Re: getContextPath
At each stage of request resolution, the longest match wins. At the point where the request is routed to a particular webapp, it matches the webapp whose context matches more of the request path than any other. IE in your case, if there is a root webapp with context "" and a webapp with context "test", the webapp at context "test" will receive the request. If you want further clarification, see in the default ROOT webapp that ships with tomcat. There's a placeholder /admin/index.html that's only active as long as the admin webapp isn't installed. --David mast wrote: little correction it seem that if i put a directory in the same way as the ROOT directory tomcat use it instead of the other exemple : /usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/users1/ROOT/test/test.jsp /usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/users1/test/test.jsp tomcat use the second one (and their appear the ContextPath: /test ) is this the normal way of tomcat working? if so all is ok thanks for all - Original Message - From: "mast" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 11:04 PM Subject: Re: getContextPath Hmm well it seem i have made a mistake the server.xml is correct and my configuration under ROOT too but it seem that if i put some file before the ROOT directory tomcat take that as the defaut context? i explain : i have put like i said : appBase="/usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/users1" there i have create a ROOT directory /usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/users1/ROOT/ (WEB-INF etc after the ROOT) but i had a WEB-INF and META-INF in the same directory as the ROOT too and they seem to have been taken instead of the one in the ROOT one (is it normal?) now all works fine sorry to have make you loose time. - Original Message - From: "mast" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 10:51 PM Subject: Re: getContextPath >From: "Caldarale, Charles R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 10:37 PM Subject: RE: getContextPath Do you have a test.xml lurking around in conf/[engine]/[host] in one of them?

Not sure what you mean by "normal", but since the setup was in error, there are no guarantees that Tomcat will do anything useful with it.

Depends on what you mean by "under". If your app IS the ROOT directory, then getContextPath() should return an empty string.

Re: getContextPath
in the 5.5.17 version my app is under the ROOT directory yes (that s the correct way like we told before no ?) to give another example with exactly the same deployement (both under ROOT) with a 5.5.17 and a 5.5.20 5.5.17 : ContextPath: /test ServletPath: /test.jsp PathInfo: null RequestURI: /test/test.jsp 5.5.20 ContextPath: ServletPath: /test/test.jsp PathInfo: null RequestURI: /test/test.jsp so exactly the same problem that between the 5.5.9 and 5.5.17 both the 5.5.9 and 5.5.20 appear to work in the "good" way but the 5.5.17 still has the same problem my conf is the same for both : unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" /> for both the 5.5.20 and 5.5.17 so what can explain that the variable aren't identical? - Original Message - From: "Caldarale, Charles R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 9:14 PM Subject: RE: getContextPath From: mast [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: getContextPath i use a simple jsp file with : ContextPath: <%= request.getContextPath() %> ServletPath: <%= request.getServletPath() %> with a 5.5.9 server ContextPath: /test ServletPath: /test.jsp with a 5.517 server ContextPath: ServletPath: /test/test.jsp Did you change how the app was deployed between 5.5.9 and 5.5.17?
