Description Martin Kuba 2005-05-11 16:41:24 UTC 
I have a context XML descriptor in 
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/mywebapp.xml
and a corresponding webapp in 
$CATALINA_BASE/webapps/mywebapp.war

When I redeploy the mywebapp.war by replacing it, touching it, or from the
manager, the context XML descriptor is removed in that moment.

The webapp cannot start properly then, because context init parameters and JNDI
resources defined in the removed context XML descriptor are not defined then.

It is not a duplicate of 34840.

The problem is present, it is imposible now to keep initial
context parameters and database JNDI resources separately from WAR archive
and update WAR.

It is really annoying not to be able update WAR file without loosing
initial context parameters and database connection.

This is very similar, and related. Please do not reopen the report again.
