- If a Context Descriptor is not provided for a Context, Tomcat
- automatically creates one and places it in (1) with a filename of
- [webappname].xml although if manually created, the filename need not
- match the web application name as Tomcat is concerned only with the
- Context configuration contained within the Context Descriptor file(s).
+ Files in (1) are named [webappname].xml but files in (2) are named
+ context.xml. If a Context Descriptor is not provided for a Context,
+ Tomcat configures the Context using default values.
