Re: Context Name replacement variable for conf/context.xml

[Mark Thomas]

Chris,

I think you misunderstood the requirement.
My reading of the OP request is that they want to add a standard 
<Manager .../> element to conf/context.xml so each web application uses 
the same custom session manager implementation. They want to be able to 
configure that session manager with at least one attribute that depends 
on the context name/path so that they can maintain separation of session 
manager instances between web applications.

We have something like this for JULI: ${classloader.webappName}.

There isn't anything that can currently do this for conf/context.xml but 
it might be possible to leverage WebappProperties that JULI uses to 
implement a new PropertySource. I haven't looked. I suggest created an 
enhancement request for this feature in Bugzilla.

Don't do this.

but would like to add the context name as one of the parameters to the 
manager (keyPrefix).

It's much easier to copy webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml to 
CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/keyPrefix-manager.xml and allow it 
so auto-deploy to that context-path.

Is there a variable or a list of variables I can use for this purpose? 
As using environment or java defined variables will not fit
this use case.
If you can't use system properties or environment variables, then what 
options do you actually have?
