http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39444 Summary: autocreate a Context Descriptor for webApps without META-INF/context.xml Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.17 Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I read in the documentation in chapter "A word on Contexts" the text below. If I put a war-file (which doesn't contain a META-INF/context.xml) into the webapps-dir, the war-file is extracted and the webApp deployed, e.g. on startup. But afterwards the Context Descriptor isn't autogenerated and placed in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ as expected. As a result my webApp is deployed every startup again. ---- Context Descriptors not only help Tomcat to know how to configure Contexts but other tools such as the Tomcat Manager and TDC often use these Context Descriptors to perform their roles properly. The locations for Context Descriptors are; 1. $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/context.xml 2. $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/[webappname]/META-INF/context.xml If a Context Descriptor is not provided for a Context, Tomcat automatically creates one and places it in (1) with a filename of [webappname].xml although if manually created, the filename need not match the web application name as Tomcat is concerned only with the Context configuration contained within the Context Descriptor file(s). ---- -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
