How to provide a context configuration for a web application in Tomcat?

Question

I have a web application that relies on some resources and parameters to be configured after it is installed, like a JDBC connection.

What I have come up with is pro

Answer 1

By referring to Apache Tomcat 5.5 Documentation:

In the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml file: the Context element information will be loaded by all webapps

You could easily try this approach, it might work, but I'm not sure if this is a good solution especially if you are running multiple webapps on Tomcat.
