Hello Roman,

There is another trouble with passing parameters in URL.
When resource was defined in context.xml the web application works till
tomcat restart.
When context.xml embeds into server.xml during deployment
all encodings like & are converted to according characters.
And server.xml becames invalid for next parsing.
I do not know how to work it around.

Andrew.
