Hi. 

I got a Problem with Tomcat deployment. I am using TC 7.0.42, OS: Win2k8r2, J 
1.7.0._45. 

We used to deploy unpacked webapps (dirs) on a Tomcat 5.0.26 outside the 
Webapps-dir. We used the manager (web-IF) to deploy these apps, giving the 
context name and the local directory. The tomcat ran the app from this 
location. It creates a <contex>.xml in it's config dir.

Now in TC7, the tomcat COPIES the APP from the given location to the default 
Webapps directory. But we want it to run from where it is, not a copy. One way 
to archieve this is to manually create a <context>.xml file in the 
conf/server/localhost dir. But our deployment process needs it to be done via 
web interface. So, is there any possibility to configure tomcat 7 to behave 
like tomcat 5 when deploying local webapp directories from outside the webapps 
dir? I tried autoDeploy and unpackWars to false, but it didn't help. :(
