Hi all,
My problem is, that I'd like to configure a valve for only one deployed
application (deployed as a .war file)
Here are the ways I've already tried:
- Putting the <Context> element into server.xml. This works, however,
after doing this, the manager application won't let me redeploy the
application (gives an error message describing this).
- Putting the valve declaration into conf/context.xml. This also works,
however, this way the valve configured for all deployed applications,
which is not possible in my case (the valve is doing authentication
stuff, which I do not want to take effect for other apps, eg the manager
app)
- Putting the valve declaration into conf/Catalina/localhost/myapp.xml.
This also works fine, however this file is always deleted after
redeployment (as far as I know, this was introduced to tomcat 7, as
autoDeploy=false does not disable the deletion of context files). The
official solution to this, - according to the manual - is to put the
context.xml file into the .war file itself. However, the problem with
this, is that the context contains database connections, mail sessions,
etc. that are different for every environment where the .war file is
deployed. That's why I'd like to stick with an external way of
configuration.
Questions:
- Any idea how to have an external, application specific (that is,
non-shared) context file that is not deleted on redeployment in the manager?
- Or maybe deploy the app in a different way that retains the
app-specific context file?
- Any other solution to my problem in general?
I'm using Linux and Tomcat 7.0.37.
Kind regards,
Istvan
