I have the same, except I have only one context pr virtual server, and uses the war-file as the root-app in each. When I replace a war-file, the context-files for the other root-apps is deleted - each time. But the context-file for the replaced war-file is left untouched.' I use 6.0.16 on jvm 1.6.0_01-b06 on Mandriva.
/Frode "Albert Wold" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02.04.2008 01:39 To <users@tomcat.apache.org> cc Please respond to "Tomcat Users List" Subject <users@tomcat.apache.org> Deleting context xml files Hello, Recently I have been using per-context XML files in /usr/local/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost to define environment specific information for my webapps. That way, when I move a war file through the cycle of dev/qa/production, I can be sure that I'm running the same code, and don't have to fiddle with settings inside the war file. I'm not sure when it started happening, but during development it seems that tomcat is deleting the context xml files at seemingly random times. I think it has something to do with the undeploy/redeploy process that happens when the war file changes. It seems particularly common when there is a startup error in my app, but it is always when something in the webapp changes. Has anyone else experienced this? I have been using tomcat 6.0.14, but I just upgraded to 6.0.16 to see if that helps. Basically, I'm wondering if I'm doing something against proper practice right now that is causing this or if there is some sort of bug in tomcat. I am using maven, so I have less control (probably partly because I a haven't figured it out fully yet) over the copying of files than I did with ant and I'd be interested to hear what other people are doing for dev deployment when using context xml files. -Al --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
