在openshift中的tomcat server.xml中定义上下文

Question

I want to define a context in my tomcat server on openshift cloud. I have done it successfully in my local tomcat server but I don't know how to do it on openshift. I did it in local by adding :

<Context docBase="E:/captcha" path="/test/captcha"></Context>

to my tomcat's server.xml file. But in openshift I don't know how to define the docbase attribute. Thanks for any useful response!

You shouldn't really be using <Context> in server.xml these days.

Instead, put your WAR file in the proper place. If you must use an XML descriptor, take the META-INF/context.xml file (which you should have!) and put it into CATALINA_BASE/conf/[engine]/[host]/[appname].xml and Tomcat will deploy it.

Unfortunately, if you can't use WAR-deployment, then you'll still have to figure out what the docBase should be. Where is your WAR file?
