As of TC 5.0 the prefered way of configuring a context (web application) is to
use a XML context fragment file. That file will either be placed in
${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/${HOSTNAME}/${CONTEXT_NAME}.xml, if you're deploying from
a directory or in ./META-INF/${CONTEXT_NAME}.xml, if it is a WAR file.
That way, deploying of an app can be free from editing the server.xml.
As for the original problem, that is NOT it. The fact that TC's restart picks
up everything suggests that the config is OK. Or at least relatively OK. I
think that TC will create a XML fragment for the app and it could be that
*that* fragment is interfering with the deployment process.
Since I can see nothing wrong with the config, I would advise the original
poster to go the correct route. Create the config fragment, pack it into your
WAR, clean up server.xml and try to deploy/undeploy/redeploy. It will have no
effect on TC 4.x, if you're warried that you might be forced to use it some
day, TC4 ignores that file (one question to the authoritative guys: will that
dir be accessable? - a potential security hole).
Nix.
