However, I would like this to happen automatically. What do you want to happen automatically? Once the application and the lcs.xml file are in place, the next deployment should consist only of copying the new version on top of the old one - the <Context> element in Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml need not change. > I read that if I place the context fragment in my applications > META-INF/context.xml file, then this should happen automatically. Still don't know what you want to happen. The META-INF/context.xml location for the webapp's <Context> element is useful only when the webapp is located in the <Host> appBase directory. Note that the docBase attribute is illegal when the <Context> element is in META-INF/context.xml. > However, despite doing this, the application is still always deployed > to C:\program files\Tomcat\webapps\lcs instead of C:\lcs. So fix your script to copy the webapp to the desired location. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
