• UTGBPortable generates context.xml files to specify the resource folder of UTGB

context.xml: $resource$ will be replaced with the file path to the resource folder

<Context>
    <Environment description="absolute path to the resource folder" 
	        name="resource" 
	        type="java.lang.String" 
	        value="$resource$"/>
</Context>

In order to deploy your UTGB appliction to non-local Tomcat servers, you have to tell the location of your context.xml file to Tomcat Deployer (Tomcat Manager) when deploying the war (web application archive) file.

Within this context.xml file, you might have to specify the location of your resource folder, which might be required to run your UTGB web application.
