Why does Intellij-IDEA ignore my tomcat/conf/server.xml Context tag?

Question

In my $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml I put this near the bottom:

...

                   


        

Answer 1

I was need ROOT context in Tomcat/IntelliJ, so in server.xml in Host tag, add specific Context :

In intelliJ 11.1.5, in Server tab panel check box "Deploy applications configured in Tomcat instance", IntelliJ will copy server.xml in folder deployment :

C:\Users\{Username}\.IntelliJIdea11\system\tomcat\Unnamed_Product_2\conf"

Now I can access to resources in Root domain, by example crossdomain.xml :

http://localhost:8080/crossdomain.xml
