警告: [SetPropertiesRule]{Server/Service/Engine/Host/Context} Setting property 'source'

本文出自：http://hi.baidu.com/luoyeyilin/item/9dd1eff00f599fd242c36ab5

在网上查了一下，很多人也碰到这个问题

转一下别人的解释：

有的说将Tomcat的版本换成6.0.14就可以了；还有的说在建立Dynamic Web Project时把"Dynamic Web Module"选项后面的版本号由2.5改成2.4也行。不过这些回答好像都不能真正地解决问题。

出现SetPropertiesRule警告的原因是因为Tomcat在server.xml的Context节点中不支持source属性：<Context docBase="…" path="/…" source="org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.server:…"/>

解决方法是在Servers视图里双击创建的server，然后在其server的配置界面中选中"Publish module contexts to separate XML files"选项。

具体“Publish module contexts to separate XML files”是什么意思，

请看Tomcat Publishing Options介绍：

Two new options which affect publishing are now available in the Server Options section of the Tomcat server editor. The Tomcat server must be 5.0.x or later for these options to be enabled. The Serve modules without publishing option does what it says. Web content will be served directly from the "WebContent" folder of the Dynamic Web Project. A customized context is used to make the project's dependencies available in the Web application's classloader. The Publish module contexts to separate XML files option will publish contexts using the preferred method of separate XML files under the "conf/Catalina/localhost" directory, rather than keeping them in the "server.xml" file. A couple of improvements for this option are noted in Bugs 180931 and 180936.

关于解决方法，再详细说明一下：

Servers视图的打开方法：Window--Show View-other..--Servers

双击Server：就是双击服务器名，我的服务器名为：Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost 即双击它，进入

server的配置界面： 选中"Publish module contexts to separate XML files"选项
