That's not a bad idea really, but before I feel qualified to make such a proposal I first need to understand it myself ;) > mg>i interpret this as <Context><Resource> parameter is mandatory Hmmm, now you're talking. IF those attributes on <Context><Resource> are mandatory, then what on earth is the use of resource-ref? Does Tomcat even look at that element? I guess so, but if resource-ref is completely optional and contains no new information in no possible use-cases, then you could just as well be instructed to put a file called "nobody-reads-this.txt" in your root and enter those values there in free-format, couldn't you? There has to be some use of that resource-ref element. All the Tomcat examples and tutorials instruct you to create this element. Someone really badly wants you to use it, yet it seemingly has not function whatsoever. Something just doesn't add up, or maybe it's just me... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
