Tomcat 5 and Idea 4.5

Hi,

If you really need customization on the server level (server.xml),
please, post the tracker request on this with the example file of your
customization.

I have an xml file that defines all of the Tomcat <Context>.....</Context> information about my webapp.

If I put the <Context> element data into the server.xml IDEA removes the data when it creates it's copy of my conf folder.

What am I supposed to do with this data? The new Tomcat stuff in IDEA 4.5 is way bloated and confusing now...

He is referring to the deployment descriptor file (or whatever it is called). The little Context XML fragment that lives in the conf folder.

I believe you just put a copy of the file in the tomcat folder that is set as your "base". When IDEA copies everything to start tomcat pulls your Context along with it. Make sure the file name and the context name match.

Maybe. But you couldn't do this at all before so on balance I'm happier now.
