Context标签配置

Context标签放置位置：

---

1.全局：$CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml

只能有一个？？？

2.全局：$CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/context.xml.default

enginename为catalina，hostname一般为localhost。 只能有一个？？？

3.局部：$CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/*.xml.

enginename为catalina，hostname一般为localhost。 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.

4.局部：/META-INF/context.xml

if the previous file was not found for this application, in an individual file at /META-INF/context.xml inside the application files

5.全局：inside a Host element in the main conf/server.xml （不推荐，原因如下）

For Tomcat 6, unlike Tomcat 4.x, it is NOT recommended to place <Context> elements directly in the server.xml file. This is because it makes modifing the Context configuration more invasive since the main conf/server.xml file cannot be reloaded without restarting Tomcat.

 

Context属性值

---

path：表示web application的路径，如果是相对路径，是从server.xml的Host标签的appBase开始的。

docBase：表示网站或war文件的放置路径。如果是相对路径，是从server.xml的Host标签的appBase开始的。

reloadable：监视 classes in /WEB-INF/classes/ and /WEB-INF/lib 的改变，但是耗费资源。在生产环境中最好设置为false。reload行为可以在manager界面触发。
