I think that at 6.x you need to do one of the following to the context.xml file located in the configBase ($CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/): 1. make the changes to the file there and reload the webapp 2. make the changes in the META_INF file and copy it to the configBase, then reload the webapp 3. delete the file from the configBase, then redeploy the webapp. With 7.x (at least the latest version) you get the copyXML paramter in the <Host> element which will give you more control over the process.
