Body
The tomcat 6.0 document at <a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html" rel="nofollow">http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html</a> says: <blockquote> Only if a context file does not exist for the application in the <code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/</code>, in an individual file at <code>/META-INF/context.xml</code> inside the application files. If the web application is packaged as a WAR then <code>/META-INF/context.xml</code> will be copied to <code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/</code> and renamed to match the application's context path. Once this file exists, it will not be replaced if a new WAR with a newer <code>/META-INF/context.xml</code> is placed in the host's appBase. </blockquote> However I noticed that if you put new war file in webapp directory, the <code>context.xml</code> in <code>META-INF</code> directory replaces <code>context.xml</code> in <code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]</code>. Is there any configuration which makes sure that <code>context.xml</code> in <code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/</code> is not overwritten whenever new war file is deployed. Edit: I am using autodeploy="true" From the comment of JoseK, I understand when tomcat sees new war file, it undeploys old application (leading to deletion of context file) and deploys the the new war file (leading to creation of new war file). In that case the above information from tomcat document is not relavant. The new question can there be any situation where the above thing can happen?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
