RE: TryNo2: path attribute for Context element in tomcat 5.5
From: Akoulov, Alexandre [IT] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TryNo2: path attribute for Context element in tomcat 5.5 I am just wondering if you have any comments on the following email: What kind of comments are you looking for? The OP encountered a problem, read the doc, corrected his configuration, and resolved the problem. Other than perhaps reading the doc first (difficult to know where to read, of course), it looks like he did everything right. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

RE: TryNo2: path attribute for Context element in tomcat 5.5
thanks a lot, Hassan and Chuck, for your replies. Context element description (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html) : path... The context path of this web application...The value of this field must not be set except when statically defining a Context in server.xml, as it will be infered from the filenames used for either the .xml context file or the docBase. I just find it a bit strange that tomcat5 derives the Context path from the actual filename. Was not the tomcat3 way of setting the context path in the 'path' attribute better? Does anyone know the story behind this change?

I'd greatly appreciate if you could give me the feedback on the following email: -Original Message- From: Akoulov, Alexandre [IT] Sent: Wednesday, 23 November 2005 12:16 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: path attribute for Context element in tomcat 5.5 Hi all, I am in the process of upgrading from tomcat-3.3 to tomcat-5.5.12. One of the changes in tomcat 5.5 is the configuration of contexts (ie web apps) is now being done in individual files (with a .xml extension) in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory ( rather than in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml, which is a tomcat-3.3 way). To test this new configuration I've created the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/test.xml with the following content: - ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?
