I am running myeclipse 4.1.0GA and tomcat 5.0.28 on windows xp. In my application, I am defining mysql resource in a context.xml file that is located in WebRoot/META-INF. I was running into problems with tomcat resolving the database resource. After much investigation I found that context.xml is not getting copied into $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/myapp.xml
I have not done this in awhile so I am probably missing something simple. Also, I know this is not specifically a [my]eclipse problem but probably more related to tomcat. If I copy the context.xml (and name it myapp.xml) into the above mentioned location, it works just fine. Any idea how I can make this automatic?
Thanks!

This is a Tomcat issue. This feature of a context.xml file is so flaky and I can’t figure out why. In my own development I’ve fought with this stupid thing enough times to not even bother any more. Just rename the XML file and drop it in to that dir manually yourself; save some hair.

No, you are doing exactly the right thing. It seems on some versions of Tomcat this works and other’s it doesn’t. It’s totally random, like I said, I just gave up.
