IDEA 12.1 deployment to old Tomcat

Hello, everyone

I am new to IntelliJ and I'm facing a problem with a custom META-INF/context.xml when deploying to local Tomcat 5.0.x (jdk 1.5, Windows 7 x86):

the IDEA 12.1 seems to ignore my context.xml and generate just an empty

<Context docBase="{path_to_artifact}" path="/{context_path}">
</Context>

in {Tomcat_Home}\conf\Catalina\localhost\{project_name}.xml - resulting in loss of Realm settings etc.

What I have done so far:

- checked the use of right instance of tomcat and jdk

- checked 'web' facet to have Tomcat context descriptor placed in META-INF/context.xml

- passed CATALINA_BASE as Environment variable

- tried with both war and exploded_war artifacts

Actually I don't have this problem with Tomcat 6.x and 7.x, but I am forced to use the 5.x version.

If this behavior is normal for IDEA and Tomcat 5.x, is there a way to control generation of that xml-file to substitute it with my custom one when deploying to server?

Or does an alternative server configuration for this case exist in Idea?

Thanks in advance
