Context file not loading tomcat

I created a dynamic web project and added a context.xml file to the META-INF folder as mentioned here. But when I deploy the war file the context file is not copying to the folder $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/. My context.xml file content are following,

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Context>    
    <Environment name="test" value="10"
         type="java.lang.Integer" override="false"/> 
</Context>

Why this approach is not working? How can I set the context of a application dynamically?

Solution

  • Try updating the Host element inside your tag.

    <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
      <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.LockOutRealm">
        ...
      </Realm>

      <Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps"
            unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" copyXML="true">
