Tomcat Publishing Options

Two new options which affect publishing are now available in the Server Options section of the Tomcat server editor. The Tomcat server must be 5.0.x or later for these options to be enabled. The Serve modules without publishing option does what it says. Web content will be served directly from the "WebContent" folder of the Dynamic Web Project. A customized context is used to make the project's dependencies available in the Web application's classloader. The Publish module contexts to separate XML files option will publish contexts using the preferred method of separate XML files under the "conf/Catalina/localhost" directory, rather than keeping them in the "server.xml" file. A couple of improvements for this option are noted in Bugs 180931 and 180936.
