Thank you very much Dan, I looked at the links and noticed I am running tomcat 7 locally and 6 on our DEV environment. I also noticed that copyXML is present in the documentation for tomcat 7 and defaults to false. Finally " In an individual file at /META-INF/context.xml inside the application files. In Tomcat 6 this file is *automatically* copied to $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ and renamed to application's base file name plus a ".xml" extension. (This automated copying became *optional* in Tomcat 7). "
Would you happen to know if it is possible to achive the same in tomcat 6? ( We will not be upgrading for a while ) Miguel On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 12:41 PM, Daniel Mikusa <dmik...@pivotal.io> wrote: > On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 12:28 PM, Miguel Pereira < > miguelaperei...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Hey all, > > > > I was wondering where I could get some more information about these xml > > files.
