okay. some definite results. 5.5.17 solaris 9 29 > java -version java version "1.5.0_07" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_07-b03, mixed mode, sharing)
this does not make a yourapp.xml file. it further forgets all contexts added via the web interface when tomcat is restarted. 5.0.28 same for all the rest. does ***NOT*** forget contexts. the .xml file persists and the context appears when expanded under catalina-localhost on the web page. based on the above, i would say it's a bug at the 5.5.17 release, but remember i'm completely unschooled in java (almost). j.
