No Context Configured In Server.xml

[James Ellis]

I am toying with the sample struts application that comes with struts. There is no context listed in server.xml yet the app somehow "works". I don't understand this...but more importantly how can you configure things like AccessLogValve's if you don't have a context entry in server.xml.

Thanks,

I guess I'll just have to configure a context for this in the server.xml.

I'm no expert on configuring tomcat (or any other container) but I thought it was 'bad form' or just better form to keep the configuration information with each specific application (in the deployment descriptor). Although I think it is also possible to have each applications context stored in a separate file.

That's what I thought also...but how could you configure an AccessLogValve without putting it in the server.xml file?
