> The documentation about the context configuration in Tomcat does not work in JbossAS deployments.
> I have just spend some time looking at the related code at
> http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/branches/JBPAPP_4_2/tomcat/src/main/org/jboss/web/tomcat/service/TomcatDeployer.java
> Here is the code snippet
> ****************************************************************
> private String findConfig(URL warURL) throws IOException
>   {
>      String result = null;
>      // See if the warUrl is a dir or a file
>      File warFile = new File(warURL.getFile());

>         zipFile.close();

> ****************************************************************
> This code needs to be modified in such a way that it uses these configurations
> **************************************************************************************
> 1. in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/context.xml.default file: the Context element information will be loaded by all webapps of that host
> 2. in individual files (with a ".xml" extension) in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory. The name of the file (less the .xml) extension will be used as the context path. Multi-level context paths may be defined using #, e.g. context#path.xml. The default web application may be defined by using a file called ROOT.xml.
> 3. if the previous file was not found for this application, in an individual file at /META-INF/context.xml inside the application files
> inside a Host element in the main conf/server.xml
> **************************************************************************************
> The point[3] is already rejected earlier by Scott, here is the related jira
