在Eclipse tomcat服务器中添加docBase

Question

i tried adding a new docbase into server.xml in order to define a upload directory within my tomcat sever. Hoever if i add this to my standalone tomcat server it works like a charm:

<Context docBase="C:\uploads" path="/uploads" reloadable="true" />

But within my local eclipse tomcat server config it does not work. My puplishing action is to "update context paths" and i use the "workspace metadata" in the servers tab.

Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

The following solved my issue:

I created a new server in eclipse and set the "Server Locations" to

"Use Tomcat installation (take control of Tomcat installation)"

Using this option in eclipse uses by default the wtpwebapps as deployment path. It also respects now the newly added docbase in server.xml.

Cheers!
