I am trying to include a Tomcat JDBCRealm in the context in which my
project runs. I add the realm to the server.xml for the instance of
Tomcat 5.0.28 registered in Eclipse for my project.
I noticed that each time I start the server from within Eclipse, it
propagates a new context XML file to the tomcat/conf/catalina/localhost
directory. That's not a problem; however, the context XML file contains
the context information for the project but NOT the realm information.
If I manually edit the context XML file, the realm specifications are
properly handled, but when I start Tomcat from inside Eclipse again, it
wipes them out with a new context XML file. This doesn't happen if I
start Tomcat outside of Eclipse.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any words of advice? Workarounds?
Thanks,
Mike

put context.xml file with your realm and other resouce definations in
your project's WebContents/META-INF folder. WTP will use this file in
the tomcat configration instead of its on context definations.

Raj is correct that the best place to put this is in the
META-INF/context.xml. That way it is part of your project or web
module. In the I20050422 build, and eventually M4, context
configuration child elements will not be removed from server.xml unless
a META-INF/context.xml is found. This is an improvement from M3, where
the server.xml context child elements are always removed. The risk with
putting them in server.xml is that if you remove the project or web
module from the Tomcat server, the context and any child elements will
disappear from server.xml and be lost.
Cheers,
Larry

So I gave this a shot. I cleared out all reference to my context in the
actual Tomcat server on my development system. Then, I removed the Tomcat
server from my project in Eclipse. I added the context XML to META-INF.
It contains only a context element and a child realm element. This is
exactly what's normally placed into
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost. I then added a Tomcat instance to
my project and built the project in Eclipse.
Here's what happened:
A server.xml was created in my project workspace as expected. The
server.xml contains a context element without the realm as a child element.
A context XML file was created in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost
with only a context element and without the realm.
The server starts, the page loads, and I am prompted to enter a username
and password, but the username and password don't resolve. It's clear
that the JDBCRealm is not actually being created.
Again, the JDBCRealm is being created if I do the work outside of Eclipse,
so I know that the XML specification is correct. It probably sounds
nit-picky since I have a workaround, but I'd really like to have Eclipse
be my one-stop shop for development on this project. It seems that it's
simply the placement of the files that I'm getting wrong. Any additional
help someone can provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Mike Arnold

Please check the context configuration found in the server.xml found
under the appropriate "tmp?" directory found under
"<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core ". This
is where your context config is really defined.
The context XML file written to conf/Catalina/localhost is sort of a bug
for contexts defined in server.xml. The context in server.xml takes
priority. Unfortunately, this file will interfere with normal usage of
the Tomcat installation. This behavior has been fixed in Tomcat 5.5,
which doesn't write this file.
There is still a problem of getting changes made to the
META-INF/context.xml file transferred to the server.xml under
".metadata/..." after the Tomcat server has been run the first time.
The handling isn't there to ensure the server realizes the need to
republish. You may have to remove and re-add the webapp to the server
so the server.xml gets rewritten with current data.
Cheers,
Larry
