IIRC, JBoss used to use Tomcat as its servlet container. Maybe that's no
longer the case.

JBoss counts as FOSS, right?

You can't. That's one of the prices you pay for playing outside the
rules. I don't believe you can, for instance, use the manager app to
deploy a WAR along with a separate context.xml file.

You have to do it entirely yourself. You'll have to check, but it's
possible that Tomcat won't even do auto-redeploy if you update the WAR.
There's been a long thread about the (separate) context.xml file being
deleted during auto-deploy of outside WAR files (if I understand the
thread, which I'm not really following). You might want to read through
that for more information.

Nope. I've been off Oracle since they stopped shipping the JDBC driver
as a ZIP file ;)
