You used to be able to do this in tomcat 5.0.28 but can't seem to in 5.5.23, unless I'm missing something. In the Host section of your server.xml if you set autoDeploy="false" and deployOnStartup="false" then you could drop your context descriptor files in the conf/<engine>/<host>/ directory and start them up that way. Since the manager app has a manager.xml file located there you could still use the manager app as well. In tomcat 5.5.23 if you set deployOnStartup="false" then nothing out of the appBase gets deployed nor do any of the apps referenced by the context descriptors (manager app doesn't get deployed). I wish you could have a deployOnStartup for apps in the appBase and a different deployOnStartup for context descriptors in conf/<engine>/<host>/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
