Subject: Re: what happens with the content.xml file

It *is* loading the context.xml attributes from the war; except: the
name of the deployed context.xml file is dependant on the name of the
war, and as the path is dependant on name of the deployed context file...
E.g.
"hostfiles/trumpet2.2.war" deploys, it's "META-INF/context.xml" is
copied to "conf/Catalina/host/trumpet2.2.xml", and the app is made
available at "http://host/trumpet2.2/";.
So because you've renamed the .war, you've renamed the deployed path.
It'd be easier to leave it as 'probe.war'.
You could try symlinks/url mapping to get /probe/ to map to
/probe_ver_num/.
The context path attribute behaves in a pretty restrictive way. I'm not
sure what the thinking behind it is/was - maybe someone more
knowledgable can help.
