Hello Renaud, Can you post the context.xml? I have the same problem. For development sake, I have added the resource in server.xml whereas in production machine, I will not have the access to the server.xml.

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. --Renaud > ------------------------------------------------ > > 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.
