Hi Florian,
good idea. But that means touching the original war file.
I'd prefer to, by example, attach a sandbox directory for *outside* a
completely untouched orbeon.war.
I want to avoid unpacking orbeon.war and repackage it with a differen META-INF
as tomcat6 has the availability to put a file in
catalina/localhost/orbeon.xml.

Is repackaging with a META-INF directory really necessary?

Regards Ilja Werner

i think there's no need for special context settings when using the default
install. If special configurations are required, the easiest way may be:

- create a context fragment holding the required definitions, e.g. a realm to
authenticate users using LDAP;
- create a META-INF directory on the same level as WEB-INF in the orbeon war;
- and put the context fragment (named context.xml) into the META-INF dir.

I use such a LDAP authentication config in my own app, and psi-probe displays
that context fragment without problems.
