I have a similar need. I have a context file with a JNDI resource, and some env entries. I want this context file to be copied to the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/ directory do that the users can use the default JNDI and env values I enter.
My app exisits within the appbase and I want this context file to be copied to the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/ directory when my webapp is deployed.

Why do you think you should? It will only be copied there if the webapp resides outside of the declared appBase for the <Host>. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
