I wouldn't recommend putting your application specific stuff in the server.xml file for Tomcat.
A better approach would be to create a context.xml file and place it in the META-INF of your war file. When you do it this way, any changes to the context.xml file are done immediately when you redeploy the war file. Have a look here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html "For Tomcat 5, unlike Tomcat 4.x, it is NOT recommended to place <Context> elements directly in the server.xml file. This is because it makes modifing the Context configuration more invasive since the main conf/server.xml file cannot be reloaded without restarting Tomcat."

Before inserting, I have to check whether path="/Server/Service/Engine/Host/conte...@path='/doceng'] exists or not. If exists then dont insert otherwise insert. I was looking into "if" subtask but could not able to find any examples. Please find my code below and would appreciate your help. <target name="deploy_local"> <echo message="(INFO): Please ensure that server is down, while deploying to localhost"/> <xmltask source="${tomcat.home}/conf/server.xml" dest="${tomcat.home}/conf/server.xml"> <insert path="/Server/Service/Engine/Host/text()[1]" position="before"> <![CDATA[ <Context path="/doceng" reloadable="true" docBase="${docBase}"> <Resource name="jdbc/docengdb" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="${driverclassName}" url="${dburl}" username="${dbusername}" password="${dbpassword}" maxActive="${maxactive}" maxIdle="${maxidle}" maxWait="${maxwait}"/> </Context> ]]> </insert> </xmltask> </target> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
