Modified: catalina/src/share/org/apache/catalina/startup SetDocBaseRule.java Log: - Don't unpack if there's an overriding unpackWAR attribute on the context itself. I plan to use this to run the tomcat-docs webapp from the WAR (it simply uses too much HD space, and takes a while to unpack when installing Tomcat, so I'll experiment with bundling it as a WAR).

I won't be doing that, BTW. It turns out it works great once TC is installed and it's a fancy setup (I put a META-INF/context.xml inside the .war telling TC not to unpack the WAR), but unfortunately, it makes the d/ls significantly bigger (a much as 3MB for the .exe distribution for Windows), so it's not a good tradeoff.

I'll leave in the unpackWAR flag. It looks like a reasonably useful feature in some situations.
