Thanks a lot Jeffrey,

that is the thing I was just thinking about... personally I think that =
it
makes sense trying to 'automatize' as much as possible the 'deployment
process'... and it seems reasonable to me doing that by using the =
web.xml
files in our .war distribution files to regenerate the server.xml on
Tomcat's startup...

Once more, thanks for your time and attention...

Well I think that they are working on some automatic context detection =
for
3.2 which would make server.xml automatically generated with the right
contexts for whatever webapps you have deployed (or in .war files which =
it
will automatically expand even in 3.1). For now though, we do have to
manually code the contexts in ourselves :(

So, as you said, Jeffrey I understand that I can deploy my webapps as =
.war
files. That way I can rely on Tomcat to automaticaly expand all the
subdirectory structure for my webapp... but I still have to 'code by =
hand'
the virtual URI's for my webapp... is it right?

As I understand it, the server.xml file is not automatically generated. =
It
is the main tool for configuring tomcat's overall configuration (at =
least if
you want to use the automatically generated apache-tomcat.conf) Web.xml =
in
the conf folder is a place to set default values for anything that you =
leave
out in the web.xml files for individual projects. I don't know how =
things
work in 3.2B but that seems to be how they work in 3.1

( If I'm wrong someone please correct me )

Ok... but I was just wondering if the contents of server.xml are also
automatically generated (may starting from the several web.xml of each
webapp deployed to the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory)...

yes it is automatically generated from the contents of server.xml.
