Okay, lets try this variant of my original post..
I've started using JNDI under 5.0.19 and when I deploy to my remote server(using /Manager) I need to change the data sources url connect string(f/test DB to prod DB). Does everyone use Ant while building the WAR to filter/whatever this url? How do you make changes to the context.xml?
Thanks in advance, JW

My current upgrade procedures are to shutdown tomcat 3.x, move the current version of my webapp directory somewhere else, recreate the /webapp directory, then un-jar the war file created by NetBeans. After doing this I then have to modify the WEB-INF/app.config file with customer-specific information. The code is identical, just configuration items change. If the customer has changed their app.config then I have to roll those changes into the new app.config file. Also, I have to copy the log files out of the old version into the new versions' /logs directory and modify the stock log4j.properties to point to their desired directory. Also, I can't always have access to the server to do this so I've written a procedure to explain this to another.
Is there a way to store customer configuration info(app.config, log4j.properties) outside of the app and have the app still know how to find it?
There must be a better way - nothing in the Tomcat Application Developers Guide that covers this.
Thanks in advance,
JW
