Greetings,
I ran into a small problem today and last night that I was hoping
someone could answer/explain for me. I was trying to add a new role to
tomcat-users.xml to test some basic authentication in a small web app I am
playing with. I made the change in the base tomcat directory then tried
logging in with the new role. Nothing seemed to work. This afternoon I
discovered that Eclipse created a new tomcat-users.xml when I created the
server instance a month or two ago so I figured I would just add my new
user there and everything would be fine; however, when I changed
tomcat-users.xml I could no longer use the server instance I had
configured in Eclipse. It kept telling me the server config was out of
synch with the file system and could not start. I finally ended up
deleting the server instance and installing a fresh one in Eclipse which
imported the latest tomcat-users.xml and allowed me to start the server
and test it. Problem solved, essentially. My question is, do I need to
delete and reinstall the tomcat instance, in Eclipse, any time I make a
change to tomcat-users.xml? Or is there some way to edit it from within
Eclipse/WTP that will not give me the "out of synch" error? I doubt it is
of any consequence but I always configure the Eclipse instance to run on a
different set of ports than the base instance so I can test on one port
and install on another. Thankyou.

Greg,
When you create a new server, a set of configuration files are imported
from your Tomcat installation into a corresponding folder under the
Servers project in your workspace. Among them is tomcat-users.xml.
If you modify this one (which doesn't seem to be the case below), I
don't think you will have a problem. Note that these files are never
used directly by a running server. They are copied to the appropriate
location to be used at runtime.
Cheers,
Larry
