Hi, I realize that conf/context.xml is not the place to put application settings as this file is for Tomcat-instance-wide settings. I tried putting the settings in context directories, e.g., conf/Catalina/localhost/context.xml.default . But changes to this did not get picked up either. These seems to me like a bug in Tomcat.
Using META-INF/context.xml would not do it for me, because I want to leave deployment-specific settings outside the webapp (outside its WAR). That way I can easily deploy and upgrade of the code without blowing away settings which are specific to that deployment/instance of the WAR. In my case, there is an identical WAR which is copied around and deployed for different customers, so my context.xml may have customer-specific settings, for example. What's the best-practice way to do this in the Tomcat environment?
