Because you have to restart Tomcat if you make any changes to server.xml - it's only read during initialization. Consequently, updating the app on the fly when its <Context> tag is in server.xml is not possible. To quote from the doc: "See Automatic Application Deployment for more information. This method allows dynamic reconfiguration of the web application, since the main conf/server.xml file cannot be reloaded without restarting Tomcat. Please note that for tomcat 5, unlike tomcat 4.x, it is NOT recommended to place <Context> elements directly in the server.xml file. Instead, put them in the META-INF/context.xml directory of your WAR file or the conf directory as described above." http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
