Hi Joe, Thanks for you update. I eventually found that the problem wasn't Puppet at all. As it turned out, when a new WAR file is being deployed, Tomcat will overwrite the tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/ ROOT.xml configuration file with the META-INF/context.xml file. This is something that I was never aware of.
