Tomcat Server Configuration

I am having a problem with Configuring Apache Tomcat ver 1.3 on a F4-210.

The Application has only 2 options for configuring the Web root directory (public or appdata). I want to configure the Web root directory to "public/Java". This allows me to have other applications in the public directory such as Plex while keeping the applications from interfering with one another.

I can log into the F4-210 and edit the server.xml file in "/mnt/md0/application/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M15/conf", but when the Tomcat server is re-started, the Apache Tomcat application manager will default back to configuring the Web root directory to "appdata" in the server.xml file.

I can change the server.xml file to automatically unpack my "war" files in /mnt/public/Java, but because my "docBase" keeps being configured to /mnt/public with the Tomcat application manager, my server is having problems running my applications.

Can the Tomcat Application Manager allow me to restart Tomcat without re-configuring the <Context docBase ... > parameter in the server.xml file.

Thanks for your feedback. It will be reported to the related department, and they will discuss and consider whether it should be modified.

I installed the Docker application, added and configured a tomcat image and it is working.... It may be a little more resource intensive, but we'll see.
