(Just expanding a little on what Mark gave you.) > Why recommend the use of the context.xml if it really isn't used? It is used - Tomcat copied the context.xml file from your webapp's META-INF directory to conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml during expansion of the .war file. Your particular <Context> element has no useful content, however. > I always had the impression the name of file was used > as a default case when a more specific context.xml > wasn't present. No, the path attribute is used only when the <Context> element is in server.xml, which is strongly discouraged. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
