Assuming a clean Tomcat 7 install then add the following content to META-INF/context.xml inside your web app: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <Context reloadable="true" allowLinking="true" /> And place your webapp inside your webapps directory. The xml file will be read from the webapp and *will not* be copied to CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost Note that if the dir/war is named MYAPP/MYAPP.war then the context path with be /MYAPP. If you want a lower case contetx path, rename dir/war to use lower case.
