Do NOT cross-post questions to the users list and the dev list. All this does is annoy the very people you are relying on to take time out of whatever else they are doing to help you.
If you aren't sure where to ask, user the users list. On 19/03/2015 11:50, Thusitha Thilina Dayaratne wrote: > Hi All, > > Prior to Tomcat 7.0.58, we are able to set the context as "/". There are lots of things you can set configuration values to and Tomcat will still start. That doesn't mean that they are sensible settings or even valid ones. While Tomcat will usually catch obviously broken settings, users are expected to RTFM before they start changing things. "/" has never been a valid value for the context path as has been made clear in the Servlet specification and the Tomcat docs for as long as I can remember (10+ years). <snip/> > Is there a any specific reason for this change? > Why it is not allowing to set the context path as "/" There is no change. That has never been valid. That it worked in some subset of previous Tomcat versions is nothing more than luck.
