No. context.xml files are deployed via the auto-deploy process so they need deployOnStartup or autoDeploy to be true. When I wrote "*only* those defined in server.xml" that is exactly what I meant. >> That is plain wrong. autoDeployment /deployOnStartup do play a role in >> double-deployment but only when your configuration is wrong to start > with. > > Well, I guess I'll just have to be careful with my configuration :) > (seriously, unless I missed it in the documentation it wasn't clear on > double-deployment as a consequence of bad config.) Explicit definition in server.xml + autoDeploy == double deployment. I'll add a few words to the docs to try and clarify that.
