Hi All, Prior to Tomcat 7.0.58, we are able to set the context as "/". In the code it will go to else part and set the context without any issues.
public void setPath(String path) { if (path == null || (!path.equals("") && !path.startsWith("/"))) { this.path = "/" + path; log.warn(sm.getString( "standardContext.pathInvalid", path, this.path)); } else { this.path = path; } encodedPath = urlEncoder.encode(this.path); if (getName() == null) { setName(this.path); } } But from 7.0.58, when we trying to set context as "/", it will matches the first of condition as make the path an empty string(""). public void setPath(String path) { boolean invalid = false; if (path == null || path.equals("/")) { invalid = true; this.path = ""; } else if ("".equals(path) || path.startsWith("/")) { this.path = path; } else { invalid = true; this.path = "/" + path; } if (this.path.endsWith("/")) { invalid = true; this.path = this.path.substring(0, this.path.length() - 1); } if (invalid) { log.warn(sm.getString( "standardContext.pathInvalid", path, this.path)); } encodedPath = urlEncoder.encode(this.path); if (getName() == null) { setName(this.path); } } Is there a any specific reason for this change? Why it is not allowing to set the context path as "/" Thanks Best Regards /Thusitha On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 4:35 PM, Thusitha Thilina Dayaratne < thusit...@wso2.com> wrote: > Hi > > Thanks for quick response. > > Hi, > > > > I'm in the process of migrating to a embedded tomcat 7.0.59 application > to > > tomcat 8.0.20.
