Description manawiz 2005-03-11 00:23:46 UTC 
In 4.1 (I'm running March 6 Development build) it is impossible to edit anything
other than the Context Path in context.xml.  No other properties are visible or
accessible in any way in the new structured editor.

With web.xml, there is an option to edit the xml directly for the many element
types that do not yet have structured editors.

context.xml needs a similar facility.  I don't know if this is an incomplete
feature or a bug, so it seemed best to report it.  The only workaround now is to
edit context.xml outside of NB.

It actually is possible. You need to close the visual editor for context.xml,
and then the "Edit" action in its popup menu will be enabled. This action will
open context.xml in the text editor.
