Thanks a lot, Chuck. So I think I can infer from what youre saying is that
for the other 2 context.xml's,
if you want Tomcat to behave a certain way for a particular webapp, you
could edit context.xml files
to get something different from the default behaviour. In what type of
situation might you want to do
something like that, I mean what kind of situation would compel you to want
to edit one of those
context.xmls ? Anyway, thanks a bunch for the help. This is the most
helpful forum I'v been on.
You guys rock !
