Question:
I'm having difficulties assigning JDBCHealm properties to tomcat server. How to add new properties to server.xml file or tomcat-users.xml file when app is on amazon server hosted with tomcat server as elasticbeanstalk?
Answer:
You can override the settings as follows:
Create a directory inside your webapp , and paste your server.xml . After that, create an xml: server-update.config , with the code below:
container_commands:
replace-config:
command: cp .ebextensions/server.xml /etc/tomcat7/server.xml
This information can be found at:

Note that as above, your server.xml will completely replace the existing one, if you just want to replace some settings or insert others, see the soEN form below:
