title: Do i need a context.xml file to deploy spring webapp to tomcat
body: <p>I am new to Tomcat, so I apologize if this is a dumb question. I have created a spring mvc webapp that currently runs locally using the maven-jetty-plugin.</p>
  
  <p>I can successfully create the WAR file. I would like to deploy the WAR file into a tomcat6 instance. However, I am not sure if I need to create a context.xml file for tomcat? And if I do, where would I place the  file in my spring webapp? My current directory structure looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>src
  |
  |-main
  |  |-java
     |-resource
     |    |-META-INF
     |-webapp
     |    |-WEB-INF
              |-web.xml
  </code></pre>
