This is a conversation we are having on the users list. I propose that the contexts, "/admin", and "/manager" be renamed to something else, (I suggest "/tomcat/admin", and "/tomcat/manager" respectively). Doing so avoids Tomcat being yet another app, which wants to own http://(url)/admin
This is very easily modifiable in Tomcat (one string in admin.xml and manager.xml), and I think it should be done. Original posts: (my email) Tomcat ought to do the same, IMO. You never know who else wants to own "http://url/admin";, and you do not always have the luxury of renaming it. /tomcat/admin and /tomcat/manager are more specific, and can easily be changed on Tomcat's side. Maybe something to bring up on the developer list.

Suppose you are upgrading from 4.1.18 to 4.1.24. The unpacked tar will override all of the contents re admin and install its admin app. Why don't you guys think of renaming your own admin app to something like myappadmin? -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Tulley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 16, 2003 3:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Can't get to /admin dir of our webapp I've moved ours to be /tomcat/admin, so the we still have the admin functionality, but in a less generic name. It is just a simple change in webapps/admin.xml Jeff Tulley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (801)861-5322 Novell, Inc., The Leading Provider of Net Business Solutions http://www.novell.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
