Description

A /src/main/webapp/META-INF/context.xml in a overlay could not be included. Even <containerConfigXML>${project.basedir}/target/war/work/myoverlaygroup/myoverlayartifact/META-INF/context.xml</containerConfigXML>
is ignored.

Usually having copyXML=true, tomcat should copy the context.xml to /conf/Catalina/ but as long the xml is not part of the WAR i can not deploy on an virgin tomcat.
