More clues: We got it to work if you put
<Context path="" docBase="webapps/<our unpacked war file dir>" in the top-level server.xml file. It does NOT work if you put this context fragment in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost the documentation on auto-deployment is frustrating in a couple of points. My working hypothesis is that Catalina finds and parses the XML context fragment correctly, but then, when encountering the war file (or expanded directory) containing WEB-INF/web.xml it generates a new context automatically. The docs are vague on this, offering a warning that explicit contexts don't play well with autodeployed apps. Can anyone offer some insights into this? Is this the intended behavior?
