tomcat7-maven-plugin custom server.xml

Question

I am trying to use the tomcat7-maven-plugin:run with a custom server.xml, which contains a Realm I need to enable. As described in the docs I have used

Answer 1

If all you need is change the Realm then instead of using server.xml use context.xml with your realm:

Point your tomcat maven plugin to that context.xml:

  org.apache.tomcat.maven
  tomcat6-maven-plugin
  2.0
  ...
  
    ...
    tomcat/context.xml
    ...
