As you have discovered, and we have discussed _many_ times on this mailing list, the path and docBase attributes are not allowed when the <Context> element is in META-INF/context.xml. If you're lucky, they'll be ignored, but they can easily cause problems. > <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="false" > autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="true" xmlValidation="false" > xmlNamespaceAware="false"> You want autoDeploy set to "true" to get Tomcat to recognize on-the-fly updates. Forget about using the manager app for deployment - it uses the defaults built into Tomcat, and you're not going to be able to subvert them. I think the only way you're going to be able to accomplish what you want is to keep your webapp outside of the appBase directory, put your <Context> element in conf/Catalina/[host]/site.xml, and have its docBase attribute point to the location of your webapp. (This is the only instance in which a docBase attribute has purpose.) Write a script that copies the updated webapp (.war or directory) to its production location and then reloads the application. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
