The way to have identifiable WARs is to use the version element of the filename. For example, server##1.0.15.war will be auto-deployed with a context path of /server. The version tag can be pretty much anything you like as long as the file name is valid. You don't have to be using parallel deployment to make use of it. > We have reviewed the docs and the only approach that has worked for > us is adding a separate Context element to the > <Tomcat>/conf/Server.xml file. It is server.xml. Again, case matters.
