Hello Timm:
I didn't get this to work, but found a workaround that's enough for my
needs. I honestly think it's a bug. I've searched the Tomcat bug database,
and there seem to be lots of things broken with deployment.
I wanted to deploy my application using the Tomcat Manager, pointing it to
the directory where the application resides -- using the field labeled "WAR
or Directory URL", see attached screenshot. In that directory I have a
META-INF/context.xml with resource configuration.
As you did, I found out that doing this copies myapp/META-INF/context.xml to
CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/myapp.xml but erases its content. The
application gets deployed right the first time; any subsequent time,
resource configuration is missing and the application will fail. It deploys
OK, but e.g. won't talk to the database because the configuration
information is not there.
What I do now is use the second field "XML configuration file URL" instead,
and enter the full path to my context.xml, eg.
file:/home/renaud/myapp/META-INF/context.xml. This context.xml must contain
the proper path to the application in the docBase attribute, eg.
docBase="/home/renaud/myapp". Let me know if this works for you.

I want to configure a JDBC-Resource within the Context of my web-app.
I placed a <Resource>-entry and a <ResourceParams>-entry as
child-elements of <Context> in the META-INF/contxt.xml-file. When I
deployed my app (via a file-URL) it gets configured accordingly at
first, but the resulting xml-file in conf\Catalina\localhost for the
web-app does not contain any child-elements within the <Context>-Tag
any more. So when I need to restart Tomcat my web-app is not
configured with the Resource anymore. I also tried to use the
override-Attribute, but this does not do any difference. I cannot
place the Resource in the server.xml since I have no access to it. So
my question is: How can I configure a Resource for a single web-app
only without using server.xml ? I'm using Tomcat 5.0.28.
