Context parameters in context.xml ignored when deploying web app (Idea 10)

Hi,

I am using a follwing feature of Tomcat:

You can configure named values that will be made visible to the     web application as servlet context initialization parameters by nesting     

<Parameter>

	<Context ...>   ...   <Parameter name="companyName" value="My Company, Incorporated"          override="false"/>   ... </Context>

This is equivalent to the inclusion of the following element in the     web application deployment descriptor (

/WEB-INF/web.xml

	<context-param>   <param-name>companyName</param-name>   <param-value>My Company, Incorporated</param-value> </context-param>

but does not require modification of the deployment descriptor     to customize this value.




The above is placed in context.xml of my we app.

So basically I have the following in web.xml:

<context-param>
        <param-name>ParamName</param-name>
        <param-value>Value_1</param-value>
    </context-param>


And my context.xml has:


<Parameter name="ParamName"
               type="java.lang.String"
               value="Value_2"
               override="false"/>


The idea is I will get value Value_2 when accessing it in JSP. Works if I deploy it as a regular war to Tomcat.


Upon deployment of artifact from Idea (local tomcat 6) i can see the context.xml copied to

~/mylocalDirectory/Caches/IntelliJIdea10/tomcat/myApplicationName/conf/Catalina/localhost/myAppName.xml

So everything seems to be deployed correctly.

However when accessing ParamName I get the value from web.xml, not from context.xml


Any ideas?

I would not want to change existins web.xml/context.xml fiels for legacy reasons.

Thanks

Martin
