Bug#623242: context xml file not taken into account, only web.xml is used

[Olivier Sallou]

Package: tomcat6
Version: 6.0.32

Hi,
when I put a context file in /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost (such as myapp.xml), the context param values are not taken into account. This used to work on previous tests on an older update.

To be sure, I took a Tomcat 6.0.24 version (not packaged), and installed it in /tmp. I copied my app dir in webapps and the context files in conf/Catalina/localhost, and this time my context params are taken into account.

Here are system info:
