TOMCAT 5.5 and higher context

Hi,





the TOMCAT documentation of JCHEM http://www.chemaxon.com/jchem/doc/admin/tomcat.html needs a little update of TOMCAT version numbers and alternative ways to set-up TOMCAT. The tomcat help http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/context.html says:

Quote:

In addition to nesting Context elements inside a Host element, you can also store them in individual files (with a ".xml" extension) in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory. See Automatic Application Deployment for more information. This method allows dynamic reconfiguration of the web application, since the main conf/server.xml file cannot be reloaded without restarting Tomcat. Please note that for tomcat 5.x, unlike tomcat 4.x, it is NOT recommended to place <Context> elements directly in the server.xml file. Instead, put them in the META-INF/context.xml directory of your WAR file or the conf directory as described above.

Bye

Hi Tobias,





Thank you pointing this out, we will certainly update the documentation.





Fortunately this outdated hint does not seem to cause any practical problems for users experimenting with our API and JSP examples.





In case of serious applications I'm sure the web administrators follow the latest official recommendations.





Best regards,
