I think you missed my point ...
I want to make project that uses the catalina core, similar to how Tomcat is
a project that uses the catalina core. Meaning I want to use the catalina
stuff in my project to run servlets. My project is not a webapp that gets
put in the webapp dir as a war file, but is an application, like tomcat,
that runs webapps.
So just as
jakarta-tomcat
|
+--conf
|
+--webapps
I would like to setup something like
myproject
|
+--conf
| |
| +--catalina
| |
| +--myproject
|
+--webapps
This wouldn't violate the .war specification becasue it isn't a .war webapp.
So back to my original question, how exactly do I define where the base
web.xml file is located.
I pretty much resolved to making my own catalina startup package that uses
value from a properties file rather than hardcoded values.
I hope what I mean is clear...
