes, this particular case will work like that now, in order to simplify quite a bit the deployer (generating a trivial xml file to reference the context would work, but might not contain what you expect, which is why Tomcat copies your webappp). For now, I recommend giving a xml file to Tomcat if you want to point to an external context. -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx R�my Maucherat Developer & Consultant JBoss Group (Europe) S�RL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
