Hello
I would like to propose to add several things to tomcat's context's
environment jndi when a context gets created
Specifically I am interested in context path, context real path and any
other tomcat context runtime info
If it will not violate security I would be happy if Context itself can
be looked up via jndi. One of the uses of this kind of information will
be to help jndi object factories which need this info to read its
metadata from WEB-INF directory (i.e. many Object/Relational mappers
need access to their metadata to be initialized). It is possible to use
Environment entries for this purpose but it will be deployment nightmare
because we will need to hardcode real path to context. If you think that
this case is well justified it would be great if we could add it to
Servlet specs
