Context files [message #128586]

Originally posted by: dberkowicz.mac.com

I am using Eclipse 3.1 with the 0.7 WTP release. Prior to this I used
the Sysdeo Tomcat plug-in to manage my web-server. I enabled the use of
context files which simplified the management of my development files.
I notice that when I use the wtp tools to generate and run a
web-service Tomcat is run using a set of configuration files local to
my web-module directory and it modifies the server.xml file. Is there a
way to change this as I often need to add environment properties to my
applications?
Thanks David.

David,

If you place a META-INF/context.xml under your project's WebContent
folder, the child elements of the <Context> element in that file will be
included in the server.xml used by Tomcat at runtime. If you want to
check, the default is to place this server.xml under
"<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp?/conf ",
where '?' is a number.

Cheers,
Larry
