Hi Yuval,
Use as reference the doc for context.xml configuration:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/context.html
IMO, this is where the context configuration for the WebApp should be
use, as for example Resources like database.
There are 2 interesting elements you can use in a context.xml and pass
to your WebApp:
<Parameter>
<Environment>
I'm no experienced with that configuration elements, but I would start
using them. They have different usage purpose.
The context.xml, is not part of the *webapp* itself, but it's part of
the application deployment made by the *server*, and therefore if you
are putting sensible information that won't share you can use
.properties method.
Regards
Antonio

Hello Antonio,
That worked. Thanks.
I added to catalina.properties file.
If I have other API keys and such that I would like to store, should I also
store them there, or does it make more sense to simply create a separate
properties file (since they aren't related to Tomcat)?
Thank you.

Yuval,
Please take alook atthe second paragraph at Tomcat config doc's:
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/
|You can put your properties on the
|
|$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.properties|
and you can do the variable sustitution in yor configuration file usin
${PropertyName}
for example
<Resource name="jdbc/TestDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
username="${MyAPP.DBUserName}"
password="${MyApp.DBPassword}" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/javatest"/>
instead of using the properties file you can add to the JAVA_OPS or
CATALINA_OPTS enviroment variables
For example in a bash shell
$ export JAVA_OPTS="-DMyAPP.DBUserName=admin -DMyAPP.DBPassword=secret"
You should be condidere that the properties passed to tomcat are dumped
(at least) to the $CATALINA_BAS/logs/catalina.out

Hello,
I would like to store credentials that go into the Resource element of my
connection pool, in a properties file. (This is so I can untrack my
properties file when committing to a repo).
How would I go about accessing this properties file in my
META-INF/context.xml file?
What is the best location for this properties file?
Thank you.
