Pid, Thanks for the reply.
You misunderstood the point maybe because my poor English. In chronological order this happens: 1. The war contains the META-INF/context.xml. 2. On deployment (copy to webapps folder) META-INF/context.xml gets copied to conf/Catalina/localhost/warname.xml 3. My war finds the settings, but these are the defaults "hardcoded" into my war/META-INF/context.xml. 4. Using Tomcat Administrator application the admin changes environment settings defined in conf/Catalina/localhost/warname.xml (which was extracted from the war). 5. My webapp restarts and finds the new settings a works perfect. 6. I build a new version of the war and that gets copyed to the tomcat/webapps directory. 7. The server uses autodeploy: the new .war get expanded and the web app restarts. At this point I think autodeploy first undeploys the app and deletes the conf/Catalina/localhost/warname.xml. So the changes done by the admin in the setttings got lost. 8. The admin has to reedit the configuration (JNDI envoronment settings) in conf/Catalina/localhost/warname.xml. This last step is what I want to get rid of. The only way was to put resource links to the war/META-INF/context.xml that link to GlobalResources. GlobalResources doesn't get deleted at webapp redeploy :) and no changes are required in conf/Catalina/localhost/warname.xml because it is just a link. But now I have to deploy the same unmodified war many times to the same tomcat so I have to use different settings at each webapp. Thanks, Balázs On 2007-09-12 Wednesday 12:11, Pid wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Is there a way to prevent Tomcat to delete the webappname.xml from > > conf/Catalina/localhost at every redeployment? > > > > I have application specific environment settings there, but at redeploy > > it gets deleted and I lose the settings.
